		+	It's worth noting that all the weirdness added together, there would actually be a valid scenario for this number... it possibly being an angle, the high levels of precision, the value being larger than the observable universe, hexadecimal notation after the angle notation (if we assume afterwards is a unit notated by a memory address indicating a programmatically-invented unit in a system with an extended form of memory addresses, possibly 3 sets of 4... which might be a neccesarry alteration if attempted to calculate nonobservable universe properties, but that would imply there is a missing number off panel) could be consistent with trying to mathematically explore possibilities for the shape & topology of the unobservable universe. However, directly storing memory access locations rather than references with a number implies a necessity of extreme speed over readability of code... and the concept of a situation where extreme speed in calculating the topography of the nonobservable universe is of the utmost importance is a concerning situation indeed.

 ::The table format nicely organizes and separates the three data elements for each item.  If it was just "item" and "explanation", I'd agree that the list format would be better. But for three elements, the only list setup I can think of that would make any sense would be "number group" (bold) and then two bulleted lines for the comic's comment and the explanation... considerably less clear, I think.
