For those of you who are fans of the webcomic xkcd, read on. You'll like this post, guaranteed.

Some of you may know that my brother,

lopaanre is the president of the SFS at WPI (i.e. he's head nerd). And

lopaanre got Randall Munroe to come speak at WPI about his webcomic, xkcd.

I was smart and brought a camera. And then

lopaanre needed a camera, so I lent him mine. Thus, I got pictures of the event without having to put any effort into it. They aren't perfect, but there are a bunch of good ones in there.

And afterwards,

lopaanre said that I could print out a comic and he'd get it signed for me. So I'm going to have a little contest- if anyone can guess which comic I printed for Randall to sign, you can have one of my authentic xkcd red spiders. (Well, authentic inasmuch as

lopaanre's craftsmanship counts as "authentic" xkcd merchandise. He and his friends made like a hundred of them and threw them out into the audience. So I kept a few.) And

lopaanre is disqualified, but I don't think he'll mind, since he made all of the spiders. Why would he need more?

*edit* 3 hints:

It's not the Cat Proximity comic, since that was used for the facebook invite already.
It's not the one I posted below.
It's not any of the spider ones.

There are a lot of pictures and they might take a while to upload, so I'll put the album in my next post so I can post this now.

And in the meantime, this comic was really amusing:
