They’ll never know the simple joys of a monkey knife fight.
Look at those poor saps back on land with their “Laws and ethics.”
Correct!
All I remember is that Moe isn’t allowed to serve alcohol before a certain time, so Lenny is waiting for that time, which will apparently be when the sun has moved in such a way that the drinking time line is illuminated.
Luckily they get rubbing alcohol for their wounds.
My brain read rubbing alcohol as drinking alcohol and I think that means I should be worried
Furious George! What have they done to your pretty face?!
Smithers, this monkey will need a lot of your blood.
Correct me if I’m wrong but… wouldn’t the spot always be moving away from the line on the northern hemisphere?
As long as there are no mirrors involved I guess
Its not a sundial (which measure earth’s rotation), it’s a meridian line. I think they can be set up anywhere, but they’re measuring exact noon, and the
light would “travel” north to south.It travels west to east, the line on the ground is oriented north/south. Lenny is facing north.pauls-bologna.blog/2017/11/02/the-meridian-line-of-san-petronio/
It will travel north to south (and vice versa) throughout the year, but during the day
east to westwest to east surely.Shadow would move east to west, beam of light moves west to east.
Yeah the line on the floor is what’s North/South. The beam of light is moving west to east.
The beam of light moves the same way as a shadow would. Think of it as a “gap” in a shadow.
No it reverses it, the hole in the ceiling is creating a pinhole camera effect.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palermo_Cathedral “The device itself is quite simple: a tiny hole in one of the minor domes acts as pinhole camera, projecting an image of the sun onto the floor )” - It never specifically says west to east but that’s what’s it’s saying.
The pinhole effect reverses the image itself, but that is irrelevant. The beam of light will always travel west to east on the northern hemisphere.
This is the episode where they end up taking Mr Burns’ yacht out to international waters right? (Their solution to not being able to drink before 11 at Moe’s)
Actually it was for the marriage between man and cow.
