My XKCD Substitutions
Description from store

Having been a big fan of XKCD for as long as I can remember, and as I am interested in programming I thought I would give creating my first Chrome Extension a go by creating a simple word substituter.

All of the word suggestions come from the following three XKCD cartoons.

http://xkcd.com/1288/
http://xkcd.com/1625/
http://xkcd.com/1679/

All credit for these hilarious word substitutions goes to XKCD.

This is a very pale imitation of the fantastic app by alec.posney check out it out here https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/xkcd-substitutions/jkgogmboalmaijfgfhfepckdgjeopfhk
