Transcript

Discussion
Can you explain more clearly what's wrong with the explanation? Of course Richard Stallman isn't related to Cirque de Soleil, that's the joke. LogicalOxymoron (talk) 05:28, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
- The cartoon is drawn using perspective, which is not normal for xkcd. For me, that is the main joke. Jim E (talk) 15:58, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
- In the comic as well as in the explanation, it is written "Cirque dE Soleil" when it should be "Cirque dU Soleil". 173.245.49.64 16:01, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Perhaps it's truer than folks realize. RMS dances quite well. Ethnic folk dancing. It's not Cirque de Soleil, but it is a side of him most of his fans never see.
