HAHAHAHA! My Son Just Showed Me One Of His Math Problems

One disposable diaper will stay in a landfill, without decomposing, for 2000 years. If you put 4 disposable diapers into a landfill tomorrow, how long will it be before they are all decomposed?

    It was almost a year before found out that number on the side of the package is supposed to be the weight of the child, not the capacity of the diaper.

    You ought to have him answer that it doesn’t matter, because the amount of damage done to the environment by washing cloth diapers more than outweighs the minimal harm caused by the safe decomposition of a disposable diaper.

    You should have him answer that hippies smell and Al Gore is a big fat moron.

    Actually NiceDeb, if you do have another kid these are really cool.

    I used these on my last kid when he was an infant. Now he just has pampers, but these are super comfy for little babies.

    One Monica Lewinsky in the oval office will keep Bill Clinton occupied for 20 minutes before Hillary has a cackle fit. If you put 4 Monica Lewinskys in the oval office, how long before all the cigars are gone?

    FUNNY

    ALL MY GRANDBABIES HAD THOSE–THEY’RE WONDERFUL.

    Slow decomposition is kind of what we want going on in landfills, instead of the problematic kind that happens quickly and produces lots of methane.

    Someone has to develop a diaper that won’t decompose for 10,000 years and make a semi-permanent landfill mountain. Let’s pick a site and start building Mount Huggies.

    I think this math question is actually flawed because diapers aren’t made with plastic like they used to be. They’re much more environmentally friendly now. Except for those weird gel things that are used for absorbtion. That stuff might not ever decompose.

    They need to change the question to something like, if a diaper has been in a landfill since 1988……….

  24. Comment by Rosetta on January 9, 2008 8:14 pm

    What are you saying? Are you pro-absorbtion?

  25. Comment by pajama momma on January 10, 2008 3:28 pm

    btw, they comment was really funny and if I actually had any points I would give them to you for that comment.

    That’s ok. It’s the thought that counts.
