:::Please, please, please, let's not turn this comment section into a "hey listen to my important opinion" fight about abortion. [[Special:Contributions/199.27.133.67|199.27.133.67]] 21:55, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

::::"Please, please, please, let's not turn this comment section into a "hey listen to my important opinion" fight about abortion. I thought that, with Randall seeming to be a liberal, that I could avoid that uncomfortable thing called truth here. Please don't rip rocket-sized holes in my arguments, lest I bring out the hate speech." Did you hit Save before finishing?

:::::This is a wiki discussion. Not CNN comment board. The comment was not related to the comic and does not indicate the author's support for abortions nor a lack thereof. Perhaps you've entered the incorrect URL. As mentioned in prior xkcd comics, statements about ideas related directly to science are not political by definition. One may attempt to use science for political reasons, but that is not what is being done here. Please end the personal attacks. 15:25, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
 
  
 
It may be a cultural-linguistic thing, but I felt compelled to change "cries" to "crying", in the explanation.  Hearing "his cries" is redolent of "Ahoy there!" coming from a person attracting attention in a nautical context, the various distinctive calls of a person selling produce in a street-market or "I'm up here!  Get me down!" from a person stuck on the ledge of a burning building.  When a baby cries (as opposed to when someone "cries out") you hear him (or her... it's not actually specified) 'crying', not his(/her) 'calling-cries', even though both are indeed similar forms of attracting attention.  I've overthought this, of course.
