Danae: Hey, Jeffrey...I've got an idea for a really good use of your time machine. Jeffrey: Oh, dear... Ok, before you go any further, ask yourself this...would your idea benefit the world or just you? Danae: You say that as if they're mutually exclusive. Jeffrey: Which pretty much answers the question...

“Go any FARTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Further and farther are NOT interchangeable. Farther is the comparative of far. Further is not the comparative of FUR.

Well Danae, really big decision time. Jeffrey is OK; but can she make the challenge?
erebrannor over 10 years ago

Actually, if Danae were to travel to a ‘forever summer’ time when school is not yet in session, it WOULD benefit people other than herself. Just a few of those who would benefit: the unlucky teacher who would have had Danae in class, and those kids in class who actually want to learn something…

I found an old Non Sequitur comic about Homer and Duncan, from September 13, 2009. I have a question about it -
Is it the first of that particular storyline? I need an answer ASAP.

If Jeffery has to ask the question……can he really NOT know what the answer is?

Trick question, even not answering is an answer.

Further, Farther, …thought I knew. Still went to the dictionary. … everyone arguing the point or the definition…. go to your separate corners. .Danae will be there soon enough to join you, if her dad finds out.

I still didn’t get an answer.
