Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for December 29, 2023

Yet another version of that half-glassed question.

It’s always full. The question is: of what? Water? Air? Vacuum? Emptiness? And in which ratio?

But the air is almost 50% NITROGEN.

The question has been ratioed.

When half a glass of water is enough to quench your thirst, then it’s half full, If not, then it’s half empty.

It is a fluid situation, come what may.

See? It never empty unless in outer space.

Because the glass is tapered the volume of water is less than the volume of air.

So – drink the liquid and breathe the air! Win-Win!!

… it’s neither half-empty, nor half-full! …it’s the wrong glass!

Not measured properly. That’s not a straight glass.

What if it’s carbonated water?

so today, Horace is 53% all wet and 47% hot air…?

And then, of course, there’s the sort of people who point out they’d ordered a coke, not a glass of water…

Ask the chicken crossing the road.

since the glass has slanted sides its impressive he can figure out the ratio using only a ruler

At sea level.

Glassic.

I worked with engineers for many years. An engineer would always point out that you have twice as much glass as required for purpose. :)

Not so funny but true.

Even if the question is only referring to the amount of water, if it’s not exactly 50%, then the answer is no.

A cat would have the answer to this. CRASH!!!!!!!! :)

This comic is 53 percent “funny ha ha” and 47 percent “funny weird.” A great combo!

This calls for drastic measures.

Horace is one smart horse. :)

I didn’t know Horace was an engineer.

Is that allowing for the taper??
