#450

New York, New England, New Hampshire, New Zealand… you’d think after going to the trouble and expense of discovering a place and having the opportunity to name it, you’d put a little imagination into it. Something like Superland or Death Zone 55.

You know that chart, the one that shows a chain of primates starting with a lemur and working it’s way through various slope-headed club wielders all the way up to a natty Modern Man in a blue suit with thin tie, you know that chart? Well in a few million years that chart will be much longer and we’ll just be version 17 out 1000. “Yes, and here is where they started using calculators”

Number 18 looks like Barbarella.


Barbarella didn’t need a calculator. Mathematics gets outlawed in 2112 when it begins to cause problems. A ten year old prodigy counted all the way to the end.

It’s infinity + 1 he says. Then he declared himself Boss of The World.

How were the first 17 males and then you get Barbarella? Or is she just a chick with a dick?

Wow, do chicks get dicks in 2112? It's a nice tradeoff for giving up math. I'd rather be able to pee standing up than have to add.

I only mentioned one male in a blue suit. 8/10 club wielders are women. I don't know about the lemurs. Probably clubs are too heavy for them.
