Died in a blogging accident

This research, while fascinating, seems like it would become invalid at the first derivative. I immediately wondered what the result for “elevator surfing” would be…

(As usual with XKCD, make sure you mouse over to read the “alt” text. And it appears that “I haven’t died in a knitting accident” has already become the hip shorthand for “sorry I haven’t written”.)

We are, indeed, bad people. But it’s very funny.

According to Gawker, this guy died from blogging, and the Gawker poster might be next to go. It’s not exactly “died in a blogging accident” but it’s pretty close…

And they posted it a few days before the XKCD strip, so maybe that was part of his inspiration?
