Triangle and Robert #961	Therefore, there exist infinitely many numbers lonelier than the number one. / What about over the integers? / There exist negative integers at least as lonely as the number one. The proposition only holds if the domain is restricted to the integers greater than zero. / "One is the loneliest postive... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?961
Triangle and Robert #962	It is decided. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we shall consider Mr. Disease a fifth Sentry. / Each of our food groups has its lore, eons old. This new group has none. What is the role of its Sentry? What are his duties? / Those will have to be discovered... or invented. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?962
Triangle and Robert #963	There may be a relevant piece of lore.... Mightn't this new food group be the one that includes Apocalypse-in-a-Can? / You refer to the prophesies of Gary the Stupid? / It was just a thought! / I have heard of Gary the Stupid, but never as a prophet. Tell me of this Apocalypse-in-a-Can. / Wait, you've... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?963
Triangle and Robert #964	Gary the Stupid, author of "99 Things You Shouldn't Do With a Toaster Oven and Two That Are Illegal". I've heard of him. The worst chef ever. / Not the worst. That is a common misconception. A worse chef was Amrel the Very Mad. / Do you mean Emdrol the Mad? / No, Amrel the Very Mad, founder of the catering... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?964
Triangle and Robert #965	Gary the Stupid's incompetence as a chef, while substantial, was hardly unmatched. He is remembered where other chefs are / forgotten because of the quantity of his writing. / I knew he wrote many alleged cookbooks. There were other works? / Many, on topics as diverse as genetic algorithms and the history... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?965

Triangle and Robert #966	Enough sidetracking. The book in question is entitled "Things That Will Eventually Happen" and it is a book of prophecies. / It is remarkable in that its prophecies are just as vague as those in any other collection, and yet in the centuries since Gary the Stupid wrote them not a single one has come... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?966
Triangle and Robert #967	This discussion is senseless! If the Apocalypse-in-a-Can's mention in the Stupid Prophecies signifies anything at all, it is that it does not and will never exist! / I'm sensing some tension here. You Sentries don't do much work as a team, do you? / Indeed. / You are correct. We should all calm down... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?967
Triangle and Robert #968	There is now a fifth Sentry. We must strike immediately! / Baa? / Alone if we must. All signs indicate that the Sentries will be a very dangerous source of opposition if we wait for our friend's plan to go into effect. / Baa. Baa! / Our mysterious ally shared with me certain pieces of technology. Europe... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?968
Triangle and Robert #969	Using the strange technology from the Oval, the Cornersheep constructed and fortified small camps of sheep throughout the land of Europe. / Think real-time strategy games for a good example. New factories constructing both sheep and robots assembled themselves from raw materials in seconds. Among the... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?969
Triangle and Robert #970	I just read the last strip. / Me too. It's not very plausible. / Do you think it happened? / It must have. Things that don't happen don't go in the strip. / Sometimes they do. / It happened. I might have exaggerated the scope and speed of the operation, but it happened. / So the Cornersheep's about to... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?970

Triangle and Robert #971	You figured it out, Robert? How about you explain it for the readers. / You're getting me to write the strip for you, aren't you. / Mmmmaybe. It's that or Europe is overrun by militant sheep, though. / Right. Well, obviously the MSG entity is approaching critical mass and will soon be able to consciously... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?971
Triangle and Robert #972	So, the neural-flavored network substitute will shut down the Cornersheep's new bases given the appropriate motivation. / What motivation can we give it? / No need. / It's already decided to halt the construction. I'm not entirely sure why. I think it's experiencing jealousy. / Uh... right, sure. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?972
Triangle and Robert #973	As quickly as it began, the Cornersheep's hasty attempt at conquest comes to an end. A jamming signal from beneath the Earth's crust deactivates every one of the new bases. A second signal from another direction entirely causes them to disassemble themselves. / You sabotaged me. / What? / You gave the... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?973
Triangle and Robert #974	Telepaths. How many? / What? / On this world. / Psychic powers in general aren't uncommon, but I'm fairly certain I'm the only functioning telepath. / You're wrong. / The override codes were stored only in my memory. They were stolen! We are opposed by a telepath! / ...memory... Orpuddex? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?974
Triangle and Robert #975	[[stupid gradient]] / Did the rest of you feel that? / The stupid gradient? / No, I think the Cartoonist just put that there to indicate something was happening. I mean the quick psychic flash of metallic flavor and panicked mutton. / Panicked mutton? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?975

Triangle and Robert #976	Can yo\| / What? / Okay, did you hear that? / No. / \|ello? / A big thing is talking to me and I can't hear it because the panels are too small. Alternately, I'm hallucinating giant letters. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?976
Triangle and Robert #977	Okay, just answer Y or N. Are you who I think you are? / Y. / Are you in danger? / N. / Are you trying to warn me about something? / Y. / Is it the Cornersheep/Oval alliance? / N. / Is it Orpuddex? / S. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?977
Triangle and Robert #978	Does the danger involve Orpuddex in some way? / Y. / Does it relate to the Time of the Oval? / Y. / Does it relate to the Oval itself? / N. / Is this method of conversation transparent padding on the part of the Cartoonist? / \|Y\| / I'll take that as a yes. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?978
Triangle and Robert #979	Backstage at yet another talk show... / The Helix Twins interview is running long. Can I get you anything? / Is there anything to read? / I'll get some magazines. / They're all astronomy, sorry. / That'll do. / This cover looks familiar. I've seen it before, but not as a map of... of course! It's not WHAT... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?979
Triangle and Robert #980	You can't go out there yet! The Helix Twins are still on! / This is important. / It's a buoy! It's a buoy! / Congratulations! I didn't even know you were married. / No, not a... I mean the Oval. It's a buoy, a marker in space! http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?980

Triangle and Robert #981	You're interrupting the Helix Twins. This had better be real good. / It is. I'll need to make a phone call. / You should have done that first!... / Briefly later... / The Helix Twins are done, you're up. / Thanks. Let me know when a fax comes. / So, Cube... what's this big discovery you frightened the... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?981
Triangle and Robert #982	Triangle? What was that all about? / Cube needed me to fax a rubbing to the studio. / A rubbing of what? / I don't know, some templey thing. / What did it look like? / A crowded arrangement of arbitrary looking symbols. An electron micrograph of pudding. How should I know? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?982
Triangle and Robert #983	My stage manager's telling me you just got a... / Fax? Great, have him bring it up here. / Now, look at this magazine cover. Can you get a shot of it? It is, of course, a map of the galaxy. The dotted line is the path our solar system follows every something-or-other thousands of years. / Now, this...... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?983
Triangle and Robert #984	Look at them side by side. The notation is unfamiliar, but the temple diagram is a galactic map, accurate as of a few centuries before the fall of the Fourth Race. / This taco curve is our planet. The arrows are its path through the galaxy. These big concentric ovals are... the important bit. The Fourth... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?984
Triangle and Robert #985	Yes. I don't know much astronomy, but whatever's there causes waves of mutations, and probably other effects as well. / The Cornersheep's telepathy, the nascence of the MSG entity, possibly even the return of Orpuddex and the coming of the Cartoonist are due to this... I hate the word "anomaly", but... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?985

Triangle and Robert #986	Is all that true? / I believe so. That cube is more intelligent than he appears. / I still think you sabotaged my bases, you know. / I understand that. I would think the same in your position. / Except for the genocidal hatred of polygons, you're a very reasonable man. / Did you mean to think that first... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?986
Triangle and Robert #987	We need to get to the bottom of this. Do we know any astronomers? / No. Wait... sort of. / Orpuddex? / Well, him, but also there was a client a couple of months ago... no, never mind, she swore to kill us next time we met. / She swore to kill you. I think she might be willing to talk to me. / Oh, rub... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?987
Triangle and Robert #988	I'm going to see the astronomer and then when I get back we're going to have a long talk about this giant insect habit of yours. / I can quit any time I want to! / Then stop now. You know I can't draw the things. / No! http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?988
Triangle and Robert #989	Let us now contemplate Prozac the Bear. What was it that transpired on the set of Diurnal Anomaly with Brian N. O'Cone? The broadcast that night gave no hint of the strange intrusion of the Prozac called Bear. / First, we must ask ourselves how Prozac came to be at the studio, and indeed how he (if... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?989
Triangle and Robert #990	One line from an episode of Mr. Ed has been stuck in my brain for most of my life. The line is "What am I, a horse or a ballerina?". I'm not sure of the context. I might have never even seen the episode. The line was in an ad on Nick at Night. / Understand what that has to do with anything and you might... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?990
