      Welcome, everyone, to the new 910CMX Community Forums. I'm still working on getting them running, so things may change.  If you're a 910 Comic creator and need your forum recreated, let me know and I'll get on it right away.  I'll do my best to make this new place as fun as the last one!

    Such a material’s suitability for outer space use depends upon the flight conditions. For example, I do not think that it would be able to endure the heat of atmospheric entry without a substantial heat shield over it

    True

    But for structures intended to remain in space, and which are expected/designed to disintegrate on atmospheric entry, this could be a very good thing

    Oops

    I can see it

    An orbital/asteroid belt manufacturing facility which, while obtaining most of its energy by solar power, still produces a excessive amount of CO2 and additional noxious gasses through other industrial processes (ie those darn humans who run the place)
    To mitigate this, a large greenhouse grows the trees which are then processed into the Super Wood for additional construction

    These trees will almost certainly be genetically modified, when compared to their Earthbound ancestral species
    Should the trees be maximized for growth and thus wood production?
    Or should they perform double duty and produce fruit, nuts, edible seeds, and/or other arboreal byproducts?

    Edit

    A possible conflict occurs to me
    Vermont leads an all out negative advertising campaign trying to convince the world that Maple Syrup from Outer Space is not safe or delicious

    Well, since every person is potentially either a criminal or a crime victim or even both why not simply eliminate everyone you encounter?

    That way, there are fewer people committing crimes, and fewer people being victimized by crime

    Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius

    Cistercian abbot Arnaud Amalric certainly found a way to keep things simple for the Crusaders at Béziers

    "You can't register to vote unless you can pass the same test that immigrants take to become citizens."

    Well, to be fair, the leadership is just as stupid.

    Unfortunately, most among the leaders of these political movements are not stupid
    They deliberately pander to the stupid, scared, bigoted, and small minded

    And is it worse to be a politician who is genuinely a small minded bigot, or a more intelligent politician who plays the part and panders to the small minded bigots to win elections?

    No, Grace is not a squirrel who turned human
    How could you possibly interpret her previous comment about being a squirrel like that?

    As for how Diane anticipated Tedd's explanation so quickly?
    I think there is more than simply trousers of intelligence at work here
    Diane knows more about magic and "Spooky Stuff" than you would expect from someone who's first confirmed exposure to the phenomena was just a few weeks ago at the New Year's party

    Has Diane been reading Charlotte's blog?  Likely
    Has she encountered some other source of esoteric information?  That would be an interesting plot twist...

    You believe Kaoli is from the same universe as Magus? Is there an in-comic reason?

    Kaoli is anticipated to return

    Kaoli knows something about travel between universes

    That makes her far more of an "Expert" than any of the Basement Bunch

    If I had to ask someone to drive me somewhere in America, and my choices were an adult from Paris who just arrived in the USA today and a nine year old American kid who had only ever driven bumper cars...

    You say I'm doing push-ups; I've defined that my back is stationary and I'm bench-pressing the planet.

    I hope you remember to clean up your workout equipment when you're done

    I hate it when the guy in front of me leaves the 13,170,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pound weight as a sweaty mess

    Tedd may have been using Seer-vision on the spell, which would definitely explain the "WHAT" reaction--Tedd knows that she programmed the spell into the wand, and that what Sarah cast was not the same as what Tedd programmed.

    This is what happens when Seer programs in metric but the user thinks in imperial. :D

    Starting when I was about nine, through one class or another, my schools spent at least two weeks each year trying to convince us American kids that we needed to know Metric

    They never told us it had Magical implications...

    As for the clicking door?

    This is the big introduction of the "Surprise" guest star that will explain why Dan has been so reluctant to reveal the real title for this story

    It will be a cyborg clone of General De Gaulle carrying the disembodied brain of Cyrus the Great (NOT Billy Ray) in a porcelain urn on which perches a psychic Egret to interpret the thoughts of the Persian Emperor

    change from the Good King Wenceslaus tune to the academic march. is that somehow related?

    I don't know

    Sometimes musical arrangements baffle me

    Louis Prima tacked "I Ain't Got Nobody" to the end of "Gigolo" and somehow made it work

    As a child, I had a recording of "Yankee Doodle" performed on Bagpipes that ended with "Rule Britannia!"
