Yeah, this is two years earlier than whenever Mark's Spelunking & Sperging adventure (Module MT01 - "Against the Kobold Drug Lords") takes place. All we know so far is that a rich young couple with creepy inhuman grins is enjoying a cruise on their private yacht through the South Pacific on their way to New Zealand, which means they have apparently just passed Hawaii. Which is decidedly north of the equator on our world, but the jam esallen cares not for your hoo-man 'geography' or 'education': the Sonoran desert or Texas, the Rio Grande or the Gulf of Mexico, south of the equator or north, spherical planet or flat, it's all the same. At some point I'm genuinely expecting Mark Trail to start giving a lecture about pure strain gold or how the Earth is hollow and constantly expanding, or maybe just to spend a Sunday talking about how acid rain is a naturally occurring phenomenon and honest businesses are being smothered with unnecessary regulations by the tyrannical despots running the EPA.

Could it be that the Morgans have been taking advantage of these people in some kind of long con? If so, their nanny and babysitter have also gotten in on the action. This would explain a lot now that I think about it. Secret Agent X-9 Apartment 3-G I am honestly not sure who this is. It could be Tommie or the receptionist Lillian. I think it's Lillian, though.

Also deleting an email just sticks it in a trash folder for 30 days or something, and if you had the attachment open it's already downloaded anyway so it's just total tech illiteracy here.

Odonata posted:Moving. Spiritually enriching. Sublime. “High” art, or, Gasoline Alley Normally I ignore this comic (I thought it was dull if not creepy when I was a little kid, and yep, still do). This one caught my eye, and initially I went through the stages of on how Roman coins are dated and what a coin from the end of Nero's reign might actually be worth (at the low end of the scale, depending on metal, the most common from 64 would be about $3000 if in pristine condition and $500-$800 in beat-to-poo poo condition. Silver and gold would be more, obviously - Neronian coins tend to be sought after because 'He's the emperor who persecuted the Christians!' -- the same way Augustan coins are through the roof, because 'He's the emperor when baby Jebus was born!' at least according to my numismatist colleague.) Then I thought, fuckit, too much energy. Instead, here's an example from A. D. 64. Enjoy the Because of his Graecophilia he was depicted with a really-low slung neckbeard on a lot of his portraits; he was also made fun of for wearing his hair so long and curly on the nape of his neck, because that was partly another Greek style (frowned on by conservative Roman aristocrats) and also because it was a style for men much, much younger than Nero was in 64. Nero would make a terrific subject for a newspaper comic strip. Not a Ripley's type thing or a Priince Valiant thing. 'That's Our Nero' sort of thing.
