Tweet of the Day, ‘So, Where Are The Oars?’ edition.

That was my first reaction to this:

It’s all very… proletarian. Personally, I’m all for making it all very bourgeois, instead: just as cheap in the long run, and more comfortable getting there. Although there are people out there who actually have a problem with that; I’d call them ‘Puritans,’ except that we rather inaccurately use that term in modern society…

  5. Am I the only one who looked at the diagrams and thought they resembled the benches that they’d chain rowers to on ancient slave galleys?

  6. So, Airship.

    1. Take one perfectly serviceable airliner.
    .
    2. Install oarbanks, a mast, a keel, and a beak.
    .
    3. Paint eyes up front.
    .
    4. Use only where physics are so dysfunctional as to suffer it.
    .
    5. If needed, research triremes, biremes, and airliners, to figure out how many remes for a, whatsit, AC380, and the bigger boeings.

    6. Blame Moe, again, for yet another idea compatible with that project he and Erin got sicsemperstolidissimum started on.
