This is the comic strip that caused xkcdexplained.com to exclaim "fuck this I'm done" and discontinue updating the site. It's probably worth mentioning that: A) It's actually Megan and Cueball's thoughts that are thinking of each other; and B) Both of them are in positions that indicate loneliness or distress. Perhaps it is a commentary on the irony of mutually unrequited love. [[Special:Contributions/66.224.70.107|66.224.70.107]] 23:50, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

: By your logic, yes. Unfortunately, your logic does not fully grasp the backend of quantum mechanics. No one's does. Feynman's didn't. Mine doesn't. And therefore, the measurement paradox (i.e. the philosophical interpretation of quantum mechanics) will remain up in the air until someone can frame it for our classically raised and trained minds. Or maybe they'll just go many-worlds on our asses? --[[User:Quicksilver|Quicksilver]] ([[User talk:Quicksilver|talk]]) 02:39, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

::In the TV series {{w|The Prisoner}}, those inmates who refused to follow the rules were called "unmutual". Might this be a reference?

I'm thinking the title text may refer to Einstein's one quote: "If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed."--[[Special:Contributions/172.68.186.64|172.68.186.64]] 18:49, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
