xkcd with captions

I am a fan of Randall Munroe's xkcd comic. I read it on a regular basis and enjoy the mouseover texts that come with the comics, but those can't easily be read on mobile devices. So this website has an RSS feed which pulls out the text and places it under the image. The feed links back to xkcd.com. Enjoy. This page only shows the latest entries.

Particle Physics Equipment

The one that sounds like the oracle at the center of the galaxy where the hero travels to hear a prophecy is probably Brookhaven National Laboratory's now-dismantled COSMOTRON.

Accretionary Arc

The late Triassic rifting was caused by a dinosaur trying to use the control panel to escape a predator, but it was eaten before the continent could fully separate.

Geology Building

The administration thinks it's weird, but the geologists say it looks normal.
