Two people are sitting somewhat in the dark. The older one is pointing a flashlight up at his face.
Uncle Rob: But they never found Time Ghost's head!
Kid: Lame story, Uncle Rob.
Uncle Rob: And you could do scarier?
Kid: Sure.
Rob has turned his flashlight off.
Uncle Rob: Try me.
Kid: The xkcdsw chridd made that said, "'Scary' was published before I was born, yet I'm old enough to have this conversation with you." was published before I was born, yet I'm old enough to have this conversation with you.
Rob has dropped the flashlight.
Rob is huddled up in fear.
Title text: 2001, September 11 happened. 8 years later, 2009, xkcd posted "Scary". 8 years later, 2017, I made my edit, "Meta-Scary". It is now 2025, 8 years later again. People born after a comic about feeling old are now driving.
