a cat will always land on it's feet if it falls.
Toast will always land butter side down.
So, if you stick toast to the back of a cat won't you get some kind
of perpetual momentum that could be used to generate electricty
?

We have a barn whose front and back doors can be quickly open
and closed. There is also a car which is just long enough so that if you try
to fit it in the barn, and the barn doors close, they would close down on
the front and back bumpers of the car. Now, an observer in the car (say,
Carol) speeds the car towards the barn at a significant fraction of the
speed of light. One might then argue the following: from the point of view
of an observer sitting in the barn (say, Bob) the car will be length
contracted, and at some point it will be completely inside the barn. Bob
then reasons that he can close and open both barn doors while the car is
completely inside the barn. However, Carol will argue that it is the Barn
which moving with respect to here, and thus it the barn which is length
contracted. So, she argues, if Bob tries to close both doors at the same
time as the car goes through the barn, then the doors will smash into the
car.

Not a fact but its kinda creepy
Don't got that font. Care to explain?
Okay so I had to check this out.
In fact the first plane to hit the twin towers was American
Airlines Flight 11 from Logan International Airport in Boston to
Los Angeles International.
Its airport designation would therefore have been AA11 or
AA011.
The plane's tail registration number, according to a couple of
websites, was N33 4AA which is close I guess, but certainly not the
same as Q33.
So nice try, but complete ficttion.

Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

- It is illegal to be drunk in a pub or bar.
- Any boy under the age of 10 may not see a naked mannequin.
- In Scotland it is illegal to be a drunk in possession of a cow.
UK laws that WON"T get you into trouble:
- It is legal for a male to urinate in public, as long it is on the rear wheel of his motor vehicle and his right hand is on the vehicle.
- In Chester you can only shoot a Welsh person
with a bow and arrow inside the city walls and after midnight.
- In Hereford you may not shoot a Welsh person on Sunday with a longbow in the Cathedral Close
- In York, excluding Sundays, it is perfectly legal to shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow. I'm starting to see a pattern here....

Morning Thunder, The Facts On FLATULENCE
July 6th 2007 00:25
We all
do it! There are those who will deny it, but even dead
people fart!
Fifteen Flatulent Facts:
1. The average number of farts a person expels in one day is between 9 and 17.
2. Most of us pass somewhere between 200 and 2,000 ml of gas per day - the average is about 600 ml.
3. Farts are composed of: nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and methane.
4. Gas gets into our guts by swallowing air (only a small amount), bacterial production within the bowel and colon (which accounts for a lot), and gas diffusion from our blood.
5. Gases produced in the bowel's interior space or lumen -- the carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and methane -- accumulate when the digestive system's assortment of resident bacteria, acting like microscopic gas factories, begin the task of digesting our latest meal.
6. Fart gases are variable depending on what we ate, how much air we swallowed, what kinds of bacteria we have in our intestines, and how long we hold in the fart.
7. The longer a fart is held in, the larger the proportion of inert nitrogen it contains, because the other gases tend to be absorbed into the bloodstream through the walls of the intestine.
8. The odour of farts comes from small amounts of hydrogen sulfide gas and mercaptans in the mixture. These compounds contain sulfur. Nitrogen-rich compounds such as skatole and indole also add to the stench of farts. The more sulfur-rich your diet, the more sulfides and mercaptans will be produced by the bacteria in your guts, and the more your farts will stink. Foods such as cauliflower, eggs and meat are notorious for producing smelly farts.
9. Women fart just as much as men. however scientific studies have shown that women's farts have a higher concentration of odour-causing gases than men's farts, but men's farts have a larger volume.
10. Beans contain sugars that humans cannot digest. The most offensive sugars, known as "flatulence factors" to scientists who research farts, are raffinose, stachiose, and verbascose. When these sugars reach our intestines, the bacteria go wild, have a big feast, and make lots of gas!
11. Other notorious fart-producing foods include corn, bell peppers, cauliflower, cabbage, milk, bread, eggs, beer, and raisins. People unable to digest milk due to lactose intolerance will suffer extreme flatulence if they consume dairy products.
12. Roman Emperor Claudius once passed a law legalising farting at banquets out of concern for people's health. There was a widespread belief that a person could be poisoned or catch a disease by retaining farts.
13. When you hold in a fart, it is neither released nor absorbed. It simply migrates back upward into the intestine and comes out later.
14. And finally for the big question I'm sure you've all been waiting for....... Yes! It really is possible to light a fart! But be warned, many have burnt themselves and/or their clothing in the process!
Farts burn because they contain hydrogen and/or methane, both of which are flammable gases.
15. Farts burn with a blue or yellow flame. A blue flame is indicative of the presence of methane in the flatus. Since only one-third of the population consistently produce methane to begin with, an exclusive club called the Royal Order of the Blue Flame has since been established.
