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!

Actually, the 1/0 and 0/0 explanations are simplifications. Calculus uses them all the time, but as limits to 1/x as x-->0. Even better, the part about infinity + infinity "being nonsense" is not true. Look up Cantor's work on the cardinality of infinities. Big, big numbers, and good explanations for 2*infinity and infinity*infinity.
--Bah!

We thought you were nuts, Bah, but we tried your crazy math theories at our local fast food restaurant, and the cashier was so confused she gave us 2*infinity dollars back as change. Thanks!

Dude,
2005 calendars? T-shirts? I got money to spend and you aren't making it any easier for me to let go of it.

We're really not making it easier, are we Impatient? Well, it's almost November, and with the Christmas shopping season right around the corner, we think you'll be happy then. Keep watching!

Oh come on, what's wrong with Father of the Pride?

Nothing, except that it's not funny, has falling ratings, and costs a fortune to make. But other than that, it's swell. Just don't expect to see a second season on DVD anytime in the future.

Words. Words. And more words. All questionable. Neither candidate has the better resume.
Since Rockwood bowed out this time, maybe Nader is the best bet.

Even bowed out, Rockwood is a better candidate now than Nader ever will be.

What operating system is KHAN running off of? I would have assumed Linux, due to its security; since it's a CIA weapons platform, I'm certain security would be a priority. But given his drive to make life miserable for all human denizens of the station, it would seem more likely that he's powered by something Microsoftian. On the other hand, he doesn't seem to ship with any kind of Solitaire knowledge, so maybe he's a Mac. What is it?

Excellent question, Ryan! Although KHAN does play some basic games, since he doesn't need a security update every two weeks he's obviously not a Windows product. Also, since he gets the latest software updates in a timely fashion, he can't be a Mac. And since he's not spending every waking minute telling everyone why he's really superior to everyone else, he's clearly not Linux-based.
So we don't know which OS KHAN uses, Ryan. But really, isn't that sort of a relief? After all, do you want a commercially-available OS that's trying to kill you?
