In other words, why a duck?? And while not having read the original argument, nature really does abhor a vacuum; even deep space has matter in it (albeit, it’s very, very, very little matter, but it si there). And I’m not going to argue anymore, this is giving me a headache. Press on if you dare. ---

We’ll have to convene a court-martial to rule on whether a Pit thread about vacuums has any content whatsoever. Ensign Harding can be summoned back from vacation to testify. ---

It’s not just nature that abhors a vacuum. My cats do too. I’m not sure about ducks. ---

Since witches are burned at the stake, they must be made of wood, since it burns as well. Wood floats on water, as do ducks. Therefore, if the vacuum weighs the same as a duck, it must be able to float on water, which means it is made of wood, and consequently must be a witch. ETA. Seriously, my daughter asked me a questions or I’d have been in before Folacin. ---

I’m sure that it has not escaped people’s notice that “Bill Doors and the Arrogant Cocks” would have been an excellent 80’s punk band name.
