In case you can't read the picture of my computer screen:
"When a grid's misaligned with another behind, that's a moire....When the spacing is tight and the difference is slight, that's a moire."

I've read xkcd for years and love it. My moment of mild paranoia about it though came when I read this one. This is because of my Reddit infamy for saying "astronomer here!" with fun astronomy facts, and knowing that Randall who writes it hangs out on Reddit, so I ended up thinking it was about me far more than I should have.

I'm not geeky enough so I had to Google moire. I had an idea why distortion patterns showed when photographing a TV but didn't know the term was moire patterns.

I see your name on half of the articles that George Takei links to from Reddit.

It did sound a little like you Rommie. lol

There can never be enough violence in the defense. lol

Yeah, that's a good one. You've posted that before on another Dr. Andromeda thread.

something biting your heel

And the last word (eel) is understood but not pronounced (gotta maintain the rhyme scheme)

When you rip out your zits,
With a Breathe Right like strip,
That's Biore.

Hey, I thought that was kind of cute. Maybe you need a zit fighting teenager in the house for context.
