There used to exist a whimsical hb idea to strap buttered toast to the back of a cat and drop them. That idea doesn't seem to be findable anymore, but someone found it/thought it up on their own and made a short enrgy drink commercial about it. I thought you might want to see it. [link]
It's
just the way I pictured it...
Muhaha Muhahahahahahaha

It wasn't unique to the HB. I'm pretty sure it originated
with a cartoon in some science magazine. |
|
|
Fab find 2-fries love it! |
|
|
That's hysterical. Think someone read our idea? |

In fact, even that quote seems to have Greek roots,
that are much older than the Book of Ecclesiastes. |

Comment found on above-mentioned video "...No matter what adhesive I tried both cats land on their feet and both pieces of toast land butter side down...." |

suspicion of B-o-r-g involvement |
|
|
I doubt it; dead cats hardly ever land on their feet. |

Wonders how [Alterother] knows this for fact. Scared

Not scary, [blissy]; I grew up in a veterinary clinic. I've
spent a lot of time around dead animals. We try to treat
them with utmost respect, but in the hustle-bustle of a
busy
workplace, you know... Things get dropped sometimes. |

In high school Honors Art, the class was assigned to do a
series of still-life illustrations of the same subject in
several different drawing styles. I drew question from the
instructor when I displayed eight drawings of a Labrador
Retriever. I salvaged my grade when I explained that the
dog was recently deceased, and that I had arranged it in a
life-like pose. The only girl in the class who
didn't wilt (or pretend to) ended up becoming a vet tech
and later came to work for my father. |
|
|
The owners of the dog later accepted one of the sketches
as a gift. They weren't upset in the slightest that I had
taken advantage of their loss to complete my assignment. |

Good lord, is HB a multi-species affair..I never knew..but does it matter what shape you are? |
|
|
Erm, what shape are you, if I might ask? |
|
|
The traditional human shape, one of the larger specimens
possibly... Although, if my victims could speak, you might
get a somewhat exaggerated description from them. I
understand that, just before the kill, when my sword is
drawn and death is nigh, I appear to be over 7' tall, with
glowing eyes and the anima of a burning crown projected
above my head... |
|
|
I am the Heathen King, after all. |
|
|
//burning crown projected above my head. |
|
|
Just as well it's a projection, you'd never get past it Health and Safety otherwise.. |
|
|
I've never seen it myself... Apparently it's only visible to
those who have angered me. |
|
|
<wonders exactly how the Devil would cope with Health and Safety> corks on fork tines, no more than 35 degrees temperature water in sinner-boiling pools, Brimstone banned except in areas with the proper breathing apparatus...a safety rep, a first aid kit and trip hazard cones all over the place... |
|
|
And in some strange way it would be even more hellish after refitting. |
|
|
I wonder, with the number of morbidly obese and generally people of poor health on the rise, if heaven and hell have had to retrofit their steps to escalators and handicapped ramp access. "In my father's house there are now slightly fewer, though larger rooms..." Perhaps it's a good thing the universe is expanding. |
