   I’d claim that “blog” no longer looked like a word after reading that… but then again, nothing has actually changed.

   And I think I need to get my eyes checked… I can’t see the Internet when I cross my eyes looking at that… all I can see is some round, tube-shaped things.

    But “blog” is a derivative of “weblog,” not the other way around.

    (Any other site and I wouldn’t bother to point it out.)

30. Robert de Forest Says:
    October 6th, 2007 at 5:05 pm

    It’s a page about blogs, of course it uses the word a lot. However, I would be interested to see a comparison with other wikipedia topics. I tried comparing the Blog to Salt, for the hell of it. The HTML of the Blog article is just shy of 150k. The Salt article is just under 100k. The version of Blog I scanned contained 583 words with the letters ‘blog’ within them, matching case insensitively. The Salt article had 562 ’salt’ words.

    So 1/500th of the Salt article is the word ’salt’, and 1/750th of the Blog article is the word ‘blog’.

    Fascinating.

    October 6th, 2007 at 9:03 pm

    Out of curiosity, how many words were *not* “blog” or a derivative? I mean, what percentage of the article does “blog*” represent?

    @ Dru89 above: I regularly read the NYTimes, plus my 2 local daily papers, and 2 local weekly alt papers in my city. I also scan (for specific content as part of my job) 2 other daily papers from nearby cities and 3 other national papers (WaPo, LATimes, and USAToday). And occasionally i pick up some of the other neighborhood papers that Seattle produces. But i will acknowledge that newspaper nerds like me are probably growing scarcer and scarcer, especially outside of the news industry.

37. Joey Joe Joe Jr. Says:

    Weblog is included on the list but doesn’t fall in either of the categories stated, “the word blog” or “derivitives (of the word blog)”.

    Surely, if I have my etymology correct, it would be more accurate to say that the word ‘blog’ is a derivitive of ‘weblog’ since the latter was coined first.

    Reminds me of those grammatically correct sentences composed of one just word (and homophones and derivatives). Usually an animal that has a transitive verb for a name.

    @Colin Dean:
    Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo.
    Dogs dogs dog dog dogs.
    Badgers badgers badger badger badgers.

    I have trouble reading one this aloud using the correct intonation:

    John, when playing a game of Scrabble against Dick who, whilst pondering the degree of legitimacy the last word that Harry (who had had ‘had’) had had had had, had had ‘had’, had had ‘had’. Had ‘had’ had more letters, he would have played it again.

    I think there’s a way to add a few more “had”s in there, if one of the scrabble players is actually named “Had” and the sentence structure is a bit different, but I couldn’t construct it off the top of my head.

    My favorite by far, however, comes from china. Technically (since Mandarin is tonal) this poem is not composed of all the “same” sounds. But jst listen to it. As a non-Mandarin speaker, it just made me feel like someone really wanted me to be quiet.

    We need to name this number - the number of times a derivative of the word under discussion is used on its own page by Wikipedia. We could call it the Wikipedia XKCD number, for starters.

    Greg K Nicholson,
    I see it has “snake” already (legitimately), but is still needing “mushroom” for massive damage and great justice.

    For what it’s worth, I did the “highlight all” for ‘blog’ on the blog article, and it looked at a casual glance to be pretty comparable to highlighting all of the word ‘the’. Which seems scary somehow.

45. Cesium Says:
    October 7th, 2007 at 12:20 pm

    @Nate
    There’s also the one that goes,
    The owner of an inn was painting the name, “Horse and Wagon”, onto a sign. A traveler passing by stopped and said, “There’s too much space between horse and and and and and wagon.”

    @Joshua
    Or it could just be a Word Individual Knowledge Iterance or WIKI number.

46. Scott Knowlton Says:
    October 7th, 2007 at 12:24 pm

    To Greg and Ben,

    I’ve taken the liberty of (at least temporarily) working the word “mushroom” into the badger page, in a roundabout way, under the “Diet” section of the page.

    How long it will stay, I don’t know, but at least it’s been there.

53. Nate Says:
    October 7th, 2007 at 11:05 pm

    @Cesium.

    Similarly, one could say:

    An XKCD reader Cesium was writing the phrase:

    “The owner of an inn was painting the name, “Horse and Wagon”, onto a sign. A traveler passing by stopped and said, “There’s too much space between horse and and and and and wagon.”

    onto the XKCD blag, when Nate stopped by to point out: There’s too much space between “horse” and “and”, and “and” and “and”, and “and” and “and”, and “and” and “and”, and “and” and “and”, and “and” and “wagon”.

    That’s 21. Can we do better? Yes.

    Because this process can be repeated arbitrarily many times, so (by simple recurrence relations) I think that it is safe to say that for any number x of the form x = (-1/3) + (4/3)(4^n) where n is a non-negative integer, there exists a grammatically correct sentence with x consecutive occurrences of the word “and”. (Here, the property of ‘consecutiveness’ is independent of punctuation.)

    Ah, I’d like to add a ridiculous blog permutation: plog, or plogging. To blog, politically. Also slightly euphemistic. e.g. “why don’t you just go plog about it, then?”

     To be fair, that’s like saying “The following sentence has everything but the letter ‘a’ removed: a a aa a aa aa aa a.”

     Why see the Internet in 3D when you can hear it binaurally?!

     Here’s an audio reply to this post to be listened with iTunes.

     Here’s some childish fun in the same vein. After you’ve finished writing a pretentious academic paper, find/replace all “p” with “poop.”

     “In this poopaper I will pooprove that the Japoopanese…”

     I am very seriously blown away by the insane stupidity of this. Serious if you spent even a fraction of the time it took you to create this you could create a decent NON-DEFAULT wordpress theme or even some half way decent copy to fill your blog pages.
     This is just madness and I am willing to bet you just got yourself added to googles and everyone else’s comment and keyword Spam lists. I would even maybe think of removing this post altogether really. Tis your blog though.
     Have fun. Cool pics of the ball thing in your room BTW.

     Quoting Philip: “And I think I need to get my eyes checked… I can’t see the Internet when I cross my eyes looking at that… all I can see is some round, tube-shaped things.”

     The internet is a series of tubes! So, looks like your eyes are fine.

     PS: I crossed my eyes and saw the same.

     That brings me back to a camp I went to. Blogging was young, and the term had just been coined. One of the councilors had heard the word and it spread through the camp like wild fire, it was so fun to say and completely meaningless to us. It was a sad day when someone found out and it was announced that it was only slang for ‘weblog’. I kid you not, there was a unanimous group sigh from a couple hundred people.
