Maybe she needs them...orthopedic slippers or something...Opus the Poet wrote:What I found interesting was the only one wearing shoes was the thorny girl, Atsali and Katherine are both barefoot.
It's an EverQuest Comic board, so my toons were such, and folks liked the random comment so much I made it into a quote sig.as363 wrote:Whereas mine is a Paladin with a Tree Elf mother and a Sorcerer father . Sure gits confuzalating at times..but I think that's true for all mixed breeds.
If they would only come to the Confusion Couch, or another suitable Escherian dimension, they could find paper suitable for drawing the full family tree....Dave wrote:They're all cowering in the corner already. Shelly's to blame.eee wrote:Oh yes, and it's going to be interesting to see how Lily fits into this family. She is 1/6th Kath's mother, after all. This is going to be a family tree to make genealogists scream in terror!
"Human, half Anglo and half Comanche, with some recombined ancient sphinx genes from the Neolithic era" was hard enough for them to swallow, but at least the weird ancestry was from long-ago.
Then, it turned out that she's a Nouveau Strange stewpot: 1/4 human, 1/4 sphinx, and 1/2 Mighty Morphing pseudo-Comanche Titan! They went into shock. Called off the annual convention entirely, as I recall, since too many of the presenters had to retract their papers at the last minute.
And now they have worse to consider. Shelly's now an item wirh Justin/Epimetheus. If they have kids... well, both the genealogists and the geneticists are likely to be begging Brandi to open an exit in the World Grid so they can emigrate to a less confusing dimension.

Does that mean that the thorny girl is likely to be good at higher math calculations? I mean, she can do several roots almost without thinking.kingklash wrote:Shoes probably keep her from rooting into the ground unintentionally.Julie wrote:Maybe she needs them...orthopedic slippers or something...Opus the Poet wrote:What I found interesting was the only one wearing shoes was the thorny girl, Atsali and Katherine are both barefoot.

I would't trust what Bia said then (or ever) as at that point she was still lying to Shelly about supposedly being an ancestor a few generations removed instead of her mother.ActionKermit wrote:Didn't Bia say that the 1/4th human part of Shelly was removed? The impression I got was that anything human about Shelly died of severe radiation poisoning as a result of handling the plutonium sample that was contained in the tree. The sphinx part of her wasn't killed because it couldn't be harmed in the forest, and the radiation probably just flowed off of her Titan side like water off a duck's feathers. If I'm right about that, it'd make Shelly 1/3rd sphinx and 2/3rds titan, which is plenty confusing enough enough for the poor genealogists who aren't used to working with fractions that aren't powers of two.
Actually, i'd be willing to bet that she was telling the truth - just not all of the truth - i.e., she is Shelly's great-...-great-grandmother.shadowinthelight wrote:I would't trust what Bia said then (or ever) as at that point she was still lying to Shelly about supposedly being an ancestor a few generations removed instead of her mother.
The number of "greats" indicated by that ellipsis is sufficient that Shelly is about equally as much related to Charlemagne, Great-great-...-great-Uncle Vlad or Ethelred the Unready as she is to Bia through that line.jwhouk wrote:When you live as long as you do, sometimes you like your offspring's grandchildren a bit too much.

And her mother.

"My mother!" *SLAP*
"My great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother!" *SLAP*
"Mother!" *SLAP*
"Great-great-gr--" *SLAPSLAPSLAP*
Those statistics assume both sides of the family are human. Shelly is only ΒΌ human, so add 2 more greats.Fairportfan wrote:The number of "greats" indicated by that ellipsis is sufficient that Shelly is about equally as much related to Charlemagne, Great-great-...-great-Uncle Vlad or Ethelred the Unready as she is to Bia through that line.jwhouk wrote:When you live as long as you do, sometimes you like your offspring's grandchildren a bit too much.
