        Amazing gloves someone Shaenon, you mean. Who’s this Drew person all of a sudden?

          Pancha deserves the credit for all sparkly things.

          “Drew” is just a nickname for the glove designer.

    I can dig it. And tiny sadness box is clearly inferior information source.

    I’d bet on Drs. Jones and Lee against Dr. Doom!

      Throw in Gavotte, and I’d back that bet.

    Anytime there’s Mad scientists going up against a plain old evil mastermind, my money is on the Mad scientists. As Helen was fond of saying, they’re not limited by the possible.

      Tip’s been trying since he first laid eyes on her. He’s just too square for her.

    Mind you, it might be of some interest to learn*why* Marcie is saying we’re all going to die. Surely the Cosmic Funk need not begrudge the addition of new data? o_O

      MY guess is the weather control machine

        Honestly, if it isn’t the weather control machine, it needs to wait its turn. Multiple apocalypses going off at once are how you end up with nice weather.

          “Sir, the mega-tsunami is about to impact the coast, the super-volcano is about to go critical, and our top scientists still have only managed to switch the weather device from drought to snowstorms!”

          “My god!”

          “Wait! Sir… something’s happening! The wave of intense cold emanating from the device seems to be freezing the incoming tsunami! It’s slowing down, sir! It’s turning into slush, and then into solid walls of ice! This is incredible!”

          “That’s all well and good, Johnson, but what about that volcano?!”

          “Still on course to erupt sir! In fact… we’ve just detected the first plume! And to top it all off, there’s been another fault shift, and a second earthquake is starting, this time right under the volcano!”

          “Sweet Jesus!”

          “Hang on! We’re receiving reports that the earthquake has caused the seaward side of the volcano to collapse! Spotters confirm the eruption is now going into full effect, but it’s being diverted toward the ocean! The devastation is incredible, but all nearby urban centers seem to be unscathed!”

          “It’s a miracle!”

          “Don’t celebrate just yet! The lava has just come into contact with the frozen tsunami! Visuals non-existant due to steam and fog! Winds picking up, reaching incredible levels! We’re projecting the formation of an ultra-tornado, ten miles across with winds in excess of 400 miles per hour! It’s heading straight for the weather control laboratory!”

          “Evacuate immediately! Get everyone to safety!”

          “It’s too late sir! We’ve lost contact with the base! Last transmission reported that the weather device began acting erratically, due to a suspected harmonic resonance with the incoming storm! We have no idea what it’s about to do!”

          “Get the president on the line, NOW!”

          “Sir! We’ve detected a massive shockwave! Brace for impact!”

          “Status report! Status report, damnit!”

          “Sir! I… I don’t believe it!”

          “Well?! Out with it, Johnson!”

          “Sir! Sensors indicate clear skies, perfect 72 degree weather, a light breeze, and a double rainbow all the way across the sky, as far away as Saskatoon!”

          “What?! That’s incredible!”

          “Bravo 2 just reported in, sir! They’ve re-established contact with the research lab, but the device in unaccounted for! Eyewitnesses say it was last seen being sucked up into clouds when the storm struck! But there’s also an unconfirmed sighting by two technicians who claim to have seen some sort of aircraft piloted by a pair of opposums in quote ‘The most unabashedly Funkadelic outfits this side of the moon’, who may have absconded with the device using some sort of energy ray!”

          “Great scot! Well, we’d better call the president and tell him to cancel that doomsday speech…”

          No, you’re thinking of pi. Data can be square, cubic, or other geometric shapes. You can find data to fit any hypothesis after all, so it only makes sense that it would come in a wide variety of forms.

            My hypothesis is that there are some hypotheses which don’t fit the available data, however you present it. What do I need to back that up?

    Okay, we need brick phones for Tigerlilly to take us seriously

    …a little late for that, though, isn’t it?

      So you think Tip is having his device read aloud a text from Marcie, or that he should put it on speakerphone?

    Given the bees revelation… I feel like I need to go reevaluate everything Tigerlilly ever said. :/

    So is the “tiny sadness box” the phone, or is it Tip (or Marcie)? I think I like it best as TLJ’s name for Tip.

    We had several million sparkly metric tonnes of snow here last winter. She must be a busy girl.
