"Robot jail" instantly reminded me of the Futurama episode "Insane in the Mainframe"...

--- Quote from: Storel on 31 Jul 2013, 14:36 ---This conversation is now reminding me of the Neal Stephenson character who had "POOR IMPULSE CONTROL" tattooed on his forehead as a sort of punishment (or warning to everyone else?), who firmly believed that everyone could be induced to listen to Reason. Turned out that Reason was the name he'd given the (barely) portable chaingun he carried around... or was it the name of the tactical nuke he also kept with him? One of those, anyway... 8-)

Yeah, unless Stephenson was in turn referencing something else, the "forehead tattoo" in today's strip title sounds like a reference to that.
Also, same book, but Raven only had the nuke. Reason (a prototype Gatling railgun) was carried by a mafia guy nicknamed Fisheye, and later by the hero/protagonist, Hiro Protagonist.
Is it cold in here?:
AnthroPC processing speed.
Storel:
Thanks, everyone who pointed out that I was commingling two different characters. Clearly, it's been waaaay too long since I last read Snow Crash...
