:But what about the additional wine produced in America? You only took into account the wine consumed. --[[User:Effy|Effy]] ([[User talk:Effy|talk]]) 10:15, 1 March 2016 (UTC) | :But what about the additional wine produced in America?

:Also, I recalculated from the article you linked to and got a figure much closer to 18 cm. Maybe check your calculations? When I take 893M gallons and convert to cubic meters I get about 3.38 million, not just over 4 million. This would perhaps suggest that each pipe in the comic is either matter produced OR consumed, but not both added together. --[[User:Effy|Effy]] ([[User talk:Effy|talk]]) 10:33, 1 March 2016 (UTC) | :Also, I recalculated from the article you linked to and got a figure much closer to 18 cm.

:One last comment: I corrected the table per above, I hope that's okay. However, I noticed that if we use wine produced instead of wine consumed, the pipe comes out to 17.9 cm instead of 18.5. Perhaps that was what the pipe was intended for? (I guess the extra wine will need to imported with a transatlantic pipeline.) See: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wine-producing_countries List of wine-producing countries]. --[[User:Effy|Effy]] ([[User talk:Effy|talk]]) 10:39, 1 March 2016 (UTC) | :One last comment: I corrected the table per above, I hope that's okay.

− | The Trivia section speaks of Leap Day comics, describing another as being "also like this one on a Friday in 2008". That implies Leap Day yesterday was a Friday. It was not, Leap Day was a Monday this year (as was the release date of this comic). ???? Other phrasing in the Trivia section uses similarly incorrect phrasing, leading me to question the validity of the declaration that the next Leap Day Release Date is in 20 years. (I personally can't check right now). - NiceGuy1 [[Special:Contributions/108.162.218.148|108.162.218.148]] 06:44, 2 March 2016 | + | The Trivia section speaks of Leap Day comics, describing another as being "also like this one on a Friday in 2008".

− | : I note that the Trivia sections of [[390: Nightmares]] and [[1023: Late-Night PBS]] are similarly garbled with the same incorrect information. I also note that UTC timestamps on here are 5:15 ahead of Eastern time where I am. I thought UTC was the middle of the ocean, this is 15 minutes past Greenwich. Even if the number of hours is right, the 15 minutes shouldn't be - NiceGuy1 [[Special:Contributions/108.162.218.148|108.162.218.148]] 07:51, 2 | + | : I note that the Trivia sections of [[390: Nightmares]] and [[1023: Late-Night PBS]] are similarly garbled with the same incorrect information.

Interesting that Randall doesn't include a pipe for air, a fluid consumed in great quantities in the country.
