The baby has a horrible diaper rash and is crying hysterically during diaper changes. :( We're on vacation so his diet is pretty different from at home, and he's on antibiotics for an ear infection...probably contributing factors. We're using Desitin and trying to keep him dry, but nothing seems to help...any advice from the more experienced parents?!!

Oh poor thing! My kids were both horribly allergic to wet wipes so I would say stay away from those. Maybe you could let him go diaperless for a little while. I think it helps the rash if it can air out. I wonder if the antibiotics are contributing to the diaper rash. :convinced:

Actually its gotten me all the way on many occasions.

Im not trying to destroy the Stay Puft Marshmallow man or banish Gozer here, dude. Im trying to explode the sun. Pft. Amateurs.

I mean, I realize that the sun doesnt have enough mass to form a real supernova. They need supergiant stars with about eight solar masses at least. But I can still make it expand enough to engulf the earth, if I can only figure out what frequency or raditaion type to use, and how much. How much microwave energy would it take? What about gamma rays? Is there any chance I could spark or even simply detect a gamma ray burst? That would certainly incinerate the planet.

Thanks for the advice, SharonL. We couldn't get his regular wipes at the store here so we used a new kind...we were wondering too if that was part of the problem. I tried to let him run around w/out a diaper this morning, but we're staying with my in-laws who are old school and I think it scandalized them a little!! :tongue: :rofl:
 
are you pondering what i'm pondering?

Oh Squiddy, you're overthinking things. Here's a step-by-step guide to destroying the earth.

Seems you're lacking some lumens Squiddy....:p

Thats because I measure in foot-candles, not lux (or lumens). Hell, I'm so bright, my momma calls me Son. (Sun, get it?)

Enough with the making fun of Squid already. Sheesh.

LS, why the sudden urge to destroy the planet?! LOL Maybe you could destroy the ozone layer and let cosmic radiation do its dirty work. Or, we're prob. overdue for a mass extinction anyway so let nature take its course?! How patiently can you wait? LOL

Ohh! I have an idea that could help!

take 2 HUGE concurve mirrors, shoot them into orbit and align them in a rigid triangle with the sun and the earth so that the sun's rays are reflected in the mirrors and onto the earth's surface. Then sit back and wait for the sizzle. :ignore:
 
I just figure that if thats the way we're headed, lets just get it done already. I dont have millennia or eons to wait. Think it can happen by next weekend?

If I thought that nature would somehow come up with a disease that only affects stupid people, maybe I would let it take its course, but I doubt that.

The ozone layer is already going away (if you believe president Gore). I dont want to make the planet suffer, just destroyed. A solar expansion would take only minutes, global radiation will take years of pain and disease.

Maybe I shouldnt be concentrating on external destruction... If I could somehow cause a large enough earthquke, or a volcanic eruption, that could begin to rip the planet in half... Hmmm.. OKay, Ive got some work to do...

Hey, its kind of like that james bond movie, but I guess more like the Archimedes Death Ray..... I wonder just how precisely it could be focused.. If I could get it to be about 25 miles wide maybe I would only have to destroy the inhabited areas. A contact area one foot wide would be great for those little 'spot cleaning' jobs. Hmmm... Calculations, calculations...

Hey, Monk, can you write me a program for the 89 to help me crunch the figures of global destruction by different means?

My microwave doesn't have a "destroy earth" button. How many minutes should I put it on? Maybe it's time for an upgrade?? :p

Sure thing, bro. Which version do you have: the older one, or the titanium?

OK, OK!! Everybody, at 7pm EST, turn on your microwaves for seven minutes at 98% power. That should do it!!


Monk, I dont have either, but if it will help me destroy the world, I will buy whichever one you write it for.

Don't need that...I kind of already did rough calculations. (what? when I did that I was bored in class and the kid behind me was kicking my chair)...I was thinking of using mirrors with a radius of 100 miles. Doesn't really matter where you aim the ray, the heat alone would destroy everything.

oh and I have a virtual TI-89, if you want the program, I can send you the .zip file for your computer.

I'm trying to discover how to make an energy beam capable of reaching the sun, overloading the fusion mechanism, and causing it to go supernova.

Anyone got any hints? I'm trying to destroy the world. I figure the best way would be to find a way to use up the helium and hydrogen causing it to become unstable, thus kick-starting the cascade.

Someone needs a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster
 
Oh, if only that were a weapon. It sounds like it could easily blow up Earth.

Okay..

Back to my gyoza. Any other contributions to the plan are welcomed.

Feed beans to cows. If (as reported) they are the largest single source of "greenhouse gasses" (methane) on a diet of grass and hay, think what they would do to melt the polar ice caps if they were eating beans!

Perhaps if we find something even gassier, wait.. Beans and cabbage. Give it a year, and the atmosphere itself will be flammable. BOOM!
