Coma physician, Dr. Jimmy, sprawled out on a fallen tree during a photo shoot last fall for his “The Many Ways Death Can Kill” project
By Coma Physician Dr. Jimmy
Since going on line on the computer world nearly three months ago, a lot of citizens have been asking me if it’s safe to be using computers to read news and information and to do other things. I wanted to take a moment to reassure the citizens of Coma that for the most part, the internet and computers are relatively safe.
Furthermore, it is highly unlikely that a computer or an internet can be used as a violent weapon. While it is physically possible for someone to wield a personal computer hard drive or a monitor to inflict pain and suffering on another human being, it is no different than a television in that regard.
Therefore, I am rating the internet and/or computer as a six on Dr. Jimmy’s “Object as a Practical Tool of Violence” Meter. This is slightly higher than a microwave oven and a little less than a manhole cover or denim pants. For reference sake, an abbreviated version of the meter is included below.
