(11,175 posts)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?"

I think it's a dong, too!
