BILL
This is a rather silly question.
LH
Indeed it is. I don’t think it’s worth our attention.
BILL
I agree. After all, there are so many variables involved here.
LH
That’s not why—
BILL
I mean, I admit I don’t know the mass of a trillion pyroar off the top of my head, but I’d imagine it’s not nearly enough to take out the sun by default.
LH
Honestly, Bill, there are far more important things to worry about than—
BILL
On the other hand, pyroar are fire-types and therefore have a resistance to the element, and perhaps a trillion pyroar can form a miniature star-like object that collapses into an equally miniature black hole. That might compensate for the insufficient mass of a group of pyroar otherwise.
LH
Bill, that doesn’t—
BILL
Come to think of it, hold on. Let’s think about this for a second. How much does each pyroar weigh? Should we just assume they’re all perfectly average weight? Also, would the nuclear fusion take place on the planet or off? We’ll need to add in the mass of each pyroar’s breathing apparatus if that’s the case. Now that I think about it, we should probably assume the fusion takes place off-planet, perhaps in the corona at the very closest. We can’t have the pyroar die before the battle begins; otherwise, the whole point is moot. What configuration are the pyroar in as they fly towards the sun? Is it a cube of pyroar, a sphere, or an amorphous cloud?
LH
Why are you like this?
Wait, Brigette posted this? Just how many people did you give my login credentials to, Lanette? —Bill
All of us. —Bebe
hey bill whats up? —Molayne
