Balloon Science

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Tank You Very Much" published June 3, 2018 - Jason: It'll be a 50 foot wide cylinder, holding nearly 3 million gallons of seawater. The walls will be constructed using four-inch-thick clear acrylic, offering 360-degrees of viewing. Filtration, lighting and temperature controls will all be state-of-the-art, naturally. My plan is to start with Makos and Hammerheads, then once any kinks are ironed out, I'll add the great whites. I'm looking for $5 million in funding in exchange for a 30-percent equity stake. Peter: You seriously want to go on "Shark Tank" to get money for a shark tank?? Jason: Worth a shot.

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Questioned To Death" published April 8, 2018 - Jason says: As you enter the chamber, you come face-to-face with a 50' tall Balrog wielding a 10; flaming sword! Marcus says: Yikes! My archer readies his bow! How far away is the Balrog? Jason says: 30 feet. Marcus says: Is the floor level? Jason says: Yeah. Marcus says: Are we below ground? What's the barometric pressure? Do the flames from the Balrog create an sort of updraft? What's the humidity? Does the air feel damp or dry? Any particulate matter? Dust? Mold? Pollen? What's the acceleration due to gravity on this world? 9.8 m/s²? What about the coriolis forces? I assume this planet rotates. Jason says: ...And the Balrog dies of old age. Marcus says: Woohoo! Any good loot?

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Loot Boxing" published March 4, 2018 - Jason says: Want to buy a "Jason Fox Loot Box"? Peter says: A what? Jason says: In case you aren't aware, loot boxes are the big new trend in video games these days. Players can earn or buy them for a chance at winning cool in-game enhancements and gear. What I've done is create the world's first universal loot boxes! They can be used with any game to get any item! Peter says: How's the work? Jason says: My boxes contain either a zero or a one. Accumulate enough and put them in the right order, and any digital prize in the universe is yours! At least, theoretically. I leave implementation up to the user. It's possible I misjudged demand more than a bit...

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Miserable Code" published February 4, 2018 - Jason says: You look miserable. Paige says: I hab a code. Jason says: A code? I LOVE codes! Marcus and I have 15 different ones memorized that we rotate on a semi-random pattern depending on the third, fifth and ninth letters in the title of the most recent "Rick and Morty" episode when translated into Klingon. So what kind is yours? A substitution cipher? A transposition cipher? Public key? Private key? Wait, don't' tell me! I want to try to crack it! By the way, no you look MORE miserable. Paige says: Mudddherrr!...
