If someone were to print out a spam email which they received with a 3D printer, they would get a large 3D plastic penis, if the email contained a 3D model fo a penis as the comic suggests.<br /> <br /> In the title text, Better Homes and Gardens is an American magazine that, as the name suggests, shows you how to make your home and garden better often by reusing common household items in new and innovative ways.<br /> <br /> Also in the image text, {{w|Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene}} (or ABS) is a light-weight and moldable plastic which makes it perfect for 3D printers.<br /> <br /> ==Transcript==<br /> :[Two people before a 3D printer, one with a wrench.]<br /> :Cueball: 3D printers are getting incredible.<br /> :Ponytail: I think we're not far from widespread deployment.<br /> <br /> :Ponytail: And you know what that means.<br /> <br /> :Cueball: Spam containing actual enlarged penises?<br /> :Ponytail: I give it a week.<br /> <br /> {{comic discussion}}<br /> [[Category:Comics featuring Cueball]]<br /> [[Category:Comics featuring Ponytail]]</div>
