Interesting. He's not shitting about the cost of doing by air separation, though, he may actually be underselling it. I used to work in air separation, and various companies have tried going after the rare gasses, like xenon and helium. You're dealing with so few molecules that keeping the in/out flow in the columns stable is nearly impossible.

We're not even close to depleting earth's supply. It's just that years ago, it stopped being economical to bother capturing it as it comes up with natural gas. Uranium decay creates the helium deep underground. So when it gets expensive enough, they'll rebuild the capture and separation equipment.

And munchkin cats are exactly the same. Mm is munchkin, MM is stillborn.

I've toured a couple smaller distilleries that do this. They make grain alcohol. They cut it with water to make vodka. They cut it with water and age it in barrels to make whiskey. They cut it with water and throw it in a tub with a Christmas tree and lawn trimmings to make gin.

A lot of people don't have bottles at home, they just have some drinks when they go out.

There is a version out there where he talks about that during the song. I heard it on the radio once, but have never been able to find it.

I'm pretty sure the dog slipped, or simply missed the platform when it tried to jump. It got absolutely no launch up like you would expect.
