whoever came up with that one is brilliant

2. Proper attribution and link

The "whoever" who came up with it is Randall Munroe, who does the brilliant webcomic xkcd. You can see all 1,000+ of the xkcd cartoons at xkcd.com. He grants permission to reprint his work freely to noncommercial uses like DU, with only one request: "Just be sure to attribute the comic to xkcd.com." This is perfectly reasonable and should be honored.

The permanent link for this "Orion Nebula" comic is http://xkcd.com/1020/.

Each comic contains additional mouseover text. For this one it's "Also on the agenda: What's up with his hips?"

3. Who carries their scabbard in that fashion?

Wouldn't it get caught between the legs whilst running? The default is to carry the thing at one's side--probably to avoid tripping over it, or accidentally slicing off an appendage.

I think it's a dong, too!

5. It's a sporran

Orion is a True Scotsman, I tell 'ee!
