Podheads

The Airpod:



This hideous little thing runs on compressed air. It is being advertised as a "zero emissions" vehicle -- which, of course, is impossible. An erg is an erg. A marketing campaign does not change the laws of thermodynamics.

I am quite certain, however, that they'll sell a few of these little scam-mobiles to those imbeciles who slept through middle school science classes. On the bright side, since the thing looks to be about as crash-resistant as a wet cardboard box, owners are much more likely to be killed in a car accident. Thus, the Airpod receives the Official Uncle Chuck Seal of Approval! (And people say I'm a pessimist. Fagh!)

How the hell am I going to cut a victim out of that? Where do I start with the tool? The "safer" the manufacturers make these things, the harder it is for me to rescue victims. I shudder at the thought of what injuries puncturing the air tank would cause to a rescuer.
