Go long hair power! Like Samson for the old testament! Hehe! Long hair is awsome, I have hair that is well below my shoulders. It really depends what kind. Remember kids, mullets are for dead people! That's because I will peronally scalp you if you have one. I probably shouldn't be the one to talk about hair, though; whenever I get a hair cut I'm so displeased with it I wait for so long to get a new hairvut it looks like my head, including my face, is being devoured by some small, hairy and unkept thing from the nether hells. |

Mullets are Effing Metal! Eff is not, though – the very expression "effing metal" is somewhat of a paradox. I don't think there's any language rule on this forum, so it's probably okay to write fuck as long as you don't do it in big pulsating red font. |

I think the 'effing' part was sort of a joke... I know I've used it a a sarcastic fashion before, but sarcasm is so hard to convery across a text medium. x.x

I suppose that may depend on where you work, but perhaps we should stay on the safe side. |

I thought I'd already posted here, but it turns out maybe I haven't. I consider myself quite normal. I'm 16, live in New Zealand, and I think I found GC through Drunk Duck - it used to be on there, didn't it?

Aah... I don't think you should define people as 'normal' or 'weird'... everyone has their own definition of the two, y'know? At any rate, I'm 17, female, and from the US. I draw a lot, read a lot, watch a lot of anime, and play a lot of games. None of which is at all helpful to my GPA. >_> I'm an atheist, but I don't push it on people. I'm cool with whatever you want to believe as long as you don't try to convert me or anyone else, and keep it to yourself. I'm fairly average in terms of height, but I have crazy long hair (2 feet, no joke). Umm... I wear glasses because I look like a zombie without them, and contacts are painful anyway.  |

I guess I'll expand a bit on my earlier post, since all I said was "I'm normal for certain values of normal." I'm a 25 year old male agnostic with short hair in its natural color (I tried to grow it out in middle/high school, but got sick of it while it was in the kinda stupid looking medium length stage [no offense meant to any guys with that length hair, but it certainly looked stupid on me]). Since the term "agnostic" can be somewhat ambiguous, here's a pretty good description of my beliefs from the Wikipedia article on agnosticism: Strong agnosticism (also called hard agnosticism, closed agnosticism, strict agnosticism, absolute agnosticism)—the view that the question of the existence or nonexistence of god(s) are unknowable by nature or that human beings are ill-equipped to judge the evidence. Move to the Bible-Belt. In most of the southern USA, you'll find the opposite is true. |

i'm in my 20's, Episcopal which i suppose does make me a bit odd. my main interests are mythology, folklore, religion etc. I hope to pursue the subjects in grad school at some point, so this is a natural read for me. I read several other web comics in cluding QC, SP, xkcd and Phd but though i love these others but for me Gunnerkrigg is everything a webcomic should be.

Eww, mullets. If you have to have one, go ahead.
Except you, rastarogue. You're not allowed to get one because I actually have to look at you almost every day. Sorry for spoiling your dreams.
They just are not for me. Possibly the least attractive haircut ever, in my book.

I would consider myself normal, but every time I tell my friends that, they laugh at me, so... I'll go with something in between my own definition and society's definition of the word.
I'm 19, growing my hair out long. Two dogs and a cat. That sort of thing.
I think Phish is a good band. That's somewhat abnormal outside of the cult following they've built up.

Move to the Bible-Belt. In most of the southern USA, you'll find the opposite is true. I come from the Canadian echo of America's Bible Belt, smack dab in the wide spread of Mennonites across southern Manitoba. And while I really value my heritage, it's the people who enforce traditional views rigidly and without question that can often conflict with my belief system. Not what one would call liberal, maybe a bit closer to conservative, but somewhere in between. Tragedy mostly comes out of the church basing itself on internal politics instead of what it should really be looking after... but! This seems to be the hair thread now. What am I blathering about belief conflicts for? I'm making an attempt to grow mine out down to my butt. So far it's a little down past the bottom edges of my shoulderblades. And death to mullets. |

Seriously I could come to school with a grease back mullet, I would be shot before I made it halfway down the hallway. |

The hair thing was just a diversion, although I guess your hair can give interesting pointers to your personality. It does depend on slightly more than that though, for example, a mullet is bad, a mullet with a baseball cap is ever so slightly worse. But talking about religion is still more interesting than hairstyles, I think, as long as we stay clear of Godwin's Law and other nasties. The talk about Christian rigidity on tradition reminded me of a story my godfather, who's actually a priest, told me: He was visiting some middle eastern country, think it was Syria. Guided by a Greek orthodox priest, he visited the valley were, supposedly, the actual entrance to Hell is located, and the souls of the damned would flow down on the day of judgment (it should be noted that neither he or I believe this in any way, but that's the story). They watched the sunset and had a beer while the Greek priest merrily explained that here, the souls of anyone not Greek Orthodox would be drained into Hell for eternal torment and all that. "Would that include me then, since I'm not Greek Orthodox?" my godfather asked. "Yes, of course," the priest said. "Would you like another beer?" |

On religion, I would say that all religions are the same and that over time as they became more structure the polytheistic religions condensed into the monotheistic religios we have now.

well, I've just popped into the forum for a quick browse but I thought I'd say hi! I guess compared with some other readers I'm rather abnormal - but we're all unique and interesting, right? I'm 25, grew up in the perfect nuclear family, nonreligious but went to a church (private) school, went to university, and now work as a lawyer for a top firm. I found GC through SGR, which is the only other webcomic I read. Oh, and I have strawberry blonde hair which I have never dyed.  |
