Uhm....

I thought it was supposed to be self-explanatory: that the only feasible reason for the much decayed remains of the Statue of Liberty to be there was because rather than going to another planet, they had instead gone to another time in the distant future.  (And we can't say that no one would get it because it hasn't been done before, either.  We'd been seeing these kinds of plot twists in Dr. Who for decades already.)

That's the joke,

I do, and well, no, I don't, but I do have considerably less of it than I used to.

I almost posted this here, to add a bit of evidence to that theory of mine. ("Immobile mages - and immobile magical girls - are obvious targets.")





Source - while this particular strip is safe for work, some of the others in the series push the envelope. However, this is the only strip (so far) that shows us "Hogsworth’s finest".

Another reasonably-safe strip from the same series:

is... is that last one for for REAL? Because if elephants do have something like religion, then that's a level of abstract thought that puts them on our level.

A quick Google says that sources are apparently Pliny the Elder and a single book from the 80s, who cites Pliny. Not the strongest foundation to build upon.

We have indications that they mourn their dead, but not the worship of celestial objects.

It’s hard to write off Pliny entirely. The Roman army did use elephantry in battle occasionally. Though they never bothered to continue breeding programs of people they had conquered. Once they learned that one weird trick to stop elephants (have light infantry throw things at the elephant until it retreated trampling back through enemy lines), it was never worth it to keep them. That said it’s possible North Africa was a cult center for the Elephant Moon Goddess back in the day.
