<p>Jestorg: Fights for supremacy among the branches of science.</p> <hr /> <div>This comic references to multiple memes:<br /> <br /> 1) The Cephalopod Revolution with there many appendages, distance communication, mimicry and camouflage, they present the greatest threat to mankind of the classes of animals. The cuttlefish is a Cephalopod. It is also slightly ironic to be attacked by a cuttlefish, because it sounds like 'cuddle fish'. <br /> <br /> 2) There is some rivalry among the main branches of science, with various statements meant to show one's one to be superior or more important and deserved of funding. <br /> <br /> 3) The ALT text - CS stands for Computer science. The robot revolution like in Terminator. Or possibly the Matrix. Maybe even I, Robot. At some point after robots become a part of everyday life, they will become self-aware, and either for our or their protection, will enslave humanity, possibly as an energy source (not really sure how that works, Matrix).</div>
