There is a point at which "working on that tech" becomes "we have that tech"

And in any universe that contains eldritch horrors from beyond time and space, "we have that tech" quickly becomes "we wish we could uninvent that tech." Every. Single. Time.

The only solution is to stop the scientists

Hey, now. Let's not be too hasty...


...then again I've never invented anything worthwhile, let alone anything of the destroy-the-world type of nature...

Then you are obviously safe. It's the ones who show signs of the spark that we need to deal with

[Neko_Ali]

Dang those Mads. Always trying to blow up or take over Europe. The Heterodynes are the worst!

[Zebediah]

...then again I've never invented anything worthwhile, let alone anything of the destroy-the-world type of nature...

...that you'll admit to, anyway.

[Mafarfloune]

For reference: Zimmy is the girl with the black eyes in Gunnerkrigg Court.

D**n it, I've got work to do, not reading the archives of another webcomic.

It'll be worth it, trust me.

Well, after reading the first two chapters, it sure looks like you're absolutely correct.

D**n it, I've got work to do, not reading the archives of another webcomic.

Then you're missing the best webcomic.

Better than QC? Surely you can't be serious?

"I am serious. And don't call me Shirley."

This one time... in band camp... I took a flute... and used it as the detonator for my doomsday device!

[Loki]

Loki, don't you mean reality-warping?

We do not have rules against reality-warping per se.
We also don't have any rules regarding dogs and basketball.

[MooskiNet]

See this is one of those cases where phrasing is so important - do you not have a rule about dogs associated with basketball, or do you not have any rules about  either dogs or basketball?

Enterprising trolls are always waiting for the loophole.

[cesium133]

Dogs are not permitted to play point guard. They're too short. Except Great Danes, they can play whatever position they want.

We don't have any rules about dogs.
We don't have any rules about basketball.

It quickly follows by logical implication (eg by deriving the sequence in first-order calculus) that there are no rules about the combination of dogs and basketball.

[MooskiNet]

That my question was neither ignored nor greeted with eye rolls is one of the reasons I really like this place, n00b that I am.

[Loki]

glad to be of service.

[Rghfrgl]

Dogs are not permitted to play point guard. They're too short. Except Great Danes, they can play whatever position they want.

What about Pointers?

[ConmanTheBarbarian]

Make it a laser pointer and you could play against any number of cats 

[osaka]

That's the match of the century. Air bud vs an undisclosed amount of cats.

[cesium133]

Just remember that the maximum power a laser can have and still be classified as a laser pointer is 5 mW. You know, just in case you get any ideas...

[osaka]

I NEED THAT FOR REASONS

[cesium133]

Better buy it quick then, because the company was recently bought out and they're going to stop selling them at the end of the year...

[Undrneath]

Those reasons wouldn't be Jedi related would they?

[ReindeerFlotilla]

If the Do-nah curve exists in QC and Emily's been thinking about the code she writes, it would explain her personality, nicely.

[DrBear]

We don't have any rules about dogs.
We don't have any rules about basketball.

Can I start the Air Bud thread? 

[jwhouk]

Dogs are not permitted to play point guard. They're too short. Except Great Danes, they can play whatever position they want.

What about Pointers?

Not as good as Warhawks. Or whatever the #### Blugolds are.

(For those of you not getting the joke, try here.)

[SubaruStephen]

I live in Wisconsin, and I still don't get that joke.

[Stoon]

I live in Wisconsin...

My condolences.

[Gladstone]

I live in Wisconsin...

My condolences.

Thanks. 

[cesium133]

I live in Wisconsin...

My condolences.

Could be worse.

I'm not sure how, but it could be worse.

[Gladstone]

Could be worse.

I'm not sure how, but it could be worse.

Well, at least we're not Kansas (although we're heading in that direction, I bet), Alabama (or anywhere in the Deep South), Arizona, Texas...

[SubaruStephen]

I live in Wisconsin...

My condolences.

I love it here, I just wish there was more snow, I'm thinking of mowing the lawn tomorrow.

[Penquin47]

Well, at least we're not Kansas (although we're heading in that direction, I bet), Alabama (or anywhere in the Deep South), Arizona, Texas...

Hey!  Texas has awesome bits!  (Mostly around Austin.) (Not where I live, which is Redneck Jesus Capital.)

And if Wisconsin is good enough to exile angels to, then clearly it is unfit for human habitation.

Could be worse, though.  Could be Greenland.

[Gladstone]

Well, to be fair, every state has awesome bits surrounded by vast swaths of Redneck Jesus Capitols.  And I guess I can't mock your politicians, because we're still responsible for Joe McCarthy.

[Penquin47]

Mock away, George W. Bush and Rick Perry set themselves up for it.  And don't get me started on Ted Cruz.

[jwhouk]

I live in Wisconsin...

My condolences.

Yeah, I know. I keep telling myself, "Four more years then Arizona."


Since I have to explain the joke: Pointers are the nickname of the UW-Stevens Point sports teams. My alma mater, UW-Whitewater, is the Warhawks. UW-Eau Claire has the unfortunate nickname of Blugolds.

[wlewisiii]

To whomever mentioned Gunnerkrigg Court first,

I work nights but I got nothing done last night Best archive dive I've made since either discovering QC or possibly Schlock Mercenary. Thank you.

Now I have to wait till Monday for this one as well!

(I grew up in Eau Claire. Didn't they finally make Babe the Blue Ox (with gold highlights) the mascot to make it slightly better than the nickname alone.)

[Rimwolf]

Girl Genius should be next on your list if it's not already. "For science!"

[Pilchard123]

And Ozy & Millie

[jwhouk]

I'd suggest Wapsi Square, but if you do, be forewarned that you have an even larger archive to go through than Jeph's (Paul Taylor has been doing the comic since September of 2001).

[greekstreek]

We don't have any rules about dogs.
We don't have any rules about basketball.

It quickly follows by logical implication (eg by deriving the sequence in first-order calculus) that there are no rules about the combination of dogs and basketball.

Either initial rule would be sufficient in that regard.

[Estron]

Not gonna be easy.  The guys and gals on the EC space station summon the elder gods every Saturday night.

And play poker.

And occasionally win.

[Estron]

Dogs are not permitted to play point guard. They're too short. Except Great Danes, they can play whatever position they want.

The retrievers bring the ball down court, play is directed by the setters, and baskets are scored by the pointers.

Halftime show provided, of course, by Pitbull and Snoop Dogg.

Maybe we can use the AI to continue their tests...

Oh, yeah GG is good stuff too. Am loving the train story right now.

I'll have to check out the other ones mentioned on other nights with nothing better to do

I think I was the first to link it, but someone else mentioned Zimmy.

[questionablydiscontent]

CLAIRE (aside): "Marten, we've got to get him to think that Emily's a normal girl! Otherwise he'll be too weirded out to date her... plus I kind of want to make him think that girls act like that and mess with his views of the world... heheh."

MARTEN (aside): "So what should I do?"

CLAIRE (aside): "Just... just go along with everything I say, okay?"

MARTEN (aside): "Gotcha."

CLAIRE: "Clinton, don't you know anything about hominid heterosexual mating rituals? You introduce yourself, your love interest repeats your name while tipping her head back, and the more enthusiastic she gets the more she's into you! Right, Marten?"

MARTEN: "Right. For your first date, you go to a movie. If she starts yelling at the screen for no apparent reason, that's how you know she really likes you. Then you ask for her digits, and she says she won't tear off her fingers for you, but you're not sure if she's joking..."

CLAIRE: "So then you give her your phone to type in her number, but somehow she gets YOUR number off of it and puts it into HER phone before she suddenly leaves! Then, right when you start wondering how you'll contact you, she texts you to say she left her number on the twenty-dollar bill in your wallet! That's how girls work, Clinton!"

CLINTON: "So does that mean you did all that with Marten?"

MARTEN: "Yes."

*CLAIRE jabs MARTEN in the ribs*

MARTEN (aside): "Hey, I'm just going along with what you said!"

[Gladstone]

MARTEN: "Also, baskets of mice are traditional courting gifts."

CLAIRE (aside): Where--where did you get that idea?"

MARTEN (aside): "Just something I thought of once..."

[ysth]

You don't need a laser pointer to defeat cats:

[Schmorgluck]

Dang those Mads. Always trying to blow up or take over Europe. The Heterodynes are the worst!

Yeah, but Othar Tryggvassen, Gentleman Adventurer! will get them all eventually.
