  1. Luke says:

    Warning! Infinite Loop: Do not trip while running down the up escalater.

  2. Alan says:

    http://xkcd.com/252/ – Kind of a ripoff, no?

  3. Dr. says:

    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?

  4. Diane says:

    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!

  5. Spike says:

    I believe you find the actual trend closer to the expected trend in females.

  6. bounge says:

    does it really matter that it was ripped off? 1) it’s not that funny anyway. 2) xkcd sucks in the first place.

  7. RenaissanceGrrl says:

    O_O XKCD is the best. Comic. EVER.

  8. bounge says:

    Please disregard my previous post. I Am a moron.

  9. Nik says:

    Does anyone else think Munroe’s hand-drawn graphs would be funnier if created by some elaborate python code?

  10. dmitri says:

    No, not really.

    While realistic, I didn’t find this very funny.

  11. tylor says:

    xkcd > this

  12. David says:

    “Inspired by XKCD” or completely stolen from XKCD. There’s a difference, and this is well into the area of plagiarism.

  13. Geoff says:

    I wholeheartedly agree – the only substantive differences are the “fancier” formatting and the lack of the stick figure actually performing said action.

  14. The L says:

    “Users say this may have been inspired by XKCD.”

    Try copied almost exactly. Only the stick figures are missing.
