The Chinese are in denial about bodily functions and every toilet I ever saw there as an afterthought, not something designed in. After rolling around on the waves in that thing for a day, it will be pretty rank inside. |

This may not be a thing for everyone, but for anyone who has been in or lives by a fault with the potential for a Tsunami this could bring a little piece of mind, also I think the maker probably feels there will be someone that could if needed come along and roll it over or rescue it from the waters....ect..) so it would not be for just anybody....my luck I would take refuge in it only to have a sinkhole to open up and swallow me whole. Oh and the look of it reminds me of those bugs balls of poop they roll around! |

In the worst case one could have it in the backyard, for a hard ride. Also, there should be an inner sphere rotating independently. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26985611 This is why we need the Swiss.... inner sphere is a must. Between your watches, hot chocolate and chinaball ideas, you guys should take over the world.. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 20898323 United States 12/14/2012 11:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | LOL!!!!! Like a fucking ballast is going to help the situation in the event of a tsunami... have you seen what just a large wave can do to an oil tanker?? And those things are 100x the weight with all sorts of stabilizing devices.. Sure, EVENTUALLY it might be upright, but being strapped in a pod that gets get with a 100mph+ wave, then smashed into everything else in the way...that pod wouldn't stand a chance. Have you seen what a tanker looks like after getting washed up from a typhoon? Imagine that 100 fold...only you're in a pod, not a tanker. |

And they really don't care about that beat-up truck, do they?!! Quoting: Physicist EDIT - also a bit of a PITA if it stops rolling with the hatch facing down or blocked. I think I'd want two hatches or a tin-opener. it is weighted, As long as you are floating you are ok Government is a body largely ungoverned. |
