What's funny (coincidence monster) is the first time I've woken up at 7, caught BMW..

(and it just happens to be the episode where Mr. Feeny shows up at the college. He was posing as a student first (trying to warm up to the Dean). Creepy, man. I watched for 5 minutes, then realized I was already 10 years too old when this show was airing then, so I convinced myself it's not worth investing memories and recapitulations to something I'd just as soon like to forget. Who's the creepy one now?)

SO BAD IT'S WORSE

You think it's so legendarily bad you'll want to torrent it and sit through it just for the kitschy nerd cred. I, too, once thought as you did.

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.

For those of us pedantic enough to want a rule, here it is: The preferred form is "xkcd", all lower-case. In formal contexts where a lowercase word shouldn't start a sentence, "XKCD" is an okay alternative. "Xkcd" is frowned upon.

xkcd.com updates without fail every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
