The aorta is the highway from the heart, Mrs. Frizzle!

[–] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Maybe she's driving against the flow?

umm achkkhchually the aorta is cylinder shaped, while the bus is parallelepiped shaped, so the blood would pass around the bus. 🤓

Not if the gap was filled with plaque, gottem!

Ben’s parents feed him a steady, all-egg, all-bacon diet.

This assumes that the aorta cannot be deformed by the school bus. Cooked penne can be destroyed by a six sided die.

How can something with changeable size be stuck

[–] Binette@lemmy.ml 40 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It could've unstuck itself. She just wanted to show the kids what happens when something is stuck inside an artery.

She just wanted to teach ben a lesson

She's doing it on purpose! the aorta moves blood away from the heart. She took the class with her as an alibi for the murder.

I wonder if this is the greatest recorded 'total cost' fuckup of modern civilization?

I do find how they calculate 'lost' money silly though. Oh no delays! That means people didn't buy or make as much on paper!

It's like the way America calculates job gains or losses lol.

Old school special effects and Raquel Welch in a skin tight wet suit.

Edit = A lot of people think this movie was based on an Isaac Asimov novel. The truth is that Asimov did a novelization of a script written by Harry Kleiner, based on a story by Otto Klement and Jerome Bixby.

The novel let Asimov flex his muscles and come up with all kinds of ways the miniaturization process could have worked.

That's a trip down memory vein! I saw this at the drive-in, and rode the Inner Space ride at Disneyland.

"Four men and one beautiful girl" ugh :( But nice effects for that time!

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Loved that movie as a kid.
