I find that first picture visually confusing, but still pretty sweet.

Besides, this is also pure comic geekery if you remember the bit in Watchmen where Dr. Manhattan and...argh, I forget her name...are flying to that very volcano in the watch-gear ship.

I could have taken a photo of Maryland State Highways, Photoshop it a little to give it the redness....and saved Europe a hell of a lot of money.

That looks like the Baltimore/Washington Parkway right where it comes into Balitmore by Camden Yards.

Why the moon? Let's go to Mars now!

Okay, here's your question Ned: Would you agree to go to Mars on a one-way trip? They would send you as the first representative to Mars, but you couldn't return... you would die on mars, in all your interplanetary glory and splendor. Would you do it?
(I think I would.)

Coincidence? I think not.

― ModJ (ModJ), Friday, 13 February 2004 19:35 (twenty-two years ago)

totally!

also, Ned, what ten records are you going to take???

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 13 February 2004 19:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I would, if i knew Earth was ultimately fucked in a very short time period. What's the better way to lose?

Will you take a gun with one bullet?

Would you agree to go to Mars on a one-way trip?

And miss going home for Christmas?

(Assuming I have no surviving relatives and all my friends hate me, sure! Fuck the earth!)

also, Ned, what ten records are you going to take???

Fuck that. I want the mother of all iPods and a direct uplink with Earth for new downloads.

Only if I could bring along my fully functional instant city.
