The American 5th amendment (as seen on TV) allows someone in court to refuse to answer a question, if that answer would incriminate themselves.

The Canadian constitution is far less interesting than the US one. Most of our amendments are about how seats should be divided in parliament, or including the younger provinces in older legislation. And, of course, the one that says a bridge can be built to PEI.

Our constitution also causes a lot less trouble than some others.

I skipped #264 as it was just not interesting enough to repost.

I really need to find more reasons to being out the Atheist High-Priest in this comic. he’s one of my favourite characters. Of course, in a world where magic is a real thing, it would be the same as science. The question then becomes: what sort of nonsense would people have to invent to replace pseudo-science (psuedo-magic)?

I have no idea how I made those special effects. At the time, it was so obvious and then 12 years later it’s lost technology.

#261:

Not really relevant for the re-posting. And yes, I know that climate change causes more snow. I’m not an expert on the science, but I think the basic idea is that more heat in the system means more water evaporates into the air, and then it all falls on my driveway.

This is the first one posted primarily on WordPress and copied to tumblr. Anyone interested in following permanently may want to bookmark vindalf.home.blog. If I can ever remember how to html, then it might be a better home for my comic.

1 0000 0000! Round numbers look so much better in binary!

Did you ever stop to think how much time passes during adventures that we never bother to see on screen? Lord of the Rings gave us a decent idea of how much walking there was, and the book definitely conveys how getting anywhere takes forever.

Even in sci-fi get actually get worse. Alpha Centauri is 18hrs away from earth at warp 6. I did the calculations, and ran the simulator at university. You could throw in entire other adventures en route to the neutral zone.

I should start making my players roll against boredom on a long march.

But seriously: I can totally understand how Donatello found a stick, and where Mikey found some smaller sticks and string… Raph is pushing it, but the sai could be welded from rebar if they have a forge. But a matched set of katana? Splinter must have stolen them from above. That rat!
