Well, Phix ripped Monica's face off, and was immediately (qualifies as "fast") furious with herself as well as in much anguish.

(Monica, being Monica, got over it.)

Can someone at least point out when the Calendar Machine storyline wrapped up so I can figure out where to start my archive trawl? Wait, you mean people don't always binge from beginning to end or is that just me? :D Well, there was one comic that in the first three weeks of reading it I binged fro...

The neat thing about pure science done right is that there is no failure. Either you get supporting evidence that you've figured something out, which is good - or you learn something new, which is even better.

Congratulations Atsali, you tried something and...it didn't work. :lol: Precisely as planned. How do you test the safety feature? Obviously you have to do something that would cause it to engage (whatever that may mean for the specific safety feature in question). Hopefully something that will be r...

Win8: Get things going so that a YouTube video is playing. Right-click on the speaker icon in the tray and select "Open Volume Mixer". Look at the individual applications and see if they are muted. Also check the volume sliders - if an app is not muted but its volume is reduced to zero, gu...

Any chance your computer has muted itself?

If you're going to do a lot of printing, then any time you need to replace the printer look seriously at laser printers. Aside from a couple of high-end office printers (prices over $500) that are advertised as being low cost per page, inkjets simply cannot compete on the cost of pigment per page. O...

Then there was the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine, quite a few years ago, with the following among its blurbs for articles to be found inside:

1. How to get the man you want

2. Get mess and stress out of your life

(Ladies, make up your minds!)

It only gets *really* desperate when they try to make tofu look like sausages or bacon... If you 'consciously object' to meat, WHY do you want a 'look alike' ??? I used to know a young woman who claimed that her SOLE reason for being vegetarian was because she didn't like the taste of meat. She had...

To approximately quote a character in one of Chris Stasheff's books, "Love at first second-sight, I can believe in."

My favorite was in USA Today many years ago. In a single column:

North seals

Iran-Contra

I have always thought there was something fishy about that...

Part of the 'problem' may be with the English word "love". Greek has four words that get translated as "love" in English. And it doesn't look to me like any of the four would be the obvious choice in translating the sentence "I love strawberries.". (This is of course a...

Yeah, Shadow beat me, but I was distracted by some hockey. ...What? Get your sicko minds out of the gutter! ;) That would be if you had said " baseball ". Anyways - an "incubus". Wonder if he was any relation to Drusilla. Shoulda given a link to Drusilla. And not in the middle o...

Don't forget, though, you can't always take those ancient myths too seriously...

Jeannie Bottle passed the first look-over and went on my list for a while; but it didn't stay.

It's also possible that the Siren-singing is something separate from normal singing, and a Siren can do either one. Of course, there's another webcomic I'm currently reading (may drop, I'm not enjoying it much) where the Siren effect is totally tied to *speech*. If she says anything whatsoever, ever...

Nadettte said: "Not all of me is in the now to be affected." Hmmm! Ditto to all the discussion above, but I don't think anybody keyed in on that line. Does Nadette have aspects of herself existing in the future (or past) as well? Future Nadette might be able to effect small changes that P...

Two of the latter, because she needs to wear one.

One day my parents put a sugar doughnut on a plate in front of me and asked who was stronger - me or the doughnut?

I bet the answer they wanted was NOT "I am, obviously - the doughnut can't pick me up and bite me."
