71.225.14.203: /* What can we learn from this? */

A lot of Randall's recent comics are quite poetic. It's like some kind of trend. '''[[User:Davidy22|Davidy²²]]'''[[User talk:Davidy22|<tt>[talk]</tt>]] 05:14, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Is this a Terminator reference? (Never seen the movies) [[User:Alpha|Alpha]] ([[User talk:Alpha|talk]]) 05:20, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
:Yeah, it probably is. '''[[User:Davidy22|Davidy²²]]'''[[User talk:Davidy22|<tt>[talk]</tt>]] 11:26, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
:And you should see them sometime. They're pretty good. (The first two.) [[Special:Contributions/67.51.59.66|67.51.59.66]] 22:48, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

==What can we learn from this?==
I've learned that death is the only certainty in life, until we develop technology to avoid that. Until that time we should just relax and enjoy the adventure, even if we find ourselves in the scary movie sometimes, as a human race we will come out fine at the end. - e-inspired [[Special:Contributions/24.51.197.187|24.51.197.187]] 19:01, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
:Yes, if we colonize in a distant star system that just happens to have an Earth-like planet before our sun dies, and even then, the universe will die, be it by the Big Rip, Big Crunch, Big Freeze, or just heat death, and even if it is revived in a Big Bounce, all of human achievement will have been lost and the short-lived activity on the skin of a tiny rock orbiting a tiny star in a tiny galaxy will have been for nothing. It really sucks, too, since we've done so much, including developing multiple theories on our ultimate fate and the possible values of certain variables that would cause each one.

71.225.14.203:

An obvious reference to death itself, which stalks everyone, usually for decades. This is a "memento mori". [[Special:Contributions/75.103.23.206|75.103.23.206]] 17:33, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
:Is this a reference to Dr. Who's [[wikia:tardis:Weeping Angels|Weeping Angels]], who also (in a different way) hunt by having their victims live to death? [[Special:Contributions/23.19.87.80|23.19.87.80]] 04:01, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
::I doubt it. While there is definitely a similarity, it seems like too much of a stretch to have been intentional. [[Special:Contributions/71.225.14.203|71.225.14.203]] 00:26, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
