   These guys sound like they are from Lowest Slobbovia, or Pottsylvania.

   Maybe fix so Xaxos think he in Startrek movie, but first teach crew grammar.

   hit Xaxos on the head with something that may help him. I worked for my old tv and old computers.

   Judging by how these guys talk, Xaxos will probably sound brilliant to them.

   I thought Jay and Ted gave us a glimmer of Xaxos starting to regain logic in Sunday’s strip when, during this exchange, he strung bits together to make a little joke:

   Xaxos: Into the valley of death rode the six hundred! But someone had blundered!
   Shaved head stooge: Oho! Does you like Kipling?
   Xaxos: I don’t know – I never kippled! Yuk yuk yuk!

   Little doubt ‘Ol Tinhead will be a threat once again – perhaps with a twist of unpredictability that makes him a new kind of challenge to Warbucks.

    This is where Robot Sandy’s trainer tells the sub crew to use the head of Xaxos as a paper weight.

    Last year i was hiking and jumped inot a lake forgetting my digital camera and cigarettes and wallet wree in my pockets. After a 20 minute swim, a shocking realazation, and a long hike home, i learned a lot about water damage to circuits.

    20 minutes in FRESH water killed my camera. Actaully i should nt have turned it on as that permantly killed it cause it fried the circuit board. I should have left it completley off and THEN stuck it in a container of rice hoping the rice would absorb the moister (internet trick i learned). Water does a number on electricity, as for Salt water, then your completly screwed.

    This xaxos thing ,whatever the hell it is, shouldnt work. They should sell it on ebay like i did with my camera and hope to get lucky selling it for 38 bucks to a camera parts store for parts.

    sirbutlust: sorry to hear about your misfortune. However, it is quite possible to make circuit boards that can withstand salt water for some time. A technique called “conformal coating” puts a watertight epoxy skin over every component and circuit lead and land and all solder joints on the board. Connectors can be waterproofed also. The military does this all the time. Some of their radios are required to survive being submerged for at least a short while.
    Even so-called “fresh” water is full of ions that will mess up a naked circuit quite badly if you turn it on.
    So if Xaxos’ creators wanted to go to some trouble, they could make him tough against immersion, shock, vibration, and even nuclear radiation using well-known techniques.
