Scolopendran scientists have discovered a new property of nature Herself! By using fire inside an enclosed bag of air, we form MONTGOLFIER GAS, allowing the bag to rise off the ground!

With this new gas, we can ride the winds like the clouds. Armies can use these Montgolfier Gas flyingbags to aid in command and control and to better aim their cannon. Maybe we'll even make it TO THE MOON HERSELF.

Who is Xanthol? I feel lost... :PXanthal is a space nation that is widely Ignored. I wouldn't advise going near him, really. I would Ignore him, but I'd lose half my shield tech as I (illegally) copied and modified the tech for my ships.

Oh ok, so i am new to this, you have techs that you can get for your nation? Hmm? Thanks. Do tell me more about getting technology for your nation. Oh and what does Xanthal do if you go around "him", makes your nation disappear?

i'd say the greatest invention was the battery powered
alternative energy charged narrow gauge railroad.
at least you know where you're going and there's a good chance you'll get there.

of course it could be bombed from one of your gas bags

IF

the breeze just hapened to be favorable to getting one into possition

and you never know what delightful new people you'll meet when you land

You hurt me on the inside... Well, if you need a reason to ignore me, I've made a thread with six of them.

TPA scientists have created an even more laudable breakthrough:

By the refinement of several pieces of convex and concave spectacle-glass, we have created a device by which ordinary people such as you or I, can view the tiny animalcules present in drops of pond water and blood.

We call it the MAGNITROPE

Xanthal's two halves begin hopping about on their respective legs.

Xanthal's two halves try to put themselves back together, but only suceed in knocking each other over. Through incredible acrobatic skill, they manage to get up again. One leans on the duller edge of the knife for support while the other hands The Pakleds a baloon.

I'm sorry, but you are all wrong. The best invention ever was the bung heef. It was invented by Oggie Giccaglia in 1998 and patented that same year (patent number 383839488). To find out more about the beautifious bung heef, t-gram The Grand Duchy of I-rey.

Fair enough, I only fired the arbalest because the Walther was, in my opinion, a bit high-tech for this thread.

I cannot, for all the gold in the world, imagine how someone could actually conceive of the motorcycle cow. Antlers on the front of trucks let alone school buses (of which I've seen) is bad enough.

Hehe.

Horns on the grills of buses and trucks seems like a good idea in practice.

I guess it'd be slightly absurd if you were to actually see it in real life.

OOC: What? Unless you want to skewer wildlife or people when you hit them or perhaps impale various pieces of meat and park close to a fire for roasting purposes - I really don't understand.

Besides, that cow motorcycle appears to be missing a gunrack. :)

It doesn't need one. A 20mm cannon resides in the snout of the cow.
