Why is everyone assuming the location corresponds to an actual modern day location (e.g. Madagascar)? Given that http://xkcd.com/505/ is staged on an infinite plane full of rocks we shouldn't limit our search to the real, simply the rational.

:This doesn't make any sense. Rationals are (or are isomorphic to) a subfield of reals, so if we limit our search to rationals we also implicitly limit it to reals. But it's safe to assume that they are in some group. My intuition tells me that this group is a vector field (most likely R^3), but obviously we shouldn't rely on that. --[[User:DiEvAl|DiEvAl]] ([[User talk:DiEvAl|talk]]) 15:47, 21 June 2013 (UTC) | :This doesn't make any sense.

:I don't necessarily think that it's an actual place, but some of the plant and animal references have been so specific as to make you wonder if they mean something.
