Mr_Rose:
The one in the shaft heading upwards, talking to Gold Leader.
Also, I can confirm there is a rightmost edge, beyond which lies the unknown deeps.

Is it cold in here?:

Is that hose always connected? If so, why? Do that many creeps come in that they need large quantities of high pressure water available at a moment's notice?

Pre-post edit:
Which X-Wing? There's two.

Some possible explanations are
o The hose is actually hooked to a coffee machine and is used for the greediest customers
o It's just a cartoon and things happen for no other reason than being funny
o They leave the hose connected so Dora can make her employees do wet T-shirt contests
o It's used on customers who don't tip
o It's not actually connected all the time but Hannelore's genetically engineered reaction speed allow her to get it out of the closet and hook it up before anyone else can blink.

Judging by the squared measurements [14 N, 48 E, 25 S, 33 W] (at 2048 x 2048px per square), the whole would be 165888 x 79782px.

The most intruiging part is, ALL OF THAT would only be a miniscule representation of our world...

Edit: To create all of that in GIMP takes memory space of 124.8GB. Anyone got a spare datacentre?

Rendered at 600 dpi, it would be 276.5x133 inches.

As for the memory issues, I have access to a supercomputer that could fit that into the memory of 8 nodes (16 GB per node). Is there a distributed computing version of GIMP?  :roll:

iduguphergrave:
I think the hose is my new favorite character.

bhtooefr:
IIRC, last time the hose was brought out, it was shown as not connected.

So, it's just being used as a flail.
