<p>An extensive mention of xkcd by Wikipedia.</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Copied directly from Wikipedia's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:%22In_popular_culture%22_content &quot;'In Popular Culture' content&quot;] page:<br /> ----<br /> An example of a source which provides both good and bad pop culture references is xkcd, a webcomic that deals with subjects from obscure mathematics to ball pits. Some appropriate times that Wikipedia references xkcd are as follows:<br /> <br /> * xkcd author Randall Munroe loves the Python programming language. He wrote a strip that implies using Python is so easy that if there were a module called antigravity, then you could just import antigravity and be flying in five minutes.[2] So for Python 3, they actually added this module, which humorously acknowledges the notion by opening a web browser and navigating to the strip in question.[3]<br /> * Sean Tevis decided to promote his tech credentials by running an ad in an xkcd style during his 2008 State House race.[4] It attracted attention from sources who wouldn't ordinarily be interested in such a race,[5] and the campaign received over $100,000 from online donations.[6]<br /> <br /> On the other hand, xkcd routinely mentions dozens of other subjects without the reference impacting popular perception of the subject. Examples here would, sadly, basically be nose-beans, but at any given time there will usually be a few on special:WhatLinksHere/xkcd.<br /> ----<br /> Thought this was worth sharing.<br /> [[Special:Contributions/199.27.130.143|199.27.130.143]] 18:05, 4 August 2014 (UTC)</div>
