   No seriously what is this αδελφός ΓυζζγςατΡοτατο (talk/stalk) 01:52, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

2. Utter crap. Spud (talk) 13:47, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
3. Subway diet already exists, and the fun page is just not funny. Sorry. Carpetsmoker (talk) 15:56, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Keep

1. !!! 141.134.75.236 (talk) 23:33, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

   Changing my vote to: "Replace the current page with Ikanreed and Carpetsmoker's comments." 141.134.75.236 (talk) 16:52, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

2. A reference to this piece of real-world idiocy which achieved some fame at the time - David Gerard (talk) 11:23, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

   Then can some actual context be added into the article? FrizzyCatPotato (talk/stalk) 11:42, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

   We already have an article on it though, this is for the crappy funspace version--Miekal 16:00, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

3. Conditional vote: Must be changed to be about eating subway trains. Narky Sawtooth (Nyar~) 17:04, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

   See? Plenty of good material, including my own original Datsun/Datson joke! Narky Sawtooth (Nyar~) 17:31, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

   I have done this thing, and it needs so much work. I'm painfully unfunny. ikanreed ^{You probably didn't deserve that} 19:39, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

   So, replace with mine? Narky Sawtooth (Nyar~) 03:30, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

4. Conditional vote: Siding with Narky here. There's good opportunity for better humor. ℕoir LeSable (talk) 17:46, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
5. If we deleted funspace articles for not being funny there'd be about six left. Bicycle^wheel 18:08, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

   We'd have six cows? PacWalker 19:31, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Goat

1. This goat is also a vote, because this page simply needs more goat. I am voting for goat. PacWalker 23:34, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

   Aww, you should've used 3 goat icons. Evil combo breaker! 141.134.75.236 (talk) 23:36, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

   Well goats can be evil sometimes after all. PacWalker 23:37, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

   Evil goats?!? :O 141.134.75.236 (talk) 23:40, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

• You kids are adorable. MaillardFillmore (talk) 01:50, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

1. I think this would be a good fun page if it were about dieting by only eating actual subway trains. ikanreed ^{You probably didn't deserve that} 16:09, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

   You can eat anything while in the subway and not gain weight due to the quantum gravitational tunnelling effect which detoxes the heavy metals from the food and adds positive ion energy (with particular high amounts of quantum flux state charges). Note that it is *required* for the subway to be moving *at least* 50kph, otherwise it won't work. Carpetsmoker (talk) 16:47, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

   I'm sorry but semi-metric units like that are dumb. PacWalker 16:52, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

   You want to replace hours with kiloseconds? 141.134.75.236 (talk) 16:55, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

   For timekeeping? Not necessarily, but for derived units like that hours kind of ruin the point of going metric IMO. PacWalker 16:57, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

   Pretty much everybody except people from the US and UK are accustomed to using kilometers instead of miles for long distances, so a "point of going metric" doesn't really facture into it for most folks. And measuring how many kilometers you travel in a second isn't particularly useful unless you'll be approximating the speed of light, so people use hours instead. 141.134.75.236 (talk) 17:05, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

   Metars par second is best metars. :P PacWalker 17:07, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

   Aren't kph and km/h the same? The 'official' SI way is of course km/h, but SI isn't the same as the "metric system". I don't see how this is a 'semi-metric unit'? Carpetsmoker (talk) 17:12, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

   His complaint is about hours not being an official SI unit. 141.134.75.236 (talk) 17:19, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

   It is canon that Narkys eat subway trains. Please, Narkify this article. Narky Sawtooth (Nyar~) 16:59, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
