Could it be filled with Rube Goldberg contraptions that have the potential to fail spectacularly?

Is that tendency to spectacular failure not what makes Acme products so humorous?

Do it not remind you of watching Starship launches with the possibility of a rapid unscheduled disassembly?

Could it be that Starfleet developed a method of of reducing catastrophic failures by routing it into the one area of the ship that wouldn't put anyone in danger: The Holodeck (aka The Ship's Death Chamber)?

Does anyone else think that FIFA's management showed their incredible cowardice by reversing Balogun's red card suspension and then claiming that Belgium's appeal was not valid?

Did anyone else have trouble making sense out of the previous question?

Was that the intent of the original poster?

Who knows?

Not to apologize, and I'm also not too familiar with, but, at least in here, football players - specially on the high ranked teams - already do three championships at once (national one, plus the various cups): if they do have to partecipate at the Word Cup I guess they wouldn't have neither 10 days of vacations before the new season's cup start (trainings start in august iirc). Going there just not to win, and loosing also the vacations, wouldn't that be too much (seriously, but lol)?

Can seven maids with seven mops sweep a beach clean in half a year?

poohbear_nc · Yesterday, 10:08 PM

What would they be paid?

Who big is the beach? How do you define what a clean beach is?

Which was the documentary movie, iirc featuring Brad Pitt, showing "the sand wars" as the first ever problem on Earth? (I can't really recall it)
Wouldn't pretending to imagine 7 maids doing so, instead, be the verily first problem?

Do you need seven maids? Wouldn't the tide do much of the work?
