::Do you know where was this reported? I've searched for it but I haven't found it yet. If you have the link I can add it to the explanation. [[User:Herobrine|Herobrine]] ([[User talk:Herobrine|talk]]) 20:39, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

:::It was announced on stage at the book signing (and I was really looking forward to Randall and Adam interacting), but I don't know anywhere else it may have showed up.[[User:MAP|MAP]] ([[User talk:MAP|talk]]) 06:26, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

::::I think the fact that Randall had just undergone (and fully recovered from) appendicitis is relevant to the appearance of this comic and think we should really put that detail back.  The simple fact that Randall isn't enough of a celebrity for it to be reported elsewhere shouldn't force us not to report it here, where Randall _is_ relevant.

:::::The issue here is that the text was added in a way that seems like it was rumor. The verifiability standards on explainxkcd are (presumably) less strict than {{w|WP:BLP}}, but it seems like you should source it to something, if only your own personal statement that you were there and Adam Savage orally made the claim, or whatnot.

"Zapped you with energy beams" sounds like it's referring to X-rays, rather than MRI. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.111.204|162.158.111.204]] 20:17, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
