Woohoo! I made an explain xkcd article. This one wasn't that confusing, nor did it require much extra information. I am still a little new to the formatting, so please let me know what I need to improve.
The hardest parts were the date format and the transcript format. I also am unsure of how formal my explanation has to be. All of the other explanations sound so formal, and it is weird to be contributing to a community with such high standards.
Perhaps a link should be provided to say this is an allusion to Jurassic park? Perhaps? Crossing of frogs with dinosaur DNA?
Any feedback would be appreciated. (This is soo cool!)

- I'd think that'd be a giraffopod, wouldn't it? *(~.^)
- Perhaps the recurring theme of giraffes could be mentioned (not as much in the comic as in the what-if).
