I just (temporarily) solved the fuel crisis

[lb99]

I learned at school (way back when they used to teach you, not bubblewrap you) that part of the upper atmosphere was a layer of methane, so why not send a hose up there and bump it back to earth, compress it and put it in my gas tank:blip:

so we can burn in 4 minutes of UV exposure instead of 15.

Tsk. How impractical. How is thehose to be held up in teh upper atomosphere?

What we need are SENSIBLE suggestions. I have one. Assign each bike one of Mr Poo's cows. Stick a hose up the arse of said cow, and run the bike off the methane in the cow's farts.

But what if the cow does not fart enough you ask? Simple. We feed the cow solely on beans and beer. Farts guaranteed. (Works for me anyway). See. A PRACTICAL solution. Sorted.

what if you used a hydrogen balloon, or attach it to a geostationary sattelite, that would work:nya:

just leave ya leathers on all the time.....the only reason to go outside is to ride anyway:scooter:

So maybe we should be feeding you beans, beers and rubber hoses? It least youll be able to provide conversation while we are 'filling up' our bikes.

Yes but you will be speed restricted because of the cow on the trailer, without which you will be running a stationary motor or taking very short trips. :blip:

Who said anything about a trailer? Just follow the cow. With a sharp stick.

[Lou Girardin]

Why not be your own methane generator? Sure, some people would like inserting the hose a bit too much, but refueling is easy. There's MacDonalds and other shit food outlets everywhere. You may need a lump extractor, a U bend perhaps, for the odd follow through.

[Mental Trousers]

If that's the case I could send a rocket up and explode it in that layer and blow the world up.

RIGHT, GIMME MONEY NOW, LOTS OF MONEY OR YOU'RE ALL DEAD

[lb99]

you towed a tube all the way into space, could you suck out the earths atmosphere using the vaccum of space???

[R6_kid]

if you did said thing with hose you would need to have one on the exact other side of the earth otherwise you risk putting the earth in to an incorrectable wobble.
