The rotary dial has nothing to do with the speed. A touchtone phone of the era would give the same performance.

The legs may have been lost while in the military, protecting your freedoms. Find out before making jokes. Personally I think noodling is foolhardy, but no more cruel than fishing with a hook. Should the govt protect us from ourselves? I say no, but they should have to pay their medical bills if they get injured. Sadly, there is no easy way to enforce that.

The larger figure is the artist and he lost a pretend swordfight. The letters spell touche. The rainbow is there because kids love to draw rainbows.

"Bees Solve Complex Problems Faster Than Supercomputers"
That headline is incorrect.
The bees only had to solve the problem with 4 flowers.
A supercomputers can solve that problem before the bee has flapped its wings once. Supercomputers get bogged down when the problem involves thousands of stops. There is no evidence that bees find the optimum solution in real world situations.
Still, bees are amazing creatures. I love to watch them work.

Very interesting, but I wonder how much headwind he had. I bet if he had done the same thing in the opposite direction the result would have been far less interesting.

"Magical" would be better used for people who don't waste money on cross country cab rides.

Let's set aside the "oxygen" error and the possible error of "300 PSI". They are just editorial mistakes.
Who wants a heavy motorcycle which only goes 6 to 12 MPH? I can ride my bike 2-3 times faster. An electric bike is much more practical if you don't want to pedal.
And I would not sit on a compressed air tank of 3000 or 300 or even 50 PSI considering how much damage could be done to the family jewels.

Douglas Adams had it right. Breed intelligent animals who WANT to be eaten. Maybe we could feed them Peta holdouts.
I think Dwight Schrute figured out how to harvest meat from a horse without killing it.
Just trying to be helpful.

A motion picture slate on a 35 mm still can? What's next? A 9mm wrench mounted on a 9mm handgun? At least I could use it to fix my car.

My 4 yo was watching me make chili. She asked "what's that?" I said "kidney beans". She screwed up her face and said "kid's knees?"

My 3.5 year old daughter fell and had to get stitches in her lip. She hated it of course, and it was made worse because of the very bright light the doctor used. She always hated very bright lights. She was screaming and wailing while the nurse and I held her steady. Desperate to help her cope, I said "Think of a place you would rather be". Through her cries she yelled "I want to be in a dark room!"

Maybe a maternal bungee jump would be better. Or some high-G turns in an F-22. I'm going to mother hen these ideas overnight before calling my patent attorney.
