SIR:
Slander! Calumny! I shall not lie idly by in my grave and allow my profligate clothes-horse of a son usurp the credit for the loss of the colonies (scroll to fourth letter). It was I, George the Third, King of Great Britain and King of Ireland who sent that fop Cornwallis to get his @#$@ kicked by a pack of militiamen. Argle-bargle!
Additionally, "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" lacks an "s".
--George III

His highness is correct, as last week's Team Rockwood factcheckers apparently took the week off. Not only did we identify the wrong King George (in our defense, there are six of them to choose from), but we mistakenly typed "jumped" instead of the correct "jumps," which would have truly given us all 26 letters.

Well I guess my friend has a reason for being named Apple (scroll to fourth letter) as she is related to Sir Isaac Newton her full name is Apple Newton Smith. The Smith name comes from the Reverend Smith who married Isaac's mother 3 years after his father died. Can't wait till she has grandkids and we can call her Granny Smith ;-)

How appropriate, Simon. Since one of Newton's laws is "every action has an opposite and equal reaction," young Apple can learn all about physics! Here, the "action" is Apple's parents naming her after a fruit. The "opposite reaction" is everyone in school making fun of Apple's name for the next twelve years. Your daughter will thank you, Gwyneth!

Okay, I've had my coffee this morning. However, even with the use of legal stimulants I didn't get the "snakes on a plain" joke. After extensive research (okay, 3 minutes) I found the Samuel L. Jackson thing. I agree with Kepler on this one. Ouch.

What's to get? It's a movie, a description, and a catch phrase all in one! Our prediction? Snakes on a Plane? Biggest. August. Movie. EVER.

"a message"
There ya go. Never let it be said that I'm not an obedient reader. But Team Rockwood should know that none of my friends are impressed by my posts to Rockwood, except the Star Wars report. Do I need new easily impressed friends?
Team Rockwood should check out this great 80's fill-in-the-blank lyrics site. I scored a 115! Sadly, that didn't impress my friends either. :(
--Mikki
P.S. I have said how much I love Rockwood lately? The site rocks, the comic's fabulous and Team Rockwood knows funny. Great job Team!!

We're impressed, Mikki, but rather than change friends, why not just educate them on what's funny? For instance, instead of showing them your humorous posts, you could just yell Snakes On A Plane!! Laughter is guaranteed!

Ok, So i'm dumb as a rock. I still don't get it. Don't tell me. If you have to tell someone how to get a joke, it loses its punch. I'll keep thinking about it.

Even though we don't know which strip you're talking about, Jim, we can explain easily explain it using four simple words:
Snakes on a plane!! See? It works for anything!
