--Stephen Hawking did about the same thing, throwing a party for time travellers. But nobody came. (also yes thats an undertale reference :D )--104.23.175.41 06:36, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
Futurama reference? 162.158.91.54 03:56, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- [Lethal Inspection], a Futurama episoded with Inspector No 5.172.68.194.187 07:40, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
This is definitely a comic that does have "set-in-stone explanations." 162.158.155.81 06:40, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
I genuinely want to do this. Can anyone tell where I could find good locations, ones where rocks are likely to be preserved like in this comic? 162.158.134.184 07:13, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
"Deposition", as in the title, can mean either taking sworn evidence (in a legal context) or depositing material (in a geologic context). 172.68.54.179 07:49, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- This would be typical of Randall's propensity for double meanings! I think it needs to be added to the explanation. Ianrbibtitlht (talk) 11:10, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- It doesn't really have anything to do with anything in the comic, though. It would be no more relevant than commenting that e.g. 'margin' can also relate to page layouts, or 'might' can relate to the amount of power someone has. The explanations are going to get very long and confusing if we start calling out all the alternative meanings of every single word used in them.172.68.229.139 13:39, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
It's really cool that we see these aliens in these crafts. If you look at the other times aliens have shown up in XKCD they appear to be generally the same aliens, or just a UFO, and this is an interesting synthesis of the two. 172.68.27.180 14:13, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

It's also possible that the last panel is underwater, the shale hasn't been raised, and the beings aren't using antigravity. That would make it harder to use the shovel and pick, though. BunsenH (talk) 14:44, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
