− | + | [[Cueball]] thinks it is easier to change a person's name than to change the hostname of a server because of the number of changes that would need to be made. However, it seems that Cueball has never had to wait in line at the Social Security Administration office or at the Department of Motor Vehicles. Those two name change processes make finding and changing dozens of hostfiles look like a piece of cake. | |
− | + | In the comic, Cueball references "{{w|Epidural|epidural}}" which is a process used during childbirth/labor that blocks both pain and sensation (by continuously injecting drugs directly into the spinal cord), which [[Megan]] refers to as "drugs". | |
