I can just here the voice in his head.

"Oh god. There she is. All the flying. All the climbing. All the fighting. I've trundled through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered and fought my way all the way to her. This it it, I can't believe I made it all this way. Oh god she's letting me touch her. This is it, my evolutionary purpose. Oh god she's so beautiful. All I have to do i- ......Fuck."

There's atleast five other ponies with the other body parts. Find them all today!

I don't know if anyone else has posted this anywhere, but I nearly died trying not to laugh at this at work. I love how amazingly sporting they are!

@Jurixe @Kresslack: I guess you could call that....Granny Theft Auto.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH...I'll be going now.

I like how they all started having a blast when they started killing people.

How do we get them to test-drive Achaea?

The answer to "How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?" is the same as the answer to "How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature liter of water?", namely: "What's the temperature of the room, and at what pressure?" For a given temperature and pressure, the calculation isn't significantly harder in American units than metric, it just requires knowing the heat capacity of water in whatever energy unit you want to use (and realistically, that's a problem for "metric", too, since afaik, calories are rarely used as a unit of energy outside of nutrition, so you're going to have to look up the conversion to Joules or ergs anyway) and being able to do arithmetic with numbers that aren't powers of 10.

Also, the bit about a gram of hydrogen having a mole of atoms in it isn't an advantage of the metric system, that's just the definition of the mole, which doesn't have different imperial/US/whatever equivalents. And it's wrong, as the current definition of the mole is based on carbon-12, not hydrogen.

When I learnt that metric saying they specified the pressure at 1 atmosphere (thought I may remember wrong) Can't help with the temp though.

We were always told "room temperature and pressure" is 298.15 K and 100 kPa.  Of course, the likelihood of a given room (even a temperature-controlled lab) in the UK being at 298 K is incredibly low.  "Standard temperature and pressure" is 273.15 K and 100 kPa.

Welcome to Australia, where 7 foot long brown snakes knock politely when they visit.

Kyrra

@Jukilian, I didn't think browns were climbers Are you sure that's not just a python?

Tahquil

The aren't. They can but the head shape is wrong for a brownie. There's some way you can tell what a snake eats from the shape of the head. It's nose is to pointy! Maybe insectivore?

Kresslack

Triangular head = venomous, which fits the bill for Australia, and looks very much like a brown snake.

Jukilian

I have personally witnessed something like a 5-6 foot brown snake climb up shelves. At work. Like 3 metres away.

Kyrra

Weird. The western browns I get hanging around my house don't often climb but I've never seen snakes that long either. Haven't really seen snakes around at all since our turkeys started mass producing.. except for the giant olive python that lived beneath the hen house. Turkeys kill snakes.

Good afternoon, Sir. Do you have a moment to hear about our Lady and Savior, Medusa?
