ping.ping.ping


I've written previously about Jack Kirby's wonderfully named Fourth World creation, the Mother Box. Today I'll tell you about @Mother_Box.

The other day, instants after I tweeted that I had written about Big Barda, a reply tweet arrived from @Mother_Box simply stating "ping.ping.ping."

Keep in mind that the Kirby creation of the Mother Box was basically a hand-held computer that took care of its owner's every need and that ping.ping.ping was its sound effect in the comics.

It seems that the proprietor of @Mother_Box has written a program that scans all tweets for Fourth-World-related keywords (like Barda or Darkseid) and then automatically sends out the calming ping.ping.ping reply to those tweets.

Who wouldn't like that?

ping.ping.ping.
