That bot description is comedy gold, I think the page is already perfect. "It's a finger." 141.101.98.60 02:30, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
- Really, what more explanation do we need? 172.69.63.13 02:39, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
- The only thing I could see being added is if there is a sub joke regarding the historic 4th ave church being unusual. It might just be an unimportant detail, but most of Randell's jokes have something extra behind them.Andyd273 (talk) 03:28, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
The NAVY UFOs are the same type of feature; a little bug is inside the camera, sitting on the lens inside the aircraft window. You can see the insects feet, blurry, of course, and you can watch it turn around.172.69.35.186 02:48, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

The people in the comics are stick figures. Their limbs and appendages are simple lines. Why would they know that the blob in the image is a finger? That’s a construct for the 3D world of people.
Someone showed me a photo of a "spirit guide" - a strange glowing fuzzy orb, floating near a group of spiritually-minded people in a dim room. I thought a few minutes, threw a pinch of flour into the air in a dim room, took a flash photo, and there were dozens of little fuzzy orbs in the photo! 172.69.35.72 06:29, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
- That's why ghosts are white, obviously. They keep throwing flour around, and end up covering themselves. ;) 141.101.98.36 08:54, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
