I've feared this day would come, and now it has. Based on the recent feedback both on my blog and the Uncle Goblin Show,

I've become irrelevant.

Logging off.

The long awaited next installment of Uncle Goblin Show, the Vlog has Duked (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_hell ). All left for dear Uncle Goblin to do is to pull out the old "when it's done" and move on..

Anyways: Welcome to the awesomest show on all the internets:

the UNCLE GOBLIN SHOW! [Insert scantly_clad_cheerleaders.gif and pomp_n_circumstance.mpg here]

Today's show is a short but good one.

We get to answer two mails today.

The first one is from one of our regulars; Conserned_Citizen.

He writes
Dear Uncle Goblin!

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Dear Concerned

The answer is: to live happily ever after with big ass momma chicken and have a barn and lots of eggs..

I received another mail yesterday, and I just had to share it with you. A question so deep and difficult to answer that frailer minds than my own would implode just contemplating about it.

You ready?

Here goes:

Hello Uncle Goblin! I miss your show and thought I could at least do my small part to get it going again.

So answer me this:

A thermos keeps the warm drink, like cocoa and coffee, warm. And cold drinks, like beer and soft drinks, cold. How does the thermos know?

Love and kisses from Julia Stiles

Dear Julia!

The question you're asking can be answered in two ways:

Philosophically and scientifically.

The philosophical answer is this:

The thermos adopts its owner's aura. Therefore the thermos knows, on a subconscience level if its owner wants a warm drink on a cold day or a cold drink on a warm day.

The scientific answer is this:

The age old scientific thesis of the thermos' surface and core temperature changes has no real solution. One theory suggests that, should f.ex hot coffee be poured into a cold thermos container on a warm day, the coffee would turn cold, the thermos become hot, and it would start to rain. This theory however is regarded by some scientist as "complete and utter bullsh!t"

Another theory is more direct and is widely regarded as the one to hit closest to the mark:

The thermos takes a wild guess.

Followers of this theory are often referring to the great "thermos deus ex machina-experiment" conducted by the late Professor Theodor Inyarface of Colombo University in fall of 1958, and the experiment shows that in 78 out of a 100 times, the thermos is right. The other 22 times, 22 barbeques were ruined by warm beer.

And that concludes today 's show.

Remember kids: Be sure to wash between the toes, to get rid of that fungus!

Uncle Goblin loves you!

It's GREAT!

And Britains rules! France sucks!

(In M2, not in RL! I love you France! I love everything french! Special thanks for the kiss!)
