==Explanation==<br />
This comic is the 1000th comic shown on xkcd, containing 1000 characters from previous comics arranged in the shape of the number "1000". [[Megan]] is clearly excited as she screams "Wooooo!", but [[Cueball]], in true nerd fashion, thinks in base 2, saying that there are "just 24 to go until a big round-number milestone", as 1024 is a round number in multiples of 2 (2<sup>10</sup>).<br />
<br />
==Transcript==<br />
[1000 characters, numerous of which have appeared previously in other comics, are arranged to create the number "1000". Two more people stand in the foreground commenting on the formation]<br />
<br />
Person 1: WOOOO!<br />
<br />
Person 2: Wow - Just 24 to go until a big round-number milestone!<br />
