Rockwood: The Rockwood Mailbag.

The Rockwood Mailbag

Express yourself!

Have you always wanted to let Team Rockwood know just what you were thinking? Do you wonder why the panels of the strip are laid out horizontally instead of vertically? Or do you have sensitive documents that will bring down the government? In any case, we want to know! Just fill out your name and e-mail address, then let 'er rip! No question or comment is too bizarre for Team Rockwood to take a stab at, and if we can get enough mail coming in, this page will be updated weekly! (Unlike the old mailbag page, which got updated about four times in two years.)

So consider this an experiment in web interactivity. Or, consider it a way to artificially inflate our hit count. Either way, just write in!

		July 29, 2004 What do the Olympic rings stand for? --?
		Well, mystery person, you could always listen to the official line, which is unity, and representing the world, and harmony, and blah blah blah... However, we've been to enough Olympics now to know what those rings really stand for: Money. Great big Olympic-sized piles of it. In effect, the Olympic rings are the Olympic bling. Don't worry, Olympics! We still love you! And we'll be foolishly taking you on again in the 2004 version of the Rockwood Olympic Watch. Watch for it soon!
		July 29, 2004 >Two moons? We can only assume that haiku number one comes from Mars... Ahhh... But didn't you know the earth has always had two moons? Cruithne, the second moon, was discovered back in 1986. I also remember hearing on NPR last year that a third moon was discovered... Despite all that, I think the haiku is actually referring to the fact that this July has ("had" by the time the mail bag is read) two full moons! We had a full moon on July 2nd and there is (was) one on the 31st too! --Brian Layman
		Excellent analysis, Mr. Layman! We happen to like another one better (you'll see that one on the upcoming Haiku Thursday), but your idea is still better than ours. And knowing there are two more Earth moons out there gives us hope that maybe someday Rockwood will get a patch of its own.
		July 30, 2004 Hey Team Rockwood! Just a reminder that the correct quote is "Blue...no, YELLOW!" But anyway, keep up the good work! You guys are doing a terrific job. Best wishes to Brian's recovery. --Joe
		Great googly moogly, Joe, you're right! We've been outgeeked! And here we thought we knew the words to every Monty Python routine. We're so ashamed!
		August 2, 2004 "Two rely on your input", huh? Are you looking for people to impersonate you and do your PT? :) --mikki
		Wrong two choices, Mikki, although Brian would love it if someone else could actually do the PT so he didn't have to.
		August 2, 2004 Hi, I have a question about KHAN. I was surfing around your website when I saw the following description for Khan in the Who's Who section, which states, "Fortunately for all the humans on the station, KHAN had Asimov's "robot code" programmed into him first." However, in the July 21st comic strip, KHAN states that there is a loophole that causes KHAN not to have the robotic laws programmed into him. How do you explain this inconsistency, or is KHAN just plain wrong? (And if he is wrong, shouldn't he self destruct or is that a different kind of space machine?) --Michael P.S. Another T-shirt Idea is one depicting Khan who is saying, "Eat Banana Death, Humans!" or maybe saying the Marvin the Martian slogan, "Where's the Kaboom, there was supposed to be a Kaboom?"
		Uh... well... ummm.... maybe he was bluffing? Okay, you caught us. We're not reading our own stuff. How sad. We can't even outgeek ourselves. But banana death? Is that anything like a banana phone? We didn't think so. And we don't think we're going to tempt Warner Brothers lawyers, either, so using Marvin's slogan is right out.
