Does anyone know whether this was real or photoshopped?

Either way, it's awesome:

Well, Randall Munroe is the XKCD guy, so... there's a good chance it's real. :P

[chalavienne]

already knew that, lol. just didn't know if somebody had faked his name there or if he'd really written that check.

This is in reference to the whole "Verizon math" debacle, which is linked to from the above (as Randall says... only listen to it if you want to throw things).

heeheehee. i've read a transcript. verizon sucks like that...i was asking about international calling before i came over to thailand and they had no idea what i was asking or what i was talking about. either that or they were being purposefully shifty so they could charge me a shitload. either way, i don't trust them with a calculator.

Haha, and speaking of xkcd and Verizon, check out today's tooltip: "And 0.002 dollars will NEVER equal 0.002 cents." :D

Actually that check is written for .002 dollars. It's not e^2pi, it's e^ipi, which is -1.

So I would say the check itself is a win, but that image there is a fail.

ha, that's actually even funnier. i didn't bother to do the math - I leave that to you shilly math majors.
