Randall Munroe:
I’m just this guy, you know? I’m a CNU graduate with a degree in physics. Before starting xkcd, I worked on robots at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Virginia. As of June 2007 I live in Massachusetts. In my spare time I climb things, open strange doors, and go to goth clubs dressed as a frat guy so I can stand around and look terribly uncomfortable. At frat parties I do the same thing, but the other way around.

Starring Harry Enfield. I always thought that an actor friend of mine, Tom Cocklin, would have been perfect for the role. Sadly he’s no longer with us. But I think he would have agreed.
