Coordinates

I wonder how many people are going to be in Rev. Williams Park in Boston, in the middle of the afternoon on September 23rd, all because of this comic.

(note to self: don’t comment on something if it’s out of focus)

    I saw that comic and was in the middle of finding where the coordinates lead when your blog entry appeared in my RSS reader. Thanks for saving me the trouble.

    Actually, I was planning on going to Boston 😉

    Oops. That makes a lot more sense. It’s amazing how similar a 9 is to a 1 😉

    The post has been updated to reflect the new information.

    np. Since I’m nitpicking, isn’t 14:38 two in the afternoon, and not in the middle of the night, or are we assuming that the time is in UTC?

    Arg! You’re right. This is why it’s a bad idea to post late at night without glasses or contacts.

    It appears that the comic was revised. The story on Reddit about this comic also refers to the “middle of the night.”

    a likely story 😉

    XKCD readers seem like the type that would meet in the middle of the afternoon because of some numbers in the comic…
