It's always freezing, but never Christmas.<br /><br />If I remember rightly, the White Witch actually rules from her fortress north of Narnia. By some accounts, this region is mountainous.... and therefore going to be one of the last places to be hit by the deluge of water. The White Witch will basically be the last inhabitant of Narnia affected! <br /><br />Speaking of the deluge of water.... what's also overlooked by the comic is the fact the region around the wardrobe within Narnia is, in fact, a dense forest. Even if there were a great spurt of water its momentum would just break on hitting the trees. Again, soaking some tree nymphs or something.<br /><br />Also, forgive my total lack of science knowledge here (this might be totally wrong) but..... even if the Earth ocean *did* tumble through into the Narnian ocean, how much higher would the water level ACTUALLY rise? Because wouldn't it reach a kind of equilibrium once the water level reaches the top of the wardrobe? <br /><br />And lastly, Narnia has a coastline, so when the water from the Earth ocean hits the Narnian ocean, what then? Nothing. That's what. <br /><br />tl;dr- this is a useless attempt to assassinate the White Witch, as the only way she'd possibly be pwned by this is if she just happens to be strolling in front of the wardrobe door at the time. It's a bit like giving Robert Mugabe a bunch of papers to sign in the hope he'll eventually give himself a papercut on his jugular.<br /><br /><br />Dissecting xkcd logic = serious business, doncha know >;DRumbleroarhttp://www.purple.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-74943182915467433922011-11-04T10:34:41.639-07:002011-11-04T10:34:41.639-07:00Rob, you make a total ass of yourself as you don&#...Rob, you make a total ass of yourself as you don't understand that the wardrobe is at the bottom of the ocean, "you dumb fuck."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-2541170266578886452011-11-03T14:30:47.129-07:002011-11-03T14:30:47.129-07:00Wow... you all should get out more.

Using a simplistic and easily recognizable equation to get a rough estimate of what your absurd hypothetical situation might be like (with is actually what engineers do with real technical problems when they want to get a rough estimate of what they're up against), or as Elly suggested, write a Goddamn dissertation to get your flow physics exactly correct?<br /><br />Here's a hint: Most people don't think a joke is funny if you have to spend ten hours explaining it.Wallynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-80476074374190040852011-11-02T16:04:08.990-07:002011-11-02T16:04:08.990-07:00*Polite cough*
