804: Pumpkin Carving

Banach-Tarski paradox

A "round about reference" definitely merits a place in the external links section.

800: Beautiful Dream

The Rules

Yes, this strikes me as the sort of page with a definite need for an "In Popular Culture" section.

803: Airfoil

Airfoil

Thumbs up if you're an idiot.

It's like they know it's going to get reverted anyway, so they don't bother with subtlety anymore.

800: The Rules

The Rules

Thought question: How popular does something have to be before you can call it "In Popular Culture"?

I'm just going to leave that right here.

766: Green Flash

Green flash

Totally relevant.

"Green Flash" sounds like a DC superhero mix-up. I'd read it.

740: The Tell-Tale Beat

Daft Punk

So funny we vandalized it twice!

The page for Tell-Tale Heart wasn't actually vandalized, leading me to the theory that the caliber of genius that resorts to this behavior is not aware of the reference.

Lies, lies, dirty lies

Randall claims not to have foreseen exactly what would come of posting a Wikipedia-related comic.

For extra laffs, see the idiot wonderful individual who didn't catch that the "disambiguation" reference was an attempt at a joke as well as the responses thereto.

739: Malamanteau

Uh-oh, Randall made a Wikipedia-themed comic!

Edit: For clarification, the page didn't exist before yesterday (I think), but there have been countless attempts to create it since. As of last night, the page was a deletion log; today, it redirects to xkcd. The interesting stuff is, as usual, in the discussion and history pages.

738: Operation

Yes, I'm lazy.

But more importantly, someone thought this would be funny. Tell me which is more appalling!
