When last we looked in on Rex the Wonder Dog, he was aiding in the destruction of the woolly mammoth. However, what I didn’t realize at the time is that Rex has a long history of causing extinction-level events. In issue #11, Rex kills a dinosaur with an atomic bomb. Enjoy the adventures of the most dangerous dog on Earth.

Luke McIntyre, in Go Triad, recommends Country Barbecue as the best in North Carolina. I’ve never been there, but I’ll have to try it out now. However, “the best barbecue” is highly subjective, so I have a feeling it still won’t hold a candle to Fuzzy’s in Madison. Link courtesy of Automatic Writing

Personally, while I think “Bond…James Bond” is one of the greatest lines in movie history, I have to pull for the person who unleashes this quote while pouncing on someone: You have touched a life and left a blistering sore on the flesh of Humanity – And you must not be allowed to do so again! (A key difference between hero and villain is the ability to monologue while actually doing something.) ...

The waters of the salt sea are fresh at the greatest depths. - Page 948 “So dive real deep, take a big gulp of water, and let us know what it tastes like, okay?” :)
