# *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

# 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.

# 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.
