Mmmmmyep.
So, did you know that a common cold can cause an auditory nerve infection? I did not. But guess what?
Yeah, that’s right.
It’s actually not as bad as it sounds – I’m not in the hospital or anything. It’s painful, though, and I’ve gone partially deaf in one ear – temporarily, they believe. Everyone is confident that with a cocktail of antibiotics and such, I’ll be fine in a week, though. I’m doing my utmost to keep up my responsibilities, but this is just so you know – if you don’t hear from me (ha!) that’s what’s going down. It’ll take more than this to stop me!
For now, I have pills to take and sleeping to do. All the best, folks!
Feel better. The comic rocks.
Thanks, man. They gave me the medical equivalent of a bug bomb to take, and it’s tough stuff, but I already feel a bajillion times better. Give me a week and I’ll be back to my usual nonsense I’m sure!
May the power of antibiotic regimes compell you! 🙂
Why build one Skynet when you can build two!
Get well soon
If you only build one, that’ll just make the enemy mad. Build more than one, and you can really kick him while he’s down.
To borrow a famous quote – “Yeah, this just keeps getting better and better ….”
To borrow an equally famous quote – “You gotta be fucking kidding…”
To borrow one that can equal both “I’ve got bad feelings about this” 😛

A failsafe hidden in MIKE’s subconciousness. Obviously with a death-wish or self-destructive streak.
Or someone else launched those missiles…
The plot thickens, as they say.
Why, by the way? Is it a soup metaphor?
Gruel, I believe, or any liquid that thickens as it cooks.
I forgot how big Mike is. Daaaamn.
Yeah, the UNA definitely believes “Bigger is Better,” at least as far as tanks are concerned. 😉
It’s not the siz that matters, but how you use it. Everyone knows that u.u
Sibling rivalry or hostile takover?
Little of both, probably
Heh.
“I’m going somewhere with this,” is my old refrain… 😉
I just realised one thing: Didn’t Haulley command his engineers to have MIKE’s memory whiped and reinstalled…?
Wasn’t this was caused MIKE to defend himself and start acting independently?
They *were* going to wipe him, but (shades of “2001”) Mike found out and called them on it. Since then, nobody has been able to get their grubby hands on Mike’s brain. Whether this is good or bad, I can’t tell; Mike’s been more than a little wonky for a while now (SEE: causing a global thermonuclear war). 🙂
Atomic. But “the night is young,” as they say. 😉
Interestingly, an atomic war, though radically destructive, would be an order of magnitude less destructive than a genuine thermonuclear war, mainly because of the power of H-bombs to loft dust and radioactive materials far into the stratosphere, where it would remain for far longer, causing damage for many years after the event.
Funny thing is, we never had such a war (knock on wood – I’m looking at YOU, Nuclear Club!) but the Bomb still has radically altered our atmosphere and biosphere just from tests we’ve carried out. When I was studying archaeology, we learned about a standard called “Absolute Now,” which I think is called “Archaeological Present” these days, which is January 1, 1950. Beyond that point, radioactive material so pollutes the archaeological record that we can no longer radiocarbon date things accurately. So when we figure out how old something is, it’s “how old it is before 1950.” Pretty wacky.
Where was I going with that? I’m not sure. I’m on a lot of medications right now. But I’m sure there was something to that. 😉
An evil twin enters the fray
