Awww!  I like that they're really friendly and only fight when they enjoy it, just like the Graces.

Quite correct.  That tactic is far more suited to the hydrogen filled dirigible.

Often times quotes are attributed to famous people who never said them, or the version of the quote that most people know is not exactly what they said. Not wanting to perpetuate such mistakes if I can avoid it, I've tried to do a little research on the following quotes. Where I couldn't find any info, or it's not sure whether they actually said it, I say below that it's "attributed to" them. (Mind you, my research was far from thorough, so I do not promise 100% accuracy.)
 
"A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools." - Douglas Adams, "Mostly Harmless"
"How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress." - Niels Bohr
"Anyone who has not been shocked by Quantum physics has not understood it." - Niels Bohr
"Occasionally he stumbled over the truth, but hastily picked himself up and hurried on as if nothing had happened." - Winston Churchill (often mis-quoted to refer to "men" or mankind in general)
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity. And I'm not so sure about the former." - Attributed to Albert Einstein by Fredercik S. Perls
"As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality." - Albert Einstein, "Sidelights of Relativity"
"The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it's comprehensible." - Albert Einstein, "Physics and Reality"
"If at first an idea does not sound absurd, then there is no hope for it." - Attributed to Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein in response to a book entitled "100 Authors against Einstein": "Why 100? If I were wrong, one would have been enough."
"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth leaves the world blind and toothless" - Attributed to Mohandas Gandhi
"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read." - Attributed to Groucho Marx
"Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society." - Mark Twain (Appears in "More Maxims of Mark" by Merle Johnson; Twain scholars consider the book likely accurate.)
"Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reform." - Mark Twain, "Mark Twain's Notebook"
"In religion and politics, people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue, but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing." - Mark Twain, "The Autobiography of Mark Twain"
"Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow." - Mark Twain (in an article in "The Galaxy", July 1870)
"One of the most striking differences between a cat and a lie is that a cat has only nine lives." - Mark Twain, "Pudd'nhead Wilson"
"If man could be crossed with the cat, it would improve man but deteriorate the cat." - Mark Twain, "Mark Twain's Notebook"

Just like cats, really.

Most fights between adult kaiju are territorial disputes, rather than for fun.

That's not unusual, and there's nothing wrong with it.  When a person (or pet) has been sick for a while, or is very old, and the end is in sight, we tend to do some of our mourning ahead of time.  By the time the end comes, it's not that we don't mourn them, it's that we already have.  And it being over can be a good thing.
My mom could see the end coming.  She has coped very well, because she had tme to deal with all the emotions, as well as the two of them each having their own interests and having some life apart from each other.  She says it mostly feels like he's still in the next room, it's just further away now.  I have a client whose husband died before my dad did, and she still tears up almost every appointment, and talks about how hard it is to cope without him.  They shared so much, and had so little they didn't share, that her whole world was torn apart.  Plus, his death was completely unexpected, so she had no time to get used to the idea, no chance to spread things out.
I tell clients, when a pet dies, that there is no right or wrong way to say goodbye.  At a euthanasia, some people stay to the very end, some stay until their pet is asleep, and some leave before I do anything.  None of them is wrong, none of them love their pet any less based on their choice.  The same is true for losing people.
You can expect one death to bring up feelings about other deaths, maybe even moreso than the current one.  You may hit all the official Stages Of Grief, but you may not,  Don't be afraid to reach out if you need to talk, to family or friends or to a support group or whatever.  But don't feel bad if you don't need to talk, either.  *hugs*  You have friends here.

I hope so too. No one witnessed the fall; she was found a few hours later. I really hope she was unconscious the entire time. After they got her to the hospital she was sedated, and later given morphine, so I suppose from that point on she was as comfortable as possible under the circumstances.

My profoundest condolences to you and your family. My thoughts go out to you. *hug*

She's passed.
I've spent so much time preemptively mourning her over the last couple of days that now I'm to emotionally drained to feel much additional sadness, though I'm sure it's only a matter of time before it hits me again. In the mean time though, it's at least a little bit of a relief to know that it's over.

Sometimes gravity really sucks.
Whatever happens, I hope it isn't overly drawn-out or painful.

My grandmother is in the hospital after falling down her cellar stairs and hitting her head badly; she's not expected to make it.
The timing is particularly cruel too (not that any time would have been a good time). She lives a good four hour drive away, so we were usually only able to see each other a few times a year; our next visit was going to be next week, and we had recently been talking about how we were both looking forward to it...

You can't fly a fish while sitting on the neck of a giraffe in Chicago?
What about the rest of Cook County?  Illinois?  How about Gary?  Does this apply if the Giraffe is on the deck of a boat in Lake Michigan?
The rights of responsible fish pilots to fly their fins from their long necked steeds should not be limited by legislative misunderstandings of the Giraffic Aeronautical Anglers.

Before I panic, I think it just that the Will of Magic simplified the explanations after Tedd mentioned they were hard to understand.

I think it's just showing that this experience has been exhausting for her and she's trying to relax and contemplate.

I don't care about all these people. I want Phill to return. *cries*

Is this where we get into the "Birds Are Dinosaurs" part of the discussion?
Birds have scales.  Usually on the feet, but they are there.
So all we need is an extremely large and magical bird...

Oh, I missed that. (I usually skip over reading the links section of the commentary, as I assume I remember the comic well enough I don't need a recap.)
I prefer EGS with dragons in it's past, though, so I'm going to continue having that as my headcanon until and unless it is conclusively proven the main world never had dragons (or at least there's an in-comic explanation for that flashback).
Of course, that doesn't mean the scale is from a dragon (although if you go with the "any big reptile" definition it probably is, as the only other likely option would be a big fish).

Honestly I did find your comment a bit brusque, and assumed you to be offended. It wasn't all that bad though, and it was for a good cause, so I wasn't planning on holding it against you. Anyway, apology accepted.
Your first mistake is in expecting English to make sense.
