I shouted out "Yaaay!!" like a little girl when I read it. =) I'm glad! I bet Ozy and Millie will be very happy when they become siblings!! This is quite awesome, in my opinion.

My mind upon reading the strip:

Thought one: "Woah..."
Thought two: "Eh, not entirely unexpected, given that he's trying to tie up loose ends. Wonder where it'll go from here."
Thought three: "...I wonder how many pages of discussion there are on DC about it already XD"

What?
Light travels at 18,000 miles per second.
You mean 186,000 miles per second?
Only in a vacuum.
:offtopic:
In what medium does light travel at only 18,000 miles per second? In air it's traveling only slightly slower than 186,000 miles per second, right?

-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

Yeah. Cool stuff, that. Slowing down, and even stopping light. Absolutely amazing. :D

But what I was wondering is, under normal circumstances, when would light travel at only 18,000 miles a second? Sorry if I sound like an idiot about this, just wanting to know for my benefit. And if I'm ever on Jeopardy. :grin:

Anywhere where there is matter.

Light speed is only constant in a vacuum. In this case, light travels at 18,000 miles a second in a nuclear reactor.

I don't know how I feel about this yet... I'm... in the middle. I didn't want Ozy and Millie romantically involved so this solves that... but I didn't want those two to get married.... or maybe I did... I dunno. Why not I guess?... I wonder if this'll be the last story arc

Boy, THIS is going to tick off all those people that came up with Ozy/Millie pairings. As for me, my reaction was...

Because she knew Llewellyn was too much of a gentleman to ask.

This puts a corkscrew in the Ozy/Millie pairing but since Ozy and Millie act like a brother and sister more often then a girlfriend and boyfriend it will probably work out better in the long run for them.
