Forunately - Unfortunately

[Ruddertail]

Unfortunatley, the zoo keepers put in an overhanging fence that prevented the gorrilla's shots from hiting, but still allowed the zoo's guests to throw stuff at the gorrillas.

[Zephyrus]

Fortunately, no such device could exist.

[Ruddertail]

What? I don't think you quite understood my idea. What I meant was a peice of plastic, curved in such a way that it overhung the gorrillas' inclosure, thus blocking the gorrillas' shots, however, from the hight of the path overlooking the inclosure, the guests shots still were able to land in the gorrilla's area.

[Zephyrus]

No, it couldn't. This thing would have to reach to a certain point over the enclosure. Either this limit is or isn't the far end from the enclosure. If it is, then nothing can come in, as anything past the enclosure would not fall in. If it isn't, there is some line of sight from the far side of the enclosure to some point above the people, and an item thrown along that line would go over the people. Sure, there'd be ways like having a system that allowed items to only go down, but those require some action of gravity and tend to slow things down. You could use something like they have on most one-way fasteners or the cup dispensers, but those would slow down an item so it would fall, not be thrown.

[Ruddertail]

Ok, fine. There were holes in the fence that the guests could throw through, but they wre small enought that it was almost impossible to aim through them from down in the gorrilla inclosure.

[Zephyrus]

Fortunately, the guests also had a hard time, as nearing the holes would mean that they had very little room to actually accelerate the things being thrown, and they fell far short of the gorillas.

[Ruddertail]

Unfortunatley, an evil zoo keeper installed large airgun-like devices which could be loaded by the guests and fired at the gorrillas. So the torment went on...

[Zephyrus]

Fortunately, the gorillas were finally so tired of being mistreated that they decided to outdo human achievement in the sciences and technology in a single day.

Unfortunately, this led to the eventual world domination of a different primate species.

[Ruddertail]

So, gorrillas with super advanced technology now rule the world? Ok...


Fortunatley, gerbils with even more advanced technology took the world from the gorrillas...

[Zephyrus]

Unfortunately, the gerbils with newfound freedom were never sympathetic to humans or primates in general, who by now have little or no role in the fate of the world.

Fortunately, the humans exist.

Unfortunately, that will soon change.

END

Yup, that was fast. Let's make a new line which doesn't die so easily.

BEGIN

Bob is a gerbil.

[Ruddertail]

Unfortunatley, gerbils dispise the name "bob", so he was miserable...

Well, that wouldn't have died so easily... but then you brought in the advanced technology... It could have gone on for pages if they'd simply escaped and went rampaging around the city with shotguns and dynamite...

[Fresh Water Fighters]

fortunatley he changed his name to JO.

[Ruddertail]

Unfortunatley, gerbils despise that name even more then "Bob".

[Zephyrus]

Fortunately, this gerbil had a different name at the time of his birth, one not despised b gerbils, and happily reverted to using it.

[Gen. Volkov]

Unfortunately a cow stepped on him.
