May know who Therkla is! (Spoilers)

[UncleWolf]

I haven't been on the forums for a while so if this has already been said please excuse me.

In SOD near the end Righteye is telling Redcloak that he is going to kill Xykon because he let Righteye's family die. In the next panel Righteye is sort of mumbling to himself that he was lucky that he has smuggled his daughter out of the camp and that she could possibly be taken care of by humans or worse.

[Morty]

I'm afraid it's been confirmed in the comic (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0509.html) that Therkla is a half-orc. Apart from not looking like a goblin, of course.

[UncleWolf]

there goes that theory.

[Ikialev]

I'm afraid it's been confirmed in the comic (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0509.html) that Therkla is a half-orc. Apart from not looking like a goblin, of course.

Geez, if you have theories that MiTD is Elan|nalE's lost twin, why is that bad? >>
Also, it can be a disguise.

[Studoku]

That theory went ages ago. Along with Therkla being any or all of the following:
Sabine
Haley
Celia
Miko
Thog with the gender changing belt
Xykon
Roy's new character
Roy ressurected and in disguise
V
V's mate
n, where n is a character from OotS
o, where o is a character from webcomic p, where webcomic p is any webcomic on the internet
q, where q is anyone not mentioned above
Rich Burlew
The Stig
Chuck Norris

[David Argall]

sod
There is also the matter of age & time. Therkla has been in Lord Kubota's employ for at least seven years and was a ninja school grad before that. Right-eye's daughter was a kid three years ago.

The idea has been proposed, and bashed down, several times.

[Shhalahr Windrider]

n, where n is a character from OotS
What about where n = Therkla?

I mean, I think we can agree that Therkla is a character from OotS, and that she is Therkla. Right? I mean, we do have at least that much evidence.

[Chronos]

Wait, I've got it! This is kind of far out there, I'll admit, but it fits all of the facts perfectly. Therkla is Daimyo Kubota's chief ninja, a half-orc who happens to have a crush on Elan.Doesn't it all make sense now?

[The gF]

Therkla is Jesus in Purgatory.

[Ganurath]

Wait, I've got it! This is kind of far out there, I'll admit, but it fits all of the facts perfectly. Therkla is Daimyo Kubota's chief ninja, a half-orc who happens to have a crush on Elan.Doesn't it all make sense now?You have presented the only theory about the mistress that makes sense. For that, I salute you.

[Kish]

Geez, if you have theories that MiTD is Elan|nalE's lost twin, why is that bad? >>
Because "Something worse than X exists" is nowhere near the same as, "X is not bad."

[The Extinguisher]

I'm Spartacus.

I mean Therkla.

[Spiky]

Therkla is Therkla.

[Shhalahr Windrider]

I'm Spartacus.

No! You're just trying to get her Pepsi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FYGmMzwJRA)!

[Spiryt]

Therkla is a state of mind.

[Ikialev]

There is no Therkla.

[T-O-E]

That's strange, I thought Therkla threads were extinct. Oh gods, they're back!

[Eldan]

The Therkla is a lie.

[The Extinguisher]

This is not the Therkla you're looking for.

[Zencao]

I'd just like to mention that this is the best Therkla thread ever.

Kubota never told you about Therkla...

He told me enough! He told me you killed her!

No... *I* am Therkla!

[Remirach]

Thanks, Mario, but your Therkla is in another castle.

[Surfing HalfOrc]

There can be only Therkla!

Hey now, lets not get crazy here. There's probably a more rational explanation to this.

[Mauve Shirt]

Why is Therkla's identity even up for discussion anymore?

[The Extinguisher]

TherKHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!

Best. thead. ever.

[Remirach]

Become vengeance, David. Become Therkla.

The best trick Therkla ever pulled was convincing the world she didn't exist.

[Spiryt]

This is madness.

This is THEERKLAAAAAAA!!!!

[Laurentio]

In the DC universe "Infinite boredom" continuity, Therkla and Elan's son will became the leader of Justice League Azure City, ten years before Elan birth and after his own death and rebirth. Due to his parents, he will be half human, a quarter orc, and a quarter moron. With a taste of blond.
As an hobby, he will do the lettering of the web-comic "Elfworld", with a maior typo in the title.

+10 coolness if you can draw him.

Therkla was the second shooter on the grassy knoll.

[Grey Knight]

In the grim darkness of the future, there is only Therkla.

[FoE]

Therkla is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us (oh boy!). Therkla binds the galaxy together.

[Gol_Stoan]

And how can this be? For she is the Kwizatz Therkla! :smallbiggrin:

[King of Nowhere]

Therkla (aka Thurkla, aka threlka, aka Therlka) is actually Sabine's sister shapeshifted. Se is also Miko and Samantha: Sabine's sister was Samantha, then when Miko arrived she killed Miko off panel and shapeshifted to her, after destroing the gate she shapeshifted into an ***insert race name because I can't figure one*** (a very rare monster who looks like two bisected parts of a human body with X in their eyes) and when nobody looks she killed the real Therkla and shapeshifted to her.

P.S. Threads like this are exactly the reason that keeps me on this forum

They look like Therklas? Is that what they looked like? They were VAMPIRES. Therklas do not explode when sunlight hits them, I don't give a [bleep] how crazy they are!

Ok you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my THERKLA! The 12th level half-orc ninja. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the assassinations department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a purple outfit, forest green skin, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that?

Oh, come on, you don't think I'm gonna fall for that old Therla?

It's not a Therkla. There was one Therkla at Therkla in the Therkla; two for the Therkla; two at the Therkla and one for the singing Therkla.

That's not six.

One plus two plus two plus one.

Uh-uh, there was only one Therkla that got the Therkla. That's one plus two plus *one* plus one.

Even if you were right, that would be one plus one plus two plus one, not one plus *two* plus one plus one.

Okay, fine. One plus two plus one... Shut up! The point is, there is one Therkla left in this gun and guess who's gonna get it!

First things first, to the death.

No. To the Therkla.

I don't think I'm quite familiar with that phrase.

I'll explain and I'll use small words so that you'll be sure to understand, you warthog faced buffoon.

That may be the first time in my life a man has dared insult me.

It won't be the last. To the Therkla means the first thing you will lose will be your feet below the ankles. Then your hands at the wrists. Next your nose.

And then my tongue I suppose, I killed you too quickly the last time. A mistake I don't mean to duplicate tonight.

I wasn't finished. The next thing you will lose will be your left eye followed by your right.

And then my ears, I understand let's get on with it.

WRONG. Your ears you keep and I'll tell you why. So that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish. Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out, "Dear Therkla! What is that thing," will echo in your perfect ears. That is what to the Therkla means. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever.

Now being that this is a Therkla, the most powerful ninja in the world, and could chop your head...CLEAN off; You've got to ask yourself one question. Do I feel lucky? Well do you...PUNK?

[The Extinguisher]

1: You don't talk about Therkla.
2: You don't talk about Therkla.

5: One Therkla at a time.
6: They fight without Therkla's or shoes.

Oh, my turn now. Um...

You're a Therkla, Harry!

[Crazeemeel]

I don't know if this has already been staed since I don't feel like reading this whole thread but...

I think Therkla might have some relation to Thog due to her being the only other Half orc introduced to the online strip (there was a short story with some in it in Dungeon Crawlin' fools) they will probably have some hug/cry scene later in the story. Heck their names even both start with a "th"

[David Argall]

That should be "Therkla MIGHT be related to Thog." The chance they are actually closely enough related to notice is trivial. It is about the same odds that any two characters in the strip are related.

As to both having "Th", this strip has used hundreds of names. It is about mandatory that there be duplications like this.

[Kish]

This great story arc will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is Therkla herself...

[BisectedBrioche]

I know the answer....

Therkla
=
Monthy Python with a genderbend belt!


Monty Python wasn't actually a person you know....

[Snadgeros]

Monty Python wasn't actually a person you know....

*Facepalm*

That's the JOKE!

And now for something completely Therkla:

I am at a rough estimate thirty billion times more intelligent than you. Let me give you an example. Think of a Therkla, any Therkla.

Er, Therkla.

Wrong. You see?

[Kimpire]

I'm BAD Therkla... and you're GOOD Therkla! You're a goody little two-Therklas! Little goody two-Therklas! Little goody two-Therklas!

*BANG*

Good, bad, I'm the one with the Therkla.

[Lorn]

One does not simply march into Therkla...

[Snadgeros]

One does not simply THERKLA into Mordor!


One does not simply march into Therkla...

TOO SLOW!:smallamused:

Back to the topic:

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a Therkla.

I'm going to make him a Therkla he can't refuse.

I'm mad as Therkla, and I'm not gonna take it anymore!

I see Therkla people.

You've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel Therkla?" Well, do ya, punk?

Say "Therkla" to my little friend!

Open the pod bay doors, Therkla.

Therkla's on first.

[Crazeemeel]

Clearly, Belkar is related to Serini, as well.

(Watch someone think I actually believe this.)

Not that I'm believing you but did anyone else notice that the layout for the party of adventurers who stopped the Dark One are the exact same races as the OOTS. 3 humans, an elf, a dwarf, and a halfling. I should probably just start my own thread on this.

[Gol_Stoan]

And that Therkla in the handle will sure come in handy too.
(Whoever figures out that obscure reference wins a cookie :smalltongue: )

[FoE]

Who am I?

You sure you want to know?

The story of my life is not for the faint of heart. If somebody said it was a happy little tale... if somebody told you I was just your average ordinary Therkla, not a care in the world ... somebody lied.

But let me assure you, this, like any other story worth telling, is all about a guy. That guy, the guy next door. Elan. :elan: The bard I loved since before I even liked bards.

I'd like to tell you that's me next to him. :haley:

Heck, I'd even take him. :belkar:

[TheCountAlucard]

Don't bring a knife to a Therkla fight.

[Finn Solomon]

"Let this be the hour in which we draw our Therklas together."

"Aye. And let the horn of Therkla Shuriken-Hand sound in the Deep, one last time!"

[Kimpire]

Unfortunately no one can be told what the Therkla is. You'll have to see it for yourself.

[Rollin]

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of Therkla.

[Mr._Michael]

"Behind every successful man, there is a Therkla."

[nosignal]

No, there's truly nothing remarkable about the progress of Therkla...
Except that I am *not* Therkla.

[Finn Solomon]

Well since mah Therkla left me...

BAH-BUMP!

I founda new place ta dwell...

BAH-DUMP!

It's downa the end o' Lonely Street, at, Heartbreak Hotel...

I feel so lonely, Therkla. I feel so lonely. I feel so lonely, I could die...

[Caractacus]

Dave: Who is everybody, Rich?
The Giant: They're Therkla, Dave.
Dave: Who is?
The Giant: Everybody, Dave.
Dave: What, Haley?

The Giant: Everybody's Therkla, Dave.
Dave: What, Thog's sister?
The Giant: They're all Therkla. Everybody's Therkla, Dave.
Dave: Tsukiko isn't, is she?
The Giant: Everybody is Therkla, Dave.
Dave: Not Lien?
The Giant: Gordon Bennett! Yes! Lien, everybody. Everybody's Therkla, Dave.
Dave: Durkon?
The Giant: He's Therkla, Dave. Everybody's Therkla. Everybody is Therkla, Dave!
Dave: Wait. Are you trying to tell me everybody's Therkla?
The Giant: [Beat] I should've never introduced the character in the first place...

Wait a minute, all crazy theories in one thread?
Come on, we need to spread out the crazy theories all across the forum not gather them in one singel thread.
Away with you now, go and and post some theories at discussion threads. We are the oots forum and we have a certain reputation to live up to.

In the end, there can be only Therkla.

In space, no one can hear you Therkla.

We're off to see the Therkla, the wonderful Therkla of OoTS.

I see your Therkla is just as big as mine.

Nobody expects the Therkla Inquisition.

Therkla is as Therkla does.

[Matuse]

Soylent Green Is Made Of Therkla! Therklaaaaaaaa!!!!

[FoE]

One Therkla to rule them all,
One Therkla to find them,
One Therkla to bring them all together
And in the darkness bind them

[Nerd-o-rama]

THERKLA OVERRIDE!

"I am Therkla, Therkla Zonvolt! I am the sword that cleaves evil!"
"Excellen, let's do this." "Oh, you mean the Therkla Therkla attack?"
"Witness the power of Therkla!"

I swear, just a few more missions left in SRW Original Generation, then I'll stop quoting it for a while. And start quoting OG2.

And now for something completely Therkla:

"I musn't post about Therkla. I musn't post about Therkla. I musn't post about Therkla."

[Kimpire]

How are you gentlemen
All your therkla are belong to us
You are on the way to therkla
You have no chance to therkla make your time

Move ZIG
For great Therkla!

[ZeroNumerous]

First rule about Therkla? We don't talk about Therkla.

"Therkla has died--she's not here anymore! But, on my Therkla and in my Therkla, she lives on as part of me! I will dig a hole to pierce the Therkla. Even if that hole becomes my Therkla, as long as I break through, it's my victory! Who the hell do you think I am? I am Therkla. I'm not just Therkla's sister--I am me! Therkla the Digger!"

[The gF]

I do not kill with my guns. She who kills with her guns has forgotten the face of her Therkla.

[obvious pun]

Therkla was a man!
Er, she was a dragon man!
Or maybe just a dragon...
But she was still THERKALAAAAAAAA!

Burninating the Therklas
Burninating all the Therklas
Burninating the Therklas
In their thatched Therkla COTTAGEEEEEEEEES!
THATCHED THERKLA COTTAGEEEEEEEEES!

Hey, who's playing that wicked Therkla solo? it sounds like Therkla VS. Therkla over here.
Go Therkla. Go Therkla.
Therkla wins!

Burnination has forsaken the countryside
And only one guy will remain

My moneys on THERKLAAAAAAAAA!

And then Therkla comes in the NIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!



Another one.

Oh, if you're going to be possessive,
it's just Ther-k-la!
But if you're going to use a contraction,
It's Ther-k-apostrophe-la!
Scallawag!



And now for something not related to Strongbad Email.

There's English Therkla, French Therkla, and German Therkla.
But Japan's Therkla, Ja-Therkla, does not exist,
so there's no choice but to Therkla it.
This Therkla is a serious, Therkla Therkla, about a young Therkla who possesses the Therkla hands, Therkla Therkla,
Who will create a Japanese Therkla, for the Japanese Therkla,
That can be presented to the Therkla Proudly!

Edit: One last thing.

This Therkla of mine glows with an awesome Therkla. It's loud Therkla tells me to Therkla you! Now, take this! My Therkla! My Therkla! And all of my Therkla!
SHINING THERKLA!

[Ascension]

"I am Therkla, Therkla Zonvolt! I am the sword that cleaves evil!"

L O L :smallbiggrin:


I swear, just a few more missions left in SRW Original Generation, then I'll stop quoting it for a while. And start quoting OG2.

No, no, we must never quit quoting SRW! Especially not before we Therkla-ize everything.

"One Therkla may not be able to destroy the world... but it can certainly destroy you!"

"Hyper Therkla Buster Cannon!"

I was going to continue, but my memory's gone fuzzy on me. Oh well... I guess that's just one more excuse to revisit the games.

[Studoku]

My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my Therkla. Prepare to die.

[mikeejimbo]

Therkla? We don't need no stinkin' Therkla!

[OverWilliam]

The Therkla are inert.

[Nerd-o-rama]

No, no, we must never quit quoting SRW! Especially not before we Therkla-ize everything.
Fine.

"I don't care how thick your Therkla is! I'll break through it!"

"I'll show you the true Therkla of war, fool!"
(What? I like Katina)

"Therklaooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

And finally, for the thread I've been posting in all day:

"Asking someone how long they believed in Therkla is so meaningless that it couldn't even serve as worthless gossip. Regardless, if you're going to ask me how much of my childhood I spent believing in a young woman in a purple suit, I can confidently say that I never believed in her in the first place. I knew the Therkla at the preschool Christmas event was just a fake. And I didn't even have to see the inane threads about her on the forums. I suppose I was just a precocious child who questioned the existence of a young girl who was simultaneously every female character in the comic..."

God damn that kid talks a lot. I could do the rest of the speech, but it's too much effort.

[Deathwisher]

Therkla is, as Therkla does.

Do unto Therkla as you would Therkla do unto you.

[OverWilliam]

Therkla's Mom has got it going on...

[Finn Solomon]

It's 12 o' clock. Do you know where your Therkla is?

Lie back and think of Therkla.

Ask not what your Therkla can do for you, but what you can do for your Therkla!

[obvious pun]

Man, that Therkla is one bad motha-
Shut yo mouth!
I'm only talkin' 'bout Therkla.
Then we can dig it!

Did you know you can donate one or all of your vital organs to the Aperture Science Self Esteem Fund for Therkla? It’s true!

Please note that any appearance of Therkla is merely a device to enhance your testing experience.

Remember, the Aperture Science ‘Bring Your Therkla to Work Day’ is the perfect time to have her tested.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Therkla. I watched C-beams glittering in the dark near the Therkla gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the Therkla. Time to Therkla.

Uh oh. Somebody cut the Therkla. I told them to wait for you but they cut it anyway. There is still some left, though, if you hurry back.

[Nerd-o-rama]

That part you just broke? That was the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit. It made shoes for Therkla. Good job breaking it hero.

[Mr._Michael]

Who is wise? He that learns from everyone. Who is powerful? He that governs his passions. Who is rich? He who is content. Who is that? Therkla.

What if Therkla was one of us?

[Matuse]

Go for the eyes, Therkla, go for the eyes! RRaaaggsk!


I grow tired of shouting battlecries when fighting this mage. Therkla will finish his eyeballs once and for all so he does not rise again. Evil, meet my sword. Sword? MEET EVIIIIILLLLLLL!!!!



Therkla-47. When you absolutely positively have to kill every last [bleep] in the room...accept no substitute.


You know, they say mercy is the mark of a great Therkla.
<stab>
Guess I'm just a good Therkla.

Well, I'm all right.


Two Therklas against a star destroyer!?



Oh my god, Therkla killed Kenny! You bastards!

Natives who beat bongos to drive off evil spirits are objects of scorn to smart Therklas who blow horns to break up traffic jams.

Welcome back to the Therkla Springer show!


A ninja walks into a bar and orders a drink. The bartender says: "I don't know if you should drink anymore. You're looking a little sick." The ninja replies, "I'm Therkla." Then, ninja-smites everybody in the bar with one of those plastic swords they stick in martini olives.

Note: That isn't supposed to be funny AT ALL.

[Gol_Stoan]

The symptoms most commonly produced by Enrichment Center testing are superstition, perceiving inanimate objects as alive, and hallucinations. The Enrichment Center reminds you that Therkla will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak.

Oh well. If you want my advice, you should just lie down in front of a Therkla. Trust me, it'll be a lot less painful than the neurotoxin. Killing you and giving you good advice aren't mutually exclusive. The Therkla really is the way to go.

Who's going to make the Therkla when I'm gone? You?

[Kimpire]

The Therkla DOES speak. Superstition, perceiving inanimate objects as alive, and hallucinations. I'm not hallucinating. You are. The Therkla would never desert me. Dessert. So long... Cake. Ha ha, Cake. A lie. The Therkla would never lie to me. NEVER.

[OverWilliam]

Free Therkla inside --->

The Therkla is also evil.

[Lionpawheart]

It's times like this when I truly hate myself for not being able to get that book.

But I think the theory is far-fetched. Can't she just be a normal character without having some kind of past in the story?

Mommas don't let your babies grow up to be Therklas...

[thnikkaman]

Deploying surprise in 5, 4... Time out for a second. That wasn't supposed to happen. Do you see that Therkla that fell out of me? Who is that? She's not the surprise. I've never seen her before! Never mind. It's a mystery I'll solve later...by myself... Because you'll be dead.

Good news. I figured out what that thing you just incinerated did. It was a morality core they installed after I flooded the enrichment center with a deadly Therkla to make me stop flooding the enrichment center with a deadly Therkla. So get comfortable, while I warm up the Therkla emitters.

The Enrichment Center reminds you that Therkla will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak

[OverWilliam]

It's a hundred and six miles to Therkla, we've got a full tank of Therkla, half a pack of Therkla, it's Dark out, and we're wearing Therklas.

Hit it. :smallcool:

[Gol_Stoan]

While safety is one of many enrichment center goals, the Aperture Science high energy Therkla seen to the left of the chamber can, and has, caused permanent disabilities such as vaporization. Please be careful.

I'm not kidding now. Turn back or I WILL kill you... I'm going to kill you, and all the Therkla is gone. You don't even care, do you?

Rest assured that an independent panel of ethicists has absolved the Enrichment Center, Aperture Science employees, and all test subjects of all moral responsibility for the Therkla euthanizing process.

[Mr._Michael]

Oh, come on! You gotta admit this is cool! Just like a movie! The robot will emerge dramatically, do some damage, throw some screaming people, and just when all hope is lost, *Therkla* will save the day! I'll be a bigger hero than you ever were!

[FoE]

And when everyone's Therkla, no one will be.

[Gol_Stoan]

We are the Therkla. Lower your shields and surrender Elan. Your bard will adapt to service us. Resistance Is Futile.

When Therklas are outlawed, only outlaws will own Therklas.

Keep your laws off my Therkla!

Read my lips: No new Therklas.

Only Therkla can prevent forest fires.

There are twelve Therkla models, I am number 6.

[Corsair]

You know, if all these theories and their ilk were right, there would only be about thirty people in the entire OOTS world. Not to mention that V would simultaneously be male, female, a hermaphrodite, sexless, and some kind of evil Fiend-Gender from Space. And then we have the issues of dealing with Belkar being every alignment simultaneously, and the rather Freudian connotations of Elan and Nale's relationship...

[FoE]

Rich Burlew created the Therkla
she evolved
there are many theories
and none of them make sense

[Mr._Michael]

Whoa... V is all that? Pretty cool... pretty cool.

She may be a miracle... but she's no Therkla!

[Matuse]

What is best in life?

To crush your enemies. To see them driven before you. And to hear the lamentation of the Therklas.



This is my Therkla.
There are many like her, but this one is mine.
My Therkla is my best friend.
She is my life.
I must master her as I must master my life.
My Therkla, without me, is useless.
Without my Therkla, I am useless.
I must fire my Therkla true.
I must shoot straighter than my enemy,
who is trying to kill me.
I must shoot him before he shoots me.
I will.

My Therkla and myself know that what counts in war,
is not the rounds of fire,
the noise of our burst,
nor the smoke we make.
We know it is the hits that count.
We will hit.

My Therkla is half-orc, even as I, because it is my life.
Thus, I will learn her as a sister.
I will learn her weaknesses,
her strengths,
her parts,
her accessories,
her mask and her shuriken.
I will ever guard her against
the ravages of weather and damage.
I will keep my Therkla clean and ready,
even as I am clean and ready.
We will become part of each other.
We will.

Before God I swear this creed.
My Therkla and myself are the defenders of my daimyo.
We are the masters of our enemy.
We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until there is no enemy,
but Peace.

[UncleWolf]

If you don't like Therkla, send her back and we will send you something smelling of wildflowers and shame. :smallbiggrin:

The only Therkla is the Therkla of Ice Cream.

[Gol_Stoan]

You euthanised your faithful Therkla more quickly than any test subject on record. Congratulations.

You've been wrong about every single thing you've ever done, including this thing. You're not smart. You're not a scientist. You're not a Therkla. You're not even a full time employee. Where did your life go so wrong?

[dragongirl13]

Um...

A) Therkla's a half-orc, B) she doesn't look like a goblin in the first place, C) Redcloak's daughter was a blond.

I actually had a theory that Therkla might be Kubota's daughter because he called her "Therkla, my dear" in 509.

[Matuse]

I was going to profess a dislike of squid, but I guess Therklas top my list as well.

[Finn Solomon]

Therkla gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no Therkla, hold no Therkla, father no children with her. I shall wear no ninja masks and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the shuriken in the darkness. I am the watcher on the ship decks. I am the valedictorian of the Ninja Academy, the writer of epic poetry, the keeper of diaries, the shadow that guards the lives of bards. I pledge my life and honor to Therkla, for this comic strip and all the other strips to come.

[FoE]

A Therkla Shall Not Know Anger, Nor Hatred, Nor Love.

[Shadowcaller]

I think its quite obvious that Therkla is the resultat of aliens probing Rich's mind into placing a character in his comic that will create such big Epileptic Tree that the name "Therkla" that is really a alien secret code.
When the code "Therkla" have been spread over enough of the Internet it will activate and the aliens will take over the Internet and with that our world!

(Really when I searched for "Epileptic Tree" on google the second and the third resultat was this (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4196404) and this (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77776).)

Well, that is your name, isn't it? Therkla? It's written all over your underwear.

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by Therkla.

You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door. There is a Therkla here.

Uh oh! The Therkla have started to move!

In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power, Therkla's light!

This thread is awesome.

"The Wheel of Therkla turns, and Therklas come and pass. Therklas fade into legends, legends fade into myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Therkla that gave it birth comes again. In one Therkla, called Threlka/Threkla by some, a Therkla long past, a Therkla yet to come, a Therkla arose. Therkla was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the Wheel of Therkla. But it was a beginning . . . of repeated speculations and unfounded rumors."

You know, I actually don't think Therkla is anybody - less than somebody, even! Probably just a couple-of-panels character, who may or may not return but in a small way, even then. She just doesn't have that "lasting character" vibe

One last one, because it had to be done, and I didn't know this thread existed until now....

Though I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have not Therkla, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. Though I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom and mysteries and all knowledge, and have a faith that can move mountains, but have not Therkla, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not Therkla, I am nothing.

Blessed is Therkla who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For Therkla is truly her brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And Therkla will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am Therkla when I lay my vengeance upon you.



Fabienne: Whose motorcycle is this?
Butch: It's a chopper, baby.
Fabienne: Whose chopper is this?
Butch: It's Therkla's.
Fabienne: Who's Therkla?
Butch: Therkla's dead, baby. Therkla's dead.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Therkla art with me; thy shuriken and thy sneak attack, they comfort me.

"Do I have your attention?"

"Kinda goin' to extremes here, ain't we?"

"There's times I think you don't take me seriously. I think that oughta change."

"Do you think it's likely to?"

"You got something you don't deserve."

"And it's brought me a galaxy of fun, I'm here to tell ya."

"Six women came to kill me one time. And the best of 'em was this. She's an Azurite half-orc ninja. Ninja school valedictorian, double-sai proficiency. She is my very favorite ninja."

"*Chinese* You offering me a trade?"

"A trade? Hell, it's theft! This is the best damn ninja made by man, and she has extreme sentimental value! She's miles more worthy than what you've got!"

"What I've got? She has a name."

"So does this! I call her 'Therkla.'"

"Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle."

Science Fact from wikipedia:

The world's strongest magnetic field, created using a super laser, has a power of approx. 34.000 T (Therkla). It lasts only for a few picoseconds. Or it would make the world explode, I guess.

Aaaw come on, it's only such a minor typo! The numbers are right, so what's the fuzz?

I'm surprised no one's thought of this one 'til now:

"She's dead, Jim."

"She's dead, Elan."
