   That is the more preferred rendering of the passage, but the original King James did just say, “For the love of money is the root of all evil …”. Obviously, not all evil is driven by the love of money, but much is.

   A few people have mentioned her role as Roberta Lincoln in Star Trek’s Assignment: Earth, but nobody’s mentioned that she played Phoebe’s mother in Friends.

   I figured it was just a typo. There’s a saying that you can’t comment on a grammatical / spelling mistake without making one of your own!

   The full, proper title is only used in formal settings. Before he was King Charles III, Charles, Prince of Wales was regularly referred to as Prince Charles, even in the UK. Princess Diana was referred to that way as well.

   By the way, since we’re being pedantic, it’s “faux pas”. Also, “mothers-in-law” is the correct pluralization.

   I don’t that your math holds up that well. If Agnes is around 10, then for her grandmother to be in her 40s would mean she was in her 30s when Agnes was born, which means she and her offspring would have had to be late teens or very early twenties. Not impossible, but not that likely. If she was 25 when her daughter/son (do we know which ir is?) was born, and Agnes was born 25 years later, then by the time Agnes is 10, Granma would be 60.

   I’m 62 and my oldest grandchild is 4, which puts me in line with what Cozmik Cowboy says.

   However, the original comment on this thread would be off. Grandma would be 60-70 and her photo would be from 40-50 years ago, most likely.

   They look pretty ripe to me.

   We’re the Ghoooost Busters! I still remember that from the theme song.

   I think this whole arc is devoted to the passing of Kris Kristofferson.

   And it was on the set of The Big Bang Theory.

    I remember when this strip first ran. It was right after a major power outage through a the northeast and part of the midwest US, and parts of Ontario as well. At one point, a US senator (I think) suggested that the problem originated in Canada, but that was proved false, with the trouble actually starting in the Cleveland area. (this comes up in another strip this week). It lasted between 2 hours and 3 days, depending on where you were. The lack of ink was a parody of the lack of power.
