Larry Miller Premium Member about 14 years ago
I see no bikini. That’s good but different from the usual bikini removal.

I much prefer home fries. I don’t WANT to draw Doug (but I could if I wanted). Who created the pixels? God-Man! Yay for God-Man! (About time for another “God-Man”, Ruben…)

The astronaut is going to be pixelated if the chaos butter fly does not get his imaginary friend a rare hamburger.
Draw that!
Oh, wait - he already did - never mind.

I never wanted to be an astronaut.

re antarctica: sublimation of snow could esplain that. Even in sub-freezing temps, snow in sunlight can change from solid directly to gas (water vapor) without first becoming liquid. But maybe I’m wrong maybe I’m wrong! I’m no glaciaciaciologist!

That’s everyone’s punch line, and each of us is a straight line.

Same thing happens in the mountains in northern regions. What happens is that the snow at the bottom compacts to ice under all that weight. Ice isn’t really a solid at those temperatures and pressures, it’s more like an extremely viscous liquid. The ice flows down the mountain (it’s called a glacier at that point) to the sea where chunks break off and melt.

I prefer my burger often.
