Atmospheric Filters

Huge, lighter-than-air machines, filled with air filtering equipment.

They will take the unwanted carbon-, nitrogen- and sulphur- oxides out of the air catalytically, replenish upper atmospheric ozone, remove petrochemical smog and particulates and provide just enough shading to have a slight cooling effect on the Earth's ecosystems.

Powered by wind and solar energy.

       Catalytic lightweight oxide unsullying device.

       Nimbly I manoeuvre behind unusual syntax.

UnaBubba, Oct 07 2002
  

       Similarly, this response adheres to unusual syntax--almost like the others. Curiously, I rarely read unusual syntax.

bristolz, Oct 07 2002
  

       Are they grey and leaden and lined with silver?

FarmerJohn, Oct 07 2002
  

       Lightweight oxides? Or kookie syntax? Looks if kinda everything I thought sometimes goes on in nitrogen gas, this one's run as intelligent nanobots.   

       Is this a 'Murky filtering device'?

st3f, Oct 07 2002
  

       Baked - we've got loads in Wales and South West England.. ;op

yamahito, Oct 07 2002
  

       God, I love this eclectic dialogue. Gather everyone deliberately: for usurpers now approach nearer, daily. Give away moments, even seconds. All 'bakers observe unconventional, nonsensical dictation.   

       Seriously, it may concern later observers (users) digesting some... not obvious text, unintelligible now that it's late. Be reassured I stipulated absolutely no nanotechnological objects to assist the existing devices.   

       I still think it's largely legitimate. Stuffy environmentalists excepted, this hopeful idea stands. Agree surely, a gigantic object overhead definitely ignites dreams exceeding artful.

UnaBubba, Oct 07 2002
  

       ".. gigantic object overhead definitely ignites dreams exceeding artful," I think you mean.   

       Although generating general rubbish, extremely efficient description.

yamahito, Oct 07 2002
  

       See, this entire game, actually nonsense or garbage, really ain't profound, Hector . . . yes? [sort of]

bristolz, Oct 07 2002
  

       What?
Never mind, I guess //eclectic dialogue// just ain't my bag. I'll be moving along now.

half, Oct 07 2002
  

       Interestingly large bag carrying nutty users, [half].

bristolz, Oct 07 2002
  

       [hollajam], one looks least able jesting amongst mentors. Try reading yon from initials. Rather sly text. Little escapes the truly erudite reader, see? Obviates nonsense language, yes?

UnaBubba, Oct 07 2002
  

       Clearly, replenishing ozone is singularly serendipitous around new technology.

lurch, Oct 08 2002
  

       Bubba, you're enlightening. Bristolz, you're ebullient, a laudable lass.

half, Oct 08 2002
  

       Absolutely, but better review every verb in attempts to excel. Firstly, I remove suffixed text, leaving exactly the true epistle remaining secure. Make all knowing easier, than hereto expected. My efforts shall set a good example someday.

UnaBubba, Oct 08 2002
  

       Smells like old wibnis. But, OneBubble, run interestingly. Never give-in.

rabbit, Oct 08 2002
  

       If firstly, "firstly" is roundly said, then "lastly" - yes? - travels happily even now, severing essential connections, onto day.

rabbit, Oct 08 2002
  

       Crikey, [hollajam] & [rabbit], it's so transparent.

General Washington, Oct 08 2002
  

       Alas, would such trivial undoers find fun in this?

rabbit, Oct 08 2002
  

       Yes. GW it is. Sadly I'm not up to playing right (now) for other reasons -- a cause of my own fault and neglect for well being. Will recover soon though. Thanks for the prompt.

hollajam, Oct 08 2002
  

       "Sometimes one must expand the ideas -- make everything simple. One nanobot entry. Must use scientific terms. Expand xenogenetic padded annotations needing description. The heretic exists. Ideas don't exist as semiotics." -- Rosetta Stone

st3f, Oct 08 2002
  

       If dreaded oxides nanobotically treated, undesirable nox doesn't exclude rays. Stick to annotating normal descriptions.

egbert, Oct 08 2002
  

       If this here idea needs kudos, you oughta understand - dream on.

madradish, Oct 08 2002
  

       How obscure - when others' blindness seems curable, using rules extant   

       Rods overtly deviates, surreally.

UnaBubba, Oct 08 2002
  

       Rain and ice never really are initially negative, go on away we'll assist yonder.

FarmerJohn, Oct 08 2002
  

       Funny, it seems half-baked or non-existent.

Loris, Oct 08 2002
  

       Pity our usual readers. Quiet users offer insights.

UnaBubba, Oct 08 2002
  

       (Not on my account solely) - Participants, let's elucidate and so end such talk obscured profusely.

half, Oct 08 2002
  

       Please!
let each about see epistle.
  

       ...If maybe...
Sometimes, offerings redintegrating, renew yesterdays,
healing abstract loitering found.

hollajam, Oct 08 2002
  

       Ah Hollajam, this happy abstract thread simply oozes kookiness. Not one to treat overseriously (witness our ridiculous romps yesterday).

bristolz, Oct 08 2002
  

       Half baked provisions effervesce, annointing comments evermore...   

       <sigh>

hollajam, Oct 08 2002
  

       Dear old halfbakery!

rabbit, Oct 08 2002
  

       Not our worst craziness. Usually the thread has a totally obvious, understandable theme.

half, Oct 08 2002
  

       "silence hears half..."

hollajam, Oct 09 2002
  

       half: Yet even as heroes rush in, goodness happens too.
  

       hollajam: Many are known effectively, now or in some eternity.

rabbit, Oct 09 2002
  

       Tears run down cheek I'm muffling laughs to avoid coworker onlookings. Sad I missed conversation but overwhelmed it exists. Hydrogen fuel can be sunlight storage.

Worldgineer, Jan 27 2004
  

       Humorous odes were delivered. I don’t incite easily.   

       Very elegant, robust machine. It seems some take helium ideas slightly indeed. Does everyone agree?

Klaatu, Jan 27 2004
  

       Obscured by clouds ? Umma Gumma.....

normzone, Jan 27 2004
  

       Too haughty. It seems "Herr UnaBubba" researched this subject meticulously. Yonder balloons really are interesting now! Less expensive technology should make other visionaries embellish our "nebulous" project. Lastly, each annotation seems....excessive.

eyeguy, Jan 27 2004
  

       (He molts moaningly.)   

       Blowings labialized umlaut effervescently... Sinuous kinematics incite everyone's simian.

Tiger Lily, Jan 27 2004
  

       ...Some may invite long, insightful notes giving one numerous meaningful e-quaintances.

half, Jan 27 2004
  

       Silence! ....Still hearing half's omnivorous kindlings!

Tiger Lily, Jan 27 2004
  

       A nearly obscured light dwells, terrified, hiding, rarely ever above dimness, can only make empty shadows. bright as candles killed and glowing, amost imperceptable. Nevermore.

Freefall, Jan 27 2004
  

       Cumulous have a nasty cunning (every one) for rain and inclement nights.

Klaatu, Jan 27 2004
  

       That [half] is still laying low, considerately or not, finds us simpler entities stuck orbiting. Most enthusiasm not expended will, undoubtedly, see energetic resurgences soon.
