XKCD spoofed Cory Doctorow, dressing him up in this weird superhero costume. So Cory actually dressed up as such. XKCD wrote a comic about playing chess on roller coasters, just to get the pic when you come down the first big hill. So now there's a site with dozens of pictures of people playing chess on roller coasters.
XKCD has a fanatical and geeky following (full disclosure: I'm one of them).
