Versatile stuff.
You can build a house with it.
You can repel insects with it.
You can camoflage yourself with it.
It's an industrial lubricant.
You can slow enemy pursuit with it.
You can entertain yourself and others with it.
When you're coated with mud, you're never quite naked.
It's great for the skin.
It gives jeans that 'worn' look.
If a Predator is hunting you, you can use it to mask your body heat.
You can hide treasure and/or bodies in it.
It cushions you when tackled hard in rugby.
Makes a pretty good medieval moat.

:)

Some cultures actually eat it! :D

It can be thrown at passing cars! :p

Is there anything mud can't do?
Get stains out of clothes. Though it can hide those stains.

If you can't see the stains, are they really there?

I doubt mud would be good for fueling high performance military jet engines....

But if it is, I certainly would like to know.

It probably isn't acceptavle to serve mud to the queen at high tea, although it might be defined as good in some circles...

It also probably isn't a good mixer for cocktails, although certain toasts suggest it may be good for one's eyes...

Mud cannot gratify you sexually...

...or so I've been told

Oh yes it can!

Mud is probably not a good alternative to penicillin.

And whilst it may hide yourself from the Predator, it can't hide you from the Borg.

Lunatic is still here?! Whoa!

Last time I checked, mud cannot do your maths homework for you.

You must have inferior mud up there. ;)

Hey, don't diss my mud!

Oh, and it's highly likely that mud cannot be not-mud.

Oh, and it's highly likely that mud cannot be not-mud.What, like matter and antimatter? So if you combine mud and not-mud, you get... erm... a duck!

Well, I don't know about ducks...

***goes outside and obtains mud and several not-mud objects and combines them***

Nope. Not ducks.








































You get spatulas!

"If a Predator is hunting you, you can use it to mask your body heat."

I was looking for that - thanks for not leaving me wanting :)

As for the "Oh, and it's highly likely that mud cannot be not-mud."

That's not true!!! It's called instant-mud.

Just add water, stirr, et voilà, excellent MUD! :p

Mud...hmmm.
Apparently there are some people even more bored than I am.

Mud pie fight?

Transmuting not-mud to mud does not mean that not-mud is mud, any more than lead is gold, right?

***Stops. Considers particle physics. Cogitates.***

Unless you go to the basics of physics, not-mud is not mud. However, at the basic level of quarks and leptons, not-mud is mud.

(And I may very well present this answer to my teacher as an answer to my latest koan work. In all seriousness. At least it's better than some of the answers I've tried. :))

Okay, well, my point was that if you take the water out of the mud, the mud isn't mud any longer but can be returned to its original state by re-adding water. When I sat in physics class the teacher always sounded like mudmudmudmud...

BUT: You just made my head spin and the only solution to that is to... wait a second...
*dumps about two buckets of mud on Daistallia 2104* :)

Mud does not improve my golf game :(

You might say it makes it worse... :mad:

Mud while a great substance cannot

make a floor clean...

Nor can it write a book(can inspire someone to do so, but not write the book itself)

Start a fire...if it could, we'd never have war again...headline "ACCIDENTAL MUDFIRE ENGULFS EURASIA:WORLD VOWS NEVER AGAIN"

Change a diaper

Mud cannot gratify you sexually...

...or so I've been told

For some people it can.

...

:D

Lunatic is still here?! Whoa!

Help! They're holding me hostage and forcing me to perform for them! :eek:

SO mud can't help you with your math. But it helps with physics. :)

Think of it like resistance training. :)
