7. Oh, he could have built a raft...
But come on, he was an introverted professor, stranded with Ginger and Mary Anne. He had hopes.

5. Hey, thanks! Gatorade & onion now added to my "Earthquake Kit"!
But I guess I'll have to keep replacing the onion.

Nice instruction. Very clear. BUT, they didn't explain how to CLEAN the charger cord connector. Wouldn't onion/gatorade corrode it or something? I cringed when I saw that connector go into the onion. You're not supposed to do that, right? Stick your connectors into vegetables?

8. That's good. Just be sure to have some form of battery power, too.
The onion thing was a prank by a guy who posts a lot of stuff like that, either just trying to F with people or trying to make some social commentary on the gullibility of Internet citizens I guess.

The onion would come in handy for a nice soup, though. The Gatoraide would be worth more than gold. So by all means, stock up. :)
