Cue joke about someone getting hit by said waste as it passes through a low temperature zone, leading to an icy B.M. strike.

Bravo.

Soda Sugar Comparisons

Not going to lie, I kind of want four gallons of Skittles.

Note for metric people: A 20-floz bottle is about 60cl, which is around two 33-cl cans of soda, or three 20-cl glasses.

How much is 20 oz, again? Fluid, that is.

On this page, in post 14553, Medinoc says it's about 0.6 litres. So, a bit more than a half-litre bottle.

The first is a lovely example of Irony. The second... but what if I want to dig up Texas to bury the entire planet's atmosphere in?

Heh. On the SF&F Stack Exchange, we recently had someone posting about a story where someone used air compressors to steal the atmosphere. 1974's "Earth, Air, Fire and Water" by Stephen Nemeth and William Walling.

Not sure why "Healthy Balance" is arbitrarily placed on the right side of the scale. You'd think its designers would have aesthetically put it in the middle. Of course, by making that statement I place myself well over on the left side. [lol]

What-If #154: Coast-to-Coast Coasting. Turns out that you'd need a pretty hefty slope to bike across the continental U.S. without pedaling.

I thought this one was pretty boring actually. Nothing blew up or died even a little.

Well, the biker on the 25-mile high ramp most definitely died, but I'm pretty sure that's not what you're talking about.
