You have pointed out the core of the problem. Damn you. And thank you, of course.<BR/><BR/>A. How do we know Mr. Hodgman is not a pod person?<BR/><BR/>B. How do we know Mrs. 87rb is not a pod person?<BR/><BR/>C. How do we know reincarnate Fred is not a pod person?<BR/><BR/>D. How does anyone know that they themselves are not pod persons?<BR/><BR/>Logically, everyone should, at one point this evening, should douse themselves with fluids, per The Expert's instructions*<BR/><BR/>If all us remain undissolved tomorrow, the 27th, either They have fled, upon being discovered, and no one among us is a pod person, or Mr. Hodgman has led us astray about the efficacy of these fluids, and we should default to watching him angrily and suspiciously when he is not watching us. <BR/><BR/>I suggest polarized sunglasses. They hide the eyes and filter out his possible use of coherent light to trick us about his actual appearance.<BR/><BR/>*No, don't do that; it's dangerous.bec_87rbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16121613925535123984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17324569.post-1153512320892537182006-07-21T16:05:00.000-04:002006-07-21T16:05:00.000-04:00I firmly feel that you need to go to http://www.ne...I firmly feel that you need to go to http://www.nexopia.com and sign up for an account, and then join us in the Politics and Debate forum. Your guidance and opinion is desperately needed, because a once intense and useful debate is seemingly unfocused, and so many are apathetic to the important causes in the world.

I doubt he will sit still for it, as I am pretty sure given his toothbrush and other odd personal habits, he is a strange visitor from another world already. I suspect I am too late.<BR/><BR/>However, I am glad to know there are easily-available solvents in case I decide I want to remove my pod person. <BR/><BR/>Upon further reflection, you have suspiciously refrained from supplying vital chemical data such as moles of alcohol per unit body weight of pod spouse, so that one might effectively remove the entire pod spouse in one fell swoop.<BR/><BR/>*eye shift nervously*<BR/><BR/>I also now suspect that you are a pod person youself, being oddly endowed with such a wide range of esoteric knowledge, making all your advice a possible <B>ruse.</B><BR/><BR/>Ah, wheels within wheels.<BR/><BR/>To be completely sure, I am going to start from first principles, and test your information - I am off to douse myself in the substances you recommend. This eliminates the possibility that I am a pod person, and to confirm that the solvent is effective, I plan to randomly douse my proported "fellow man" until I find someone who does dissolve.<BR/><BR/>Since you know everything, where does one get a 55 gal. drum of grain alcohol in a way that doesn't perturb the terrestrial authorities?bec_87rbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16121613925535123984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17324569.post-1152467715467921932006-07-09T13:55:00.000-04:002006-07-09T13:55:00.000-04:00I find it funny in a sad sorta way that in today's...I find it funny in a sad sorta way that in today's day and age you need a disclaimer to tell people to NOT douse others with kerosene or grain alcohol..LOL.Annjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03914337057503924724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17324569.post-1152317527835746912006-07-07T20:12:00.000-04:002006-07-07T20:12:00.000-04:00I've been curious about the age old question of wh...I've been curious about the age old question of what to do when the zombies take over. Will grain alcohol work on them as well? A few friends and I have discussed the possibility of using a Walmart/Sam's Club warehouse as a hideout - it would provide shelter, food, guns, and ammo, and we could keep lookout from the roof.<BR/>Any other suggestions?Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858848198641688772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17324569.post-1152243473027029642006-07-06T23:37:00.000-04:002006-07-06T23:37:00.000-04:00Mr. Hodgman,I got myself one of those Stepford Wiv...Mr. Hodgman,<BR/>I got myself one of those Stepford Wives.
