Did you come up with this plan yourself? Or did you have help ?

You're right. That was stupid. We'd need at least a dozen rolls of Bounty, not just one or two.

It's just basic out of the box thinking really. A very important skill in crisis situations that have no precedents.

The other posts were bad, but I was willing to let it slide. However, this one is a clincher.


I must be nearing 70 by now...

Right, but your basic out of the box thinking is terribly wrong and illogical.

Out of the box thinking is supposed to be "illogical" from the ordinary mind's perspective. But once he figures it out, the ideas that the out of the box thinking generates becomes self-evident to the ordinary mind. First he rejects it, then he accepts it, then it becomes obvious in hindsight.

There's a difference between out of the box thinking and just plain stupid. If you had any understanding of the science behind what you suggest, you'd realize that your plan would never work or would take such a ridiculous amount of time to work that it wouldnt be worth it, and not only that it wouldnt even get rid of the pollution problem it is supposed to solve.

Your posts in this thread all suggest that you are either clueless or have just taken a very poor joke too far.

Just now you guys are figuring this out? I quit reading this thread a long time ago. I came in here now because I saw there were a lot of replies and was wondering if you guys were just feeding the troll or if there was something else good going on.
