I've got a single and a double-cd of the Greek black metal band Rotting Christ and I checked the lyrics for you, but they did not reveal anything about your headache. Sorry about that.

I am aware of that. She was probably saying "Good afternoon" because she was confused. After all, there are still about 2 hours or so until Michigan experiences afternoon.

My music collection is somewhat intimidating, hence my familiarity with the Greek black metal scene. Sure as hell ain't the only thing in my audiotheque, by the way.

Sorry about that, Roco. I thought that Michigan used Central Time. Clearly, I need to work on my time zones more. :p

But it's educational and entertaining! And even if you do not like the webcomic, that doesn't mean you don't look anything like Sister Sweden.
