Hint: copy/paste the weird looking text into the text field provided in the above mentioned website. Even after decryption, I couldn't follow what he meant, but I was hoping someone out there can do so and then explain it differently, thanks. It's a real mystery.

::::::::::Hi IP 108.162.245.57, your link shows a comic not done by [[Randall]]. The 404 page is just empty and that's the joke. --[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 20:03, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

::I think we are missing out on this section. I would like to have a separate page for this as we have for other larger comics. And also a separate transcript with the text that can be read on the large picture. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 21:24, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
 
:::And now it is being created, and categories belonging to this comic is being added. This makes sense comparing with all other large comics explanation pages. It is relevant to know that there are also hamster ball, boomerangs, kites, Richard Stallman and Star Wars lightsabers etc. But it's a huge work and it is not yet complete... To make it possible [[1000: 1000 Comics/Numbered images|a numbered image]] has been created and the [[1000: 1000 Comics/1000 characters|table with description of all 1000 characters]] are in progress. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 15:10, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Following with this wiki's goal of explaining the nuances of the XKCD comics I moved the connect the dots puzzle out of trivia and placed it int the main article.  It isn't a spoiler or just trivia, it fits well with the title text and is definitely not something a casual reader would find on the first pass through the comic. [[User:Chriswampler|Chriswampler]] ([[User talk:Chriswampler|talk]]) 13:13, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
 
 
Why is this still Incomplete? Unless someone wants to catalog all 1000 characters, there's not much left to do.

:Well there is someone who wish to do that, and it is happening right now. So that's why it is incomplete (again) now. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 15:10, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
 
 
Useless fact: 1024 is also a round number in base 4 and base 32. {{unsigned ip|173.245.49.108}}
 
 
The mathematical definition of a round number is not dependent on a "base", but upon the prime factors of the number; i.e., all prime factors must be less than the square root of the number.  Thus, 1000 is round because its prime factors are 2 and 5 which are under 32 and so is 1024 which has only the prime factor of 2.--DrMath 07:15, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 
 
;Celebrations
 
 
MIT hackers commemorated [[1000]] by posting all xkcd comics ever published around Lobby 7, a high traffic entryway near 77 Mass Ave. The comics were attached to both pillars and walls (using easily removable adhesive so as to avoid damaging the walls).  http://hacks.mit.edu/Hacks/by_year/2012/xkcd_1000/  [[User:Tericee|Tericee]] ([[User talk:Tericee|talk]]) 20:32, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

I'm disappointed. There is no Darth Vader and not a single raptor in this drawing :( {{unsigned ip|162.158.86.59}}
