Warning! Infinite Loop: Do not trip while running down the up escalater.
http://xkcd.com/252/ – Kind of a ripoff, no?
Nice blatant ripoff

I’m trying to wonder where my comment(TPS Report) went…I was the first to attest to this thievery, apparently I wasn’t believed?
We were at Ikea on friday and about to walk down the up escalator when we noticed two children struggling their way up! I’ve not seen kids doing this for such a long time! We stood and watched their failing attempt for a few moments. I wasn’t tempted to do it myself as I reckon I’d have been a lot more out of breath than they were!
I believe you find the actual trend closer to the expected trend in females.
does it really matter that it was ripped off? 1) it’s not that funny anyway. 2) xkcd sucks in the first place.
O_O XKCD is the best. Comic. EVER.
Yes.
Please disregard my previous post. I Am a moron.
Does anyone else think Munroe’s hand-drawn graphs would be funnier if created by some elaborate python code?
No, not really.
While realistic, I didn’t find this very funny.
xkcd > this
“Inspired by XKCD” or completely stolen from XKCD. There’s a difference, and this is well into the area of plagiarism.
I wholeheartedly agree – the only substantive differences are the “fancier” formatting and the lack of the stick figure actually performing said action.
“Users say this may have been inspired by XKCD.”
Try copied almost exactly. Only the stick figures are missing.
