# This doesn't seem to mean anything whatsoever. However, both of the characters say something irrational: "My hair is bleeding" is irrational because strands of hair can't bleed, and "โ3" is an {{w|irrational number}}. <p>The first statement may also have something to do with the prior panel (as cutting one's hair with bullets does not tend to end well).</p> | # This doesn't seem to mean anything whatsoever.

So the ant does not die from getting stretched, but rather from the rope stretching and leading to the ant having to walk for inconceivably long periods of time. |
