Cueball [standing on the marker]: I love finding these survey markers. It's somehow reassuring. I like that someone, somewhere, knows where this spot is. If I stand on it, they know where I am.
Ponytail: But the NAD83 and NAVD88 datums are getting replaced soon. That marker's coordinates could be shift by like 5 feet. Oh look, it jus got updated

Rules
Don't be a jerk. There are a lot of comics that don't have set in stone explanations; feel free to put multiple interpretations in the wiki page for each comic.
If you want to talk about a specific comic, use its discussion page.

Off-topic or other inappropriate content is subject to removal or modification at admin discretion, and users who repeatedly post such content will be blocked.
