S7.228 - Revamping

* TPTB were first referenced back in S4.125:
     "I've Been Working on The Railgun."

<<FIRST <LAST WK INDEX NEXT WK> END>>

LYN: I don't trust that Maud guy.
PARA: I'll ask Q about him.
LYN: You talk to Transcendental Pi-Type Beings?
PARA: Yeah! But 'TPTB' rarely answer.
PARA: I'd need someone like Chordy from that TV show, "Angle".
LYN: Those pop culture references need more actual math.
PARA: 5 x 5 ?

  1. Wouldn't 5 X 5 be a reference to f(1/8), not Chordy?

    1. Correct! (Yaaay, Buffy is still a thing.) My response is to have a look at the rollover remark, which is what appears if you let your mouse 'hover' over the comic. Hey, if XKCD does those, why not me?

      Granted, it's not as clever as "f(1/8)", that's pretty inspired. To those of you reading this comment, you should be checking out the (x, why?) comics too: http://mrburkemath.blogspot.ca

  2. You got me. Didn't realize you were doing the rollover thing. I have that one my blog, too, but then I put it underneath anyway for those that can't rollover. (And because it isn't available on the comicgenesis site.)

    1. I debated including them in my text recap underneath. Then I thought, nah, I'll let it be an Easter Egg for those who specifically look for that kind of thing. (And hey, if people forget, maybe I'll get double the hits as they go back to check! ;) )
