          Cool, and by the same token I assume it would float on Mr. Biden.

                It reminds me a little of the Isuzu Impulse I owned around that time, it had a similar fancy dashboard

                    @Ivorythumper this is something, in all my years, that I never thought about.

                      It would be nice to imagine the vomit force being due to a rifling action of the neck, but alas, it's just boring ol' gravity.

                        As someone who, presumably, has never had someone literally vomit into your (unmasked) face*, you have no standing to comment in this thread, @Horace.

                        *1993, Sunday afternoon, ICU. Yeah, that was more than special.

                                    It’s out of tune with itself so it’s not just a recording artifact.

                                      May 9, 2021: The biggest comet in the Solar System is actually a planet. It’s Mercury. Researchers have known for years that Mercury has an enormous tail. Last week, Andrea Alessandrini photographed it from the balcony of his house in Veroli, Italy:

                                          That's just damn cool. We tend to assume that, because we can't see things, they don't exist.

                                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
