  1. Comic for Wednesday 9, February 2022

    Google give that as "Free from lime", which really isn't the same. Stone is lapis. Liberated from the stone, at least according to Google is Liberatus de Lapide.

    Very few of which have "The Sword in the Stone" and "The Sword of the Lake" being the same thing. It's a modern (Well, late 1800's) invention that they were the same.

    Yeah, she often sits and naps on The Box, which isn't in my way. Or sleeps on the bed while I'm out of it. Of course while I'm in the bed she frequently is in the way if I'm trying to read.

    True. And given my current memory and spelling issues, I suspect I couldn't pass an intelligence check with out Google. Of course, knowing how to use Google well is in and of itself an intelligence check of sorts.
  5. Things That Are Just Annoying

    Some times even non-government bureaucracies can be a pain in the butt.
  6. Political Discussion Thread (READ FIRST POST)

    There should be a basic intelligence check for using the internet, particularly posting rights on social media.
  7. What Are You Ingesting?

    Sounds better than my Swiss cheese and smoked ham on an everything bagel I had yesterday. I'm now out of bagels, so I'm not sure what I'm having for lunch. I suspect I'll make cheesy rice.

    The sword in the stone wasn't Excalibur, at least in most written version of the Arthurian stories. And it was the one the made Arthur king. So, the whole strange women thing is wrong from the jump. Malory doesn't name the sword in the stone and Excalibur is later given to Arthur after he was king. And if you are talking King Arthur, Malory is you go to source.

    Well, it's used to start fires, it's a semiconductor and it's used in making sulfuric acid. The semiconductor option is the most likely thing that could make it valuable. Or it could be the mineral that you need for FTL drives. While not pyrite, Traveller jump drives use Lanthanum, which in the real world is mainly used to make cigarette lighters "flints"

    "Yeah, I'm back off the bed. I told you about 3. Glad you made it last time I got off it. Well, not really glad, but you know what I mean" - Explorer the Cat.

    And now you have a government run teaching "institution". Politics could get nasty. But I expect The Dan to avoid that sort of thing, because it's not funny most of the time.

  14. Ah. Hope they get them all and you get some relief.
  15. Comic for Monday, Feb 7, 2022

    I agree. I don't think that Kevin had any thing to do with Jay. It might have had to do with her mother, but I'm wary of that at that as Arthur said it was for training agents. Unless Jay's mother is an agent I'm not seeing Kevin as being for Arthur's family use.
  16. Here is. Several key take aways from today's strip. 1) We see what Kevin will say to an awakened magic user. 2) Sarah gets some strength training, which should help her become awakened. 3) Tedd needs to study how Kevin blocks ambient magic which could be important in their research into magic resistance.

    I suspect she was rather referring to the movie, which has a major wizard duel in it. Plus changing to various animal forms. She did say it was one of her favorite movies.

    Stuck in the1970's is better than stuck in 2016.

    I don't think so. She has forelocks all the time, but her antennae come from the center of her hair line, and don't seem to be in view either today or yesterday.
  22. Comic for Monday, Feb 7, 2022

    That seems to be the case, based on what Arthur said about him when he was talked about. Training a wizard takes more then just building up strength, even if that is an important part of the training.

    Yeah, I'd like that as well. But you're right, right now a right wing party with out a Trump wing is doomed to fail. I don't often wish that some one would die of natural causes, but sirrah Trump is pushing an exception.
