“The popcorn should be popping by now. Let’s try reversing the polarity next.”

“Honest, Mr Redford, it’s completely environmentally friendly.”

Whatever is happening on the screen has got scientist lady feeling a little frisky. Of course the engineers are oblivious.

The women that men don’t see because they are studying giant erections.

Whoa! Someone left Pornhub up on the giant display TV. NSFW.

Nice of the man on the right to carry her knitting needles.

Josh wore his phrenology helmet at all times so he could tell if any of his bumps were growing.
@Ryan: so much trouble just to create an Apple.
Not quite sure what is supposed to be happening on the screen: did they just tear Creation a new hole?

The devil is in the details – the title clearly reads “The Genesis (=Birth) Machine.”
So the big screen shows… err… well, I never.

@B’Mancer—That joke, a good one by the way, must have entered your unconscious mind after looking at his moustache. It just screams “70’s Porn Star.”
March 26th, 2020 at 11:16 pm
@THX: Well spotted! The jawline’s a bit off, but from the ‘stache up, that’s absolutely 70’s Redford. I bet it was intended to be.
@Ray P: GSS! Possibly 2 of them. The artist certainly seemed to put a lot of time into drawing all those pipes. And the lady’s fully covered. I had an outfit almost like hers (much smaller belt) at the time.
@ARY: Typical male thinking regarding reproduction. Only a small portion devoted to the part that does the actual hard work of birth, and lots and lots of time and art space devoted to the quickest, easiest part.
No wonder Linda’s exiting stage right. If Redford-clone is just going to talk to the tech nerd, she’s outta there.

@GSSxn (prev.)
The big screen scene reminds me of an old George Carlin routine about sex in commercials, thus:
“And what’s the big scene in the Tiparillo commercial – a train going into a tunnel! You don’t have to be Fellini to figure that one out.”
None of the three on the cover are Fellini, are they? Then again, they still might not be bright enough to know what’s going on….

That’s a lot of effort just to watch a Phil Collins’ video.

I can’t see why Khan Noonian Singh and the Klingons were so keen to get hold of it.
March 27th, 2020 at 8:57 pm
@Tat: I know. Neither Khan nor the Klingons seem like Phil Collins fans. Or even Genesis. Or Tiparillos.
March 27th, 2020 at 10:24 pm
@GSS ex-noob: Khan obviously prefers the Peter Gabriel-era stuff. Probably more for the stage costumes. He reads Milton and Melville for fun, so Prog’s probably his bag.
Klingons are probably more into Phil Collins’s solo work, just like Patrick Bateman.

We’ll never get this out of the basement in time for the Maker Faire.
March 29th, 2020 at 2:08 am
@Tat: I can see Khan nodding along to “The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway”, now you mention it. But Phil’s solo career had too much love and yearning for Klingons, I’d think.

@Tat, @GSS: well, a proper Genesis machine should be able to duplicate all members output from 1967, including all theoretically possible combinations of members. It probably would be a very temperamental machine, admittedly, especially if they took the mad science shortcut of wiring all surviving band member’s brains together with a computer.
March 30th, 2020 at 11:15 am
@Bruce: Of all the cold, ruthless AI’s that could take over the world, I wouldn’t fear any of them as much as I fear the minds of every member of Genesis linked together with a computer.
March 30th, 2020 at 8:11 pm
@Vlttp: Looks like Linda there agrees with you. She’s slowly walking away before The Prog AI takes over. The image on the screen is only the beginning.
March 30th, 2020 at 9:07 pm
@GSSxn: Good luck Linda! Possibly only a small group of Genesis fans will be spared. Exactly which group of Genesis fans depends on whether Gabriel or Collins becomes more dominant within the hive-mind.
