| Heatmap |
 Title text: There are also a lot of global versions of this map showing traffic to English-language websites which are indistinguishable from maps of the location of internet users who are native English speakers. |

Clearly it means that the furries are, in general, Martha Stewart fans, not the reverse. Are you mad? 174.125.142.147 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- It's a subtle hint that xkcd will be transitioning into Martha Stewart furry porn.76.20.159.250 05:05, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
I thought that it was implied that if they switched to furry advertising/content, they could be as successful as Marth Stewart... not that they should combine marth stewart and furry content into their site. 109.65.32.63 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
I was expecting some reference to George Lucas' THX 1138 for this comics.
But then, it is not George Lucas who's editing Xkcd...
