It works for everything else, actually. An anvil isn't inherently funny, but its one specific use can be. Try whacking someone with a dead hooker. Might be funny. :P

example of this very thing: In the game Spelunky, their are woman you can rescue that will kiss you and give you extra health. These same women work in "kissing booth" brothels where they'll kiss you for a very hefty fee, essentially making them hookers.

You can kill these hookers and throw their dead bodies at monsters for lethal effect. It IS very funny.

Well, I find the idea of throwing the corpses of your enemies at your other enemies with lethal effect funny, but I find the idea of murdering an innocent person and then tossing their corpse at someone to lethal effect allot less funny.

The dead hookers aren't there in the xkcd comic to be funny, but to further show you that the girl he's talking about isn't nice by associating her with both murder and hookers.

Although this discussion has deviated slightly from the original use of the dead hookers.

Convicting politicians?

What about undead hookers? Which would be the cheaper of the three?
Just reminded me of that god awful movie that is out, Zombie Strippers.

Wait a sec. Undead zombies or Infected zombies? Undead would be necrophilia.

You know you're an xkcd fan when your first intinct uopon seeing one is to hover your mouse over it for a few seconds, even when it's posted somewhere else.

(Yes, I just did that)

    once upon a midnight dreary,
    while i pr0n surfed, weak and weary,
    over many a strange and spurious site of "hot sex slaves galore".

    While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark,
    Suddenly there came a warning,
    And my heart was filled with mourning,
    Mourning for my dear amour.

    "'Tis not possible!", I pleaded,
    But my browser, so conceited,
    Remained blank, I then repeated,
    Just a blank and nothing more.

    With a scream, I was defeated,
    For my cookies were deleted,
    So i begged, no longer seated,
    "Give me back my free hardcore!"

    Then, in answer to my query,
    Through the net I loved so dearly,
    Came its answer, dark and dreary:
    Quoth the server, "404"

Was that self written Cthulu? I can only quote the first verse of the Raven off the top of my head (it was worth two extra credit points in Accelerated English!).

I think I've seen that a couple times before, in a couple places.

I wish, that would make me some kind of internet deity.

Also, I can only get the first two verses as well,  I'm sure given enough time I could probably remember the third.
