Or it's an act.

She gets badly hung over. I doubt it's an act. I figure it must be a deliberate part of her "act as human as possible under normal circumstances" golem programming.

Is that the guy from Fine Young Cannibals? Because that song is the FIRST thing I thought of when I saw the page's title.

I also want to do a heavy metal cover of it, just because it'd be funny.

The same, Alkari... I hadn't heard the Muppets version before this evening.

Bud did it well, too. Unfortunately her version isn't on YouTube yet.

How does a hollow clay golem get so thoroughly snockered?

Let's not forget who taught the Aztecs how to make tequila...

Oh, and this...

The streak at the top is grey/silver/white hair.

It's near her temples.

I found a better one: the link you provided (which was the first video that comes up on the YouTube search for that song being sung by the Muppets), stretches things sideways to make it into a widescreen version. This video keeps the old "full screen" (i.e. 4:3, cathode ray tube monitor) size/ratio, and has slightly better sound quality, too.

Compare the two at the same time marks, to see the difference:

Widescreen -- Full Screen
Widescreen -- Full Screen


Either way, I had seen that video when looking for a good link, but since the first time I had heard the song, it was the version with Lily Tomlin at the beginning, I preferred to link a video that contained that version.

On a totally unrelated note: they get cell phone reception in the LIbrary???
(That is, assuming Nudge is in the Library, seeing as it's sort of a home base, for her...)

The Doctor gets cell phone reception in the TARDIS from five billion years and trillions of light years away...

Well, the library is the repository for all written things . . . and many things now are written only in electronic form . . . so the library will require electronic access, so cell service is a likely thing.

Annie has a grey splotch just like that

So, given the previous week's artillery antics, Castela really ought to be qualified!

Sting operations don't generally take it quite as far as that did, though. This would be like the police setting up a sting where they let the guy buy the illegal guns, go out, and actually start opening fire before they then move in to arrest him.

I was actually listening to that album when I read the comic. Different song at the precise moment, though.

They can also enjoy food and have functional erogenous zones. From what I've gathered, Maya came up with the techniques for making golems and then the priests stole her idea. My guess, then, is that Maya wanted golems to be as lifelike as possible and to be able to experience things much the same way as humans do. When the priests took her ideas and decided to make an ultimate weapon, they simply copied her technique over wholesale; they likely didn't understand the actual details of the process, and so didn't change any of them.

As to why Maya wanted to make golems that could feel like humans, I dunno. Perhaps as a way to preserve herself, or her loved ones?

illiad wrote:so HOW can hair be BLACK, with grey *in the middle* ??

I've seen it that way more than a few times on people, though I can't think of anybody I can name who anybody here would likely know. My own hair hasn't done it; I've just had white hairs scattered all over through my darker hair since I was a youngster.

How else would Nudge order her anchovy pizzas?

Hey I would love to live in a *magical* world like wapsiverse...

Cell reception is perfect, always...
a lot of things are much simpler..

But, you might actually be in Hell.

Cell reception is also perfect there.

But, the only person you can reach is Ernestine.

a lot of things are much simpler.. BUT you KNOW this is wapsiverse, you are standing outside Tina's coffee shop, and can see those lovely girls inside!!!

BUT the you look in a mirror, and realise you are in Black and White!!

Your lovely shiny auburn hair is just black!!
As you move your head, the 'shiny' part is just *white*! :O
You check- yes, as you move your head, the 'white' part moves, due to reflection from the lights... :/

just think, living in a 'flat' 'black and white' world, no color, only rarely some grey!....

At least Monica is there, with her Sunshine to cheer you up

I'm gonna take a W.A.G. and say that it was so that SHE could still feel those things afterwards, when she convinced the Priesthood to make her into a Golem in the first place... all so that they would not be able to stop her when she stole The Calendar Machine and try to destroy it... since SHE made the formula in the first place, and the Priests couldn't change the formula in order to get a Golem that was under their control, and still get a viable monster, because the resulting Golem still had free will as the person involved had BEFORE Golemization... so... they had to use the old fashioned method to gain psychological control of the people BEFORE they got turned into Golems ie, torture... therefore they SHOULD have had total control over the Chimera... IF it weren't for Jin...

All she wanted to do was help her daughter.

That is the beginning line of ANY novel that I'd ever undertake to write about the whole Calendar Machine storyline.

*ahem*

Sounds like a mighty fine pet project, fellow author.

Hey, didn't you write a novel adaptation of Lost Dolls?

Yes I did, and I had wanted to use that very line as the first line of the Novelization's Prologue - but it would have gotten WAY too wordy.
