TinPenguin:
Eh, but is there seriously anyone here who's never said "I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you." in jest?

Yeah, I get where you're coming from. However, given that the NRO actually decided to annihilate her laptop, I think we are behoved to at least wonder if she's being serious!

If we're unlucky the QCverse is just like the real universe?

--- Quote from: brown paper bag on 15 Dec 2014, 04:09 ---There's a quote from Alan Moore which kind of describes my issue with some of Jeph's writing. I think he does extremely well with 99% of his characters and story arcs, but sometimes he throws something (or someone) in which strains credibility for me:
"In my work as an author, I traffic in fiction. I do not traffic in lies. Although I'll admit the distinction is a nice one, and perhaps not easy for the layman to make. With fiction, with art and writing, it's important that even if you're dealing with areas of complete outrageous fantasy, that there is an emotional resonance. It is important that a story ring true upon a human level, even if it never happened."

But me, a Computer Science student, and quite possibly not the only one around, is quibbling over details because I simply say that a compiler wouldn't parse a text file of bullshit.
Actually, cthulhu-summoning code is something I've had to hand in a couple of times. Surprisingly enough, it passed grades.

Me. But that's because, if I were to do it literally, I wouldn't tell either. Whatsapp exists, mobile telecoms exist. The information can be out of my control much faster than I'd want it to.
Zebediah:
Am I the only one who interpreted the laugh in the final panel as a sign that Emily is just messing with Clinton? She knows people think she's weird, so she's having a bit of fun at Clinton's expense.
