1896

Of all the things to feel smug about, knowing that medicines are made predominantly out of non-toxic filler to prevent them from killing you has to be among the dumbest.

I notice as well that the Lecture Series for Smart People Randall is giving in Britain credits XKCD with receiving over a billion hits per year (or 2.7 million per day). What's the provenance of that number? Surely they wouldn't be so unscientific and naive as to trust Randall's own estimates?
