Comic Book Math

Don't know how many of you will get this, but I just had to share.

We have an abacus toy for kids. It uses animal shapes in place of beads. Dad was trying to explain it to my youngest nephew.

"A bunny is worth ten turtles, so..."

"That can't be right," I thought to myself. "Usagi Yojimbo is worth, at most, four turtles."

Why would you need to shoot the fish if they're already in a freaking barrel?

Come to that, wouldn't that put holes in the barrel?

Actually, no. It wouldn't. Because bullets lose velocity amazingly fast when traveling through water. So the fish would probably be okay. And so would the barrel.

Also, water diffracts light, so you'd probably miss the fish, especially if you're as lazy as the expression implies.

This whole thing is like shooting fish in a barrel; it makes no sense at all.

ETA: Never mind. Mythbusters proved that the shockwave from the bullet will kill the fish even if you miss wildly. Huh.
