 The narrator discovered that it is simple and inexpensive to have a {{w|commemorative plaque}} made, and so had a commemorative plaque made to record that event. This comic is similar to previous comics, especially [[699: Trimester]], which also uses as its subject how easy it can be to fool people into accepting something trivial or incorrect through the use of official hallmarks or labor-intensive processes (such as engraving a plaque & affixing it to a wall). The comic both indicates the lack of knowledge many people have about how simple or difficult it is to do a certain thing, and the over-the-top response a person might have to a relatively mundane discovery.

-The title text tells us that it was a week later when they learned out how to use a {{w|Drill_bit#Masonry_drill_bit|masonry bit}} to mount the plaque, there being some small but useful points of technique to be learnt when drilling into one or other of stone, brick, concrete or cement. It equates it being almost exactly as much deserving of a plaque as the very act of obtaining a plaque, and now a second one, to also have finally been able to properly attach it (them) to the chosen wall.
