− | + | [[Cueball]] and [[Megan]] are apparently playing a game in which they name all of the elements in some category. Megan is supposed to name all of the {{w|Spice Girls}}, a pop group whose nicknames were "Posh Spice" ({{w|Victoria Beckham}}), "Sporty Spice" ({{w|Melanie C|Melanie Chisholm}}), "Scary Spice" ({{w|Mel B|Melanie Brown}}), "Ginger Spice" ({{w|Geri Halliwell}}), and "Baby Spice" ({{w|Emma Bunton}}). | |
− | + | Instead, she winds up naming members of other categories (the {{w|Sense#Traditional_senses|five senses}}, the {{w|Kübler-Ross model|five stages of grief}}, and the {{w|Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse}}), with "Spice" tacked on the end. In the final panel, she comes close, but says words that are phonetically similar to the correct answer (Pog, Story, Sarah, Gender, and Baleen). | |

− | + | The title text has the correct Spice Girl names, but uses them as names of {{w|Extinction event#Major extinction events|Earth's five mass extinctions}}. The [http://www.endangeredspeciesinternational.org/overview.html five worst mass extinctions] are: | |
