OK so heres the thing  A bunch of trolls got upset because someone added a cartoon reference to the wood article and well this is a wood article not a cartoon article  Thats mildly valid  Well its not a sculpture article either yet theres a sculpture on the first paragraph  Thats allowed because wood is used in the sculpture  Well wood is used in that comic now and thats every bit as real  The only difference is some boring person came upon the duck sculpture by accident and the XKCD reference brought itself into relevance on its own  If anything this makes the XKCD reference more relevant not less than a sculpture of two birds  The only difference is that youre jealous you didnt think of it yourself first  Reality is reality because it is real not because it stays in a Wikipedia article without being censored  XKCD is real  Wikipedia generates content but how narcissistic would one have to be to think Wikipedia is the only place that can  Wikipedia exists to accurately document the world  XKCD is a part of that certainly more important and interesting than wood  XKCD is popular culture and anything less than an acknowledgment of that would be a direct offense to its author Randal Munroe and his truly inspiring gift to this Earth  You should think first before brushing off something so grand  If wood wasnt in popular culture yet is sure as heck is now and you have the Wikicensors to thank for that
