Check out the "skirt" on panel 5

And it's only now that I find out I typed Dress instead of skirt, what was my intention in the first place....doh.

Oh well, it's pretty clear I think.

good GRIEF, that was weird, for a minute I thought you were talking to me.

One point for new readers to bear in mind - to avoid confusion - is that until recently the comic was set on Earth (next year I think, but we'll let that slide :P).
Luke's arrival on the medieval-esque world of Ariannia and the appearance of his wings is a fairly recent event.

Wasn't it the Red Queen in Alice Through the Looking Glass who said something about well-behaved words should always mean what you meant them to mean.

inconceivable -- According to the Apple Dictionary - not capable of being imagined or grasped mentally; unbelievable

I believe that the rule being refered to is "i before e except after c or when sounded like a as in neighbor or weigh"

Sample:  The concept of the posters on this forum learning proper spelling and grammar is completely inconceivable.  For that reason, there's no point worrying about it.

By the way, my favorite philosophers are Galileo and Benjamin Franklin.

At the risk of overexplaining, Turnsky has an established webcomic known as The Foxfire Chronicles.  Over the last few years the main character, Luke Reid, has been turned into a fox, given wings and now finds himself stranded on the world of Ariannia in a tattered shirt and jeans.  In the current strip he is purchasing some more appropriate garments.  The shopkeeper offers him a robe suspiciously similar to Dan's, and then a kilt suspiciously similar to Abel's.

I'm assuming you're asking for an explanation of the comic discussed on the first page of the thread, not the babble that comes after it   >:3

Well, you can describe certain properties of the object without being able to imagine the object. Not 'a talking box', maybe, but 'an 11-dimensional box', perhaps? I know *I* can't get a mental image of that.

Nah. If you know enough about sailing, and you know that your boat is about as cutting edge as it gets, the inconceivable bit is -how- they manage to be faster, while using a boat that looks much the same.

Taking it in a slightly different direction, the NZ boat in the America's Cup about ten or fifteen years back had a split keel, in a sort of upside down Y or T shape - I'm unsure, because they kept the thing hidden, as it had a lot to do with how fast they could go, and since they managed to beat everyone else, it's a fair bet that it actually did something useful, in that specific class of boat.

IIRC, they were up against Dennis Conner, who bent the rules sufficiently to run a catamaran as the defender, and it's well known that catamarans are faster than single hulled boats - so all the -other- teams had an immediate +10 THACO to overcome, as it were.

Welcome to the Multi-Verse of online comics.

where in one universe a guy gets turned into an anthro-fox, then grows wings, then gets shot out of a space cannon and lands on a distant planet.
Then finds cloths from two incubus in a shop, cloths that look like women's cloths.

Lets not forget that if Lex showed up Aar-kitty would turn him into an angst cubi.

Welcome to the Multi-Verse of online comics.

where in one universe a guy gets turned into an anthro-fox, then grows wings, then gets shot out of a space cannon and lands on a distant planet.
Then finds cloths from two incubus in a shop, cloths that look like women's cloths.

Lets not forget that if Lex showed up Aar-kitty would turn him into an angst cubi.

not space cannon, i just nearly blew up a 64km wide chunk of ukraine.

As I understand it (and I'm sure he'll stop me if I'm wrong) Turnsky has been considering adding DMFA-type 'Cubi as one of the races settled on Ariannia, but is a little reluctant to do so without some kind of blessing from Amber.

At the risk of stating the obvious, the clothing is, I think, just a joke rather than a serious suggestion that there are or might ever be DMFA-canon characters turning up in the strip  :P

pretty much, i figured a DMFA ref would at least garner a smile and/or a snicker from a few readers.

and you've pretty much hit the nail on the head.

inconceivable -- According to the Apple Dictionary - not capable of being imagined or grasped mentally

That part of the definition technically makes the word an impossibility. Nothing is inconceivable because to be able to say it's inconceivable you have to first know of it. If I say a talking box is inconceivable I'm wrong, because I just thought of it myself in order to say it's not.
I always took it to mean he couldn't comprehend what was happening.  That and as Indigo said, I don't think he knew what the word meant.

And there was a mischievous kid that swapped the apparel, I just know it.

Inigo. Fezzik, Inigo, and Vizzini. And, of course, Wesley and Buttercup, and Prince Humperdinck, and Count Tyrone Rugen.

No, I'm not obsessed. Honest.

Enough of the princess bride discussion! Go somewhere else with it and get back to the topic at hand, please! You're making my brain hurt from the off-topicness!
