Re: An impressive question from a twelve year old.

Wow, from the science of space to biscuits, that was a segue that I didn't see coming.

In the spirit of the above quote from Gavin: it's not "fruited cake," it's "fruited plains...... you know, as in the song, "America the Beautiful," and the line "...above the fruited plains...."

Yes, the universe is amazing, isn't it?

The real question : If Skunky were tied to a 10 foot tether that was tied to a box of fig newtons and both were in geostationary orbit at 22,000 miles out, would they remain in orbit?

Or would Skunky reel in the fig newtons, eat them, change his mass, and fall out of orbit? It is . . . a mystery wrapped up in a condundrum inside some figgy goo wrapped up in a cake-like outer layer. Hmmmm . . .

THE EFFECT OF A FULL PACKET OF FIG BISCUITS ON A SMALL SKUNK ARE TO GRIM TO EVEN THINK ABOUT.

Re: An impressive question from a twelve year old.

Anyone tried the new "Strawberry Newtons"? They are rather tasty too. I think there is also whole wheat Newtons, but I haven't tried them yet... I am afraid I may overindulge which may put me into orbit. Hmmm... I wonder how many wheat Newtons it would take to reach geostationary orbit?

Substitute "fig biscuits" for skunk & prunes and ... all bets are off

Now if Skunky were to eat a full packet of " Wagon Wheels " followed by a packet of " Carmel Logs ", then follow that up with a packet of " Munchmallows ", all washed down with two or three cans of " Irn Bru ", I'm sure that he would have enough stored energy to cause a major accident somewhere near the Van Allen Belt.

All this without the aid of a single Fig Roll!

Most Scottish kids eat this for breakfast!

Nice pic of Skunky there, MoMo. How'd you get it? I understand he's very camera-shy!!

Don't tell him, but I caught him as he was slipping out the back door of a Lay Preachers' Convention in downtown L.A. " Let us spray...."

( The Real Story )

I have his territory pegged out with surplus CTV Cameras which are now ten-a-penny because there are 4,000,000 looking at U.K. citizens right now, so there isn't room for any more here!

I also have him tagged so that I know all his movements ( no jokes, please! )

I also have all of you in the system! ( demonic laughter )
