Personal Protection from Climate Change

[Don]

Finally, a personal solution to Global Warming Climate Change. You, too, can be prepared for whatever disasters the future brings -- SurvivaBall (http://www.survivaball.com/index.php).
SurvivaBall is nothing less than a self-contained living system—truly, a gated community for one. If you have a SurvivaBall, even if everyone else is dying, at least you can weather all storms.

While others look to Senate bills or UN accords for a climate solution, we look to our best engineers.

The promotional video (http://www.survivaball.com/promovideo.php) provides a quick overview of the system.

Be sure to check out their YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/user/TheSurvivaBall) channel, filled with informative videos.

"does this SurvivaBall make me look fat?"

[Lost World]

Get one while they last! These could well put Al Gore out of business, so expect Ted Turner to buy the manufacturing rights.

[Fran]

Veeeeery sexy.

All it needs is a hat with a windmill on it and you could generate electricity too!

[robeiae]

Suppose your nose itches?

[Bird of Prey]

It looks like a simple pin prick would turn the survival ball into a pancake. . .

[Gretad08]

Suppose your nose itches?

I guess survival is totally different than surviving comfortably.

If you have an itch you're SOL.

Or a toothpick. That baby would pop like a big fat zit.

[alleycat]

I would love to find someone wearing one of those, particularly if they were standing on a tall hiill . . . 'cause they would soon be at the bottom of the hill! I wouldn't be able to resist.

Or a toothpick. That baby would pop like a big fat zit.

Yeah, and I hope whoever buys one doesn't have a cat. It'd be like my infamous kitten vs inflatable chair incident. What was I thinking? :)

[Rolling Thunder]

What happens if you fart? Will the suit convert the energy to power or would you just suffocate from the stench?

Personally, I like the fact that it can steal energy from any living creature. Sorta like being the Dom DeLuise of vampires.

[robeiae]

Or like the act of reading your posts...

[Rolling Thunder]

You're just mad because all your vowels won't fit inside.

[mscelina]

The round ones would.

[Rolling Thunder]

Then that means the 'b' has to go. It would poke a hole in the suit forcing a call to one of the Emergency Suit Extraction Technicians.

[mscelina]

better take the i too--that dot could become a lethal projectile if he's not careful.

[Rolling Thunder]

*refrains from making the obvious 'Yeah, that could put an eye out' joke*

[Synonym]

You may survive, but the species won't. Hilarious.

[Bartholomew]

...it's a joke, right? right?

Does it come in any, more attractive colors?

Spoilsport! :tongue

[Rolling Thunder]

Spoilsport! :tongue

I couldn't stand the thought of Bart suffering. :D

[Synonym]

Bart, would they make it look like a pill-bug if they were even partially serious?

[Zoombie]

The first version of the stilsuit was quickly forgotten by the Fremen as soon as they found out how to make one that was more photogenic.

[benbradley]

I wonder if Michael Moore is going to buy one.

[Bartholomew]

Suffering? I was about to shell out for one.
