Title: The Silly Questions Game
Description: something you wanted to ask?
RedeyesUK - September 17, 2005 02:42 AM (GMT)
OK, the rules are simple: just answer the question in the previous post, and then ask a question of your own.
for example:
| QUOTE ("poster 1") |
| Q. what is your favourite colour? |
| QUOTE ("poster 2") |
A. Blue
Q. what is the thrust-to-weight ratio of an unladen swallow?* |
etc.
questions can be what you like, they can be personal or general-knowledgeific.
*=silly Monty Python joke!
I'll start, unsurprisingly, with:
Q. What is your favourite colour?
JJW009 - September 17, 2005 03:01 AM (GMT)
Black... until they come up with a daqrker colour (bet you never heard that before ;))
Is that an African swallow with a Coconut by any chance?
Hmmm... OK, my anser then question:
Yes, loads - about 10 whiskys and 2 bottles of pills...
Have you been drinkin' sir?
RedeyesUK - September 17, 2005 03:09 AM (GMT)
A. noo, Osheefer, iee hanvet druched a top!
Q. how are you going to feel in the morning?
JJW009 - September 17, 2005 03:15 AM (GMT)
A. I shan't be doing "morning" if I can help it, I'll be fine by 2pm!!
Q. If you work all night, what do you eat and when!?
(gotta sleep now... cu tomorow!)
RedeyesUK - September 17, 2005 03:22 AM (GMT)
A. I feast on the still-warm corpses of Vampire bats and virgin maidens, at the stroke of midnight! :blink: :ph43r:
just kidding, i eat perfectly normal foods (more or less, i'm on a crappy diet ATM :angry: ). I eat when i'm hungry, the idea of 'mealtimes' (ie, lunch/dinner etc) is a bit of a hazy concept for me, as i don't really keep a regular schedule. therefore, i think nothing of eating cornflakes at 6PM, or curry at 8AM!
Q. when was your last holiday, and where did you go?
CU later, have a good sleep!
paulpowers - September 17, 2005 06:42 AM (GMT)
A. St. Malo in France with my wife it was lovely
Q. what number on the Periodic table is aluminium :o
RedeyesUK - September 18, 2005 12:20 AM (GMT)
A. 13
Q. How many oceans are there in the world, and can you name them? :unsure:
JJW009 - September 18, 2005 12:40 AM (GMT)
Oh, off the top of my head I'd say:
Ocean Area (square miles) Average Depth (ft) Deepest depth (ft)
Pacific Ocean 64,186,000 15,215 Mariana Trench, 36,200 ft deep
Atlantic Ocean 33,420,000 12,881 Puerto Rico Trench, 28,231 ft deep
Indian Ocean 28,350,000 13,002 Java Trench, 25,344 ft deep
Southern Ocean 7,848,300 16,400 South Sandwich Trench, 23,736 ft (7,235 m) deep
Arctic Ocean 5,106,000 3,953 Eurasia Basin, 17,881 ft deep
So, 5 I guess?
(Darn, all my tabs and spaces got eaten :()

Q. Which scientific discovery would you have been most pleased to make? Past or Future!
RedeyesUK - September 18, 2005 02:16 AM (GMT)
A. I'd like to be the person that invents a zero-emission hydrogen (or similar) engine - one that's practical, fast and cheap.
not only would it be great for the environment and so on, i also think it'll be cool to have all those mega-big oil companies hating me! :D
(and the money would be nice too)
Q. Preference: large or small? (.)(.) ;)

Good Question!
With certain notable exceptions, small is generally better. Lower energy consumption, more enviromental and cheaper to make.
Take Cats for example... I'd rather have a cute little pussy rather than some man eating tiger!!!
Saying that... I'm on the verge of buying a larger screen (26" !!!) to watch the cute little pussy on :blink:
Doh!!!! I just saw the (.)(.) uhemm..... Small to medium... but not large! Big ones just get in the way, give you black eyes and are generally scarey droopey swingers I'd rather avoid!
| QUOTE (Patrick Moore) |
| How big is your reflector? |
He really said that - talking to Morcomb and Wise!!! Actually... it was Mike Yarwood, but nearly. I'm watching Sky at Night and they just played it :)
OK, boring but easy:
Q. Tea or Coffee?
RedeyesUK - September 18, 2005 02:47 AM (GMT)
LMAO!
I was wondering what (.)(.) had to do with 'Lower energy consumption, more enviromental and cheaper to make'
:lol:
A. tea, usually, but coffee when i'm out and about - as long as it's proper coffee, i can't stand instant.
(little hint, BTW: if you're feeling tired and worn out, try camp coffee (neat). tastes revolting, but knocks the spots off Red Bull/Pro+!)
Q. got any points on your licence?
paulpowers - September 18, 2005 08:49 AM (GMT)
A. not yet <_<
q. is kelly clarkson related to jeremy clarkson??? :P
RedeyesUK - September 18, 2005 08:58 AM (GMT)

Q. is the universe infinite
:blink:
JJW009 - September 18, 2005 05:59 PM (GMT)
A. No - if it was created in a big bang and has been expanding ever since, then it has an end.
Q. The Simpsons, or Southpark?
RedeyesUK - September 19, 2005 01:45 AM (GMT)

oh ok then - smooth :P
Q. Tuna - in brine, spring water, or sunflower oil?
JJW009 - September 19, 2005 02:18 PM (GMT)
A. This is a complex issue. I looked in the cupboard, and have 4 tins in Brine. This is just because they were cheap though... the last ones I bought were in Soya oil, but I think I prefer Sunflower Oil because if you Fry things in it, the whole house smells for a week :)
Q. Daphne or Velma ?
RedeyesUK - September 19, 2005 02:27 PM (GMT)
A.
they're both annoying, so might as well go for the looker :P

A. here's the Wiki:
| QUOTE |
Ignoring external forces, the ocean's surface defines a geopotential surface or geoid, where the gravitational force is directly towards the centre of the Earth and there is no net lateral force and hence no flow of water.
Now consider the effect of added external, massive bodies such as the Moon and Sun. These massive bodies have strong gravitational fields that diminish with distance in space. It is the spatial differences in these fields that deform the geoid shape. This deformation has a fixed orientation relative to the influencing body and the rotation of the Earth relative to this shape drives the tides around. Gravitational forces follow the inverse-square law (force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance), but tidal forces are inversely proportional to the cube of the distance. The Sun's gravitational pull on Earth is 179 times bigger than the Moon's, but because of its much greater distance, the Sun's tidal effect is smaller than the Moon's (about 46% as strong). For simplicity, the next few sections use the word "Moon" where also "Sun" can be understood.
Since the Earth's crust is solid, it moves with everything inside as one whole, as defined by the average force on it. For a geoid shape this average force is equal to the force on its centre. The water at the surface is free to move following forces on its particles. It is the difference between the forces at the Earth's centre and surface which determine the effective tidal force.
At the point right "under" the Moon (the sub-lunar point), the water is closer than the solid Earth; so it is pulled more and rises. On the opposite side of the Earth, facing away from the Moon (the antipodal point), the water is farther than the solid earth, so it is pulled less and moves away from Earth, rising as well. On the lateral sides, the water is pulled in a slightly different direction than at the centre. The vectorial difference with the force at the centre points almost straight inwards to Earth. It can be shown that the forces at the sub-lunar and antipodal points are approximately equal and that the inward forces at the sides are about half that size. Somewhere in between there is a point where the tidal force is parallel to the Earth's surface. Those parallel components actually contribute most to the formation of tides, since the water particles are free to follow. The actual force on a particle is only about a ten millionth of the force caused by the Earth's gravity. |
does that answer your question? :P
Q. why do your fingers and toes go all wrinkly when you have a bath? and why just your fingers/toes and not your face?

A: From Discover
| QUOTE |
| Our skin has a protective top layer, called the stratum corneum, made of protein and fats that absorb water. A primary function of the stratum corneum is to protect the underlying tissue from environmental injury. In areas that experience high mechanical use and friction—such as the palms, fingers, soles, and toes—the stratum corneum has evolved to be thickest and hence most protective. As a result, these areas of the skin can absorb the most water. They also have less room for expansion and therefore tend to wrinkle most when they get wet. The type of water one soaks in influences how quickly the skin on hands and feet wrinkles. Seawater, which has a high mineral content, tends to keep water from penetrating into the skin. The relative absence of minerals in household bathing water, on the other hand, tends to exaggerate water penetration into the skin. So you will wrinkle more slowly if you are swimming in the Caribbean than if you are showering at home. Wrinkling from prolonged water exposure is a process distinct from the generalized wrinkling caused by aging. The latter is due predominantly to loss of elastic tissue in the underlying dermal layer of the skin, two layers beneath the outermost stratum corneum. |
and it did answer my question cheers. but try this.
