As to the willys full of clowns and other oddities for the last two weeks, I assumed they were intended to show that Tristan doesn't react much to anything. Except that object in the antiques store. Ah yes....of course! It makes so much sense now! Good on ya! The 10/11 strip is an interesting tease...

Well, they didn't make them up just for the sake of that estimated 3-10% of the population. The Romans stole most of their mythology from the Greeks, and the Greeks were... um... notorious for that sort of thing. Gods do as they will. And yes, Zeus got around. Europa was, well, bovine. At the time ...

[Naming planets] Okay, naive question of the day: Who names these things anyway? There's a man over there With a look of surprise As much as to say "well now how about that?" Do I actually see with my own very eyes A man who's not heard of a jellicle cat? What's a jellicle cat? ... The naming of ca...

I guess what fascinates me most about the article is that Quaoar is so small, yet it's actually larger than all the matter in the asteroid belt combined. I know that this statement appeared in more than one article, but it is false. Current estimates show that the matter in the asteroid belt would ...

According to my source: KWAR-oh-arr. Where did that extra "R" come from? Blame its parents, LH. :D Actually the source was Dan Vergano in USA TODAY in their Oct. 8th issue: KWAR-o-ar. Mr. Vergano is located in Los Angeles and may well have called up the discoverer on the phone about it, then done h...

Oh, are you from the East Coast?

Twist my arm. Puhleeze!

Consider it, ah, wrenched.

About 300 miles as the landshark swims. E-mail me, let's make arrangements.

I wanted to take an ultralight flight, but that wasn't possible that day and I haven't had time since. I've never been in an ultralight, but flying... Well, let's just say I hope you find the time soon. There's something very special about flying under your own direction, as opposed to in the back ...

The exterior shot looks good -- nice use of color. Some of the storm clouds on Jupiter are planet sized -- Lindbergh is wise to head in other directions. Nice image of Jupiter behind Jenny on the wall. Another hexpanel is visible there as well, which we have now learned are communication screens tha...

Or at least a space elevator made of carbon nanotubes. :wink: I subscribe to the hard copy magazine, but the OL story is at http://www.sciencenews.org/20021005/bob9.asp I've spent some pleasant time in the company of a scientist (it's not fair to say I got him drunk!) working on a closely related c...

So, it seems that Jack has a fear of loud noises, specifically thunder. Interesting, if true. There may have been another reason for him, ah, bolting. Therapy for such things in 2066 is likely to be neurochemical in nature. But I am suddenly reminded of a Gary Larson cartoon in which therapy is bein...

This is getting into that whole "Is Pluto a planet?" thing again. It's half Pluto's size, but it's still classified as a minor planet. How do we classify one that's actually bigger than Pluto? Actually, the term "minor planet" was used to say that Quaoar is NOT a planet. "Minor planet" is a term th...

I am not, in fact, and speak the truth as well as I understand it. And I always seek to improve my understanding.

And now, the nest of the story...

Nesting makes for some tight quoters, no?

Please don't rush your story telling to suit us impatient types, we'll survive just fine and thank you all the more for it once it's done in the end :) Mako Yes....please don't.....we don't want next week's installment to involve Tristan blowing up the patch of woods in question to eliminate a poss...

Not to mention the little white pony the engineer-lady seems to be working with. 8) Cameo time indeed. And it seems that the white pony is relaxed, and willing to go with the flo. ;) But yeah, imagine the trouble trying to get a wolf to work with a cute little succulent rabbit on board a space stat...

And can you imagine being given a first name like "Affana"? Somebody's parents had a sense of humor.

White Pony, good to see you here, and your work. Very nice indeed!

I notice with great interest that Scobee, in the last panel, has slumped rather than bristled. Let's see what tomorrow brings. Well, I doubt that even a cybernetically enhanced wolf would want to really tick off a skunk! Esp. one so close to his own size. :D After all, I assume the skunk works... O...

A LevelHead look-alike is seen walking away from the scene with a shovel,grinning evilly :but is it LevelHead, fed up with the announcers words, or is it Eduardo! The Muy Loco? :The world may never know.(or maybe it was just Eduardo :wink: ) Most interesting. Being a look-alike to me would be likel...

Welcome, Edward! I was just writing about you, in a different context. I'm not sure whether I should be scared, indifferent or elated My thanks for the welcomes hopefully not belated Ummm...something, something, something ending in -ated Yes, I'll definately leave the poetry to those more adept-ate...
