There are many people who use the Internet at all, ever, and don't know what it is. (Like Bok, apparently.) These are the people that the ISPs are trying to sucker into thinking net neutrality will gently caress their internet.

I probably should have known that "Beam me up" would be the prominent in memorial for Mr. Nimoy, but I always expected it would be some variation of "I am, and have always been, your friend."

I don't think most people have actually seen or remember Star Trek, apart from that quote...which I am not sure anyone ever actually used. All I can remember is "three to beam up" or whatever.

He doesn't realize this is already the second Republic does he? The articles of Confederation was the first where states had tons of power. It failed so we gave more power to the feds. When that wasn't clear enough we fought a war about it and passed the 14th amendment to make extra sure that people knew the federal government trumps states. I'm starting to think Muir may not have a good grasp on history.

I mean, Nimoy took the "Live long and prosper" catchphrase he was expected to say for the rest of his natural born life and turned it into something kind of poignant, even when he was tongue-in-cheek about it, so like, whatever, of course they're going to use the "Elementary, my dear Watson" of his popular TV show, but that other line summed him up for me, and for some reason I forgot that cartoonists go for the more universally understood reference, instead of living inside my brain.

Actually, most Shatner cartoons will probably involve some variation of "Warp speed" or "the final frontier."

More Takei cartoons will probably reference his "oh my!" catchphrase, probably with him saying it in response to seeing the pearly gates.

At least one homophobic, Conservative dickhole (Lester, maybe) will have him saying it in response to seeing Hell, which will be filled with beautiful succubi, but no men.

So...Muir's wife and liberal sister invented an anti-aging formula, kept it to themselves, let everyone else and killed their children in the chaos of CWII to keep the secret and started to impersonate them. Only they've done it for so long that they started to believe the illusion, that they are their own daughters, even in private.

Seriously, the pair look exactly like Mrs. Muiry-Sue and sister, only they're wearing "futuristic" clothes with holes cut in them.

I've actually been watching through the original series lately. The exact phrase "Beam me up, Scotty" was never said, and all of the 'beam up' quotes were said by Kirk. Spock never really says anything like that.

e: Eh, he does say "Ready to beam up" in an episode, now that I think about it.

When I was a kid I thought Spock was cool and smarter than all the others, but now I see that the rest of the cast is all smart in their own way too but only Spock has a crippling lack of understanding of how to interact with others, even other Vulcans. Everyone else has to constantly adjust everything they say and do in order to account for it.

edit: and then in Enterprise they went way into how Vulcans just basically suck compared to everyone else.

I know this was from a few pages back, but I'd also like to point out that Lester's a gigantic loving idiot for another reason quite aside from not having the first clue what Net Neutrality is.

It strikes me that using the metaphor of government ownership of the National Parks is hilariously antithetical to the GUBMINT BAD! message that Lester's attempting to get across. The government ownership and control of the National Parks are the only reason that they haven't been deforested, hunted into extinction, and strip-mined. While there are some complete assholes who would feed their own mother into the Soylent machine captains of industry who want the National Parks opened for commercial exploitation, a vast, vast majority across all political affiliations have visited a national part and think that it is "Extremely important" or "Quite important" that the government protect and support the parks, and 95% of those polled feel that "protecting the National Parks is an appropriate role for the federal government.".

So yeah, Lester, you AGCed your own cartoon, despite your imbecilic lack of understanding of what Net Neutrality actually does.

Population estimates of Earth at 10,000BC (roughly when the mammoths died out): between 2 million and 10 million.

Population of Earth at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution: approximately 1 billion

Population of Earth now: approximately 7.3 billion

I don't even know how to scale the industrialization of humanity across that time frame.

It's almost like the ability of humanity to alter the environment has changed over time. What a bizarre idea.

No no no, Napoleon was defeated BEFORE the british burned washington, and they never got to baltimore.

Peace was declared because both sides were tired as poo poo of war and the british had suffered several reversals of their invasions

Ah woooops. I remember that the british did so poorly at the negotiating because they didn't have much interest in it anymore but thought it had something to do with europe. The important thing was that the british could've kept fighting if they wanted to force a peace that held onto the territories they gained (like makinak) while the US absolutely needed to stop no matter what since it was in a credit crisis, as most war funds were raised through private lenders). The british had only failed invasions and not any 'reversals,' since they still had a net gain on territory and the US didn't have the ability to try invading upper/lower canada as they had earlier in the war. The piss poor attempt at new orleans' failure happening right before Ghent probably had a lot more influence than it should have.

Also I confused baltimore with alexandria. And the burning going on in annapolis, but that was a riot and not a british attack

That or it's like the thing in Practical Magic where each generation has a red-haired and dark-hair set of sisters and they carry a curse where any man they fall in love with will inevitably die. Except it's gotten weaker over the years so now it's any man they fall in love with will inevitably become a paranoid, right-wing conspiracy nut who can't hold down a job but has plenty of time to drink beer and babble on about what liberals are doing to his country.
