http://xkcd.com/sub (archive only) — "The Sub Project", a long explanation of how Randall and others build submarines?

http://xkcd.com/temp (archive only)

- http://xkcd.com/temp/email.txt (archive only) — Seems to be an email exchange between Randall and someone else?
- http://xkcd.com:80/temp/euphoria.txt (archive only) — This says "<Sphere> Ok, that last Randall who said 'to clarify' was actually Randall, but pretty much none of the others were. Also no Sphere after this gets linked in chat a second time is actually Randall either. Randall is probably not there."
- https://xkcd.com/temp/evidenceofidentity.txt (archive only) — "[Randall] Hello to everyone who waited in line to say hi to me on my How To book tour and specifically mentioned this chat!
  [Sierra] Hello mr. probably not the real Randall :D [...]"

- http://www.xkcd.com/temp/humor/baby_mop.jpg (archive only)

http://xkcd.com/time (redirect to comic 1190: Time)

http://xkcd.com/twitter (redirect to https://x.com/xkcd)

http://xkcd.com/cyborg.txt
- Interesting script. According to an old blag article, it is "a short Python script that uses a USB GPS device under Linux to help with navigation. It doesn’t have maps or anything — it just gives distances and, while you’re moving, the direction to the destination (as in 'two o’clock'). It prints this info on the terminal and speaks it using speech synthesis."

http://xkcd.com/channel.html (archive only)
- I have no idea what this it. It's full of gibberish and Chinese text.

http://xkcd.com/channel.txt (archive only)
- Same as above, but it downloads the file to the PC.

http://xkcd.com/me.txt (archive only)
- Only says "I am not in 1110.n01se.net anymore". Learn more in this Reddit thread, in this YouTube video of how it used to work, and in the GitHub for 1110.n01se.net. I'm assuming Randall wanted to say that anyone who tries to impersonate him in the future isn't him?

http://xkcd.com/why.txt (archive only)
- Contains 33 THOUSAND "why" questions. May be related to 1256: Questions? Very interesting!

http://xkcd.com/bitcoin ✓ Existing: Bitcoin address
- There's also this one, which we have dissected on the page Bitcoin address (very interesting read!)

http://holistic.xkcd.com (archive only)
- "The XKCD Holistic Browser. Because we are all one. Type a web address and you'll be taken to one typed by someone else."

https://aram.xkcd.com (archive only)
- "This page is regenerated every day and may be NSFW. It shows a random result from a Google image search for IMG_????.jpg plus a random caption:" Seems it stopped working completely after a few years and got stuck one image&caption. Aram inspired Black Hat, see his page for more.

https://xkcd.com/verizon/ ✓ Created: verizon

http://mail.xkcd.com (archive only)
- Seems Randall set it up but never used it.

https://xkcd.com/personal
- There was a /personal folder on xkcd, but it's been entirely wiped https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://xkcd.com/personal/*

https://xkcd.com/ngram-charts/ ✓ Created: ngram charts
- Still online, but the images are missing even in the archive. "Some of the interesting charts I've come across while using Google Books ngrams (which analyzes the frequency of word use in their scanned books corpus over time)"

https://xkcd.com/color/rgb/
- https://xkcd.com/color/rgb.txt

http://68.57.186.221:8080/ (archive only)
- xkcd.com redirected to this at some points during 2004, this capture is from October 24th of 2004 specifically.

https://throw.xkcd.com (only available in the archive)
- This was likely hacked, see this Reddit thread: "I emailed the xkcd.com webmaster, it was a testing URL he forgot to shut down. It's fixed now."

Ngrams[edit]

The images on the ngrams page appear to be generated dynamically. The original URLs are broken, but can be restored by changing "/chart" to "/graph". This doesn't fix the HTML page, but it does render each of the 58 URLs accessible - see below.

All graphs default to a corpus from 2009. Note that some graphs, such as the one noted "cherry picking" below, look very different using a more recent corpus.
