    the question is: if you strap a missile to a toad, does the toad know where it is?

      The toad knows where it isn’t.

        so you mean that by subtracting where it is from where it isn’t or from where it isn’t from where it is (whichever is greater), the toad can obtain a difference or deviation?

    The SMAW-D and I are having an affair. We thought this would be the least traumatizing time to tell you, buddy. Here, have a Turkish delight.

    Military aircraft? Please. That’s obviously an Unmanned Amphibian Projectile.

      From “missile” (me-sigh-lll) to “messuhl” to “m-ssl”. Then Americans will make fun of the Brits for dropping vowels from town names.

      English has clearly evolved beyond the need for its vowels, and certainly beyond the intended goals of the Latin alphabet. How about we settle on a variant of Hangul, and as a bonus we can probably simplify it by replacing all vowels with a generic placeholder because English clearly doesn’t respect them anyway what with consistently dropping them or replacing them with schwa; when they’re actually there it’s almost systematically accent-dependent which vowel actually gets used.

      So you could write missile “me sel” and then everybody would be free to drop as many or as little vowels as they want when reading it.

    I would if I could, but I can’t, so I won’t.

    My shotgun alligators and atomic lizards will make short work of your missile toad.

    I’m going to cunduct a deeper investigation, because I am not sure if that’s a G.I.Joe MCC missile.

    EDIT: it’s a VAMP v2 missile.
