Global Warming, Trees, You and Pickles


Marvin's research has confirmed that pickles are our buddies.

17 pickles were placed on a plate and put in Marvin's backyard for 3 hours. The experiment originally was to use 18 pickles, but Marvin ate one.

The temperature at the beginning was 28 degrees Celsius and the carbon dioxide level was 33 on an index of 100.

Backyard readings were taken after those 3 hours and the temperature had dropped to 26.4 Celsius and the carbon dioxide level was reduced to 31.57. An unexpected benefit was that on average 67 less bugs entered the backyard. It should also be noted that heat and carbon dioxide levels were measured in four other backyards prior to and after. Measurements in those backyards remained constant.

However, after 14 hours, the pickles released the heat and carbon dioxide and the bugs came back.

The test was repeated but this time Marvin ate the pickles. Marvin has efficiently become a tree. Marvin retained the heat and carbon dioxide that the pickles absorbed with no ill effects.(Okay, so one ear fell off, big deal! - find a surgeon)

Conclusion. Pickles are just as effective as trees in reducing heat and carbon dioxide levels worldwide, or at least in your backyard. If backyards around the world are Picklefied, the world is gonna be just peechy-keen. Al Gore or Micheal Moore might make a movie of you with your pickles - in your backyard - with less heat - and carbon dioxide and less of those pesky bugs.

I wonder what would happen if pickles were placed on the end of car radio antennaes?


Be a tree, eat a pickle and save the planet.

Did you know before a pickle was a pickle it was a cucumber, Why are they called pickles ? They are actually marinated cucumbers.

Did you eat the previous 17 pickles also?

I enjoyed reading your blogs. Keep up the good work! :)

Shush! All the pickles I have met are ashamed they were once cucumbers. Just like a buttefly doesn't like the fact it was a bug first. Pickles don't want us to know they once lived in dirt with the worms and the bugs. That' why they had a meeting way long ago and decided to officially become Pickles.

Do you think if you used salt water from the ocean and made pickles you could hear the ocean after you ate all the pickles?

Hmmm, make pickles in ocean and hear ocean in pickles. Could make for a realy noisy fridge.
