I can only presume that we're going to be saccharined to death over the next few months. Woemachine.

I shouted out "Yaaay!!" like a little girl when I read it. =) I'm glad! I bet Ozy and Millie will be very happy when they become siblings!! This is quite awesome, in my opinion.

Lol at all the people who come out of inactivity to post in this thread.

My mind upon reading the strip:

Thought one: "Woah..."
Thought two: "Eh, not entirely unexpected, given that he's trying to tie up loose ends. Wonder where it'll go from here."
Thought three: "...I wonder how many pages of discussion there are on DC about it already XD"

What?

Light travels at 18,000 miles per second.

You mean 186,000 miles per second?

Only in a vacuum.

In what medium does light travel at only 18,000 miles per second? In air it's traveling only slightly slower than 186,000 miles per second, right?

DCS stole this idea from us guys :(

[gforce422]

Yeah. Cool stuff, that. Slowing down, and even stopping light. Absolutely amazing.

But what I was wondering is, under normal circumstances, when would light travel at only 18,000 miles a second? Sorry if I sound like an idiot about this, just wanting to know for my benefit. And if I'm ever on Jeopardy.

Anywhere where there is matter.

Light speed is only constant in a vacuum. In this case, light travels at 18,000 miles a second in a nuclear reactor.

Ohhhhhh, okay. Thanks!

I don't know how I feel about this yet... I'm... in the middle. I didn't want Ozy and Millie romantically involved so this solves that... but I didn't want those two to get married.... or maybe I did... I dunno. Why not I guess?... I wonder if this'll be the last story arc

[GamemasterAnthony]

Boy, THIS is going to tick off all those people that came up with Ozy/Millie pairings. As for me, my reaction was...

*insert MASSIVE COFFEE SPITTAKE OF DOOM here*

That was akward when Ms.mudd said she wants to get married like it was nothing.

Because she knew Llewellyn was too much of a gentleman to ask.

[Acid!]

This puts a corkscrew in the Ozy/Millie pairing but since Ozy and Millie act like a brother and sister more often then a girlfriend and boyfriend it will probably work out better in the long run for them.
