...that my name is in orange now.

    * ...that this sentence no verb?

    * ...that nothing gets you through a day of nonstop executions than a nice slice of pumpkin pie?

    * ...that, according to Steven Tyler, a reason for losing your mind sure can be the fact of going crazy?

    * ...that in a strongly worded letter, I told that prick to right fuck off with a letter opener?

Did you know : 1 small child can scream at up to 91dB-c if you have a group of small children ( around 6 ) that number go's to 115dB-c!!!!!

The latter number is only seen when.

A: I am at a shopping centre or store
B: I am MCing a wedding

Studies show the B option can last up to 5 hours causing large tendencies to go on murderous rampages of parents that are to stupid to leave kids at home

BEETROOT

The Romans knew about love!
The Romans considered beetroot an aphrodisiac (it’s rich in the mineral boron which is important in the production of human sex hormones). The belief persists to this day that if a man and a woman eat from the same beetroot, they will fall in love (with each other, presumably.)

Beetroot benefits
Beetroot contains betaine, a substance that relaxes the mind and is used to treat depression. It also contains trytophan (also found in chocolate!) which contributes to a sense of well being.

Keep calm
Don’t be alarmed, if after eating beetroot, there are pink side effects! It’s the red pigment in beetroot which passes harmlessly through the digestive system.

Colour by numbers
Betanins, a substance obtained from beetroot, are used industrially as red food colourants – e.g. to improve the colour of tomato paste, sauces, jams and ice cream.

Beetroot is good for the health of the heart as it contains soluble fibre with can help to reduce high blood cholesterol levels. It also contains the phytochemicals carotenoids and flavonoids which help prevent LDL ‘ bad’ cholesterol from being oxidised and deposited in the arteries.

Cooked beetroot is a great source of folate that can protect you against high blood pressure, Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Beetroot is virtually fat free and low in calories. It has an extremely low GL which means it’s converted into sugars very slowly which helps to keep blood sugar levels stable.

Beetroot has for many years been used as a treatment for cancer in Europe. Specific anti-carcinogens are bound to the red colouring matter which supposedly helps fight against cancer and beetroot also increases the uptake of oxygen by as much as 400 percent. Additional studies are taking place to add support to these claims.

The green leafy part of the beetroot is also of nutritional value containing beta-carotene and other carotenoids

For all of these reasons, undeniably healthy beetroot is also the perfect choice for many of the popular weight loss diets.

Now the guys @ work have no comment about the mayo & beetroot combo :biggrin:

Do you know the facts about mayonnaise?
Mayonnaise is one of the safest products you can bring to your next picnic or event. It also contains Vitamin E and heart-healthy oils. You may have heard some of the fallacies about this versatile condiment, such as mayonnaise should never be left on the counter or that a jar of mayonnaise shouldn’t be left in the sun, but these are common misconceptions that are just not true. We’d like to enlist your help to spread the word about mayonnaise!
More than 60 years of research has proven that commercially prepared mayonnaise does not cause foodborne illness. In fact, these commercial products are carefully prepared with ingredients such as vinegar, lemon juice and salt to create an unfriendly environment that slows and even inhibits the growth of bacteria and, indeed, can kill it. Commercial mayonnaise and mayonnaise-type salad dressings also contain pasteurized eggs that have been heat treated to destroy harmful bacteria and ensure product safety, so you can be sure about inviting mayonnaise to your next picnic or gathering.
Mayonnaise can also be part of a healthy diet. Mayonnaise contains Vitamin E, which may protect postmenopausal women against strokes, according to research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. A study published by The New England Journal of Medicine also found a significant reduction in risk of heart disease among women who ate the most Vitamin E-rich foods, such as mayonnaise. Additionally, did you know that mayonnaise is naturally free of trans fats and is made with heart-healthy oils such as soybean and canola? And some mayonnaise is made with omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to reduce sudden death from heart attacks and have also been linked to the positive treatment of depression, arthritis and colon inflammation.

Like a politician a cockroach can live several weeks with its head cut off.

A crocodile is no good at performing cunnilingus as it cannot stick its tongue out.

A hedgehog's heart beats 300 times a minute on average and up to 400 times during masterbation

A hippo can open its mouth wide enough to fit a 4 foot tall child inside, or a 4 foot fully grown man.

Much like a raver, an ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.

Butterflies taste with their feet, pity if it lands on shite.

Camels have three eyelids to protect themselves from images of a nekkid Britney Spears

Much like human seminal fluid, Cat urine glows under a black-light.

Elephants and Amanda Vanstone are the only animals that can't jump.

Over 10,000 birds a year die from smashing into windows! Only 15 birds a year die from smashing into Mas OSX

Like cleasc an ant always falls over on its right side when intoxicated.

A dog may be mans best friend, but with a 21 inch tongue I'd say the giraffe is a girls best friend.

Like this chick the placement of a donkey's eyes in its head enables it to see all four feet at all times!


The world's termites outweigh the world's humans 10 to 1!

You are more likely to be killed by a Champagne cork than by a poisonous spider.

You can tell im bored at work hey..

Some useless facts right here..

Humans are the only primates that don't have pigment in the palms of their hands.

The sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." uses every letter in the alphabet.

The only 15 letter word that can be spelled without repeating a letter is uncopyrightable.

No word in the English dictionary rhymes with month, orange, silver and purple.

A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no-one knows why.

Months that begin on a Sunday will always have a "Friday the 13th."

The longest one-syllable word in the English language is screeched.

Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning.

A pack-a-day smoker will on average lose 2 teeth, every 10 years.

When you sneeze, all bodily functions stop...even your heart.

Your feet are bigger in the afternoon than the rest of the day.

A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no-one knows why.

actually, it does.

When examined by an audio-expert, it was found that the echo was "swallowed" by the original quack, due to the very similar acoustic structure between the quack and the echo. Because of this, it may be difficult to tell where the quack ends and the echo begins.

But more telling is that the human ear works by using echo, and if a duck's quack didn't echo we would never be able to tell where a duck was positioned just by listening.

i reckon turtle rhymes with purple. purple. turtle. close enough.

The ducks quack thing is complete BS.

I reckon the sneezing thing is crap too. i bet you could piss your pants when you sneeze if you needed to go badly enough. not speaking from experience.

true, turtle sounds close enough to purple

as far as the duck thing , never tested it, might try one day tho. then prolly have duck for dinner that night or something..mmm duck gotta catch the fucker first.

not sure about the sneezing tho. I guess not everything on the net is true..

Celery has negative calories! It takes more calories to eat a piece of celery than the celery has in it to begin with.

The two longest one-syllable words in the English language is "screeched. & strengths."

The word 'byte' is a contraction of 'by eight.'

A full seven percent of the entire Irish barley crop goes to the production of Guinness beer.

In Italian it's pretty straight forward when the word is referencing a specific gender, however it does get confusing when talking about places because they're all over the shop, ie: bibliotheca; what makes the library inherently feminine?

I'm finding Thai is pretty easy for the whole gender issue, instead of being applied to the gender you're talking it stems from your own sex. Pretty simple, you're not gonna fuck that up, cos your sex won't be changing frequently...though in this country that's debatable with a lot of people!  teef

The trade was transformed by the European Age of Discovery,[4] during which spice trade became an influential activity for European traders.[5] The route from Europe to the Indian Ocean via the Cape of Good Hope was pioneered by European navigators, such as Vasco Da Gama, resulting in new maritime routes for trade.[6]

yeah i am. i am amazed that the influences have carried that far down the route though because you see, there would be quite some middle manning between portugal and goa.

that is why i said i cant see a direct connection between the two, so much as to be settled by another. i would have envisged trade ports at least midway by sea, and i can't imagine the portugese trekking across africa/europe to colonise goa.

the logistics dont make sense.

wow, you need to read some books about the topic! i think u'd love it. the trade routes were pretty well charted and used regularly, the logistics are nuts but it really happened! usually the ships stopped once or twice on the way, like at the cape of good hope for water, but usually they went straight round to goa, where the english and the portugese had trading settlements. many ships traded cotton from england there, for other woods or spices which they THEN could trade further along closer to the dutch east indies, etc.

its a fascinating part of global history, i recommend reading the following popular history books! The Dutch East Indies Trading Company and the British trading company went to extraordinary lengths to wrestle teh spice trading from the portugese, and spanish! each country had their own little niche colonial settlements and trading routes, which they constantly fought over. obviously, the remains of this colonial influence has led to the development of interesting political climates in asia, especially!

You're still did better than me. You know what I learnt in years 10 and 11 history? I learnt all about world wars 1 and 2. That's it. I hated that because I always wanted to learn Ancient History. I also found it quite annoying how everyone says things like "OMG Hitler is liek the worst person evar!", when so many similar and worst things have happened throughout the duration of the world.

Also, did you know that apparently the number of Jews killed in World War 2 was overated to make Hitler seem like a worse person? Apparently it was only about 1 million or so killed, although there is no way of proving it seeing as it's highly likely that any documentation would have been changed by the British government.

 With the exception of maybe Stalin, who else is even close to Hitler? The Devil? Darth Vader? Lord Sauraman? Mr Burns?

 What events are on any scale close to the horror of WWII? (Well maybe the 2007 AFL Grand Final )

 I guess we will never know the exact toll of the holocaust but people who have devoted their whole life to understanding it figure it a long way above one million mate. Not sure where you are getting that from? If you ask me that figure comes from groups trying to run down sympathy for the Jewish. Holocaust denial much?

 Do you even know anything about Hitler? Year 10 history isn't really going to cover much imo.

Ghengis Kahn and various other people/wars etc. would have been much worse than WW2. We only think it is the worst because it was closer to our generation and still effects us. I have only read it from a couple of sites, I'm just trying to point out that seeing as propaganda was all the rage back then, the British Government may have pulled a quick one and done the same thing there. I'm not saying that is what I believe, just what some people believe and that it is a possibility. I'm pretty indifferent when it comes to knowing what to believe. I've read all about the World War etc., but what I was trying to point out was that if there were some changes made to the records of what happened in the war, how would we know now? Hell it's happened before in the past with things like the Bible and people still believe that. Just for the record I'm not some neo-nazi who believes what Hitler did was 'right', but it is interesting looking at what he did and his actual aims from a philosophical point of view.

Are you serious? Just a quick look around shows figures from WW2 of over 25,000,000 soldiers killed, 42,000,000 civilians killed and over 5,700,000 victims of the halocaust. In fact 3.71% of the worlds population died during this war. Soviet Union lost 13.5% of its entire population, Poland 16%, Germany 10% and the list goes on. Even if these figures are exagerated a bit it is still something near impossible to comprehend.

Whilst there is no doubt Ghengis Khan unleashed some serious fury back in the day, there is no way his rape & pillage hobby came even close to anything WW2 delivered.

i can see where you are going here but i think a lot of the numbers from the holocaust comes from well-documented evidence - gravesites, from missing person reports and stories from survivors AND from the war criminals themselves.

sure, most history you need to take with a pinch of salt, but that means u have to be critical about reports from BOTH sides of the story.

as for the philosophical leanings of hitler and his aims, i would hope most people would find it horrible to even comprehend? not interesting?!

There have definately been repercussions after the war... like Hiroshima in Japan. There would be countless deaths caused after the war which is still continuing (i.e all those cancers and genetic mutations etc)

So what Im trying to say is, that I think the statistics for deaths caused by WWII are probably alot higher than accounted for

True, the War did kill a lot of people, although before I was only referring to the Holocaust. Also when I mentioned Ghengis Kahn, he may not have killed nowhere near as many people, but when you compare the worlds population as it was then to as it is now it could have been a larger proportion. Anyway I just woke up so I'm not going to write another big long post with holes in it.

Surprising considering how little time most AMers seem to spend sleeping...

Going back to the WW2 discussion it's amazing how many local 'side stories' there are, deaths that occurred during the war that would not have been counted as war deaths. I help some elderly people out with computer problems and I've heard some really traumatic stories about things that happened in Melbourne and Sydney during WW2 - for example stories involving English ships with leaking mustard gas tanks arriving at the ports there and air force people forced to unload them. icon_cry

How can you not find it interesting? There is so much to be learnt and discussed from that era in Euope, and Hitler was a major part of that. A vast melange of philosophical, psychological, political and sociological ideas, interpretations and misreadings were prevalent in early to mid 20th century Germany. It is one of the most interesting cultural settings in history. The people, events and culture sorrounding that man are still very much a part of European identity today. I can't think of many more interesting people, and more importantly places in time to study.

They are not mutually exclusive things though. Jew baiting has been a part of history for over a thousand years as well. These are people that had to endure pogroms every easter in certain areas, and plenty of other times outside of that. Misreadings of Martin Luther and Friedrich Nietzsche went into National Socialist thought, amongst other eminent thinkers. Hitler sorrounded himself with some brilliant minds. Martin Heidegger and Leni Riefenstahl are of immense philosophical importance, not to mention Heidegger was fucking Hannah Arendt at the time. Then there is the Functionalism vs. Intentionalism arguments. Alot of history, culture and politics went into the man that Hitler was, and how he thought. The European cultural zeitgeist and political dealings shaped him and his path immensely.

I'll stop ranting now, I have just recently added alot of European historical works to my list of things to read.

I find everything relating to the rise and downfall of the Nazis as 'interesting', simply because it's a lesson that Europe (and the world) should not ever forget.

I've got family on both sides whose lives were disrupted by the war. More dramatically on the German side - parts of my family came from regions that were lost (Silesia). Interestingly enough most of the family moved West but one stayed behind (he spoke Polish and wasn't forcibly removed). So there are plenty of stories to be heard, and thankfully the family doesn't feel the need to hide them or not tell the grandchildren/great nephews about them...

Yeah, I think many people who saw the worst did not want to share it.

How's this for a historical family photo (I have a much higher resolution scan as well obviously). It's my grandmother and her siblings, with her parents reading newspaper somewhere during WW2 (would be very early on in the war years). The beach is probably somewhere along the northern coast of what was then East Germany (and is now Poland).

Incorrect also.

Quote
There is no universally agreed upon plural of "platypus" in the English language. Scientists generally use "platypuses" or simply "platypus". Colloquially, "platypi" is also used for the plural, although this is pseudo-Latin;[3] the Greek plural would be "platypodes".

...The Myth of the Flat Earth or Flat Earth mythology refers to the modern belief that the prevailing cosmological view during the Middle Ages saw the Earth as flat, instead of spherical. During the early Middle Ages, many scholars maintained the spherical viewpoint first expressed by the Ancient Greeks. By the 14th century, belief in a flat earth among the educated was essentially dead.

and that "with extraordinary [sic] few exceptions no educated person in the history of Western Civilisation from the third century B.C. onward believed that the earth was flat" and that the prevailing view was of a spherical earth.

...that drugs are not only part of the modern game, but were prevalent, too, in the ancient Olympiad. Coffee was the most commonly ingested stimulant, and the outcry over its abuse led to the introduction of ten events wherein the use of such stimulants was outlawed. These events became collectively known as the Decafflon.

...that one track and field event honours the memory of Relayticles of Lesbos, who never took a husband. Legend has it that a curious burglar broke into Relayticles’ house one morning and stole from her bedroom something of great personal importance. So determined was Relayticles to retrieve this item that she gave chase, the burglar sprinting away for miles, passing the strange object on to fresher legs in the next town, who in turn passed it on to the next, and so on, the desperate Relayticles always in hot pursuit. To this day, nobody knows what it was that was being passed from hand to hand, but it is remembered today by the shiny baton in the 4x4 Relay events.

Dont you have to take into account the 'crush' factor when using a blunt knife?  As in when using a blunt knife you squash a certain percentage of the onion rather than the clean slice thus exposing more of the onion juices to the air and to your eyes.  So cutting with a sharp knife may not prevent the sting but cutting with a blunt one increases the chances and potency of the tearful wrath!

c) disintergrate
d) or just keep going

None of the above.

I don't imagine a bullet goes fast enough to burn up in the atmosphere otherwise it wouldn't kill anyone properly.

It wouldn't come down at the same speed because it will be at it's maximum speed as soon as it leaves the muzzle, then it will slow down due to friction and gravity, reach the top of its path, and start falling and accelerating, but only until it reaches terminal velocity, that is where the downward force of gravity is equal to the aerodynamic drag on the bullet. This is the speed it will hit the ground at, and this is what the bullet will do.
In the absence of atmosphere the bullet would reach the muzzle velocity just as it passes the muzzle of the gun, so it might in fact hit the ground faster than it left the muzzle of the gun (if the muzzle is not at ground level)*.

Can't see why it would disintegrate, see point a.

It wouldn't keep going; even in the absence of any atmosphere the escape velocity of Earth is 11.2Km/s, way faster than any bullet. Then there is the atmosphere to deal with.

*And if you fired a feather up at the same time and speed as the bullet it would land at the same time (and speed).

I just did a simple google search and found that whilst there is more chance the cat will survive the higher fall, it will still more than likely come off with internal injuries/broken bones and end up having to be put down.

Harm free?

Hardly..

I have seen evidence of this. cats dropped from height and yes from the seventh story the cat was unconscious but still woke up and lived a normal life.
Your right "harm free" was an overstatement.

That's the day the main characters find themselves on at the beginning of the second film.

However disappointed Back to the Future fans can still celebrate something about July 5.
