==Explanation==
{{incomplete|Buckle up, boys and girls.}}
This comic changes over time, tracking the progress of the {{w|Philae (spacecraft)|Philae}} lander separating from the {{w|European Space Agency}}'s {{w|Rosetta (spacecraft)|Rosetta}} probe to land on a comet. More info about it at [http://rosetta.esa.int rosetta.esa.int].

Frames of the comic began appearing at midnight (EST) on November 12, 2014 and updated every five minutes. Together, the images form a {{w|flip book}}, which you can view at [http://xkcd1446.org xkcd1446.org].

The comic presents the imagined anthropomorphic "thoughts" of the Rosetta spacecraft and the Philae lander (and occasionally other parties) during the hours approaching separation from each other, approach to the comet, and (so far) initial analysis of data after the apparent successful landing on the comet. Beginning at [[Media:???65.png|11:05:00]], the comic includes a "Status Report" in the lower right corner which summarizes the status of various interested parties and accomplishments, beginning with "Rosetta", "Philae lander", "Mission Control", "Comet 67P", and "Have we landed on a comet?". As events occur in the comic, more status summaries are added to keep track of the changes to the situation and the supposed emotions behind them.

In many pictures a whale can be seen on the surface of the comet - often marked with a "?" as are almost all other parts of the unknown surface. There is also drawn a [[Cueball]] on the surface... Whales are also mentioned in the "Status Report" where they for instance may be listed as "calm" or "(probably) not in space". Also Dolphins and fish are mentioned here.

The reference to whales comes from the fact that Philae brings along three harpoons - and on earth these have mainly been used to hunt Whales.

It could at the same time be a reference to ''{{w|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy}}'' where a whale suddenly appears over a planet - only to fall to the ground. Also one of the books is calles ''So long and thanks for all the Fish'' which is a meassage from the Dolphins when they all leave the doomed earth - hence the refrence to all three sea dwelling species.

The title was originally "???", but changed to "Landing" when Philae touched down (the first time). Had the lander ''Crashed'' this might have been the title instead!

The title text was originally "...", but changed to "[LIVE]" part of the way through.

1446: Landing

2014-11-12T20:27:37Z

Zer0keefie: /* Transcript */ Fix 16:20:00 timestamp

{{comic
| number = 1446
| date = November 12, 2014
| title = Landing
| image = landingAnimated.gif
| titletext = [LIVE]
}}

==Explanation==
{{incomplete|Buckle up, boys and girls.}}
This comic changes over time, tracking the progress of the {{w|Philae (spacecraft)|Philae}} lander separating from the {{w|European Space Agency}}'s {{w|Rosetta (spacecraft)|Rosetta}} probe to land on a comet. More info about it at [http://rosetta.esa.int rosetta.esa.int].

Frames of the comic began appearing at midnight (EST) on November 12, 2014 and updated every five minutes. Together, the images form a {{w|flip book}}, which you can view at [http://xkcd1446.org xkcd1446.org].

The comic presents the imagined anthropomorphic "thoughts" of the Rosetta spacecraft and the Philae lander (and occasionally other parties) during the hours approaching separation from each other, approach to the comet, and (so far) initial analysis of data after the apparent successful landing on the comet. Beginning at [[Media:???65.png|11:05:00]], the comic includes a "Status Report" in the lower right corner which summarizes the status of various interested parties and accomplishments, beginning with "Rosetta", "Philae lander", "Mission Control", "Comet 67P", and "Have we landed on a comet?". As events occur in the comic, more status summaries are added to keep track of the changes to the situation and the supposed emotions behind them.

In many pictures a whale can be seen on the surface of the comet - often marked with a "?" as are almost all other parts of the unknown surface. There is also drawn a [[Cueball]] on the surface... Whales are also mentioned in the "Status Report" where they for instance may be listed as "calm" or "(probably) not in space". Also Dolphins and fish are mentioned here.

The reference to whales comes from the fact that Philae brings along three harpoons - and on earth these have mainly been used to hunt Whales.

It could at the same time be a reference to ''{{w|The Hitchickers guide to the Galaxy}}'' where a whale suddenly appears over a planet - only to fall to the ground. Also one of the books is calles ''So long and thanks for all the Fish'' which is a meassage from the Dolphins when they all leave the doomed earth - hence the refrence to all three sea dwelling species.

The title was originally "???", but changed to "Landing" when Philae touched down (the first time). Had the lander ''Crashed'' this might have been the title instead!

The title text was originally "...", but changed to "[LIVE]" part of the way through.

:Philae: Yeah! ... a little boring maybe.
03:50:00
:Rosetta: Ok, turning on ''concert''. I'll send you signals through the comet, once you're down there, so we can measure what's inside it.
:Philae: Assuming comets even ''have'' insides!
:Rosetta: I'm, uh, pretty sure they do.
04:10:00
:Philae: ''Wheee!''
04:15:00
:Rosetta: Quick, take a picture of me!
:Philae: Just take a selfie
:Rosetta: Can't. No front-facing camera

1446: Landing

2014-11-12T20:26:03Z

Zer0keefie: /* Transcript */

{{comic
| number = 1446
| date = November 12, 2014
| title = Landing
| image = landingAnimated.gif
| titletext = [LIVE]
}}

==Explanation==
{{incomplete|Buckle up, boys and girls.}}
This comic changes over time, tracking the progress of the {{w|Philae (spacecraft)|Philae}} lander separating from the {{w|European Space Agency}}'s {{w|Rosetta (spacecraft)|Rosetta}} probe to land on a comet. More info about it at [http://rosetta.esa.int rosetta.esa.int].

Frames of the comic began appearing at midnight (EST) on November 12, 2014 and updated every five minutes. Together, the images form a {{w|flip book}}, which you can view at [http://xkcd1446.org xkcd1446.org].

The comic presents the imagined anthropomorphic "thoughts" of the Rosetta spacecraft and the Philae lander (and occasionally other parties) during the hours approaching separation from each other, approach to the comet, and (so far) initial analysis of data after the apparent successful landing on the comet. Beginning at [[Media:???65.png|11:05:00]], the comic includes a "Status Report" in the lower right corner which summarizes the status of various interested parties and accomplishments, beginning with "Rosetta", "Philae lander", "Mission Control", "Comet 67P", and "Have we landed on a comet?". As events occur in the comic, more status summaries are added to keep track of the changes to the situation and the supposed emotions behind them.

In many pictures a whale can be seen on the surface of the comet - often marked with a "?" as are almost all other parts of the unknown surface. There is also drawn a [[Cueball]] on the surface... Whales are also mentioned in the "Status Report" where they for instance may be listed as "calm" or "(probably) not in space". Also Dolphins and fish are mentioned here.

The reference to whales comes from the fact that Philae brings along three harpoons - and on earth these have mainly been used to hunt Whales.

It could at the same time be a reference to ''{{w|The Hitchickers guide to the Galaxy}}'' where a whale suddenly appears over a planet - only to fall to the ground. Also one of the books is calles ''So long and thanks for all the Fish'' which is a meassage from the Dolphins when they all leave the doomed earth - hence the refrence to all three sea dwelling species.

The title was originally "???", but changed to "Landing" when Philae touched down (the first time). Had the lander ''Crashed'' this might have been the title instead!

The title text was originally "...", but changed to "[LIVE]" part of the way through.

:Rosetta: Ok, turning on ''concert''. I'll send you signals through the comet, once you're down there, so we can measure what's inside it.
:Philae: Assuming comets even ''have'' insides!
:Rosetta: I'm, uh, pretty sure they do.

1190: Time

2013-03-27T17:08:29Z

Zer0keefie: /* Frame by Frame Breakdown */ The entry for 60:00 should have been for 60:30 - adjusted

{{comic

| titletext = Wait for it.
}}

==Explanation==
{{incomplete}}
[[Cueball]] and [[Megan]] are presumably by the seaside - Cueball dips his foot in the water at 07:30, and further on (Megan starts at 11:30) they start making a sandcastle. Cueball leaves with a "Later!" at 25:30 and returns, without a word at 37:00, continuing in the effort to build the grand sandcastle. Megan leaves without a word at 43:30, and has not yet returned while Cueball still builds.

At 51:00 Cueball accidentally demolishes the original "turret" Megan and he completed at 17:00 while descending from the top of the castle. In the next frame he realizes what he broke and in the following frame he's in dismay about it. Since then Cueball tries to repair the damage (currently at 54:30).

This comic is continuing to change every half-hour, with no obvious finish time at this stage.

An animated gif (self updating so it should be current) running at a faster rate than the image above is available at http://primis.org/time/output.gif.

==Explanation==
{{incomplete}}
[[Cueball]] and [[Megan]] are presumably by the seaside - Cueball dips his foot in the water at 07:30, and further on (Megan starts at 11:30) they start making a sandcastle. Cueball leaves with a "Later!" at 25:30 and returns, without a word at 37:00, continuing in the effort to build the grand sandcastle. Megan leaves without a word at 43:30, and has not yet returned while Cueball still builds.

At 51:00 Cueball accidentally demolishes the original "turret" Megan and he completed at 17:00 while descending from the top of the castle. In the next frame he realizes what he broke and in the following frame he's in dismay about it. Since then Cueball tries to repair the damage (currently at 54:30).

This comic is continuing to change every half-hour, with no obvious finish time at this stage.

An animated gif (self updating so it should be current) running at a faster rate than the image above is available at http://primis.org/time/output.gif.

==Explanation==
{{incomplete}}
[[Cueball]] and [[Megan]] are presumably by the seaside - Cueball dips his foot in the water at 07:30, and further on (Megan starts at 11:30) they start making a sandcastle. Cueball leaves with a "Later!" at 25:30 and returns, without a word at 37:00, continuing in the effort to build the grand sandcastle. Megan leaves without a word at 43:30, and has not yet returned while Cueball still builds.

At 51:00 Cueball accidentally demolishes the original "turret" Megan and he completed at 17:00 while descending from the top of the castle. In the next frame he realizes what he broke and in the following frame he's in dismay about it. Since then Cueball tries to repair the damage (currently at 54:30).

This comic is continuing to change every half an hour, with no obvious finish time at this stage.

{{comic

| title = Time

| titletext = Wait for it.
}}

==Explanation==
{{incomplete}}
[[Cueball]] and [[Megan]] are presumably by the seaside - Cueball dips his foot in the water at 07:30, and further on (Megan starts at 11:30) they start making a sandcastle. Cueball leaves with a "Later!" at 25:30 and returns, without a word at 37:00, continuing in the effort to build the grand sandcastle. Megan leaves without a word at 43:30, and has not yet returned while Cueball still builds.

At 51:00 Cueball accidentally demolishes the original "turret" Megan and he completed at 17:00 while descending from the top of the castle. In the next frame he realizes what he broke and in the following frame he's in dismay about it. Since then Cueball tries to repair the damage (currently at 54:30).

This comic is continuing to change every half an hour, with no obvious finish time at this stage.

==Frame by Frame Breakdown==

==Explanation==
{{incomplete}}
[[Cueball]] and [[Megan]] are presumably by the seaside - Cueball dips his foot in the water at 07:30, and further on (Megan starts at 11:30) they start making a sandcastle. Cueball leaves with a "Later!" at 25:30 and returns, without a word at 37:00, continuing in the effort to build the grand sandcastle. Megan leaves without a word at 43:30, and has not yet returned while Cueball still builds.

At 51:00 Cueball accidentally demolishes the original "turret" Megan and he completed at 17:00 while descending from the top of the castle. In the next frame he realizes what he broke and in the following frame he's in dismay about it. Since then Cueball tries to repair the damage (currently at 54:30).

This comic is continuing to change every half an hour, with no obvious finish time at this stage.

Talk:1116: Traffic Lights

2013-03-27T11:42:03Z

Zer0keefie: /* Red and yellow */

I doubt that this comic carries any deeper meaning. [[Special:Contributions/108.233.253.211|108.233.253.211]] 16:29, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Traffic signals really are one of the most inscrutable inventions to ever be made. I mean, red means stop, yellow means caution, green means go. Unless you're in a turn lane, which means you have to watch for the green arrow, if there is one, or wait for an opening. Unless you're turning right, which is permitted to turn at any time providing there aren't any cars. Unless there's a sign that says "No Right Turn On Red". There's also the crazy cities that have special right turn lights. Then there's the intersections that have a sign for each lane telling what can and cannot be done. Or, if you're really lucky one of those intersections that has the LED screen that dynamically changes what the lane can and cannot do. And to top it all off, the Colorado Department of Transportation (as well as a few other states I'm sure) are testing out a 4-stage left turn light to increase the safety of drivers. [https://www.auroragov.org/cs/groups/public/documents/document/003604.pdf] Yes, you read that pamphlet correctly. There is a special 4th light, just to blink yellow, because you couldn't just make the yellow light blink, like it does anyway after 9pm. No. There has to be a whole special light that indicates when a left-turn-er must use special caution to turn.

: Note that New York City doesn't allow right turns on red, unless a sign is posted that says otherwise. I suppose this helps reduce the incidence of pedestrians being run into/over. You might also think it helps keep vehicles out of crosswalks, but it doesn't. [[User:CityZen|CityZen]] ([[User talk:CityZen|talk]]) 01:13, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Nope. I'm done driving. Bring on the self-driving cars, people are officially idiots. [[User:Lcarsos|lcarsos]] ([[User talk:Lcarsos|talk]]) 16:52, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
: There is a problem with a blinking yellow arrow. Blinking yellow is already used. It means you have the right of way, but the other direction may proceed as well. What is wanted here is blinking red, which means that you stop, but may proceed, as someone else has the right of way. As for adding a fourth light, this just confuses things even more, particularly with respect to color blind individuals. Having said that, Virginia's variant is to have lights with both left arrows and solid greens. If it is green arrow, you have the right of way, while solid green means the other direction also has a green. There is almost always a sign reading "left turn yield on <solid-green-circle>" [[User:Divad27182|Divad27182]] ([[User talk:Divad27182|talk]]) 18:19, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

::so the blinking yellow left arrow generally means the same as a round green light - you can go when it's clear, but the opposite traffic has a green light too. I love this idea because a lot of the time where there is a separate left-turn signal, there are advanced lefts for both ways, and then left turners get a red left arrow and have to stop while people going straight get a green - so even where there's no oncoming traffic, you can't turn. this way, you just lose your "advance" status and go back to the regular rule of "turn if you can, otherwise you end up turning as the lights go yellow"

::I think what Lcarsos is pointing out if you check the PDF link, is that the new left-turn lane has 4 lights, all of which are left-arrow shaped. Thus, his point is why couldn't they make the 2nd light (yellow left arrow) blink, instead of installing a third light which is also a yellow left arrow whose job is to blink?

::I can think of a few possible reasons - first, perhaps an all-blinking light has different bulbs which are more efficient for blinking and won't burn out as much; second, because they want to distinguish between the two lights more strongly (i.e. if you glance over between blinks, you don't have to wait a moment to see if it will blink - if you see the 3rd light up, you know it's going to blink without waiting for it to actually blink); similarly, I suppose there could be colour blindness issues where they want to make it clear which light is which.

::PS: Right on Red is more common in north america than other places, but even here there are a few exceptions that do not allow right turns on red lights. New York City is one. Montreal is another. Most of Mexio is a third. [[User:TheHYPO|TheHYPO]] ([[User talk:TheHYPO|talk]]) 21:19, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

::You can also white a white 'cigar' light that is inteded for busses only.

:From the first traffic light in London 1868 until standardization in the 1920s people tried out many crazy lights (see http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/T-VT.1970.23426) including---literally---bells and whistles to announce changes. It seems this phase is still not really over.[[Special:Contributions/134.169.34.172|134.169.34.172]] 10:33, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Hmm... not one to do the actual analysis, I still wonder whether there could be some message encoded in the pattern of lights -- in binary ASCII, baudot, Morse, or something. Hmm... [[Special:Contributions/208.54.40.227|208.54.40.227]] 19:12, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

=== Red and yellow ===

In Poland you can sometimes stumble upon '''red and yellow''' -- while yellow alone means that there shortly would be a red, and you can proceed if you are at or almost at crossing, but stop otherwise, red and yellow is to mean that there shortly would be green (go), and to prepare oneself. But it is quite rare. [[User:JakubNarebski|JakubNarebski]] ([[User talk:JakubNarebski|talk]]) 06:45, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

This is the way ALL UK lights behave.

Some lights in the US use '''red and yellow''' to mean that a pedestrian is crossing, although I've only seen this when the light is blinking red/yellow to start with (yes, I've seen full 3-bulb traffic lights that are only used to flash red/yellow).

In Brazil some cities have greens and red in a row, and they decrease to indicate how long the green or red will last. something like http://www.guiasjp.com/fotos_noticias/foto_1165344648.8822.jpg [[Special:Contributions/189.125.162.182|189.125.162.182]] 20:22, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
In BRazil too, in Goiânia there's a nice one here for pedestrians, with leds, that show an animated pedestrian walking and when the time is running out HE RUNS FASTER! Like, it's about to go green for the cars, but feel free to cross... IF YOU'RE FAST!

In Tianjin China they have a traffic signal that is a single bar of light. If it is green it starts subtracting bar length segments. When there is about a quarter left it turns yellow and then red. It then start subtracting bar length segments from the other end until it gets to about a quarter length and then turns green again. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bob406/3428844012

It's how traffic engineers troll you when you are going the wrong way on a one-way. Learn to read signs!

This comic has some tongue in cheek self reference to [[277: Long Light]]. #Meta And definite trolling, by [[Randall]]

Any chance it is one?

I was almost expected to see the Konami code in the left light, though I'm not sure how "B A Start" would have been shown. [[User:CityZen|CityZen]] ([[User talk:CityZen|talk]]) 01:13, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

== Music ==

I am no musician, but I can't help but wonder if there could be a hidden music chart in there somehow.
Also, if you want confusing, try understanding parking signs in Montreal.

== And You thought 4 stage was bad enough ==

Here In BC, in older installations, and I'm not sure whether any still exist, there used to be lights with 5 stages. It wasn't really any different than the standard red-yellow-green-turn combo you generally see where the turning light may come on, it just had the yellow arrow shown when the turning arrow is about to expire in it's own lamp. It behaves pretty expectantly, but it looks very imposing.

== Race cars ==

The second light has quite a resemblance to the "christmas tree" that governs the start of a drag race, where the lights change colors according to a pattern http://www dot nhra dot com/nhra101/basics.aspx [[Special:Contributions/69.121.10.82|69.121.10.82]] 04:32, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
