I volunteer as a tax preparer, and Illinois requires information off the driver’s license or state ID in order to process the return. One of these information items is the weight shown. That’s used to match with the information the state has, to control identity theft.
But it’s pretty obvious from comparing what’s on the license with what I see in front of me that the state makes little attempt to confirm the information given.

And one more that seems to involve a gnome … or something:
Speedrun
Mouseover text: “Usain Bolt holds the record in the 100 meter speedrun.”
TedD sends this in: “explainxkcd.com has the answer for this, but I’m curious how understood this comic without an explanation”
Not your editor, for sure!
A Fool and his Money
billr sends this in: “The guy at the top of the tower seems to be saluting. I got nothing here.”
Fish
Is it as simple as Sluggo not understanding, after all these decades fending for himself, how to attach a worm to a hook? Is Nancy scaring the fish?
May-I
Phred and Boise Ed sent this in: “I definitely didn’t get this until I read the comments on the page… Certainly fits the bill here.”
Poke
billr sends this in: “It obviously hinges on what a “Poke” is, and the only poke I know of is the Hawaiian street food.”
There’s this classic children’s book:
There’s also Gumby’s pal Pokey, but that’s probably not much help, either.
Speaking of Pokey, there’s this Bizarro from Sunday (LOL, not CIDU).

Polymarket is a prediction market — under current rules of the CFTC, technically not gambling so legal in all 50 states. It allows you to gamble (ahem, “predict” with $ at risk) on a wide variety of things. Here are some of the trending bets as I’m writing this (May 2, 2026). Note you can bet on whether Bitcoin (BTC) will go up or down in a 5 minute period. But that’s not gambling. Definitely not gambling.
Boise Ed sends this in: “So long as he considers it only a first draft and revises it as needed, why not take advantage? (I do appreciate Wayno’s irony, though.) And I like the name RevBot.”
