Agreed. However system changes start with small things slowly rolling into larger ones. Kind of like a snowball rolling down a hill until it becomes unstoppable.

No problem. I've got a few jokes for you straight off the bat - what's brown and sticky? A stick. What's ET short for? He's only got little legs. Did you hear the one about the constipated mathematician? He worked it out with a pencil. Doctor doctor, i feel like a pair of curtains. Pull yourself together! What's black and white and eats like a horse? A zebra. What's black and white, black and white, black and white? A penguin rolling down a hill.

Hell, Tim Vine does hundreds of one liners in half an hour and the majority of them are not at anyone's expense.

I think you've confused what you find funny with the term "humour" as it were. You may only find shadenfreude funny, and so you think all humour is shadenfreude, but it is patently obvious that things can be humourous without being at someone's expense and i find it almost petulant to be asked to prove it when it is so obvious. You almost certainly know loads of jokes like that. How does Bob Marley like his donuts? Wi' jam-in. I stood there, wondering why the frisbee was getting bigger and bigger..... and then it hit me. What did the fish say when he swam into the wall? Dam.

From what i remember of Lenny Henry's standup (like him or not) in the old days, he didn't often tell a joke at someone's expense. Tommy Cooper used to make people laugh by doing bad magic tricks. Les Dawson used to make people laugh by playing the piano badly as only a good pianist can. Terry Pratchett makes me laugh by conjuring up funny situations in a fictional world. I laughed at the Big Lebowski when he shaded the pad of paper to see what secret notes Jackie Treehorn was making and it turned out to be a doodle of a man holding his own cock. What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh. I bought some new viagra eye drops, cos they make me look hard. What do you call a man with a shovel on his head? Doug.

I could go on and on and on, but i don't get paid for this and i have other stuff to do, but i hope i've opened your eyes to whole new realms of comedy where people don't get hit in the face with stuff. Where are the Andes? At the end of your wristies. Why didn't the skeleton go to the party? He had no body to go with.

I'm so confused by your request for proof that i feel like someone's asked me "Air? What air? There's no air, i can't see any!"

I'm utterly dreading to read your reply if it says anything along the lines of "That ET joke is offensive to short people! That skeleton joke is offensive to people with eating disorders! The penguin joke is offensive to the penguin you pushed down the hill!" Please don't embarrass us both by doing that, we both know those jokes aren't offensive. (Or very funny, to be honest.)

At first I thought maybe he wasn't an idiot... and was just going to film it rolling down the hill more... but no, he was trying to stop the thing by grabbing it.

If "most people" actually felt uneasy watching a ball roll down a hill, they would downvote it.

It's anti-democratic to try to find loopholes to get around the community's majority opinion.

I smell a fake. Those snowballs didn't dramatically increase in size as they rolled down that hill..

Looks like so much fun. Reminds me of this too

I know these devises work and are excellent.
however in this case I think its highly unlikely she would have been seriously hurt /substaintaily berried without the bag.
The snow didn't have much of a chance to brake up and envelop here and was mostly large chunks rolling down the hill side , not giving much of an opertunity for the bag to really function.
obviously someone can die stuck under just a small amount of snow , There are far far more impressive demonstrations of the technology actually working with dummies falling down huge mountines in massive avalanches.

Do you have a link to one of those demos?

Why didn't they put someone inside it first?!


By the sound of it, you'd think they did.

>> ^grinter:
..and why didn't they light it on fire first?
I mean, as long as they were polluting...

Point taken, but I prefer this idea of fun, rather than them attacking homeless people, destroying neighbourhoods, or mugging old ladies.


You mean we can't do ANYTHING thats fun anymore??

Well, if those are your only choices...I guess I'll go with polluting also
Darn those brown people.
