As it happens, the more arcane outreaches of Whovian fandom maintain that this precise garment is in fact baked. I'll try to find a link. |
|
| |
What about that big uppy-downy bit in the middle? |
|
| |
Your bum will never look big in this. |
|
| |
There's a zip up the back which constantly fastens and unfastens as you travel through the Vortex.
[Bigsleep], good point. It's the ultimate elastane. |

In contrast to the gastric band, any time-lord wishing to put on a few pounds might opt for a gastric tardis, allowing them to eat considerably more pies than before. Alternately, a colonic tardis, removing the necessity to ever go for a poo (or at least, postponing it for some future epic movement) |
|
| |
the leotardis is one-piece and infinitely stretchable as it has
to withstand the bending of time and space. It has been
tested on black holes. |
|
| |
Happy first idea [or first one posted here anyways]! |
|
| |
This is an... interesting idea, but, uh, some of the older
Doctors might look a bit odd... |
|
| |
Anyways, like the title. Here's your first bun [+] |
|
| |
If it had the other qualities of the tardis as well as time-travel, i.e. bigger on the inside than the outside, then it could have pockets that you could cram loads of stuff in. [+] |
|
| |
just reminds me of the lion, the stitch and the wardrobe... |
|
| |
[Dub] you bastard!, I have got to go to sleep in a minute!, How can I do that now, you unthoughtful wretch?.
Good Work! |
|
| |
i would hang this in my closet between to my invisibility cloak and my freight handling jump suit. |
|
| |
Ewwwww [Dub] Ewwwwwwwwwww |

//wearable time travel device// |
|
| |
//made from breathable lycra// |
|
| |
//infinitely stretchable as it has to withstand the bending of time and space. It has been tested on black holes.// |
|
| |
Lycra is not infinitely stretchable, nor is a human body. This is bad science. [-] |
|
| |
Lycra is what many existing leotards are made of (see link), which makes it completely Baked and widely known to exist. |
|
| |
Where in the post does it describe the mechanism used for time travelling? Nowehere! So the time travel bit is magic. |
|
| |
[Marked-for-Deletion] widely known to exist, magic, and extremely bad science. |
|
| |
There is no idea here whatsoever, and if MFDing it makes me a troll because it sounds fun or cute, then it's a troll I be. This post is crap, and doesn't belong here. |
|
| |
apologies. I got carried away |
|
| |
//i would hang this in my closet between to my invisibility cloak and my freight handling jump suit.// Not forgetting the Secret Hat.
Aaaaw! Get a grip, [21Q], this is one of them funny ones.
There is room in here for all of us!. |
|
| |
[21], you seem particularly grumpy of late. Anything I can do to help? Email me if you wish. |
|
| |
Yeah email me too, while you're at it. But I don't offer help, just a little wine, personal abuse and the universe going pfoom! |
|
| |
Don't care for this idea. [21Quest] is right. |
|
| |
No need to apologise though, [Percy Bollard], to each his own. I'll just vote 'm as I see 'm. |
|
| |
The apology is mine to make, Percy. My last statement, the bit about the idea being crap, was out of line, and for that I sincerely apologize. You're new here, thus I don't expect you to know how things work here yet, and I shouldn't have come across so harshly. It wasn't intended. |
|
| |
I tend to follow more of a hardline approach to the rules than many of my fellow Halfbakers. I have certain standards for the ideas I vote on, and try to hold myself to the same standards when posting ideas. I expect ideas posted here to be workable, explainable, and to offer some sort of improvement over the existing technology that they are intended to replace or supplement. Basically, I'm not big on progress for the sake of progress, or inventing purely for the sake of change. |
|
| |
I fully applaud humorous postings that tickle my funny bone (believe it or not, I do have one of those) but I still expect even humorous ideas to follow those basic guidelines. My expectations almost always fall in line with the Marked for Deletion guidelines, which are outlined in the Help File. This post of yours happens to be a dead ringer for 3 of the MFD categories, which is why I voted against it and labelled it [Marked-for-Deletion]. |
|
| |
Now, there are subcategories in the Halfbakery category which are intended for humorous ideas and other idea types, such as poetry, songs, satire, and jokes. If you've posted an idea that is purely humorous in nature, then I expect it to be posted in one of those categories, otherwise I treat it the same as any other idea in the category you put it in. |
|
| |
That said, I look forward to seeing some of your future posts. Welcome to the Halfbakery! |
|

Regardless of its other merits or shortcomings, it does make you think about elasticity in a new way. An entirely inelastic container can only hold objects smaller than it. An elastic one can hold objects which start off bigger but makes them smaller, though slightly bigger than before. Finally, there are conceivable materials so elastic that they can contain volumes many times their own without getting any bigger at all.
Are there any equations in mechanics to which one could do sufficiently silly things to make this "work" mathematically? If so, could that give us a recreationally mathematical extension to the whoniverse?
In other words, fan mathematics as opposed to fan fiction. |
|
| |
Oh shit. This gets my vote if even just for [Dub's]
stretchy man. Oh my God. |
|
| |
It is a bit of a conundrum that lycra is stretchy yet Tardis time travel devices are always bigger on the inside (hence previous anno). Begs the question, what shape is it fitting too ? Maybe it just comes in ideal man/woman body shape. |
|
| |
[gnomethang] Ayethankyou! |
|
| |
[blissmiss] Sorry about that. |
|
| |
[bigsleep] He's Tron guy, GIS him (Safe search set to VERY ON!) |
|
| |
thanks 21. learning.
glad to discover this isn't all full of baked ideas, however
baked mine might be.
nice to join the half bakery. |
|
| |
//dead ringer for 3 of the MFD categories// |
|
| |
[21] - I have to disagree with you... It kinda does cover 3,
but only because those 3 are very similar [this is assuming
you be talking of WIBNI, bad science and magic, if not then
sorry]. |
|
| |
It's magic because it doesn't offer any explanation for the time
travel. No time travel device is even mentioned. It's bad science
because of the claim that lycra is infinitely stretchable or otherwise
more suited to time travel that other clothing materials. It's widely
known to exist because of the plethora of links available on a very
simple Google search. |
|
| |
I like it because all of the above! |
|
| |
perhaps the sheet of rubber that hawking mentions is lycra... |
|
| |
[ian] {Collects his jaw from the ground} |
|
| |
Interesting link. Two possibilities, i think. Either he has a well-developed sense of humour or perhaps irony, or he's almost as deep in denial as i am. |
|
| |
21 Quest, obviously it uses the same time travel method as does its inspiration, the Tardis. |
