I own a 1981 VW Rabbit diesel which I have been using as a mobile meth lab for the past 8 years. I have decided to go legit and want to convert it from a meth lab to a CNC mill to position myself for the new economy. Could you please provide me any advice possible as to how I can bring my dream into reality? I think I could make some really cool stuff and I could power the mill from the VW’s motor while driving thus increasing the overall efficiency of the vehicle! Thanks!

I’m getting nervous. I like to boast about my extensive blu ray collection, but its been a long and expensive process. I am in my late 20s and I started my movie collection on VHS. Before I had too much invested I made the jump to DVD, and restarted my library. My collection was exuberant, but as life goes the next technology came along. Of course I picked HD DVDs instead of blu ray at first, but for obvious reasons I had to make the switch. I’m looking at my collection and I’m starting to worry. Am I going to have to start my collection over again, any time in the near future? This hobby of mine is getting exponentially more expensive.

Ok, Rich a statement you made in a past episode made you sound worse than Stibs. You said that the new slogan never caught on, but maybe you should be reminded that it is stated before every episode. You have even been known to say it from time to time within a show. I will just assume you were joking, that way I dont put you in the same boat as I do Sir Stibs.

I am in the market for a new tablet. Of course the iPad 2 seems like an obvious choice. However, my six year old son has decided that I should buy a Xoom. He thinks it is funny that they decided to misspell zoom, or is it supposed to be pronounced “shoom?” Either way he thinks that it sounds faster than a “pad” which is a very stationary sounding device? Which would you choose?

Questions/Comments:

Hey guys, just want to say that you were wrong. I know for a fact that the fishing in the oceans has been done for thousands of years, and predates the era of common explorers. Jessica was the most correct out of the three of you. First thing you have to remember is that fish don’t all live at the bottom of the ocean. There in fact the nearer to the surface the easier it is to catch the fish (typically). The explorers did bring a lot of their own food, but that is because of the amount of time they were on the ships, and the inability to keep food fresh without packing it in salt. A man cannot live on fish alone.

What is the best writing utensil? I thought this would be interesting considering you all have different mediums in which you write and/or draw.

It seems to me that tornadoes tend to stay away from dense urban areas. Could this be a positive result from the urban heat island effect? Could it be a result of the man made urban topography altering wind patterns and making cites more tornado resistant? Could it be a simple numbers game? (The fact that there is a lot more open rural and suburban space than dense city so it just appears that tornadoes strike cities less?) Or could it be something else? As tornado season approaches I want to be prepared. Please help!

Hello. We all have fun during the winter because of all the exiting activities, but spring does not have the same appeal. This is about to change. This spring make it a point to convert your favorite winter activity into a new and improved spring activity. The easiest way to do this is replace the snow in the equation with something else. Go out and build a mud fort, or go skiing on a fresh blanket of suds on Visqueen, or go Jell-O skating. The opportunities are endless.

Hello. Inspired by a question this week, we the hosts of Arbitrary Talk are offering a challenge to the amazing fans. We want you to go through an entire day and make a list of every object you come in physical contact with. Then tally all the items on the list and remove every other item. Then remove all items that start with a vowel, and then go down the list and remove every 7th item. When you to the bottom just move back to the top of the page, and continue until there is only one object left. Then acquire that object and take a picture of you using the object in 33 different ways.
