MythTickle by Justin Thompson for December 05, 2008

She’s an African goddess named Dziva. You can Google her.

Cautionary tail: I wasn’t a rat until I googled the wrong goddess.

KingRat - Yeppers, those goddesses can be a fickle lot. LOL

KingRat - that was GOOGLE, not OGLE.

I feel for the first kite-eating tree that tries to grab off HER kite.

King Rat FTW!

Kingrat, at least you got to google her first…

Roger, but not THAT one, the other one. says: KingRat - that was GOOGLE, not OGLE.

I’ve always felt that google sounded much more depraved than ogle.

KingRat says:

“Roger, but not THAT one, the other one. says: “‘KingRat - that was GOOGLE, not OGLE.’

“I’ve always felt that google sounded much more depraved than ogle.”

Hey, if the original (math) definition of google was 10^100 (1 with 100 zeros), doesn’t that make a google 10 million billion gazillion (approzimately) times as big as a mere ogle?

All this talk makes me boogle

Actually the math term is “googol”.

… which is unfortunate for those of us guilty of puns. You get extra points for extra layers, but the spellings have to be correct.

pschearer, It looks like your avatar indicates that you are a Tom Corbett, Space Cadet fan. Eh?

pschearer says:

“Actually the math term is ‘googol’.”

And here I hoped nobody would notice.

Oral puns are almost always the best. Also the response. A written groan just isn’t the same.

Lazarus: While I certainly enjoyed “Tom Corbett, Space Cadet” when I was a kid, my avatar is Flash Gordon as portrayed by Buster Crabbe.

As an old (and I mean OLD) scifi fan, I appreciate both your avatar and the Heinlein reference of your username. I started out loving RAH but lost interest with the drugged-out hippie “Stranger in a Strange Land” and the later stories with the preoccupation with time-traveler incest.

But let’s not let this discussion distract from what a great cartoonist Justin is.
