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.

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.
