I wonder if Randall realizes that, if he had made this comic #1987 instead, it would coincide with the release year of Never Gonna Give You Up.
Speaking of which, who's excited for xkcd #2018 and the fact that such a thing will never happen again?

"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. Promethean (talk) 22:16, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
This reminds me of XKCD 843, in that they both make a parallel reference. It would be interesting to see what Randal was thinking when he created the formula. That being said, this explanation probably needs to be completely re-written per rule 5. Please work on this immediately. 172.68.34.16 (talk) 3:27, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
