Things that you learned from cartoon science...

Vanishing cream really works!

A man on a glider has ample room for a parachute.

Even when no one suffers casualties the villians will always run from a battle if more of their cars/planes/gliders are destroyed even though the crews are fine.

If you are really strong and need to move the earth you simply have to push down while you fly. No adverse effects will occur.

You can hide construction of your super evil fortress from the eyes of Super beings with both xray and telescopic vision so long as you stay in the swamp.

(Add on) And if they locate your super evil fortress you can always return back to the same Swamp because they’d never suspect you of using the same location twice.

Spinning really fast can change gravity/reverse time/send objects into other dimensions/create tornadoes/cause objects to levitate

Even animals that don’t wear clothes still have pockets from which they can pull coins, mallets, anvils, etc.

It is possible to build a car where the body of the car is supported on the wheels by telescopic stilts. When the car drives over undulating hills, the body of the car remains level and only the wheels move up and down.

That’s not science; that’s law.

All you need to survive in space is a clear plastic bubble helmet. Not even oxygen tanks, and you can even wear your Wonder Woman costume.

When birds dive, they make sounds like WWII fighter aircraft.

When two characters run through a pipe that gets progressively smaller, the lead character will emerge from the other end of the pipe at normal size, but the pursuing character will emerge from the pipe at a size equal to the small opening at the end of the pipe.

Clearly, toon glasses use embedded eludium to focus light in place of conventional optics (which are unreliable in C-space*). In the case of very thick glasses, this can lead to interesting spatial anomalies, such as translocation of previously viewed objects and extraordinary flight capabilities in paper aircraft. They are, in effect, *non-*explosive space modulators.

  • As an example of the unreliability of conventional optics, consider shadows. It has been empirically demonstrated that toon shadows can behave in a manner that does not correspond to the movement of the light source or the casting body. Shadows also lack a penumbra, indicating that diffusion does not operate normally in C-space.

I am probably enjoying this thread too much. :slight_smile:

Cartoon characters never have to use the bathroom (I realize this doesn’t necessarily apply to newer cartoons where bathroom humor is more prevalent).

When a body becomes a projectile aimed at a wall, his body will form a hole that conforms to the shape of his body at the time of impact.

Gravity will act upon a body in waves. In other words, the feet will fall while the rest of the body remains in place. Next the torso will follow, and finally, the head.

Coyotes live in an Escherian world where, no matter where they are, there’s always a steep cliff which, upon falling off of it, will take them down to a far lower elevation.

Failing to take a left turn at Albuquerque will cause one to travel off course and miss his destination.

Rabbits travel by burrowing underground.

No, I think the most powerful device in the universe is a well sharpened yellow pencil with a large pink eraser. :wink:

It is possible to levitate up to 1 1/2 feet off the ground simply by unholstering a pair of six-shooters, aiming them at the ground a short distance to either side of yourself, and firing several dozen times in quick succession. Reloading is not necessary, since six-shot revolvers hold an infinite supply of ammunition.

A vampire must say “Abracadabra” in order to turn into a bat. In its bat-form, the vampire must say “Alakazam” in order to return to human-shape. These powers respond equally well if an individual says the magic words to the vampire, an important technique for surviving vampire attack.

Martians, Mars-dogs and big hairy monsters are easy to spot because they all wear Converse All-Stars high-top sneakers.

Mail-order catalog orders often arrive the same day, often before the postman has even emptied the mailbox with the order form in it.

No matter how smart the most intelligent person in the group is, the goofy guy and the dog have incredible powers of observation and deduction that enables them to solve all the mysteries.

All cliffs/buildings have one branch/flagpole sticking out that you can grab on to while falling.

A pair of horn-rimmed eyeglasses completely hide one’s true identity.

High-class villains speak like Orson Welles. Low-class villians have Bronx accents and wear black and white striped shirts with newsboy caps.

If you are hungry enough, the person or animal next to you actually becomes fully cooked and ready to serve for a moment.

When you drop an anvil off a cliff and then fall off after it, you will actually overtake and pass the anvil, which will then change trajectory so it is directly over you.

I think you mean “Hocus Pocus” instead of “Alacazam”.

If a third party says “Hocus Cadabra” or “Abracapocus” in the presense of the vampire, the vampire will become part bat and part vampire.

Regardless of your geographic location, digging or boring a hole directly through the center of the earth will always terminate in China, where you will be met by a guy wearing a pointy hat.

Agreed, but you definitely need the Tooniversal Tour Guide campaign book to unleash the most comedic potential from the game – Toon rules and schticks for sci-fi, fantasy, giant monsters, giant robots, and lots more.

Heck, all of Doc Cross’ Toon suppliments are recommended.

If you hold your breath your face will change colors, going from flesh to red, purple, blue, green, plaid, polka-dot, checks, etc. until the air is released.

Bulls can fire bullets out of their horns.

If you don’t study law, no laws will affect you. Even the law of gravity.

  1. You can paint anything you like with a few quick strokes from a brush dipped in a paint bucket. Multiple colors and patterns will result.

  2. Any object you desire can be pulled from behind your back, or from your bottomless pockets.

  3. No rules apply to those who carry giant pencils (with eraser).

Yeah, but real planes don’t stop during a 500 mph dive, six inches above the ground.

Heat transfer and chemical reactions are nearly instantaneous, allowing custard pies to be baked (and thrown) in under three seconds.

Quantum uncertainty runs rampant as firearms, anvils, and mallets spontaneously appear out of empty space.

Rocket propelled running shoes will always run out of fuel over a deep abyss.

If you stick your fingers in the barrels of a double-barreled shotgun, the other end of the gun will explode in the shooters face. Shotgun barrels can also be tied into a bow causing the same result.

Objects in containers have no weight. A 500 lb. anvil in a sack can be easily carried in one hand, but as soon as it is removed from the sack, it becomes incredibly heavy.

If you shout into a bag or other container, the sound will remain inside, coherent, and will blast the next person to open the container and look inside.

I was so disappointed when I discovered this didn’t actually work.
