Relatedly, one of the times in my life where I've felt coolest was at the @xkcd.com How To book tour in 2019. I brought this comic to get it signed and told him I picked it because I was a seismologist. He started asking me about how to search earthquake catalogs in more detail! xkcd.com/723/

The quotes on that page are links to the sources. Some of the links are broken now, but a lot of them give a year.
