It's alright, it's only Japaneses
and two of them count towards one, so you can halve the death toll.

I bet the size of your waist is the same as one of my thighs.

I know they said they were wrestling, Babs
but I think you're old enough now to see the difference.

*QI KLAXON*
they fold them away into a cavity, they don't actually suck them in...it's a myth from "You Only Live Twice"
it is possible to suck them in, but it involves putting your feet in cold water, also known as the cremaster reflex
sorry, I'm such a pedant today

I learned how to do it while away on army camp with the cadets
and the probability of getting kicked in the bollocks rose sharply

No
Unless you are talking about small objects that get caught in my gravity well

I'm going to give you a big cuddle on the 30th
that'll teach you to be self depricating.

I'll look forward to the cuddle
but I was using science:
"a gravity well is the gravitational potential field around a massive body"

Yeah, I know why you said it
and I'm going to punish you by forcing you to have a cuddle of someone you don't know.

Yeah only but no not really, okay?
I'm glad you've learnt something here today.

that's not the problem
everyone know hydrogen is a made up substance, like gold, frankincense and myrrh

Breast fillet Monday
Other breast Tuesday

Wings and the meat from underneath Friday
Boil up the carcass to make a big chicken stew and eat that at the weekend

Wow, you're a genius
If only the motor car industry had thought of this, they never would have built them!
Forget doing years of feasability studies and cost/benefit analyses, your cartoon clinches it.

It's just like that stupid Humvee/Prius comparison
It annoys me when people are desperate to drag us backwards.

um, the motor industry make what they can sell
they're not really into hard ethics

They've currently made a lot that they can't sell too.

you said "If only the motor car industry had thought of this, they never would have built them!"
the reality is: if punters thought of this, the motor industry would never have built them

but plenty of people have thought of this, both in the motor industry and outside.
and the idea is complete nonsense.

i think the point of the cartoon is that changing energy from one state to another requires more energy
and that the folk buying the cars are ignoring the increased energy demand because it's going on elsewhere. hydrogen cars solve urban pollution problems, but that's about it

My point is merely
that the energy to make the hydrogen has to come from somewhere.
