xkcdexplained:

Upon completion of detailed character timelines for three of the most well known geek movies (Asperger syndrome), the author realized that a humorous punch-line was necessary in order to publish these charts as a comic strip. The punch-line comes visually in the form of two more charts appended to the three originals. These extra charts, both much less detailed than the first few, create a humorous and instantly visible contrast when juxtaposed with the fairly complex ones. The joke being told here is that Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and Jurassic Park have plots involving many characters who travel between a multitude of locations, while 12 Angry Men has 12 characters who are confined to a single room and Primer’s characters travel through time in a notoriously complex manner. The author has once again gone to great lengths to turn a simple observation into a large comic involving multiple charts. This is how geeks masturbate.

The author of this explanation is probably right about everything, particularly the bit about Asperger’s syndrome. It is worth noting, however, that this is not actually how geeks masturbate. Geeks masturbate just like everyone else does, except that instead of Angelina Jolie they are imagining/looking at pictures of Arwen from Lord of the Rings and/or Princess Leia in the gold bikini. xkcdexplained: Upon completion of detailed character timelines for three of the most well known geek movies (Asperger syndrome), the author realized that a humorous punch-line was necessary in order to publish these charts as a comic strip.

The author of this explaination’s explaination makes a correction on the masturbation habits of geeks which assumes that all geeks are sexually interested in women, and fails to take into account the possibility of other geeks who would not masturbate to either Arwen, Leia or, for example, Kaylee.

The author of this explaination’s explaination’s explaination is aware that there comes a point where further recursion is not a good idea, but believes this point is far in the future.
