Revised directive: It is forbidden for you to interfere with human history until you've at least taken a class on it.

== Description ==
In this comic, which I believe Randall created just to put in "BRB, Killing Hitler", [[Black Hat]] creates a one use time machine. [[Cueball]] selects the most common suggestion for Time Machine usage "Killing Hitler". Black Hat finally relents and goes to kill Hitler, however, he goes to the year 1945, when Hitler is already in his bunker. Hitler has already committed his atrocities and the war was already turning against him. Later in 1945, he reportedly died by suicide in that very same bunker. The joke in here being that he didn't save any lives or prevent the Holocaust or a global war by killing him in 1945 because he went back in time too late. He needed to go earlier, before his rise to power, like 1936. This is also the point of the image text, which states that you cannot travel back in time unless you know what you will occur.

== Image Text ==
With reasonable assumptions about latitude and body shape, how much time might she gain them? Note: whatever the answer, sunrise always comes too soon. (Also, is it worth it if she throws up?

== Description ==
Angular Momentum is the force upon an object having a certain velocity while spinning. You may remember the certain strain when a spinning yoyo returned into your hand, giving it that much "slip" to discomfort you. The energy of that momentum does that. Angular Momentum is also forced upon the Earth, as it is spinning 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This 24/7 rotation enables us to have a clock. Hence, we say that the Earth is running "clockwise".

In the comic, [[Megan]] tries to work against this (massive) energy. She is spinning counter-clockwise, thus generating energy to stop the Earth from moving. It is obvious that she (as one human being) will not succeed in stopping the Earth getting it's cycle, let alone she generates "clockwise" energy from the other half of her spin. But the romance part is also obvious. After all, who wouldn't want to be longer with the one they truly love?

[[Randall]] states the obvious in the Image Text: while not being able to reverse time, enjoy your night time. Sunrise comes too early.

== Image Text ==
As far as treachery-as-driving-music goes, Katamari music is matched only by Guitar Hero music.

== Description ==
The best way of explaining this comic is to explain the game [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katamari_Damacy Katamari Damacy], which [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5QPSvOsS8o music] is also referenced in frame 3. In the game, the player has to "cling" his initial object to smaller objects in the playfield in order to get larger as a whole. As clinging smaller objects progresses, the larger objects initially ignoring the central player object will cling to it (thus adding more points and progressing through the levels).

In the comic, [[Cueball]] is remembering this strategy by playing the game a lot, and drives his car into a mailbox, which he states "it looked smaller than me".

The Image Text instates that trusting your car to a person that is playing Katamari will surpass the chance of losing it to someone that is playing Guitar Hero. The latter will probably will rock your car to death while playing songs.

== Image Text ==
And she's gonna feel like a jerk when she realizes it was actually Under Pressure.

== Description ==
First, off for the comic. As we can see, [[Cueball]] declares his love for [[Megan]] in a very classical way by imitating the "balcony scene" from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Shakespeare William Shakespeare]'s book and play [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romeo_and_Juliet Romeo and Juliet]. In the play, Romeo and Juliet stem from rivalling families. Juliet gets an offer to marry a handsome prince, but refuses, as she knows Romeo. When Romeo goes to the rivalling families feast, and the two meet, they know their love cannot be out in the public. They both leave the feast depressed by this, but Romeo seeks an intimate way to continue to meet, which enters the "balcony scene". Romeo, with a mandoline, enters the family premises, takes place under Juliet's window and hears her whisper her longing for him. He then calls her name, and when she opens the doors, starts to play while declaring his love for her.

In the comic, we see an modern day version of that scene. Cueball is holding up a boombox (which, for the youngsters, was a kind of iPod weighing in at 50 pounds your parents carried around neighbourhood to get some music going) while declaring his love for Megan. She first is startled, then is despised by the 1990 hit single [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Ice_Baby Ice, Ice Baby] ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rog8ou-ZepE&ob=av2e Video]) by Vanilla Ice playing on the boombox. Cueball then admits he "is not good at this" which probably means he took a shot at copying the Balcony scene, but failed.

The "Under Pressure" in the image text refers to the fact that the music used in Ice, Ice Baby is a loop of the intro of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_Pressure "Under Pressure"] by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_(Band) Queen] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bowie David Bowie]. Which Cueball actually plays. Which is some sort of a rock classic. Which then would interfere with Megan's decision to abandon the balcony scene. Which she will feel bad of. Of some sorts.

Cueball is holding up a boombox (which, for the youngsters, was a kind of iPod weighing in at 50 pounds your parents carried around neighbourhood to get some music going) while declaring his love for Megan. She first is startled, then is despised by the 1990 hit single [http://en.wikipedia.org/Ice_Ice_Baby Ice, Ice Baby] by Vanilla Ice playing on the boombox. Cueball then admits he "is not good at this" which probably means he took a shot at copying the Balcony scene, but failed.

The image text refers to the fact that the music used in Ice Ice Baby is a loop of the intro of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_Pressure "Under Pressure"] by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_(Band) Queen] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bowie David Bowie]. Which is some sort of a rock classic. Which then would interfere with Megan's decision to abandon the balcony scene. Which she will feel bad of. Of some sorts.

== Image Text ==
And she's gonna feel like a jerk when she realizes it was actually Under Pressure.

== Description ==
First, off for the comic. As we can see, [[Cueball]] declares his love for [[Megan]] in a very classical way by imitating the "balcony scene" from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Shakespeare William Shakespeare]'s book and play [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romeo_and_Juliet Romeo and Juliet]. In the play, Romeo and Juliet stem from rivalling families. Juliet gets an offer to marry a handsome prince, but resigns. When Romeo goes to the rivalling families feast, and the two meet, they know their love cannot be out in the public. They both leave the feast depressed by this, but Romeo seeks an intimate way to continue to meet, which enters the "balcony scene". Romeo, with a mandoline, enters the family premises, takes place under Juliet's window and hears her whisper her longing for him. He then calls her name, and when she opens the doors, starts to play while declaring his love for her.

== Image Text ==
Your IDE's colors may vary.

== Description ==
The title of this comic refers to "Commenting", which is a way to add clarification to programming code. This is mostly done to make said code maintainable. Instead of all the dry programming statements, a coder can insert non-programming sections which clarify the way the programming statement, or combination of statements, is meant to work. This way, another coder that needs to update the code will have a better understanding of the structure and meaning of the code, which will allow him/her to implement the change faster. Also, comments are used to indicate changes to code, or comment out certain sections of code that went obsolete when revising the code into a newer version.

In the comic, [[Cueball]] is struck against [[BlackHat]]'s [[Classhole]] attitude. This time, when asking a favor, BlackHat simply "comments out" Cueball's request by holding up two fingers in a skewed way. They then correspond to one way of adding comments to code, namely by two forward slashes ("//").

The Image Text refers to most modern Integrated Development Environments (or IDE's) that colorcode different sections in the code, such as variables, loops and nested statements, to add readability. Green, I suppose, is one way to color comments. Hence, the color may vary on which IDE you use (and offcourse, your own preferences set in that IDE).

== Image Text ==
I've looked into this, and I can't figure out a way to do it cheaply. And I guess it wouldn't be sanitary.

== Description ==
[[Randall]] is playing with the child/grownup setup again. As we all know, our parents are defining our adulthood. Many of times, they do that by saying "That's only for grownups" (for instance, while taking controlled substances like alcohol, or smoking). At other times, you (as a child) get to hear "We don't do that anymore, we're grownups now" (for instance, playing at a playground). [[Megan]] has taken these thoughts seriously, and now she has defined her adulthood by creating a playpen in her apartment, going against the latter statement. [[Cueball]] also finds this definition great, as he comes into the playpen, and (I suppose) adulthood and childhood melt together, judging by the love heart.

The Image Text reveals that [[Randall]] also would like to own his playpen, but he finds it expensive to buy, and also hard to keep clean. Which is a fact. Most public playpens contain over 100 different samples of urine, as many children play in them, among which many toddlers.
