This one got animated!
A live body and a dead body contain the same number of particles. Structurally, there’s no discernible difference.

False. Blood is no longer pumping. Neurons are no longer firing. The diaphragm is no longer pulling air into the lungs.
@ Greg house: He said structurally. Whether blood is pumping or not, there is no STRUCTURAL, discernible difference.
But what if you get sliced in half? Or have your head blown off? Dr Manhattan should really think before he speaks.
A dead body without limbs contains significantly fewer particles than a living body.
Implying bodies cannot maintain a living state with an absence of limbs.
Eh, no one caught the Watchmen reference?
If it makes you feel any better, I did. I’m just a month and a half late.
Ah glad to see a man of like mind and priorities. If you can’t oneup everyone around you what is the point of living.
I don’t think the radio dial is an accelerator?
When you rotate it, it has an angular acceleration, alpha.
Depends heavily on the music.
It accelerates your hatred of modern music
Correcting the driving instructor was totally worth it though
The adventures of Overly Technical Man continue!
Or they don’t. He is, after all, dying.
Newsflash! That car has no turn signals.
Well, not anymore.
Light has momentum. If you shoot light from the turn signals it will change the velocity of the car.
The train wheels look a bit like testicles. Just saying.
Ease upon? I don’t think that’s right…
upon or up on?

How does one “ease upon: an accelerator?
Now I want to become a cop/coroner just so I could put down Inelastic Collision for cause of death.
I totally saw the driver as Louis C.K. and read it in his voice.
People from Phoenix are Phoenicians.
Wow, Just got back from my graduation ceremony with my degree in computer engineering, and I immediately happen upon a character who’s a bigger nerd than everyone there.
So try harder.
To be fair, an elastic collision probably would have killed them too. It just would have been more fun.
It would all depend on the index of restitution, yes?
The alt text didn’t pop up when I first tried, and I thought maybe it was intentional… the last frame took on a very somber tone without any alt text.
Sentences that begin with “actually” or “technically” should always result in death.
ACTUALLY, the cause of death was lack of blood flow to the brain.
