He practices, because he’s mentioned keeping kosher, but I don’t recall him wearing a yarmulke in his daily life when he was human. Plenty of observant Jews don’t.
in the “Nick as human” strips, he’s wearing a VR helmet at all times. Whether there was a yarmulke under the helmet is a question of how many processor cycles Anasigma was willing to devote to details that Nick would never see (for instance, that simulated Nick had no pancreas).
Well, many non-religious Jews choose to maintain some cherry-picked customs, including both the yarmulke and keeping kosher. When your religion, your culture and your ethnic identity are all overlapping Venn diagrams, it gets interesting.
WIth this, we can make a rough estimation of Cerebriacs storage space. If the average film about butts has a size of 200 Mb (Maybe some of them are short films about small butts, and others full-length DVDs about enormous butts (It was hard to avoid the temptation of writing …about your mother)), Cerebriac has a storage capacity of 300 Tb. Or at least that is how much Nick has access to. If we further assume that Nick does not ONLY have films about butts, we can up that estimate by maybe an order of magnitude to 3Pb.
Oh, also this shows that despite thinking of himself as a helicopter, Nick is still attracted to humans, not some sexy slim Apache. Or i guess that the amount of Helicopter porn available is greatly limited. Could be a case of discrimination actually, access to porn is a basic right after all.
Why, oh why, do I always see blankness instead of YouTube links? Have to inspect the page elements to find ’em…
Terrific song, though! I get a sort of Link Hogthrob Deliberately Noble vibe from it… like when the Pentagon names stuff.
My own claim to musical fame ended when my mother caught me singing my version of the Astroboy theme song… All I recall involves writing his name in the snow, and where his machine guns fired from…
“Astroboy, when you go, write your name in the snow…”
…Is that a yarmulke?
At least she seems to respect his religion, if not his self image.
Not for the first time, I question Panoptica’s priorities.
Not to mention those of the Avengers/Justice League, of which her department is an obvious parody.
Does he wear a yarmulke in helicopter mode? How would we even be able to tell?
He has a mezuzah up on his door.
(Seriously.)
… there’s a Black Ops Rabbi out there.
Huh.
I bet she looked up his parents in his file and gave it to him without bothering to find out if he was actually practicing or not.

I was hoping it was his data port, like they used to use before Wifi.
Only one and a half million? Seems a bit low for that sort of thing.
There’d be more, but Cerebriac ran out of hard drive space.

I would think Nick would focus on butts that resemble Virginia’s
Those are just the ones recorded in the past week.
NICK’S GOT A KIPPAH!
You asked for it … I originally sent this to Shaenon back in December of 2008. She even used it for a Sunday filler.
http://youtu.be/19uxfmXRx80
That’s great! I never saw it when it was used on a Sunday.
FANTASTIC!
I was singing along out loud by 1/3rd of the way through. How can Nick resist?!
And there we have Nick’s real value to the team: His action figure is selling better. ^_^
Now I have to figure out if I want more of my acquaintances to read this comic because of this tune.
Wow. That brought a tear to my eye….
(slow clap)
It is an honor to be in the presence of a master.
(heel click)
(formal bow from waist)
Oh, that’s perfect. And dare I say, catchy too?
I keep trying to sing along but “extr’ordinarily” keeps slipping me up. I get caught a syllable behind.
1.3 million of those films are due to Jeph Jacques and David Willis.
Because it’s obligatory: Damn You, Willis!
(and now I want to see Pintsize with a profanity filter. I bet it’d be hilarious to see BOLTS disease run though that.)
Pintsize with a profanity filter like Nick’s? That would be _disking_ hilarious!
Damn Willis.

Didn’t know Astroboy could do that…
Panel Two gets to the core of Nick’s problem.
Wait, the humanity snobs have a supercomputer? I bet it doesn’t count as a full member!
I’m imagining that Cerebriac is a superhero with a brain that can be used as a supercomputer. Don’t ask me how it works.
The X-men have Cerebro, Superman used to have Brainiac before it went flaky on him (IIRC). I see no reason why AG-I can’t have Cerebr-iac.
Superman’s super-computer really ought to be called the Super Computer
Well, he omitted the ‘Best of’ compilations.
Well, if he’s storing porn of humans, I can kinda understand why she’s confused that he self-identifies as a helicopter.
But then, that’s just prejudice against cross-species love. If a cyborg helicopter can be called a “species”…
He likes filmed butts and he cannot lie.
Sir Mix-a-lot was ahead of his time 😛
Eddurd/b>: you need to come up with a tune for Archon over in “Grrl Power” 😀
The question is how is there ONLY 1.5 million such files?
Nick likes big butts, but he cannot swear.
