The idea that odd numbers can’t exist made perfect sense to me the other night between bouts of sleep. 200 years from now, some dude is going to have the same idea, but he’ll write it down and revolutionize all thought. People of the future: that was my idea! So were robots. And genome mapping.

I thought Neptune was a heavy hallucinogenic? It’s brilliantly! Plus, all the best ideas come when you’re brick-faced!
How are you going to distill an entire planet… made of gas! I think I may have found a flaw in robot’s plans.
Robot metabolisms. Go figure.
Albino: Not to mention: where’s the alcohol supposed to come from? You need organic matter and yeast to get that.
However — and it’s not like I actually know anything about physics, mind you, but I can pretend — I think you could maybe distill a gas planet, if you could introduce enough heat to loosen up the particles in the lighter gasses to the point where they could escape the gravitational pull of the planet.
Trouble then is: how is the still supposed to function without gravity and a preexisting pressure system? Sure, maybe you can burn off the light gasses, but they’re not going to have any particular incentive to run up that tube.
Off topic: looks like I took the 1234th comment award with my comment yesterday about the comic title, so instead I’m awarding the Fibonacci Trophy to Golden Joe, whose proposed political allegory was the 1235th comment.
YES. Wow, I just didn’t expect to win a trophy, especially one so mathematically obscure. I just want you all to know, I deserve this.
Also, World’s Greatest Economist has the world’s weirdest mustache.
grumble grumble congratulation grumble
I’m sure the sun’s gravity could do something if you star-trek at it enough.
odd numbers bother me, and I love the man who either has a cool moustache or a clock face face.
heh heh heh. squirrels.
also i think ColdFusion deserves a word for the phrase “if you star-trek at it enough”.
*an award (not a word) my bad haha
I liked it too, but I got too caught up designing a still using the sun to comment.
I am convinced that the entire economy will be replaced in the near future with women’s clothing stores. Nothing but women’s clothing stores. Western Civilization will (mostly) starve because today’s people never had to learn how to hunt and forage in the wild. And what men do survive will not have any men’s clothes to wear.
I call it the GAPocalypse.
Joe, ColdFusion: It’s a Mountain Time face.
