  1. Mr. Frykas says:

    CFC’s will leave you sterile as well…

  2. Meowth says:

    Turn it off!

  3. PoodleGroomer says:

    The knob on the left adjusts the size of the hole in the ozone.

    • JohnB says:

      Haven’t you heard? The hole in the ozone is gone, in what is one of the few positive ecological developments in at least a century.

      • Somepartsareme says:

        I really can’t tell if that’s a joke. :S

        • la conejita says:

          It’s because of his serious looking face avatar. We try to tell him to change it. He’ll try a few other faces, but keeps coming back to this one. I recommended the plastic surgeon that worked on my face, Dr. Gravatar and he doesn’t want to go.

          All of us here at Engrish will try to chip in a few bucks, $0 bills to pay for the operation.

          • JohnB says:

            That time I actually was not joking. The limitations on aerosol CFCs and changes in the use of refrigerants has allowed the ozone layer to rebound significantly. So my looking less serious here would not have been an advantage.

            • la conejita says:

              John, just remember to warn us when you are being serious.

            • theskepchick says:

              CFCs & HCFCs may be banned in some countries, but the ban is not worldwide. Also, since chloroflorocarbons are extremely stable, they hang around for a century on average. A single pound of CFCs can annihilate seventy thousand pounds of atmospheric ozone. CFCs are also ten thousand times more effective than CO2 as a greenhouse gas. So, in short, they’re still a problem, and a big one at that.

              Also, to clarify–the only positive thing I’ve heard about ozone depletion was that it was SLOWING DOWN, not that it was making a full recovery. Maybe that’s what you meant (although it’s not what you said), but maybe there’s a new study I haven’t heard of. If there is, can you post a link? Thanks.

              • JohnB says:

                My understanding is that a “hole,” in the sense of there being an absence of the ozone layer near the Antarctic, is no longer there. I did not mean to imply that all ozone depletion had stopped.

                • Droll not Troll says:

                  I’m pretty sure there was never a true “hole”, implying complete absence, in the ozone layer. The “hole” is an invention by the media- you know how they love to talk in absolutes!
                  There was, and still is, a thinning of the ozone layer near the Antarctic, to a varying extent. A true hole in the ozone layer would let in all kinds of nasty radiation from the sun, killing many life forms unlucky enough to be under the hole.

      • PoodleGroomer says:

        The rocker switch is the heat/cool switch for global temperatures.

      • dr handle says:

        We’ve still got rather an impressive one over The Antipodes – if you ever come to visit Down Here, DO NOT forget your sunscreen and hat, especially from November to March.

  4. la conejita says:

    The Master will now provide us with light.

  5. JohnB says:

    I’ve always preferred switches that do exactly what I tell them to do, when I tell them to do it: that is, slave switches. Just because this one has a couple of extra letters in its name doesn’t give it the right to be getting all uppity on me, but that often seems to happen with degrees and titles and such.

  6. dr handle says:

    Master Switc Football Club, ra ra ra!
    *shakes pom pom*

  7. Somepartsareme says:

    Halo 4: Master Swicfc

  8. daedreams says:

    It all started out so well. Then someone got lazy.

    “Okay, let’s see… Master. We got that. Now, the next word is S. w. i. and then, you know, some letters after that. Whatevcfc”

  9. Queen o'sarcasm says:

    does he know my Almighty GardenFilter!?
