If I had a nickel for every time this phrase was uttered in a Microsoft developer's meeting, I could buy and sell Gates himself.

Somebody:
Wait, wasn't the commissioned thing meant to be the same as v1?

I have mixed feelings about this. Magnitude 9 quake followed by a tsunami is about the worst imaginable thing our dear planet can throw at a construction,...

Two words: "Pyroclastic flow". (Imagine a tsunami made of 600degC ash travelling at hundreds of miles an hour)

[Also, the fact that (a) the diesel generators failed because they were kept below sea level and so guaranteed to fail in the event of any sort of flood and (b) meltdown has occurred because the portable generators trucked in to replace the flooded ones used the wrong sort of plug... Well, not the best advert for Japan even if it took the quake itself]

Those are all different Martens, from various doomed timelines created by unstable loops. We still haven't seen the Alpha Marten.

Tooooo much Homestuck, there, Doctor.

TheEvilDog:
Anyone else keep hearing the Jurassic Park theme every time the Espressosaurus appear in the comic?

Border Reiver:
No, but I was thinking how she needs to increase the connection strength of the neck attachment (presumably so that it can be stored in a conveniently sized box and then assembled.), at least it came apart at a seam - should make repairs easier.

Faye's got a real dino theme going - is Jeph catering to Mr. Willis' love of Transformers and the Beast Wars storyline?  Or just indulging an older love?

I've definitely been in too long - was wondering if Hanner's helmet is kevlar or steel.  If it's kevlar she should get a cloth cover for it - the kevlar's ballistic protection goes down if it's exposed to UV.
