  I’ve only read your comment so far, but I thought it was obvious enough to be surprised your comment was in top

    It’s easier than that: c for ceiling, g for ground.

  The joke is so obvious there’s no need to comment on it so others, including myself, are using this as an opportunity to post our opinions on the difference between sci-fi and fantasy.

  Yeah not obvious to me at all. I came to the comments to get enlightened because I did not get the joke.

    I honestly thought “that can’t possibly be the joje, right?” because it seems pretty nonsequitur.
