BDD wants to read his Cody Lundin in time before the next large scale catastrophe.

No surprise that the Soviet-era grocery store was out of batteries. But I’m shocked that the skull-and-dusty-umbrella-shop didn’t have any. Ha! Shocked! Get it? Ha!

Donation Derby cross-over!

I don’t think you can do that with “D” batteries. I think they have to be 9 volts.

@Knute: Depends on how long your tongue is.

A piece of wire will substitute for a long tongue.

Yeah, outside of a comic 1.56 Volts DC isn’t enough to feel. But putting electrochemical things in your mouth: always a Bad Decision.

You can figure out lots of exciting forms of self-stimulation when the power’s out. I tried to make poltergeists come out of my computer’s monitor, but they were afraid of falling branches.

Since no one will make the bad pun, ill do it.

I find this comic “shocking”.

Sorry, that needed to be done

@knute, @yachris: yep, totally works if you have a long enough tongue, or if you put the whole thing in your mouth.

It’s not even a real battery, it’s just a drawing of one. Of course he wouldn’t be able to shock himself with it.

1.5 is an odd taste, 6 tingles, 9 has a bite, 12 stings, real dinosaurs prefer 24.

I wouldn’t recommend 48…

PS: Works fine with 1.5, lick you finger and touch it to the base while putting your tongue on the top.

Balancing one end of the battery on your tongue and the other on your upper lip works best
