   hmm.. maybe you’re right.. or maybe they hoped for it to happen. did anyone else notice it says “it was insured for $1.1 million.” I wonder if they collected on that or if they had some problems proving it wasn’t a scam job..

   pliers? yipes! I bet your finger was sore for a couple days. I got the chance to mount/stuff one myself a couple months ago. got poked a few times but I only had one quill actually get a hold of me, it wasn’t bad enough to need pliers but still made the finger tip tender.

   perhaps there are no “mirrors” so to speak, but there are other ways to view an image of oneself, a bowl of water for example.. granted but that will only work if they have water…

   I’m curious if this has been the Benders plan since Oop went back to the future/present all those months ago.. as for ppl complaining about the redundant playback of the strip in comparison to say, Dick Tracy, Dick Tracy uses the Sunday strip to advance another 3 days worth of strips in one day and they parse through stuff faster, but if you only seen the Sunday of that strip (some comics only run on Sunday or only on the weekdays depending on the paper, I know oop was never in the Sunday when we got the paper but ran through the weekly) you’d be lost; while with Oop if you only read the Sunday then you get the condensed story (with only small unimportant bits removed because the slow advance of the story) or if you only get the weekly then you get a more detailed version, sure it moves slow but to me it seems more paper friendly..

   @Astarofdestinyhe said he “couldn’t see a thing for all the smoke”, not that he couldn’t see because he had a towel on his face (=he also had a sketchy excuse “I don’t know how I managed to get out” guess he should have spent a little more time thinking about that instead of what he was going to spend his insurance money on while he watched the place burn..

   @Gocomicsmemberthe vacuum perspective is an interesting viewpoint, just think about it, the bullet would attain supersonic speeds twice!but as Jared Louis said, the bullet will reach a “terminal Velocity” on the way back down, that is where the air resistance is so great that it will no longer fall any faster. I don’t know the exact numbers and I believe a fair share would depend on the projectile (weight, cal, BC ect..) just think of all the duck hunters who would be killing themselves every year if we lived in that vacuum world, but as it is those little BB size pellets fall back to the earth safe and unnoticed. boy, wouldn’t be be something if you could hit ducks with the shot twice though? once on the way up and then again later when they came back down just as fast.. but talk about danger..another thing, what about arrows? not wise to shoot those straight up.. but seriously, who’s that stupid?..
