This is the least funny xkcd comic.

You just don't understand it.

In that case, I know just the place!

I found it funny before it was cool.

Impossible. By severely breaking the laws of space, time and causality, XKCD became cool across the entire universe 12 years before Randall drew the first strip.

Instructions unclear: Removed fingers can no longer hold hammer

But what if I don't have a surface of wood?! UGH it should say on the BOX that they are meant for WOOD... What will I do with all this wood-nails now?!

I used to do AutoCAD drawings. Some of the instructions were painful to write out.

This post pleases me.

"Wait... How do we nail this dude to the crucifix if we have to move his fingers out of the way?"

So that's what I've been doing wrong!
