"Now ends the age of Man".

Pintsize should be afraid of that fact. Last week's strips should have proven to him that the Age of Woman would be an infinitely more painful experience for him!

This right here captures the frame perfectly. Close the thread and let's move on to the next QC Captions.

Hmmm.....  I like the idea of that virus.  Kittens.  Fluffy fluffy kittens. 

One could take a  modeling and rendering program with a bunch of good kitten models, then write a script to use a stream of random numbers to color them, pose them, set the lighting, add other props....  And then another one to transform photos into a stream of random numbers, which is easy. 

After that, it's a matter of training a neural network to recognize which pics are porn (which I've already done for my esteemed employer; I have MANY terabytes of the training data we had to collect, and folks, I bet it dwarfs Pintsize's collection)  and save kitten pics with the same name and format back in place of them, and you've got yourself a virus payload.  I could monkey that together in a few weekends.

Um, not that I would ever, ever do such a thing.... 

Of course not.  That would be evil. 

Maybe.

Would that be evil? 

It is a mystery.... 

Honestly, it's gotten hard for me to understand the whole"Good, Evil" thing.  Fortunately for me, I don't give much of a crap about it so it doesn't bother me.  I'm having a Hofstadter moment though, in realizing that if I did give a crap about it, then that would make me give a crap about it.....

"There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing
Is it raining, is it snowing
Is a hurricane a-blowing
Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing
Are the fires of Hell a-glowing
Is the grisly reaper mowing
Yes, the danger must be growing
For the rowers keep on rowing
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing"
