568: Well 2
| Well 2 |
 Title text: But I've made $13.72 already today! Ow, stop throwing pennies. |
Explanation
The average person's lifespan is 80 years now. So while, immortality may become a reality, Ponytail won't live long enough to achieve it.
Cueball is looking for a programming language that will simply execute the way he wants it to without having to explain what he means. This is a problem with computers, they are very precise, they will do exactly what you tell it to do, not what you want it to do.
This is when we find out that one of Megan's boyfriends (past/present/future, she's had a few) is hiding in the well, waiting for her to come for an Unfortunate Truth.
The title text suggests he might just be down there for the money everyone is throwing away.
