Voices to the left of me, voices to the right. And here I am, stuck in the middle with you, my deep dark roast *drinks deeply and sighs* that’s better. I can always quit tomorrow, can’t I?
I state this for the record coffee is actually a type of black tea so technically coffee is part the ULT (united leaves of tea) stop this crazy talk also chocolate is overrated in most instances unless its winter in which case I will take marshmallows with mine please
Could be that Heather’s brain isn’t developing perfectly along with the extra arms, making it hard for signals to go back and forth efficiently, resulting in short circuits, crossed wiring and unusual compensation from the brain.
I think her brain or nerves system as developed something like a sub-brain to help control the extra arms. Each arm may have a nerve cluster to assist in control.
If each arm had its own cluster of nerves for control, instead of her brain trying to accommodate/compensate, then she wouldn’t be able to control them, unless the clusters only assisted in helping her control the hands, then they wouldn’t be misbehaving. Alien Hand Syndrome stems often times from the brain overacting, sending signals unconsciously. It doesn’t need to develop any odd growths to go along with.
Op3999,
That is assuming her brain is wired like a normal person. With the limbs she may have also gotten a “mutation” to her motor-control. In the end we can throw ideas all over the place with none of them right but it is fun to throw them.
i was thinking maybe Heather got blasted with the Ck reactor still inside the infuser, I she’ll get the ability to sort of ‘retract’ her arms and extend them when needed.
Channel 5 have each of their reporters on a one year contract, renewable on a favourable performance review. It’s coming up to that time of year again, and that is why she is taking so many risks. She needs to show she can get the story, bring home the bacon. Even if it means she comes home battered and bruised, smelling of smoke and cordite. Fortune favours the brave, but a Channel 5 ID and a camera crew can’t protect her from Supervillain Randians who see her as an obstacle.
If Patti has been affected by the ray, I hope it’s in a good way. Unobtrusive, something that will allow her to continue with her career. I just wish she’d call me more often :/
The ray made her a mind reader. It helps with her job, but is also hard to control. She’ll call when she masters her power. I know this because I was (or will be) visiting when she calls.
By the way, right now, the time machine is malfunctioning and vaporizing organic material. I can bring it to you as soon as it’s working properly.
1. I haven’t forgotten your promise to destroy this Universe / Spacetime Reality.
2. when you mentioned you would be visiting, who will you be visiting?
3. Vaporizing organic material? What / who have / will you be/en vaporizing? I think we should declare a moratorium on kittens. KittyKatt is becoming disappointed with us
Armeisce? A “SINGLE” cup of coffee each day is beneficial to good health, as has been proven. Multiples? not much in the positive aspect of the research. As to Heather & company? As “TheGnome” so poignantly stated, the eight eye look? not so appealing, as recalls “evil spinnerette”. (of course she had “other” compensations from her human aspect. lol!) Yet, Spinnie & company are about to have the MOST intesting time of their lives. ;D or is that ;:::D heeheeheeh!!!
I watch an absolute minimum of TV but I’ve heard my co-workers talking about their favourite TV soaps where a character goes upstairs, played by an established actor, only to come down the stairs played by someone different. I think they call it a head transplant. After a few episodes the viewers accept the new actor / head. This portrayal of Sahira is cute, beautiful, but as I’ve mentioned before, she’s showing the strain of living with Heather.
Genectic Mutation…. Hmmmm….
When was the last time I had to understand this? A century ago? Seems like without the Chernovsky Generator, all the Ray does is ENHANCE previous mutations….
Possible Spider-Were?
The Cosmos may never know……
Actually, seeing as how Dr. U got all pissed that the reactor was taken, I think that the ray is borderline useless with out it. It doesn’t function. It is a $90,000,000,000 ten ton paperweight.
Well, crustaceans have 10 legs, so maybe– nah, doesn’t quite fit.
Though if Heather’s theory about pedipalps is correct, the two new appendages would be homologous to mouthparts. This might explain why they seem to move on their own when she tries to speak.
Well, looks like some of the newcomers are a bit obnoxious!
Yeah. They are a little cheeky aren’t they?
I can’t see them – were they banned? More trolls?
Methinks they speak of Spinny’s new pedipalps.
Sigh. ‘course they are
Thanks Raiser. I do believe I will have a coffee now. Yeah, I know I’m supposed to be quitting, give me time OK?
uh oh obnoxious newcomers why is always the obnoxious ones who decide to join are little community
Mongoose. Read above – the obnoxious ones are Heather’s new hands.
Nuuuu, Armeisce! Do not quit the coffee!!!! COFFEE IS LIFE!!!!!!!
Asura told me coffee was the death !!! Who am I to believe? Who? SO MANY VOICES !!!
Coffee is evil! And not the good kind of evil! Liiiissssteeen toooo meeeee Armeisce! Join the Anti-Coffee-Forces!!
Voices to the left of me, voices to the right. And here I am, stuck in the middle with you, my deep dark roast *drinks deeply and sighs* that’s better. I can always quit tomorrow, can’t I?
Woo-hoo! The Republics of the Coffee strikes again!
NO! Escape the coffee! Join the great United Leaves of Tea!
or the the allied force of cocoa
I state this for the record coffee is actually a type of black tea so technically coffee is part the ULT (united leaves of tea) stop this crazy talk also chocolate is overrated in most instances unless its winter in which case I will take marshmallows with mine please
I call dibs on the pink ones. What?
About those marshmallows… I ate them all.
NNNNOOOOOOOOoooo !!!! YOU NEED A FREAKIN’ MUZZLE sob sob sob
oH GOD!! I don’t know who to join! There are friends on both sides!
CAN’T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG!?!?!?!
unless somebody starts The Secret Society of Goat Eating!
Ah… about that… I ate all those too.
NO I will never except the like of the black substance that looks and taste like orc piss
oh and CDSF I already founded that organization didn’t you get the invetation
@Mongoose: Who else was invited to this organization!? lol
just to say, coffee isn’t bad, too much too often for too long can be very harmful though.
Be glad you weren’t around me at the height of my coffee drinking. It averaged 5-6 12 cup pots a day of strong coffee.
But then I was busy for 20 out of 24 hours a day so I needed the coffee to keep going.
Coffee isn’t allowed in the United Leaves because it’s a bean.
Im a newcommer and im only obnocious to my parterners in cri…..I mean Justice… yeah.

I think its more or less like alien hand syndrome.

or it could be a comic book gimmick

i think bottom lefty just got some allies X3
Yeah Heather, and next come the 6 or so extra eyes. You may want to LOOK into that.

I’ll be visiting you. With a machine that bends time. It wasn’t kittens, it was evil me’s from other dimensions.

I wouldn’t mind if she grew six extra eyes. In fact, I would like to see that.
Sounds like most college/University experiences…
Ah the old Chinese curse: “may you live in interesting times”
Been there, done that, got the resulting neuroses
I am disappointed in Sahira’s new look, she does not look at all like she did before (which i thought was better).
alas, i still love this comic

The Were-Spider theory is actually not a Bad idea. I can’t wait to see how it turns out.
i think it will be interesting to see what will happen next

Say hello to dark age spinerette
http://www.1channel.ch/watch-11791-Earth-vs-the-Spider
Sweet a fist fight and some random grouping.
Spinny certainly has her hands full… just sayin.
Ugh, she’s almost as irresponsible as the Anti-man in terms of taking care of her health
