Hmm... this comic and 786 have the same title. Is that a mistake? [[User:Castriff|Jimmy C]] ([[User talk:Castriff|talk]]) 01:07, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
Incidentally, St. Louis is about 300 miles from Chicago, so the shaft would be 40 miles short.
:It may very well have been on {{xkcd}} itself; there was a bit of a snafu when Randall posted the image.  That's part of the reason why we decided on number+name here, to ensure that that sort of naming collision couldn't be repeated. -- [[User:IronyChef|IronyChef]] ([[User talk:IronyChef|talk]]) 04:39, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
:It depends on how large the giant ring is. 20 mile radius would put it adjacent. Also, "outside" Chicago is flexible.
:It's also worth mentioning that 786 is both the number of the other strip, and the number of planets in this one. [[Special:Contributions/93.144.215.90|93.144.215.90]] 22:38, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

The image isn't appearing for me. I think it's a problem with the thumbnail system. [[User:Bugefun|Bugefun]] ([[User talk:Bugefun|talk]]) 18:15, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

A smoke ring from an exploded transformer.
 
I honestly think this could have inspired the comic.
As a side note, the pace at which we're discovering exoplanets is accelerating. The first confirmed planet-sized mass outside our solar system was discovered in 1992, and it was ten years until we could celebrate the discovery of the 100th exoplanet. In the fifteen months since this comic was posted, another 156 exoplanets have been discovered (source: Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia, which lists 942 exoplanets as of 2 Sep 2013).

Incidentally, St. Louis is about 300 miles from Chicago, so the shaft would be 40 miles short.

It depends on how large the giant ring is. 20 mile radius would put it adjacent. Also, "outside" Chicago is flexible.
More importantly, Black Hat is such a jerk. He builds a freaking space elevator but only uses it for a particularly silly kind of evil. - Frankie (talk) 14:26, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
