Hmmm, the Japanese cleans the stadium, and I guess that the French sprayed the stadium with eau de cologne afterwards

But...the book isn't out till september, (as Randal has been saying for weeks http://blog.xkcd.com/2014/03/12/what-if-i-wrote-a-book/[^]
And it's got new stuff, and undated / revised versions of the web material.

yeah, but ARCs are put out a few months before the protection copy of the book is available. Think of them as (cheaply) printed betas. They're produced so that reviewers can have their reviews written and in print publications when the book first becomes available, so that marketing people can give them to book buyers to try to convince them to stock more copies of the title, and occasionally as promotional handouts.
Depending on the volume they're produced in getting one isn't necessarily that hard. I've got at least one on my book shelves (IIRC 2 but I'm not certain about the 2nd).
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A Spanish captain was walking on his ship when a soldier rushes to him and exclaims, "An enemy ship is approaching us!"
The captain replies calmly, "Go get my red shirt."
The soldier gets the shirt for the captain. The enemy ship comes in and heavy rounds of fire are exchanged.
Finally, the Spaniards win. The soldier asks, "Congrats sir, but why the red shirt?"
The captain replies, "If I got injured, my blood shouldn't be seen, as I didn't want my men to lose hope."
Just then, another soldier runs up and says, "Sir, we just spotted another twenty enemy ships!"
The captain calmly replies, "Go bring my yellow pants."

Are you sure? I totally thought he had made it up. 
Actually, I'm pretty sure there is no such thing as an original joke anymore. They have all been told.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
