Woohoo! I made an explain xkcd article. This one wasn't that confusing, nor did it require much extra information. I am still a little new to the formatting, so please let me know what I need to improve.

The hardest parts were the date format and the transcript format. I also am unsure of how formal my explanation has to be. All of the other explanations sound so formal, and it is weird to be contributing to a community with such high standards.

Perhaps a link should be provided to say this is an allusion to Jurassic park? Perhaps? Crossing of frogs with dinosaur DNA?

Any feedback would be appreciated. (This is soo cool!)

:I'd think that'd be a giraffopod, wouldn't it? *(~.^)
:Perhaps the recurring theme of giraffes could be mentioned (not as much in the comic as in the what-if).

:Not sure "utopical" is a good word choice. Maybe "exotic" would be better? --[[User:Bpothier|B. P.]] ([[User talk:Bpothier|talk]]) 23:21, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Where does the joke about Pi come in? I don't think it's in there. I think the "joke" is just that giraffes would look amazing with dinosaur tails. --[[User:Grimertop90|Grimertop90]] ([[User talk:Grimertop90|talk]]) 15:17, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

I think there was a kickstarter some time ago for a glowing plant of some kind. The alt-text might be referencing that.
