Easy thing to over look, I think. I’ve done it a bit myself. :3

I noticed some people didn’t get it, it’s more than just a reference. I believe we need to open some less fortunate people’s eyes to the humour that they’ve been missing. And humour is spelled correctly, I am Canadian and we put the u in humour.

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.

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.
