I thought this deserved recognition. Excellent work.

I didn't embed the rest as the formatting got screwed up.

ETA: Bugger data wrong by a year.

Well, I don't think they will be doing a t-shirt of that one. The note for it is worth reading about the pitch drop.

I clicked on various things, came up with nothing. Pitch drop?

Psst, it's 2014.

Yeah, yeah, hence my edit. I've asked the mods to edit the title.

Meh, and the bicycle stealing one is way off,

Pitch Drop Probably not what you thought it was

Don't click. Just scroll your mouse pointer over the image and the note should show up unless you have a funky browser set up or are using a phone.

I like how there is a timelapse video there to watch so you can really see how slow it is I watched the thing and didn't notice anything moving except the clock.

A good answer to the immortal question "What's the frequency, Kenneth?"

 

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Another pedantic nitpick, apparently there is still roughly one little league player per second striking out, despite it being night throughout the US.

A definite C- must try harder.

He identifies the page as average frequency.

Make sure to read the "What if"-blog as well.

I get xkcd through an app on my phone. Unfortunately it did not show the pulsing of the items, so it made very little sense until I viewed this thread.
