Hidden Caption (if you hold mouse over any xkcd comic you get a "secret" message in image alt text):
"We live in a world where there are actual fleets of robot assassins patrolling the skies. At some point there, we left the present and entered the future."

It is an older comic from one of my favorite web comics. Not sure how I missed it.

4. And "Three Days of the Condor" would be "Three Minutes of the Condor"..
