Comments on: CO2 http://comicsidontunderstand.com/wordpress/2008/09/07/co2/ I have no idea whether ''The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy'' is a good album, but I might have to buy it just on the basis of its awesome name Thu, 09 Feb 2012 00:26:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: Tom T. http://comicsidontunderstand.com/wordpress/2008/09/07/co2/#comment-8566 Tom T.

By the time it was over, there wasn't a dry ice in the house. It was actually a very emotional scene. By the time it was over, there wasn’t a dry ice in the house.

You'd have to have a lid on it while carrying it to here, though, since it will diffuse away, but it could be done. Sulphur hexafluoride is an even more dense gas, and there are some neat videos of it on youtube.

Whereas, it was wet water that killed the Wicked Witch of the West. But mainly, it's a global warming joke.

Also a bucket of CO2 would be so cold it would hurt Dorothy's hand if any touched her. Nathan got it right, Glinda is all white and shimmery, not black with a pointed hat.

So why not different 'extinguishers' for 'putting out' different types of witches? The ice-caps thing makes plenty of sense too.

That is, she went through the motions of emptying a bucket of nothing at the Good Witch of the North, killing her (by mistake).

So why does the witch melting look like the wicked witch of the west? Shouldn't the puddle of melting witch be pink and sparkly with a tiara and magic wand? Thats the CIDU here for me.
