Now you've made me hungry. |
|

Are you silicon-based, then ? |

The Natural History museum could use this. They hold about 35 million insect specimens. Assuming only 5cm per insect, a belt just over 1000 miles long would allow visitors to view the entire collection. Assuming 1 second per insect, this could be accomplished in a little over a year. |

I could see this system working at all kinds of museums. The
Louvre, for starters. |

Well, I know of some girls that are silicone-based, but I prefer the natural herstory museum. |

Fabulous [+] other subjects for sushi-boat conveyance
should also be identified as rapidly as is mutually
convenient, and then deployed with gusto. |
|
| |
Oh, you mean listed. Boats may list, but ... |
|
| |
Umm, call me thick if you will, but what's a sushi boat? |
|
| |
Very well, if you insist. You are thick. |
|
| |
I'll go find a sushi boat for you. |
|
| |
Ahhh, Kaiten-zushi...why didn't you say so? |
|
| |
While I have your attention, what is the phrase for " just feed me what you think is best " ? |
|
| |
I suspect that [beany] has confused the words "boat" (or possible "boin") and "belt". |
|
| |
somewhere on the link page it does say "Some restaurants use a fancier presentation such as miniature wooden "sushi boats" traveling small canals or miniature locomotive cars." |
|
| |
Wow. Just wow. Sushi bent on self destruction. The things I learn from this place ... |
|
| |
Oh, and the interweb informs me that the word I'm looking for is " omakase ". |
|
| |
There's also "Kaizen", a quality term that means "improvement " or "change for the better". |
|
| |
Much subtle and harmless amusement may be had by eliding Kaizen into Kaiten in conversation and documents, eventuality leading to the top management unknowingly emphasizing the importance of manned suicide torpedoes as a route to better productivity ... |
|
| |
"ten(goku)" is "heaven", so it should be Kaiten-tengoku, but maybe they ran out of paint? "Jigoku" is "hell", the really volcanic bit of Japan is named as this. |
|
| |
Persons of a nervous disposition will be pleased to know no actual sushi was harmed in the production of the subs. |
|
| |
As for committing suicide please go check the Dentsu advertising company... |
|
| |
Flying models of Japanese WW2 aircraft, packed with explosives and with just enough fuel for a one-way trip ... |
|
| |
Maybe the individual sushi boats could be painted dull grey, with names on them like "Kaga", "Soryu", "Akagi" and "Hiryu" ... at the end of the conveyor, they fall off into a very, very deep tank of seawater, and sink. |
