    “…and pray that there’s intelligent life somewhere out in space, ’cause it’s bugger all down here on Earth.”

      From one Calvin & Hobbes comic strip:

      “Sometimes I think the surest sign of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.”

      “I can’t help but feel that somewhere in the universe, there has to be something better than man. HAS to be!” –Taylor (Charlton Heston), Planet of the Apes (original 1960’s version)

    OK, I’ll say it first. There’s a “be” missing in the possum’s speech bubble in the last panel.

      That had me reading it over a few times trying to parse it in a way that the “be” wouldn’t be necessary. I failed.

        God there had better life on other planets.

        (Something must have happened to it, and now we are stuck with this one.)

        Apparently God is over there, and he had better life on other planets.

          God there had better life on other planets. Then he destroyed it. That’s why Enki decided to warn one of the mortals this time around.

      To be or not to be. OK I’ll leave now but it had to be done.

        …or to paraphrase Gertrude Stein; There is no be there.

          Does that mean that there really is no spoon?

    Typical government maneuver. Hiring a highly paid fashion specialist when all that has to be done is go downtown, view what the average Joe is wearing, and take your pick. Or just go to Walmart.

      Not Walmart!! A Thrift store in Ankh-Moorpork before a Walmart!!

        I like the Bazaar at Deva better, personally… and not just because of the sexy green-haired Trollop assassin, either!

      Walmart’s clientele is eclectic enough that it occasionally crosses over into the highly noticeable, like the guy I saw last month, a chap with a Mohawk-mullet, shirt open to show his bare chest, carrying what appeared to be a live duck in one hand.

      (Shades of that Ankh-Morpork thrift store)

        …I need to spend more time at Walmarts. And THERE’S something you don’t say every day…

          There’s always the one in Evansville, IN.*

        Umm… and how is that unusual for a Walmart* store?

        (Note: far as I can tell from the signs outside the building, the asterisk is now part of the store’s name)

    intelligent life on other planets? What about madness… on other panels?

    How do you embroider a sound file?

      It’s tricky but it can be done, using counterpointstitch. My own mother can embroider a mean Casio fughetta.

    Their religion has a god?

      I’ve been maintaining that for weeks now. Of course, I think it’s an Elder God, but that still counts right?

      (Okay, okay, technically I’ve only mentioned the Great Old Ones, I get it. Go with the riff.)

        Does that mean that Nodens knows the troubles you’ve seen? -_^

        Yes, I know, back to Ulthar with me, nyao…
