Every one. But I have this one up in my office:

Flint, I really like that chart. Gonna send it to all my peeps.

^^^^ Fuckin' A. ^^^^

xkdc did a poll... no more than a poll, an experiment. They had readers name colors, and tabulated the results here.

Quote:

Thank you so much for all the help on the color survey. Over five million colors were named across 222,500 user sessions.

If you ask people to name colors long enough, they go totally crazy.
“Puke” and “vomit” are totally real colors.
Colorblind people are more likely than non-colorblind people to type “fuck this” (or some variant) and quit in frustration.
Indigo was totally just added to the rainbow so it would have 7 colors and make that “ROY G. BIV” acronym work, just like you always suspected. It should really be ROY GBP, with maybe a C or T thrown in there between G and B depending on how the spectrum was converted to RGB.
A couple dozen people embedded SQL ‘drop table’ statements in the color names. Nice try, kids.
Nobody can spell “fuchsia”.

How to tell if my neighbors are raptors...

"exits are north, south and east, but are blocked by a spectral wolf." sounds like a fun mud

I'll have some of whatever David Troupes is having. :3eye:

LOL!

(Yes, literally.)

;)

Oh and please don't give it away. Some people may not get it the first time...

That's a great mnemonic!

Who is? xkcd? Does it stand for something? :confused:

What does XKCD stand for?
It's not actually an acronym. It's just a word with no phonetic pronunciation -- a treasured and carefully-guarded point in the space of four-character strings.

the mouseover:Out in a field, not another car for miles, silence but for the rain drumming on the sunroof, warm thick folds of the blanket hiding wordless fingertip games ...

Whoa! When did PBF start up again?

I love the whole world!
