Using a high quality air filter, blow up balloons until almost all of the (now filtered) atmosphere is in the balloons.
Then run around with a sharp object, popping them.
This will require building an ark.

Very funny, and yet somehow strangely not. [8th of 7, Oct 11 2002, last modified Oct 21 2004]

The only type worth having. |

And what do we breathe in the meantime? |

Pretty much Baked, by Ben Elton, in his hilarious black comedy "Gasping". Scheming businessman sells machines that suck up the entire atmosphere, starts selling "Designer Air". It doesn't end well. |

I guess one would have to pop them with pin-point accuracy. |
|
| |
What to do with the dirty filters though? |
|
| |
Then, come the cleanup, turn the balloons into synthetic glass sculptures of surpassing beauty... a tribute to the cleaning of Earth. |
|
| |
What is filtered out? Where does the residue after filtration go...into a 'dirty' balloon? If the sky is full of balloons, where can I fly a kite? |

Dark helmet, engage mega maid. |

I'd suggest tying the balloon string securely around the kid's wrist. Otherwise, he's gonna lose it. |

So...
as we suck up most of our atmosphere in order to blow it into the balloons we leave little or no atmosphere left floating about to filter the sun's UV rays...?
So...
We end up with, what, 100X more UV rays and such frying the balloon envelopes to a perfect pork rind texture...?
So...
That would mean some balloon envelopes would never see the light of day. A sad waste. Perhaps the few that do become unstable due to heat buildup inside from excessive solar radiation creating convection currents AND severe static buildup...?
Oh... so...
I see it now. Every cat on the planet will be sucked to one of these balloons and then BOOM !
Cat hair everywhere... |

| |
Yep. Catastrophic consequences. |

8th has gone very, very quiet on this topic all of a sudden... |

its way out of his expertise. |

You are a bunch of dicks. RIP SPARKY you will live in my heart 4ever |
|
| |
From a rubber factory, silly. |
|
| |
Actually, producing the rubber might make more pollution than you can clean up. And rubber's not exactly biodegradeable, either, so what to do with it afterwards? And what's this got to do with Sparky? |
|
| |
I may be wrong but sparky's death may be linked to scotty's failed attempt to bake this idea. |
|

You guys and gals arent dicks, i kinda like ya. |
