Hello, and welcome to ``Let's analyse Munroe's Jokes!!''.
Let's look at the panels left to right, up to down.
The first panel depicts two figures mounting a computer (And Asus Eee PC) in a hamster ball; humour comes from the fact that they are both adult, but, surprise!, they are amused by a hamster ball! How quaint.
The second panel utilises a typical Munroe motif, the acronyms. We are informed that TCO, the total cost of ownership, of a cat is approximately one thousand dollars a year.
The third panel is another attempt at achieving an amusing effect: One figure states that he has already written AI scripts for obstacle avoidance and blogging. Note that the Author compares the importance of blogging with that of avoiding obstacles. Humorous.
The fourth panel shows the already functional robot, "making friends: with an automatic vacuum cleaner. Notice the onomatopoeias that imitate mechanical noises.

I'm mailing it to Randall. In fact, I am mailing the entire thread to him, using vm-mode.

This is not just the FIOC. It's the LAMEST. THING. EVER.
I can't wait to see what language he obsesses over after FIOC.
First it was Perl, then Lisp, now its FIOC. I think next it'll be Ruby, because he'd see through the lies of Visual Basic and would never be able to grasp Haskell.

I'm the real Chris de Burgh. I do indeed have chrislaptop and chrisdesktop, but that screenshot is not mine. I don't read xkcd nor do I have a stupid-looking dark theme: http://www.imageput.com/hosted/33198screenshot.png

I may be a mature adult, but that doesn't stop me finding fun in applying technical expertise to juvenile toys! I can combine making serious economic observations to trivial things and inserting acronyms in one go. I need more cultural references! BLOGGING! WIKIPEDIA? GOOGLE! If I continue to appear immature someone will laugh, right? Making sounds and taking interest in “cute” things appeals to my female demographic. We're so childish! Saying something is awesome is funny, and awesome! Python is really simple, you can import libraries with one line of code. My friends recognise this simplicity with passivity and acceptance. You should too.
