…or in fact, anyone who knows anyone who’s going to be in the USA this coming weekend – specifically Boston.

First of all read this edition of that fantastic webcomic, XKCD.

Right – as I posted a while back, the numbers featured in the panel of that comic do indeed correlate to an exact geographical location and an exact time. The first two numbers are longitude and latitude, and they correspond to a street corner in the Somerville district of Boston – the corner of Dudley Street and Cedar Street to be exact.

The other numbers are 2007 09 23 14 38 00, which obviously translates to 2.38pm exactly on 23rd September, 2007 – which is this coming Sunday.

I personally cannot afford to fly to the USA this weekend to see what happens, but please – if anyone reading this is going to be in the area, or knows anyone who is, then please please please go there at the appointed time and report back to me on what happens and/or who is there.

For the record, the writer of XKCD is Randall Monroe and he looks like this:

If he’s there, tell him “Hi” from me.

OK, here it is. Here’s the great idea I’ve been humping on about for ages now. But first, let me tell you how it came to be.

It was a Sunday afternoon, and I was at home watching Poirot on the tebly-box. He was doing the usual, using the little grey cells, making Hastings look like a cock, all the usual that you expect from the diminutive Belgian. Oh, and by the way, David Suchet is Poirot. There can be no other. Don’t even come round here with your Peter Ustinov bollocks, or I’ll kick your face off. Albert Finney? Fuck off, more like.
