::More like it'll be the one and only time a comic number appears in its namesake year. :) I REALLY hope Randall does something with that.

:::Well he has three months to think of ideas... So hopefully something interesting. And I can't believe it's been 10 years since that April fools joke!

"Want to feel old?" feels old to me. I wish xkcd would stop overplaying it. Alas, it seems Randall's never gonna give it up, which is always gonna let me down.

"We've known each other for so long." So did Cueball and Megan meet by either of them rickrolling other?

The explanation says Cueball and Megan met 10 years ago at the height of the Rickrolling phenomenon, which is probably not true. While that's a possible explanation for why she said "Happy Anniversary, I guess", I think it's more likely she was saying Happy Anniversary to the phenomenon itself, not to Cueball, as XKCD has been around longer than 10 years and they've been there from early on. While Cueball's "We've known each other for so long" would seem to support talking about their friendship, it's also just a cute quip from the song that tangentially comments on their relationship. With the idea that Megan is probably not commenting on their relationship but rather the song, could someone rewrite the explanation?
