More geeky than c:/Spot/Run

I'll have a full post up soon but until then there is a great "cartoon-off" between the New Yorker and Randall Munroe of XKCD which includes this picture:

If I say that most geeks wouldn't get the joke you might get the idea of how geeky this is, but I laughed lots. The joke relies on a property of higher dimensions and string theory, although the New Yorker was also right about String theory...

In case anyone is wondering, the joke I mention in the title goes:
c:/
c:/Spot
c:/Spot/Run
Run/Spot/Run

I'll soon have photos of what I've been up to the last couple of weeks, it's been brilliant!

    Yeah, hyperbondage wouldn't work so well, but if you could travel through higher dimensions, you could REALLY touch places of someone that no-one else has.

    Though I'm not sure if that thought is really great, or really disgusting.
