No worries, I have fat-fingered a few peeps. I think it is harder on your feelings than mine.

Gee, since nobody likes me hear, I need an ego boost...

The weight of the head is a function of the length of the pipe and the pipe diameter. Can he put pipes or sticks inside the pipe to occupy space to reduce the effective diameter of the pipe? They do not have to run the big generator 24/7 to get enough water for the colony, it seems they just have to use it because it is the only thing with enough power. My guess, it is over engineered. Shrink the head Datu...

just a guess...

We have this ( ).... Maybe we can turn it into this (o) and reduce the amount of power required

Lol

I also don't liked the limiter to the like button.

Damn, that was... Quite a blow. I knew something was going to happen when they went to check out the prison. It just felt right in terms of story rhythm (they've checked out all these other places and nothing, so in terms of story there has to be something this time), but I thought it was going to be something good, like some sort of lead on Ink (or Scratch's partially-devoured corpse, heheh). Definitely not expecting what actually happened.

On another note: it's fantastic to hear Burt and Riley's voices again. I missed them like crazy these past episodes, and honestly I think they're being treated a bit unfairly by the rest of the group. I agree with them that Scratch is still out there biding her time, rather than fleeing. The rest of the group may have been hurt by their departure without saying anything, but I find it annoying that they can't look past their feelings and see that this is something that needed to be done, and see that they would not have let Burt and Riley go after Scratch, if they had voiced their plan. Leaving without saying anything was really the only way to go about it. So, yeah, get off their case, you bunch 'a goats (in imitation of Burt's voice).

as for chapter predictions?
1.) Puck is the only one that comes out alive after visiting TOWTM's place
2.) We learn that Riley's been liftin' and doing an absurd amount of curls in her trademark tank-top, hoping to Hulk-Smash! Scratch to death
3.) Lizzy goes into labor at the WORST possible moment
4.) Datu is given false hope about a cure and TOWTM ends up eating his face off
5.) Michael ruins CJ's surprise birthday party by broadcasting the cake topper over the airwaves
6.) Footbutt finally gets a prediction right

Well you write about puck, in a diffrent way.

You are right, they all had themselves on high horses there. I really wanted to smack them for being that way. I'd be hurt but I know I wouldn't have done it. Err... be like that.
