In Issue 7, Neil had a copy of "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court." Now he has a copy of "Roughing It," also by Mark Twain. Why is Neil carrying around a library of Mark Twain books? Is he a big Mark Twain fan? Did he have an English Report about Twain that he was working on? How many books does he have? He's got an iPod. How is he keeping that charged? They do make backpacks with solar panels that charge iPods. That would be a cool, fortuitous piece of technology to have with you if you got sucked through a singularity! What else was he carrying? A cell phone? A blackberry or palm pilot? A calculator? A bottle of Asprin? A Bic lighter?
Is the "Anicle" comment just a joke? A slam on the sage? I thought the "Anicle" was that strange metal, covered spittoon-thing on the table. What is that thing? Does that just hold the Chex Mix? Does the sage really get his info playing Jacks? Or are those twenty-sided dice he's tossing?
How did the Helmut adapt the motorcycle engine to a squadron of fighter planes SO fast? Where did they get the fuel? How did they train the pilots? Are the Helmut able to generate singularities that warp space and time? Can they stop time, so they can have busy elves pop out tons of planes, seemingly overnight? Could the singularity Neil fell through be an escaped bubble of that? I still don't see where they got the raw materials? Where did they get the technology to refine the fuel? You can't copy that from a broken dirt bike. Can you?
Seriously. I'm confuddled.
