Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 11, 2011
Transcript:
Joe: Danae has been awfully quiet... what's she up to, Kate? Kate: Trying to win half a million dollars. Joe; OK... what is it this time? Kate: A contest by the Pentagon for a feasible idea on hos people could travel to another solar system. Joe: I guess it sounds pretty harmless... but still... Kate: I'm banking on the word "feasible" as a safety net.

What happened to fixing my wireless phone signal?

Half a million dollars isn’t enough for Danae. It would cramp her style, make her cranky…just like dad!

More Kate! Good kids have stories, too! Besides, I’d love to see Kate’s dark side….I know she has one….

Her dark side mainly involves baiting Danae.

Hmmm, way to go getting our minds ticking over to find a down side to what Danae is doing… Don’t worry, I can always find the negative in any positive situation!

Just imagine being the father of those two girls who will be in their teens one day…..

Ironically, time travel and friends from Mars are feasible.

Lighten up Dad, if Danae finds a way she’ll be in another star (not solar) system and you may be able to pocket the royalties!

If I remember my pulp fiction cover art from the 50s (note to self, spend afternoon in attic), interstellar travel is not only feasible, it will become an everyday occurrence. Remember to wear your round plastic space head protector, round bracelet thingies,, and little else so you will be able to blast your ray gun. Young girls in their twenties needed now. Tans a must.

Interstellar travel for 500K? Feasable? Touche’ Wiley.

A feasible idea from Danae hardly seems likely.

Star Trek…….only a fantasy……say it ain’t so!!
Sandfan over 13 years ago
Unfortunately, feasible is not in Danae’s vocabulary.

You could build a bridge. But the traffic jams would slow everything down.

Just rent space on the Russians’ spacecraft.

Toss up which is harder: finding decent, safe, fast space travel or being Danae’s father or sister. At least there are other people working on the first problem. Danae’s a new frontier only they get to try to conquer.

If SCIENCE says someting is possible, Most often it’s correct.

hi speed internet. what a joke. you can get household broadband at 1 to 1.5 gigabits for around 60 euros in many metro france and italian areas. the best they can do around here is about 5 megabits for about 60 bux. that’s just barely at the definition of broadband. pitiful. cellphone? i live 500 feet from a tower, and can’t rely on it. fantasy is right.

dfowensby,I know that some countries have better internet speed than we do, but I have 22 Meg down and 2 Meg up without speed boost. At speedtest.net with speed boost I’m getting about 28 Meg down and 4 up at about the price you mentioned. My ISP offers up to 105 Meg down if you want to pay for it. By the way, I’m in South Florida.

I finally figured out what happened to Victoria….she was based on someone actually in Wiley’s life, and she left him. Been about a year since we’ve seen her.
