Waffles have more oil and less liquid; although pancake batter can be used to make waffles they won’t be the same as proper waffle batter (and vice-verse)
Next he’ll be saying that raisins and grapes are the same food or grape juice and wine are the same, or better yet that beer is just wet bread. Ha some people think we are sooooo gullible.
Tomatoes and rubarb are imposters. Rubarb is a vegetable, pretending to be a fruit, and a tomato is a fruit pretending to be a vegetable….KingRat, if wine and grape juice are the same, guess which one I would chose…
Kudos TR for a great strip. Tying the interest in unif’ied theory to conspiracy theories is funny and brilliant. As I’ve been reading along I’ve been trying to list out the theories but I missed the great waffle/pancake deception!
Great punch line.
Think what that will do to the economy when all the Pancake Houses and Waffle Houses around the country have to close and merge.
But if we can get grape juice from grapes, but not raisins (because they’re dried grapes), how come we can get prune juice from prunes (which are dried plums), but we can’t have plum juice? How does that conspiracy tie in?
My favorite conspiracy is why the Original Klingons didn’t have brow ridges but all the later ones did .. even the original ones shown later on DS9 had brow ridges.
Tomatoes and rubarb are imposters. Rubarb is a vegetable, pretending to be a fruit, and a tomato is a fruit pretending to be a vegetable…
The tomato is a vegetable by act of the US government. Somewhere in the mass of regulations governing agriculture and trade, the tomato is officially listed as a vegetable, and in the parallel universe defined by the Law, that’s what it is.
Remember, this is the same government that once upon a time entertained a motion to define pi as 3.00.
And gillbillvolume1, is this what you’re looking for?
Re gillbill: in Captain Kirk’s time, we weren’t on good terms with the Klingon Empire & had to use human actors. They still use Vulcans for the Romulan roles.
Yes, the Klingons got jealous of “inferior” Humans like Khan Noogian Singh (not him specifically to my knowledge, just genetically enhanced people of his sort who were both stronger and smarter than the Klingons). They tried to get the same genetic enhancement and ended up looking Human as a side effect.
As I recall, the one behind those enhancements was the one who eventually built Lore, Data and B-4, all androids. The same actor played all four, Brent Spiner.
(Sorry, fellow Trekkies, for not remembering the scientist’s name, but I never got to watch those particular episodes all the way through! The lowdown on all of this is on STARTREK.com somewhere…)
Close and merge? Nonsense. At some level’s they’re at war, but on other levels they are the same. (If you’ve never seen Conspiracy Theory, rent it ASAP)

lewreader, you said you weren’t going to make any political comments!… you are waffling again
Coyoty Premium Member almost 15 years ago
And Canadian bacon isn’t bacon, either. It’s… Ham!
Waffles are pancakes, polenta is cornbread, Rocky Mountain oysters aren’t seafood… Thank God we don’t have anything to worry about Soylent Green.

The Klingons without brow ridges were explained in Star Trek Enterprise as the result of some sort of experiment gone wrong.
