Comments on: A List http://blag.xkcd.com/2008/04/24/a-list/ The blag of the webcomic Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:16:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Védís http://blag.xkcd.com/2008/04/24/a-list/comment-page-12/#comment-30274 Védís Mon, 24 Aug 2009 23:25:11 +0000 http://blag.xkcd.com/2008/04/24/a-list/#comment-30274 Seems to me like a list of pros and cons of becoming a pirate. For example, resupplying the ship could be a problem, as well as the fact that to be a proper pirate you have to have a wooden leg... Which would mean you'd have to chop off your own leg. Ouch. However it might also be a general to-do list before becoming a pirate. Seems to me like a list of pros and cons of becoming a pirate.

John (Long John Silver), Parrot (Duh), Legend, Leg (peg leg) but i have no idea. To me it sounds more like u were playing some crossword or just drunk and bored. By the way i love your comics... even though you are much superior to me in intelegence and i dont understand the square root of 1/100 of them ( for you, the math genius) It sounds a little bit like treasure island to me… John (Long John Silver), Parrot (Duh), Legend, Leg (peg leg) but i have no idea.

I think a lot of people here are thinking too hard and thus missing the mark.
