September Discussion Thread

I'm getting a very Captain Ahab vibe from the good doctor here. So, just to clarify, Radical's only real crimes we can verify are some racketeering and a case of breaking and entering. I think McNinja's got Radical beat in volume of crimes commited.

Agreed, but King Radical is evil. He said so himself! I think that what has Doc obsessing over this is the fact that he has no idea what's evil about Radical. He just knows that he is, and should be stopped.

I'm always vaguely surprised that more people don't know about freeze drying and sublimation. Even my terribly incomplete science education in high school covered it at some point. It's an incredibly fascinating phenomenon.

Whoo public school! We covered it, too.

I wish this was posted up last week, but still very relevant.

World-renowned physicist Prof. Michio Kaku, who kind of looks like Shang Tsung from the Mortal Kombat movie but with white hair, explains Einstein's theory on time and the possibilities of time travel, including Back to the Future, in a way we idiots could understand.

"Taking problems that need to be solved with violence"...man, I wish my employer would let me put that on my card.

This guy is a hack. I'm sure he's a very smart man, but he's also one of the types who believes that the uncertainty principle means science supports magical thinking.

When did Radical say that? I don't remember that...

[CheeseWhisper]

When he said "He's right", I think he just meant "You won't catch me without his help" -- not "Yes, I'm evil and I was planning to pave paradise and put up a parking lot".

[mikekearn]

But of course you can see Doc's hatred of Radical confusing him over that statement.

[Nephrahim]

That one confused me for a while too, but yeah, pretty sure he meant the catching part.

Also, was reading through the archives. Sorry if someone mentioned this already, but this comic where the Mayor was hiding from McNinja when he was talking about King Radical makes a lot more sense now, huh?

Yeah, I mentioned it a few times, but it keeps gaining more and more relevance.

[the_shankmaster]

"Yes, I'm evil and I was planning to pave paradise and put up a parking lot".

He's planning on creating Cumberland's first ever tree museum.

Did Doc just give some random stranger a neck massage? It must have been super-relaxing.

Also, borrowed parlor FTW.
