what the fuck happened here

@mjdxp In one of the xkcd IRC rooms, someone once announced that they had gone into labor by typing "brb, childbirth"

On the xkcdb quote site, the editor added a note revealing the baby's name and birth weight. Sadly, Wayback Machine's records of the site are somewhat cursed, as you can see.

@mjdxp Update: I spent some time learning some basic Python web scraping to see if I could build a posthumous archive of the site, using Wayback Machine APIs. Then I checked the actual site on a whim, and it was back up.

Anyway, here's the quote in question: http://www.xkcdb.com/6777

XKCDB: The #xkcd Quote Database

@mjdxp (If you go digging through that site, just know that it goes back to 2006-ish, so some of the early quotes contain language that those people probably would not use today.)
