--- Quote from: BenRG on 09 Aug 2017, 23:13 ---Seriously, though, 'What if...?' is a real poisonous direction to take your thinking. Especially if you aren't ready to counter it with "How likely is it...?' Remember, folks: All things are possible but comparatively few things are likely.

Problem is people are generally lousy at gauging the likelihood of bad things happening. A good example are the people terrified of dying in a plane crash when the stats all say they are more likely to die in the car ride to or from the airport. Driving is actually far riskier than flying, yet every day millions get behind the wheels of their cars and drive off with nary a thought about the possibility of an accident.
OldGoat:
Hanners and an anthropomorphic Winslow feeding off each other's anxieties could be a really bad non-comedic thing. I'm calling it now - Momo will take charge of reality checks and do a pretty decent job of keeping the two of them grounded and centered. She'll reel the lapses in while they're still funny and before any lasting damage can be done.
brasca:
While AI abduction might be a problem in their universe anyone who grabs Winslow would get Bubbles going Liam Neeson on their asses.
Method of Madness:
Bubbles: What I have is a very specific set of skills.
Kidnapper: Good l-
(loud crash as Bubbles smashes through the wall)
Kidnapper: What the hell? The door was open.
(Bubbles looks at the wide open door next to where the wall used to be, then looks back at the kidnappers who have sensibly handcuffed themselves to a table and are confessing to the police on speakerphone)
Stoon:
I thought it was unlikely for an alligator to be in Boston...and then I saw this:
--- Quote ---When Walter Ertsinian's 11-year-old daughter saw an alligator in the yard of their Hamilton home, she thought it was a pool toy.
Then the creature moved, and she understandably "freaked out," he said.
The girl had just gotten out of the family's backyard pool when she spotted the 1.5-metre alligator at the side of the house on Tuesday.
Ertsinian was inside, getting ready for his 25th anniversary dinner when he heard his daughter shouting and ran outside.
When he saw the alligator, he was surprised. He did the only thing he could think to do — he called 911.
How the alligator ended up on Ertsinian's property on Webster Road, near Centennial Parkway, is anyone's guess, although Hamilton Animal Services says it is likely an escaped pet.
