The pointers gag is to be found at https://xkcd.com/138/, one of the many excellent creations of Randall Munroe. There is a companion site which can illuminate: http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/138

Thanks did not know about the 'Explain' site :)
Helps me understand some of the maths ones which go over my head, :)

EDIT:
Just visited the 'Explain' site !!!
Very weird, the debates about the meanings are sometimes Bonkers, sometimes just plain wrong.
Very entertaining for a completely different set of reasons to what I would have expected.!!Sent from my Samsung SM-P900 via Tapatalk (Typos & Bad formatting are free)
