Sorry to get this back on topic.
--- Quote from: Skewbrow on 26 Sep 2012, 13:57 ---Hmm. Momo's own perception of her relation with Marigold has changed over the course of the comic. In 1298 she was still talking about "my owner's interests". Granted, she was just reciting a Sony ad text at that time and had just moved in to live with Marigold, but even so...

1412: "Excuse me, but my owner is very knowledgeable about AnthroPCs and may be able to assist you.
Doesn't sound like a sales pitch to me.
Is it cold in here?:
Good catch.
The AIERA had happened by strip 1900, not long afterward in comic time.
Momo and Marigirl may have renegotiated their contract to be a companionship one after ownership was outlawed.
Skewbrow:
Mustang: A good catch!
Yeah. Mark the ages puzzle solved (I did misread the "square and one" part of Carl's description). DSL and MoM also figured out the other intended solution (sorry about the bad pun).
Near Lurker: Interesting points. IIRC that cheap go-playing program had serious problems evaluating an open position (it had a cheat feature allowing me to see, how the open regions would be split as well as its idea of which groups of stones were live/dead).
Akima: Thanks for the bits about go web sites. I may check them out. But I'm spending too much time at an on-line bridge site as it is, so ... If I get my son interested in go, that might lead to something (quality bonding time?). The score of our latest chess games is something like 1-199 in his favor, which is a bit too lopsided.
Akima:
Chess is so Freudian. The Queen (the mother) is the most powerful piece on the board, and the object of the game is to kill the King (the father). Fathers typically teach their sons to play, and every son's ambition is to defeat his father (the King). :-D
no one special:

But the books make him so much more than human that it doesn't really work, at least not without canon backing it up.

Yeah, I thought it was kinda strange that she just announced it. As it's just so completely irrelevant to the story, the announcement suring that interview seemed odd. It would basically be like announcing the sexual tendencies of Professor Sprout - what does it have to do with anything?
--- Quote from: Carl-E on 29 Sep 2012, 09:58 ---It's still a ripping good yarn.

Hell yeah it is :)
