    Haha, yeez.

  2. Seamus says:

    You should add the mouse over text in.

  3. Drewsome says:

    I can’t find this comic on XKCD with the search feature…

  4. Drewsome says:

    Nevermind, it’s named Bug and it’s #376 from Friday and there is no more to it anyway. But I give their search function a FAIL which I have submitted! :-)

  5. Jason Penney says:

    There is more. :)

    Every XKCD has a “bonus gag” in the “title” tag for the image. This one should say “The universe started in 1970. Anyone claiming to be over 38 is lying about their age.” when you hover over the image.

    Oh, GOD… XKCD… <3… EPOCH FAIL… *explodes into a puddle of fanboy*

  7. Anonymous says:

    unh. duh. FOTOSHOP!

  8. ENG says:

    AAAHHH!!! PHOTOSHOP!!!

  9. Hat says:

    Yeah, the reflections are all wrong.

  10. dckx says:

    LOL @ Hat.

    Beautifully done.

    XKCD ftw.

  11. Kate the Great says:

    xkcd Represent!

  12. Emma says:

    Xkcd fails. Hard.

  13. Rikev says:

    I only know what an epoch is because I played Empire Earth 2. Awesome joke, though.

  14. This is a Unix in-joke. The Unix C function for the present wall clock time returns seconds since something like Dec 31 1970, or something. This is the Unix epoch. You could conceivably write a program which screws up like this, if you suck enough. Fail. Epoch Fail.

  15. mr t says:

    FIRST

  16. neodox says:

    face smack

  17. MrGola says:

    This is funny because in programming languages the date variables are just and integer which is the number of milliseconds since January 1st, 1970…. Newbs….

  18. KB! says:

    more like epoch win!!! (it was a play on words… 1970 is a period in time… an epoch?? so instead of saying “epic”… ugh do I really have to type it out this much?? you get it right?? RIGHT?? why is this comic here!? I love XKCD… it’s smarter than however posted this here as a “fail” and not as a “win”…).

    heads with no eyes, says a lot about the cartoonist…FAIL
