E=MC^2 can explain some of this. Mass in general can be converted to a significant amount of energy. Presumably, Iron Man has some fissionable substance like Uranium to power his suit.

To me, SpiderMan is one of the most plausible super heroes. Real spiders create a fantastic amount of webbing considering their body mass. Even the human intestine I believe is two miles long or something. There are certain things you can fit a lot of into a small volume of space.

Energy doesn't move much of anything. All we use that for is moving some kind of mass, whether air, water, or rotating solids. None of those apply to Iron Man.

As for spiders creating a fantastic amount of silk, that's just protein that has to carry darn near no weight. It is created, and reasonably fast, but nowhere near the speed suggested by Spiderman. He's supposedly shooting a VERY strong, reaonably heavy substance (try throwing a feather) on a flat trajectory for a very long distance at a very high speed. Even assuming that the stuff weighed less than an ounce per meter, which would mean that it would be lighter and stronger than any substance known, to get the kind of distance and volume he's creating would mean significant recoil and a HUGE expenditure in weight. Also, unless the stuff evaporated (also like nothing known), he'd be entombing a city at the rate he's going.

By the way, you might want to check on the length of the intestine, though I'd have to say that it took a lot of guts to make the claim that you did.

One of the stranger posts, so it fits right in.

[Niya]

lol. I love that!!!

[dday9]

For whatever reason my scanner keeps scanning that annoying yeller line!

Well maybe not the intestine but I remember clearly my biology teacher back in school a lifetime ago saying something in the human body was something like 2 miles long.

Biology?

[Niya]

Maybe it was physics ?

If you all keep posting images this "not so big in GB thread" is going to start taking server resources...

At which point some mod will come along and tell us it's time to go home

[Bonker Gudd]

I have decided what's happening.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I have not.

[Bonker Gudd]

Yes you have.

[dday9]

Yes you have.

Not?

It won't actually. The images are linked off site which mean that the only resource consumed is the for the unicode string that spells out the hyper links for the images which is arguable as small as most posts in this thread.

Louisianan's love Vienna Sausages.

"The sausage was invented by a butcher from Frankfurt, who had moved to Vienna, which is why in Vienna the sausage is called Frankfurter.

In some European countries, cooked and often smoked wieners bought fresh from supermarkets, delicatessens and butcher shops may be called by a name (such as in German or French) which translates in English as "Vienna sausage". Wieners sold as vienna sausage in Europe have a taste and texture very much like North American "hot dogs" or "frankfurters", but are usually longer and somewhat thinner, with a very light, edible casing. European vienna sausage served hot in a long bun with condiments is often called a "hot dog", harking not to the wiener itself, but to the long sandwich as a whole.

In North America, the term "vienna sausage" has most often come to mean only smaller and much shorter smoked and canned wieners, rather than hot dogs." - wiki

Do you mean the longer hot dogs or the smaller cocktail weiners, and what are they made out of???

[Witis]

Keep dreaming....

Actually there is an upload limit I am almost certain of it, no dream whatsoever. The thing is that all of the pictures are dragging the thread down which also simulates a dream experience of slowed down reality, although we can all see what you are dreaming about!

And Niya loves mermaids.

I think his favorites are dragons!!!

[Witis]

Niya has 333 post. Is he half evil? Or half good?

Rhetorical and classic!

They are in the very same public domain as any post on a forum such as this one. We don't stop people from linking to our posts on other sites do we ? Its the exact same thing. Copyright only becomes and issue when you're thinking about editing those images without the author's consent or using them for commercial gain.

Copyright, as the name suggests, means that you cannot legally make a copy of a piece of artwork without the author's permission or paying them. If you download some artwork and then upload it to a different server without the owners permission then that is breach of copyright.

The images themselves are linked directly from DeviantArt which makes them publicly accessible.

What do you mean directly linked; do you mean like inserting a youtube video into a thread which runs on and from the youtube servers or something else?

[Witis]

Which ever makes me get more women!!!

If you only attract a lot of really rich and successful women, would it be a problem if they asked you to look after their house for them while they are away at work???

[Witis]

moar mermaids ?

Do we have a choice???

[Witis]

It won't actually. The images are linked off site which mean that the only resource consumed is the for the unicode string that spells out the hyper links for the images which is arguable as small as most posts in this thread.

Are you sure? For example if I locate a picture and then add it as a hyperlink then that happens:
http://static1.demotix.com/sites/def...os/1730971.jpg

[Witis]

[Witis]

Ah not a direct hyperlink, but inserted as hyperlinked image; however, a stream of large pictures still drags the thread down!

[Witis]

Yep 2 miles was a very gutsy claim, the truth is the large intestine is approximately 1.5 metres (5 feet) and the small intestine is approximately 7 metres (23 feet) for a total of 8.5 metres or 28 feet.

Two miles is pretty close. 28 feet has a two in it, and both meters and miles could have the abbreviation m for the unit. Therefore, he was off by a single digit.

Although, come to think of it, if he did have 2 miles of intestines in his stomach, there would be a lot of localised swelling, which would resemble a very very heavy pregnancy.

The shorter, fatter ones. And I don't want to know what they're made out of!

[Shaggy Hiker]

Nobody knows what they are made of.

What are the European vienna sausages made from?

Not sure the wiki page doesn't say, perhaps they also get made of out hogzilla: "Hogzilla is the name given to a wild hog that was shot and killed in Alapaha, Georgia, on June 17, 2004, by Chris Griffin on Ken Holyoak's farm and hunting reserve. Alleged to be 12 feet (3.6 m) long and to weigh 1,000 pounds (450 kg), scientists confirmed that Hogzilla actually weighed 800 pounds (360 kg) and was between 7.5 and 8 feet (2.25 and 2.4 m) long, diminishing the previous claim." - wiki

[Witis]

Or Hog Kong -> "Hog Kong was an estimated 1,140 lb (517 kg) wild hog killed in August 2004 by Larry Earley at his 22-acre (89,000 m2) farm near Leesburg, Florida, using a Smith & Wesson Model 29." -wiki
