Roll, roll, roll your boat in a silly scheme....

Great practical joke:
1) tell Mr. Liu Qiyuan that the world is ending.
2) wait for him and his friends to get into the pod.
3) drive up to it slowly with a reasonable-sized truck and start rolling it down the road.
4) post the resulting footage to Utube.

Shaken, not stirred.

... um, is that window sufficiently above the (possible) water line? It looks like one little bob the wrong way while someone has it open and the thing would swamp.
