in which an excess intake of Dino Comics may have deleterious effects on the protagonist's sanity

Jul 24, 2008 15:52

Interesting series of comics on dinosaurcomics this week. T-Rex mentions Herostratus, the arsonist who burned down the Temple of Artemis (among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World). He was executed and the rest of the Greeks forbidden to say his name. T-Rex therefore infers that anyone who speaks of him is a "suck[y] Greek."

The next day, however, we're reminded that five such Wonders were destroyed naturally. T-Rex takes the Utahraptor's premise that earthquakes are "acts of God" and concludes that "God is like Herostratus times...five!"

So, does that mean that people who throw around God's name (as T-Rex does in that same panel) are five times "suckier Greeks"?

Also, for being penned by a Canadian author (qwantz), T-Rex is surprisingly U.S.-centric. Although the wonders all existed between Greece, Asia Minor, Egypt, and Babylon, he refers to the group as... "Wobbley Times USA"?
