So I was reading up about the Flying Nimbus trying to find out exactly how fast that thing can go. Even after King Kai's training Goku seemed to prefer it to flying to reach his (mostly dead) friends. It doesn't seem to blast supersonic-sayian-speed and pokes across the sky like a freaking snail....why would Goku continue using that thing :S

I also read that apparently Master Roshi and Krillin both had tried to ride it but were rejected due to owning dirty magazines (or lusting for women). Well, that sure as hell rules me out as a potential rider (and probably most guys out there). It's reeeeally hard to be "pure of heart" and still be attracted to women in a "non-lust" sort of way (like Goku being in love Chichi).
Also I've always got the impression that Goku's simply too...well...oblivious to get into dirty magazines or lust after women. Look what happened with Princess Snake (even though it was a filler), you could throw this guy into a sea of sexy women and the most he would say is "...bwuh?".
Or maybe I've been watching so much TFS stuff that my image of Goku is permanently distorted :S ARGH DAMN YOU TFS.

I'd say he rides the nimbus cloud because it is a pretty cruisy way to travel. Goku never seems to be in much of a rush, even when his friends are in danger ahha. So I'd say say its purely because he likes it.
As for the lusting after women, it might just be a Saiyan thing that they don't have any lusty tendencies. Vegeta is the same. Maybe they just procreate to ensure the survival of the race. After all, a Saiyan's driving force in life is to fight and get stronger so I guess it overrides everything else. When Goku and Chi Chi had their first 'date', Chi Chi explained that a date was the boy thinking of the most pleasurable thing to do, then convincing the girl to do it as well. So Goku throws a punch at her head.
It must be pretty fast. It manages to snag Gohan from Nappas stomp and Nappa didn't even know what happened until he saw floating Gohan on it.
To the lust thing. I mean I'm pretty sure it's all fine and good to go after a girl you want and still be 'pure of heart'. It's when that is not enough for you that that becomes a problem. Yamcha and Roshi are total playboys who will never settle for anyone.
Yamcha has got to be the dumbest person ever for not settling down with Bulma when he had the chance. Father's a billionaire tech scientist, Bulma herself was smoking and she knew of the only working way to find the dragonballs...
The generalist looks outward; he looks for living principles, knowing full well that such principles change, that they develop. It is to the characteristics of change itself that the mentat-generalist must look. There can be no permanent catalogue of such change, no handbook or manual. You must look at it with as few preconceptions as possible, asking yourself, "Now what is this thing doing?" -Children of Dune
And before he even met her, he was a broke ass desert bandit who couldn't even talk to girls.
Although, it is a good thing he did screw it up. If Future Trunks had been half-Yamcha instead of half-Saiyan, he would have gotten his ass killed before he could go to the past, thus dooming the main story timeline.
No, I read this comic book when I was a kid... it was my dads when he was a teenager i think... It was like the first death of superman issue... and like i think it was a couple issues later superman was relieved to have never had died. But theres so many different story lines and stuff when it comes to comics now.

As a huge Dragon Ball fan, I'm going to have to correct you.
Actually Yamcha had a strong desire to get married and he suggested to Bulma they settle down at a few points. Notice that Yamcha's never seen around women at any point before of after his breakup with Bulma. Bulma was the only woman Yamcha loved which was why he never married.

Random DBZ Fact! Because I just won't let it die. The distance from the Earth to Namek is 4339.2516 light years. The spaceship built by Bulma's dad got Goku to Namek in 5 days. That means his spaceship was traveling 316765.3668 times the speed of light.
Well the laws of physics were already screwed back in early Dragonball when people started firing Ki blasts and using it to fly, the energy output is thousands/millions of times more than what a human body (or Saiyan body, or ANY body of that size) is capable of generating. Unless they're performing nuclear fusion/fission in their stomachs.
And if earth ships can really travel at the speed of light, Goku would've been totally screwed on his way to Namek because he would've had zero time to get any training done. With time slowing to a complete stop for the ship and everything inside it (including Goku), the trip would've felt instantaneous (for Goku). Theory of Relativity tsk tsk.
Also don't even get me started on the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. No matter how you play with physics, it's impossible to speed up time inside a certain area while allowing it to pass normally outside. You can only slow down time by accelerating that area to large fractions of the speed of light (pointless lol).
Probably the only thing that makes any kind of sense is gravity training. While it would take human muscles YEARS to get accustomed to even 1.5-2x the gravity (not to mention the fact that your heart would throw fucking seizures trying to pump blood upwards), I could probably accept that Saiyans can do it in a matter of days/weeks. To keep blood circulating at 100x gravity, their heart would have to be made out of god knows what. Definitely not normal muscle/tissue.

I agree. Though the Room of Space and Time always seemed more like a magical thing to me. It's not a place, it's an entirely different dimension. And our laws of physics do not cover different dimensions, as we don't even have proof that they exist. So that's actually the most plausible thing to me among the stuff you listed lol. Traditional physics were fucked from the first episode of DB, when Goku was shot in the face and it did nothing to him. I think anyone with common sense should realize that.
We all know the physics was fucked but its fun to work out the kind of energy they are producing and so on. Do I believe that anyone can produce the kind of energy they are shown to no but its fun to calculate it anyway. Especially when you realise their energy output is roughly equal to a star of their size.
This thread is lacking DBZ pics when Genn is banned!!!
