#526 - Newton
That would be cool if we could have low powered gravity plating installed wherever you wanted. Put it on the walls and hang paintings without nails. It would be nice to store things on the ceiling in the garage. I wonder if you had it installed in the ceiling of your bedroom if you could adjust the power so that your bed was more comfortable… just a touch below levitation.

Absolute genius… I want it!
June 10th, 2008 at 12:07 am
d00d… i bet that, if newton and biff got together, the world would become very different.
June 10th, 2008 at 12:13 am
I think finding a spot under some tree would been cheaper
But hey… it’s Biff
June 10th, 2008 at 12:24 am
Biff… is a GENIUS.

Trouble with low-power gravity plating on the garage ceiling, is when your power goes out and you find a rake, hedge clippers, and a bowling ball crashed through your windshield.

This would be most useful for my trip yesterday.
No trees whatsoever. DX

I have learned to just accept the insanity on the internet.
Also, is there a picnic theme going on?
June 10th, 2008 at 12:57 am
[sarcasm]Gee, I wonder what the theme is this week…[/sarcasm]
June 10th, 2008 at 1:04 am
Yes, that is a very simple solution.
And how exactly do anti-gravity handles work? Are they devices with handles not affected by gravity? Or are they handles for things already not affected by gravity?
June 10th, 2008 at 1:18 am
*thinks*… if you master that gravity thing, you could become the ultimate in sleeping on nail beds. sure we’ve all seen someone sleep on a nail bed, they have nails everywhere to distribute the weight so it doesn’t hurt. but if you only had one nail, you could be the greatest thing the world has ever known! *blah blah millions blah famous blah blah girls blah blah drugs blah*

this reminds me of those bill nye the science guy shows…
June 10th, 2008 at 1:23 am
@Garrett: Not necessarily. They could have dedicated power supplies. But now I’m just nit-picking. Whatever that means.
But I’d be all over those. ‘Course, then you’d have Olympic athletes attaching them to their shoes and setting a long jump world record of 1.83 miles (17.45 centipede).

Maybe in the future Chris, maybe in the future…
Also if this did happen, I bet I could think of a LOT of fun things to do with it…
(under breath) maybe I could find a way to use them so that it would look like I’m walking upside down in midair…

This reminds of the books of Larry Niven, where people sleep not on beds but in between “gravity plates”, weightless and floating.
June 10th, 2008 at 2:00 am
hm… reminds me of this:

(or google for anti-gravity bed )
June 10th, 2008 at 2:33 am
that’s a good idea, I would need some of these to lift my car and fix it…*thinking*…well I could just attach them to car permanently and convert the thing to levitating car. No more suspension damage from bad streets

Great Geniuses of Humanity:
1>Biff
2>Albert Einstein
3>Isaac Newton
June 10th, 2008 at 4:45 am
Or you could just spread butter on a cat’s back for an inexpensive anti gravity device.
June 10th, 2008 at 6:51 am
Picnic week, indeed.
@Sepezz ; under a tree might be cheaper, but this way, there’re no ants at your picnic!
June 10th, 2008 at 7:51 am
and yet no one’s looking at the big picture for picnicing with anti-gravity plates/handles: no ants
June 10th, 2008 at 10:12 am
Of course!
June 10th, 2008 at 10:25 am
Why not just set the foundation of your house as a giant gravity plate, and put anti gravity stuff on it so you’ll house will be floating? You wouldn’t have to worry about flooding or anything then, but what about strong wind gusts?
June 10th, 2008 at 11:12 am
Biff is awesome, like metal gear. this comic is awesome. Chris, under awesome in the dictionary, there is a picture of you. Nice comic. He should put a rain poncho on top of the blanket, incase it rains.

My question is:
How does one go about “turning it off” without it crashing down?
June 10th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
This being the simple way, I’d be very interested in seeing some of the more complex ways
June 10th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
picnic week???
June 10th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
Realy surrealistic and abstract humour! I like it a lot, thanks for putting a big smile on my face with this cartoon!
June 10th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
@GuyD - You’re welcome!
June 10th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
Hmmm . . . this comic reminds me of . . .
“Boots” # 90

June 10th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
Has anyone noticed that the blanket and cooler from this one are the same as the previous one? I thought that Biff, being Biff, would buy new stuff everytime he went on a picnic
June 11th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
I agree!
June 15th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
couldn’t you just strap one to your back and be able to fly.
some where newton is rolling over in his grave
June 18th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
He borrowed the anti gravity handles from ST:TOS episode #37 “The Changeling”.
June 20th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
A good idea, but not nearly as awesome as the cereal hat.
June 26th, 2008 at 4:06 am
The cereal hat might also be easier to make…. Not easy enough for me to make it in my spare time, but easier than anti-gravity.
July 13th, 2008 at 1:14 am
Wouldn’t they just spin around eachother, like putting buttered toast on the back of a cat?
July 14th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
A great way to watch a football game while avoiding the crowd.
December 13th, 2008 at 11:09 pm
Isaac Newton is spinning in his grave thanks to this comic. xD
