Denizens
From XKCD Wiki
This is a list of denizens of #xkcd. Anyone can be added provided they are in #xkcd either frequently or memorably. Don't screw up anyone else's stuff, and if you provide too little actual info your entry may be removed. [citation needed]
You may also want to add yourself to the Frappr map. The deprecated denizens page can be found here.
If you add yourself to this list, please register your nick first! All images must be uploaded (see "upload file" to the left) to be used on this page (you cannot use an off-site image). Any questions can be directed to #xkcdwiki
If you add extra text to a narrow column (where you're supposed to just put a single char, number, or one-word link), and it makes that column unnecessarily wide, it will make the table too big for browser windows, and we will cut you. If you notice that someone's entry somewhere is making a column really wide, feel free to format it to be narrower.

| RK | Probably not Summer Glau or Ray Kurzweil. | i | Pitcairn | Bacon | 117 | "notch, groove, slit," 1483, nyke, of unknown origin, possibly infl. by M.Fr. niche "niche." The verb is first attested 1530. Sense of "to steal" is from 1869, probably from earlier slang sense of "to catch, take unawares, arrest" (1622). Nick of time is first attested 1643, possibly from an old custom of recording time as it passed by making notches on a tally stick, though the general sense of "critical moment" is older (1577) than the phrase.
