I have decided to fire my washing machine at the next passing comet (I'm getting the rockets off ebay). I need to know how to analyze the resultant dust cloud to find out what the comet contains. Thanks.

No probs you can pick up a spectrometer on eBay too

It's a manual so you'll need a camera and some gaffer tape.

lol. 'without a name'. aw...call it 'Barney the spectrometer'.

So you just point a spectrometer at the cloud? Or can you use the camera image?

I think you would find that the comet was made out of some pale blue fluff, a few small coins and lots of odd socks.
jake. have you seen the seller "plurabelle"s other items. It's a hoot.

Marge love, I think that when they say 'the retailer is liable for faulty goods', they mean you should return them to Comet on the High Street, dear.
;o)

phl, you're not kidding. Would make a nice game of cluedo...Mr Plum, in the bathroom, with the extra long saw.
is it an appliance of science?

Iwas going to mail my washing machine, or put it on the bus.

Then I thought, 'Sod it' so it went on its rinse cycle instead.

I got my washer from a convent. That's why its a sistermatic. Marge, have you been sniffing the household cleansers? Surfing 'till the Tide comes in?

No no no. What I should have asked was: "Scientists have fired a washing machine sized object at a comet, to see what it's made of: how do you analyze the resultant cloud to do this?"
