The ultimate in being environmentally sensitive...

Good way to spread disease.

Maybe on Neptune but then the transportation costs are a tad bit high.

The utter impracticality means it will surely become an environmentalists favorite.

Yeah, and freezing is 32F == 0C; once ice is frozen solid, how much more frozen can it get?

Thanks, Rich

Do you dig your food out from under tree roots?

Thanks, Rich

Unless Al Gore heaths it with his plentiful supply of hot air.

Your brother or your kidney?

Tony preferred the one with one leg.

At first, I laughed.

How many of them survive (apart from the talking heads "owners" of casinos)?

I felt guilty too, until I realized that I have an opposable thumb just because of some grand-grand-grand and so on, father of a bitch.

His own business, I pay all of my taxes. So to speak.

If I could get paid for my kidney, I'd sell it. Wouldn't be cheap, however.

But organ transplantation is weird. The doctor that takes out the organ gets paid, the guys that transport it get paid, the doctor that installs it in the recipient gets paid, even the end patient gets the biggest payment of all - life.

Everybody gets paid except the one guy without whose contribution none of that could take place.

That's just not right.

Thanks, Rich

Come to think of it, I'm not sure if I saw it in theater or later on TV.

I'm not really a fan of 'future doom' Sci-Fi, although there are exceptions (Planet of the Apes being an example), and have more a Seven of Nine outlook: "we will adapt" (Possibly inspired by the Marine motto "improvise, adapt, and overcome")

Despite my preference, though, I usually end up eventually seeing most Sci-Fi, except for animation. I don't know what it is or why but I never watched even my favorite, Star Trek, in animation.

I wouldn't rate Soylent Green as a 'great' movie but the punch line is iconic.

I heard of it but that's the extent of my acquaintance.

Quite a bit. Just as there are allotropic forms of iron (see austenic = and martensitic for starters) there allotropic forms of water ice.

Maybe he likes truffles?

Most metals are pretty good conductors, thus you can pick up most any metal using electromagnets. Similar to how a squirrel cage motor works.

Have you ever actually tried this with, say, aluminum or stainless?

Thanks, Rich

My preference is for my body to be dumped unembalmed in the deep ocean, and for a memorial, plant a few trees.

Me thinks he's forgotten about the iron core in a squirrel cage motor's rotor, forgotten about the fact that the windings simply magnetize the iron, and that the windings are loops, not just loose bits of wire!
