   I don’t know. I think a centaur might make a good center. He’d certainly jam up the lane and would probably draw a few extra fouls.

   Perhaps this was intentional. I propose two possible explanations: 1. Ruben is suggesting that the very idea of a human being living the virtuous and fulfilled life described is so fantastical that it would actually violate the laws of the universe. Including the incorrect formula of water is his somewhat subtle way of indicating what a farce this is. Just give up and draw Doug already! 2. Ruben is attempting to channel us into a new type of spirituality- he wants us to pray to God-man and demand He change the formula of water to O2H.

   The difference that stood out to me is that the bowling ball in the top panel is 11-3/4 lbs, and the one in the bottom panel is obviously 12 pounds. Now, can you find one difference in this comment?

   Make that: “…you’re going in the right direction.”

    What has been going on for “thousands of years” is irrelevant to the Constitution of a SECULAR government established within the last few centuries. Human sacrifice and witch burning went on for thousands of years, too, but we didn’t include those. We also eliminated monarchy as a form of government and that had been all the rage for millennia right up until our Constitution was written. So your arguments along those lines don’t even stand up to minimal scrutiny.And since we are fortunate in having secular governance, churches don’t make the laws. So they can’t determine what consenting adults can or can’t do (FYI, Ima, animals are NOT consenting adults, nor or gays “crazy.” Feel free to make your case for polygamy/polyandry, though).So if your goal is to make second class citizens of gays, agnostics, atheists, etc because of your intolerance of those who don’t share your particular house deity, your going in the right direction. But if you believe in the Constitution of these United States, pray to your house deity that Scalia is able to rally enough other primitive minds around him to protect your “thousands-of-years old” exclusive priviledges for a short time longer.
