An Answer

So, I know many of you have been losing a lot of sleep over Tuesday's riddle...
"What has two horns, a wooden leg, and a super-cooled nuclear core?"

And while you probably figured out the answer on your own, I'm going to give it to you again here:

ROBOT GOAT PIRATES!

Now, for further clarification, some images for your perusal.


[Fig. 1] Regular Goat Pirates (notice the conspicuous lack of cool android limbs)


[Fig. 2] This is an example of a pretty standard Robot Goat Pirate:


[Fig. 3] Dada as a Robot Goat Pirate. (Left image, according to Sawyer's imagination; right image, according to my own estimations)


[Fig. 4] Assorted other Robot Goat Pirates. (Seriously, I couldn't stop drawing these for an entire week.)


For Further Study: I'm pretty sure that THIS and THIS are both results of the same idea-generation process that produced Robot Goat Pirates.

Really, you make me laugh, not chuckle or chortle or even giggle, it's a full blown laugh. Your wit is astounding, compounded with artistic talent, it makes for a wicked combo.

I like having you around for that reason alone. Thanks, man. :D

Most awesome, old friend.

P.S. I recently read your Wikipedia entry and was most fascinated. I had no idea you were so old. Also, I did not know how to take your status as Whitebread Prize judge... oh, wait, that's Whitbread. My mistake.

I'm pretty sure the one with the robotic torso and gun for an arm is my favorite.
