If I decided to build a rocketship would you guys help me? How about if I made a totally safe wormhole connecting Holland, Colorado, London, and Guam? We could build it in my backyard. Sh*t we could go to the moon, and do the moonwalk, in a moonwalk, on the moon. We'd have to play football with a 400 yard field, since, 50 yards would be like ice cream that's been sitting in an observatory for 3 and a half years . I bet I'd be able to do the sickest dunks ever on the moon. 1080 no-handed triple windwill backflip tomahawk over Indy from halfcourt on Shaq and Yao.

While we're there, we'd name a crater after Moonbear and chuck all the crackpots off. But then everyone would get addicted to space-opium...

Hows about it?

I'm still trying to figure out if you're just playing here or if you've flipped your wig and are serious. :biggrin:
 
This thread is so dumb. Shaq would fly up 400 feet into the air and eat you

I'm serious, you deserve a crater named after you!

You're so dumb. There's no air on the moon.

You're a bit late with this idea. There is already a group trying to do this, they call themselves the Artemis Project and they've been at it for over a decade.

But they didn't think of the ice cream and basketball...

Wow! You sure know how to flatter the ladies. :rolleyes:

I seriously suspect that you're accessing the Net from an institution of some sort. (That's why I voted 'yes'. :biggrin: )
That entire above quote makes absolutely no sense to me. What has 3 1/2 year old ice cream got to do with 50 yards? And since when does Shaq slam-dunk footballs?
I'll come along on 2 conditions.
1) No stresses over 2g; my health isn't very good right now.
2) No basketball. That has got to be the most useless endeavor ever undertaken by anyone. No fun to do, and even less to watch. (Even though it was a friend of my dad's who invented it—in Almont Ontario where he grew up, using a soccer ball and a peach basket with the bottom cut out.)

So if we actually did this, we'd look as dumb as them...hmm..shame, moon, shame, moon. Hard decision :-p

Well, I was going to put something anthropomorphic there, but I couldn't think of one. That similie doesn't make since.

Oh, I thought that was Al Gore...

About half a dozen apt responses come to mind, but they'd all get me slapped.

There now, my Canadian friend, its only a Moonhole-Bear junction sprocket with cam shaft realignment that will get you in trouble.. "think geek" and do it fast.

Y'know, I might just slap you anyway, but I'm afraid you might like it too much.

I've been eating quite a lot of watermelon seeds since a few days ago by the way.
 
  • #25
by themselves?
 
  • #26
No, I wolfed down the flesh, seeds and all.
 
  • #27
do the seeds get digested or do they pass through intact?
 
  • #28
I haven't checked my poo very closely enough recently to see. Corn passes right through intact. But the inside is digested and absorbed out.
