What Makes A Man

Today's comic is the result of many sources colliding. First, there is my brother's love of giant robots. He felt 666 needed a better body, and he's right. Second, there's the Star Trek: TNG episode "The Measure of a Man", which got me thinking of Commander Data's youngest years, when he was learning about humans and their basic functions. I am an unrepentant geek. Lastly, looking at spam subjects and seeing just how many of them were for penis enhancement, and thinking what effect that might have on misguided little 666. This is a cathartic way to flush these thoughts from my busy mind.

Tom DeLay is crumbling, Rove got pulled back in to grand jury inquiry, karma is rearing its lethargic, drooling head and making a few token gestures before going back to sleep for another hundred years. We will never be able to erase the damage our past has done to us, but some itches need scratching and that's why I'm a liberal idealist twit.

Got an A on my paper about how the Puritan Sepratists we glorified in folklore and school plays are actually responsible for causing the destabalization and gradual destruction of an entire culture. An overwhelmingly socialist culture. All because they had to do 'Good Works' (read: 'make money' and that's a matter of historical certitude, as that's what militant Calvanists at the time thought would qualify you for heaven) and 'tame the savage land'.

Okay. On the verge of a very long rant there, with nothing most of you don't already know. So I'm just going to force my feverish brain to sleep.
