XKCD Web Comic #970: The Important Field (described)

 

A web comic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language.

 

Panel One: A stick figure wearing a green military style hat sits at a computer. The figure clicks a mouse and the computer reads “Welcome to the missile launch web interface!”

Panel Two: Same scene. The computer reads “Enter the target’s coordinates.” and the figure types.

Panel Three: Same scene. The computer reads “Enter your email address for our records.” The figure types.

Panel Four: Same scene. The computer reads “Enter your email address again, to ensure you typed it correctly.” The figure stares at the screen.

Hover text: I hear in some places, you need one form of ID to buy a gun, but two to pay for it by check. It’s interesting who has what incentives to care about what mistakes.

Warning: this comic occasionally contains strong language (which may be unsuitable for children), unusual humor (which may be unsuitable for adults), and advanced mathematics (which may be unsuitable for liberal-arts majors).
