Welcome to Gaia! ::

Water balloons won't dent anything.

Well. He didn't, if you want to get all kinds of technical.

He heard it could.
Mountains can't be dented.
Water balloons don't dent anything as the burst on impact.
Moreso when they're thrown that hard, to the point of tearing in the air before they even get anywhere.
JFK was killed by a magic bullet.

Plus Gambino is heaving five tons of ice at heavily populated towns.

He -constructed- it so that it could.
Mountains CAN be dented, just not in the literal sense. With huge explosions.
What if the burst is what dents it, hm? A huge water explosion with enough speed and strength could do it.
I don't think those waterballoons are made of rubber... they could probably be made of steel and they'd still break on impact, if it can throw it that hard.
JFK =/= KFC

And what if Aekea threw those same waterballoons at heavily populated areas as well? If the explosion of the water can dent a mountain, imagine what it could do to a town!

-constructed- O.o

Read as: "He built it, therefore it is able to."


Read as: "It was made in such a way so that it would be possible to."


You want to emphasize the fact that this specific version of 'giant robot' was made specifically for the purpose of being able to hurl water balloons that may or may not be specifically designed to put holes into mountains.

Right now you're emphasizing the fact that it was built. Nothing special about the way that it was built, just that it was, in fact, built. Rather than like... bought from Ikea and constructed with an alan wrench during an afternoon of light rock radio and a pitcher of lemonade.

Here, let me emphasize something as well.

I'm naked.

Yeah, guess which one is the winning word.

I built a tire swing in my backyard. It should get me at least to the moon.

...just from the fact that I made it doesn't necessarily endow this swing with special moon-leaping powers. However, if the swing was made in such a way that, despite all probability and logic, it was somehow able to accomplish that feat... well, damn. That'd be one hell of a swing. The fact that I was the one that threw it together sort of pales in comparison to the fact that this piece of rope and old rubber has made the NASA method obsolete.

@themightyjello: I meant that he didn't hear that it could, unlike what Chaplain stated, so I replaced the word 'hear' with 'constructed'. But yeah, that's what I meant to say: it was made in such a way so that it would be possible to.

@Chaplain Fenix: A burst is technically a kind of explosion. And I know that the steel waterballoon doesn't make sense, it was just an example to refer to how strong a throw it probably is; all I'm saying is that it probably isn't made of rubber if it can dent a mountainside. O.o;
