      <description><![CDATA[There were many tools posted in the XKCD forum to help the searchers. So far, this link combined with a bit of JavaScript to make the image full screen is most useful to me. The site owner http://www.twitter.com/rossdargan haz orsum leet kod-skilz and deserves a dollar or two.

http://clickanddrag.azurewebsites.net/

Even without the script, most browsers can use F11 for full screen and NumberPad/Plus (or Control/Plus) for size changing.

It may be dumb to assume that all XKCD followers know about the site explainxkcd.com.

[i]Thinks: While everybody is tied up here, I'll nip out to the TreeHouse and hog all the pies.  Mmmmm, Pies.[/i]

Warning: there are cheating possibilities, people have implemented ways to explore that world more easily, but the best way to enjoy this comic is to play the game, explore the comic's world the way you're supposed to, get lost in the caves or in the sky, be startled by unexpected things or happy when finding some people after lengthy click-and-dragging through a repetitive landscape... So if you didn't do that already, reading any below will spoil you from truly enjoying the comic.]]></description>

MC, thanks for posting the link to the zoom-able map--I really wanted to see if there was anything high in the sky or deep in the sea, but I searched and searched and couldn't tell if I was making any progress.

Don't go here if you feel that to journey in hope and wonder is better than arriving.

Here's a quote from the XKCD forum.

[quote]EoinC wrote:
Bit of a negative thought

Has it dawned on anyone that this might be Randall's last (or second last) XKCD?

It's comic 1110; and comic 1111 would be a pretty nice nerdy-number to go out on.
there are 4 images in there (quoted below) which are completely blank 
the right most edge of the comic is a ref to the very first comic and the balloon floating guy seems to be looking for other adventures
and it does feel a bit like an artists Magnum Opus

Once I realized just how huge this was (about 1/8 of the way down the Super Mario Bros. warp zone pipe), I immediately thought of the final Calvin &amp; Hobbes strip: &quot;let's go exploring!&quot;

And now all I can think about is whether or not XKCD is ending.

      <description><![CDATA[I like all of the Savoy operas and I think their quality is undervalued, but I don't find &quot;Where the Night Wind Howls&quot; anything like an earworm at all.

Still, each to his own &quot;Dead of the Night's High-noon.&quot;

As I wrote this, I mentally ran through a huge number of G &amp; S numbers looking for a larger, longer lingering lyric in the lughole than that. Not wise, earworm-wise.

As it is sung in high tenor (low frequency bat range) and me being an essentially tone deaf rumbler I make no attempt at protraying this piece of music.  I do like hearing it in all its glory, though.  I recommend it to anyone who likes good singing.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[OB,

How does the tune of: 'Today is the hottest day we've had all this year.' go?


I am being afflicted by the Ray Noble song: 'The very thought of you'.

When this attacks me it makes me forget all those ordinary things that everyone ought to do.  I'm in a kind of daydream, I'm happy as a king 
And foolish though it may seem 
To me that's everything.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[i used to get worried about &quot;Road Up&quot; signs, but I usaually laughed at 'Men Working'signs when one saw several men standing around one worker who was in a pose of excavating dirt form a hole.


I still remember that in about 1980 someone painted &quot;Jesus saves' on the side of the flyover where the Richmond road crossed the west road that becomes the M4.  It was 30 - 40 feet above the carriageway.  A few days later somone had added 'but Moses invests']]></description>
