... In general, though, a "true hermaphrodite" doesn't happen in humans as the two sexual organs produce hormones that lead to instability and often death. Usually it's more like one primary sexual organ is present, but additional sex chromosomes are also present, leading to either underdeveloped s...

A paradigm shifting without a clutch.

I think Pierce already knows what's going on and has just tried, unsuccessfully, to change the focus twice. Alice seems to be too smart to let him get away with it, though.

Well, Sylvain, that 1.7%-4% of the world's population, that the American Journal of Law & Medicine ( " Who Will Make Room for the Intersexed? " - Kate Haas) calls the "intersexed," might disagree with you. As for the "medical condition" ... Um, that reads very close to being a bigoted statement. I'm...

*the ringwolf holds up four fingers* By your knowledge of evolution as it relates to reproduction, which do you think came first: seperate male and female genders or a hermaphroditic gender? And then think about what gender would precede sexual reproduction. There might be more, but these four I am ...

As has been the case with my posts in this forum, that was not quite what I was alluding to, Allan. From the standpoint I see of your work, technology has become a necessity of functionality. Malcontents can wreak havoc with simplistic devices that do not maim or murder people through their technolo...

Kinda' makes one wonder what would happen if some malcontents used devices which would amplify signals (to burn out sensitive receivers) or EMI producing devices in metropolitan areas. Basically, what's happening in the comic is tame by comparison.

And to think that the technology for Shadowrun was supposed to show an active retardation and stagnation employed against innovation as a means of making the game's dysfunctional dark age more oppressive; the world of Shadowrun was nowhere near what it should have technologically achieved.

From what you've said about your father he has cared for you, listened to you, and given you wisdom you have found valuable without measure throughout your life. It sounds to me like he prepared you to answer this one question: what would your father have you do now? You are only as alone as you mak...

Um, Nyamaza? Wouldn't such a thing enable "thought police" and such policing strategies? Wouldn't it also create a demand for countering devices that only the powerful and well connected could have in spades? Wouldn't such devices contribute to the development of statist/despotic rule and a citizenr...

I was going to post something. When I read what Jeff-Kun wrote, I studied the comic for nearly an hour. I find I don't have one cohesive thought about this. Not one.

I thought about the "hurt" angle for Rick and it still doesn't jive with the head-thrown-back, villianous laughing at the end of that strip nor the gleeful malice showing on his face when he is saying words obviously meant to hurt. It's obvious that Rick felt he was decieved by Colin. But even in th...

It is a rather jarring character shift for Rick; this is the third time Poop has done some freaky-weird shi-stuff with character portrayal. I'm still off-balance from the Duma/Colin violence being canon to the story and now this cartoonish portrayal of Rick... I have no words; it's just too surreal....

Well, the guy appears to be crouching a little, which should shave a few inches off the jump... Also, as you mention, Andrick, this IS a comic!.. Um... that was not what I was taking issue with. I took issue with the comment about above mediocre acrobats and dancers being able to vertically propel ...
