A webcomic. In the single main panel, a woman with long hair stands at the end of a wooden pier, lifting a large metal barrel and tipping it over the edge into the ocean. A second person stands behind her on the pier, watching with concern, and asks, "What... what are you doing?" The woman replies flatly, "Evolutionary biology." A caption beneath reads: "Proposal: Fill the ocean with weapons to see if anyone evolves hands." The joke imagines accelerating evolution by dumping weapons into the sea so marine life might evolve hands to use them. Votey (bonus panel): a crudely drawn man's face. An off-panel voice asks, "Where'd you get that barrel?" and he answers, "Costco."
