OK, the balloon floats, must be hydrogen or helium. I guess this is a joke, somehow …

Unforgettable false lessons.

As long as no one starts a fire.

Problems with acid in digestion?

If they breath out hydrogen, then what do they fart? Napalm? (In truth, I fart napalm after a good bean burrito) ;-)

now man is only full of hot air (which can make certain things float)

Today’s comments have more giggles, guffaws, and comic responses than the cartoon!

Everything I know I learned from the comics.

We don’t say fart. We say colon cough.

If they only expelled hydrogen, they had better not tell their stories around a fire.

That would cause humans to give Henry (BC) quite a bit of competition. All that would be needed would be a flint striker.

I’ll bet they talked really funny.

Not “only expelled hydrogen,” but “expelled only hydrogen.” Early humans also inhaled hydrogen.The placement of “only” in a sentence can have a dramatic effect on the meaning of the sentence. Witness:Only I poked him in his eye with my stick.I only poked him in his eye with my stick.I poked only him in his eye with my stick.I poked him only in his eye with my stick.I poked him in his only eye with my stick.I poked him in his eye only with my stick.I poked him in his eye with my only stick.I poked him in his eye with my stick only.

Its methane.

All that raw fiber in their real paleo diet made them fart from both ends.

Setting aside all the snark and the condescending replies from those who apparently “get it”… could someone please explain this one?
