Editing Talk:896: Marie Curie

I miss the days when zombies would just bite you to death. What's with all this talking? '''[[User:Davidy22|<u>{{Color|#707|David}}<font color=#070 size=3>y</font></u><font color=#508 size=4>²²</font>]]'''[[User talk:Davidy22|<tt>[talk]</tt>]] 02:07, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
: It would probably be better if she came back as a ghost.  But radiation poisoning in pop lit only explains physically supernatural stuff,  not external consciousness supernatural stuff.  Zombies, on the other hand, have been used in pop lit as thinking characters, even though they shouldn't have been.

-Too bad Marguerite Vogt is not mentioned. She should have shared the Nobel with Renato Dulbecco, as (relatively) recent as 1975. --[[User:Jkrstrt|Jkrstrt]] ([[User talk:Jkrstrt|talk]]) 20:02, 21 June 2014 (UTC)--[[User:Jkrstrt|Jkrstrt]] ([[User talk:Jkrstrt|talk]]) 20:02, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
-Does it not escape your notice that by simply saying "everything else she says is true as well" you are doing the exact thing that this cartoon is trying to emphasise as unfair? In the last cartoon you guys couldn't say enough about the great Richard Feynman but you have reduced the achievements of two great women down to one simple sentence. Well played, I'm sure Randall's proud that you could so clearly see the point he was trying to make.

-I used to live in a road, named after Lise Meitner and read a lot about her back then. Really a shame she isn't more well known! --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 06:51, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
-What's up with "Today's comic might be familiar to a few dozen of you. :)" at the top of the page? [[User:Solomon|Solomon]] ([[User talk:Solomon|talk]]) 05:24, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
-:I think that's just hardcoded (or otherwise over-riding the "current header" of xkcd.com), perhaps for reasons that made sense back in 2011. Without checking anything like the Wayback Machine I am ''presuming'' it's been stuck as that since 2011. Or whenever the later comic ("today's") was that Randall thought to point casual viewers at from this one.
-:But, either way, it was clearly forgotten about, and the note still says "today" [i]and[/i] links to the (unrelated?) Blag post of about the time of this comic (which is why I don't think it was set that way much later), apparently forgotten.
-:Needs more looking into, if the circumstances are not already recorded elsewhere, but definitely a curiosity, or perhaps a glitch in Randall's custom-CMS. [[Special:Contributions/172.70.85.156|172.70.85.156]] 06:14, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
