Disaster Voyeurism
I’ve been reading xkcd for about a year, but only today did I notice that the image file for each strip has a tooltip, a field of text in the HTML code that becomes visible on mouse rollover. I’m glad I found them, and wish I’d found them earlier, as they add a lot to the strips. This, for example, is the caption for the latest, #611:
Hurricane forums are full of excited comments about central pressure and wind speed and comparisons to Camille and 1931 and 1938, with hastily-tacked-on notes about how it will be tragic if anyone dies and they hope it’s a dud.
Here is the strip itself:

Wonderful.
