This comic might as well have been called "List of eight-syllable phrases.". Sure, Randy probably trimmed the ones with less common words, but let's not kid ourselves, that's all today's XKCD is. Well, here's another eight-syllable phrase: XKCD Isn't Funny.
I don't usually do preemptive rebuttals, I find them presumptuous and kinda dickish, but in this case I will. On the off chance that anyone is going to argue that this is an informational comic: No. That is wrong. Say what you will about the informational comics in the past (I know I have) but they actually had information in them. This is literally the alt-text of #788, spread out into six hundred and five thousand and thirty one hideous pixels (number seven hundred twenty three is the ugliest, of course).
Fun fact: If you take a song, and get a text with the same number of syllables as that song, you can sing that text to the tune of that song. This works for anything, and most of us learned it in first grade, when we realized that "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and the ABC song had the same melody.
