Questions that are hard to answer?

[femaleacid]

I was reading up on a favourite website of mine and there was a few questions that made me think hmmmm.

Is there any questions you know that can't be answered yet make you think?
E.G.
Did Adam and Eve have navels?
Do nudists have pin-ups of people with clothes on?

How far can you travel into space... where does it stop?

[granty92]

If you keep on travelling east, when will you reach the east? And what will lie east of you then? (east is replaceable with west / north / south)

[missyburd]

What came first, chicken or egg :-P

[granty92]

the rooster came first, question is where did the rooster come from :P

[femaleacid]

What was the man doing when he first discovered milk? :o

[tactcom7]

How far can you travel into space... where does it stop?

This.

[femaleacid]

This.
Until you run out of oxygen?

[Milky Bar Kid]

Until you run out of oxygen?

That's you stopping, not space. Where does space stop?

[femaleacid]

That's you stopping, not space. Where does space stop?
Yes but you'd only know if somebody travelled wouldn't you? I think..
I hate science :(

[Owenski]

Why has the woman next to me at work still got a job, useless bint!

[femaleacid]

Why has the woman next to me at work still got a job, useless bint!
:lol: Now now!

[tactcom7]

Why has the woman next to me at work still got a job, useless bint!

Probably some quota they have to stick to... :rolleyes:

[Owenski]

I've got a fair bit of work on at the moment (note fewer posts). and lets for example say I've got 7.5hrs work to do in my 7.5hr day, my dead lines don't change I've still got that amount to get done so any distaractions mean I must either work harder or longer in order to meet said deadline. HOWEVER I spend EASILY 45min-1hr a day stood over her telling her simple junior level **** about a job she's meant to have been doing longer than I've been breathing, do I get any slack for the time spent helping her? do I feck, and what happens if I dont help? She crys then I get agro for not just helping her in the first place.

So you answer my earlier queston cos I certainly cant... why does she still have a job here?

[tactcom7]

she's shagging the boss?

[femaleacid]

she's shagging the boss?
+1 :lol:

Or why don't you put her desk equipment in jelly? I've always wanted to try that.

[Owenski]

This woman would cripple the gaffer if he got under it, he's my height (5'6) built stick thin... she's well... not. I've seen my boss's misses, lets just say been loaded obviously does help lol. He's got no reason to be shopping about when he's got one of those at home thats for sure.

[jambo]

And I bring you important answers to important questions*

* There is some discussions among some of the more interested parties about how correct the answers are, but I rather like the process.

[Owenski]

You want me to put her desk equipment in jelly?
wtf?
Congratulations on the most random thing I've seen posted for a while.

Same style mouse!

[jambo]

Also,
How does my brain decide the importance of information to remember?

Today I've recalled, on demand answers to the following questions:
"When you built the servers 18 months ago, what non-standard ports were the RPC calls restricted to?"
"What make of brake pads did Lozzo reckon were used by many as OEM fitment"


And yet, my wedding anniversary, and birthdays of my family flitter in and out of my wandering mind. Why?

Jambo

Have I interested you now? :)

I do the same..
I somehow remember the REG plate of a car that was outside a restaurant 3 years ago. I don't know why I remember it. *sigh*

So, SV650.org isn't your favourite feamaleacid?

That's you stopping, not space. Where does space stop?

It stops where you press the next key after spacebar?

[Owenski]

Yes,
In jelly I am always interested.

Hmmm I guess so :D

[femaleacid]

It has to be lime jelly though. Best flavour EVER.

[Owenski]

Agreed!

[femaleacid]

Agreed!
You are now on my awesome list for agreeing sir Owenski.

i have to do this to my boss, he likes jelly so definateley think he would appreciate it :P

[ClunkintheUK]

How exactly did you get the Jelly to set around the mouse? Though I no longer work with the poeple I'd like to do this to.

[femaleacid]

i have to do this to my boss, he likes jelly so definateley think he would appreciate it :P
If someone did it to me I would give them a nice bear hug and say thank you. Everybody has gotta' love jelly.
Bit*h better buy me a new mouse though.

[ClunkintheUK]

I also have a questian. Why are Chavs on scooters always surprised to see me (or any other cyclist) behind them 100m after the traffic lights when their scooters can only do 30 mph?

[femaleacid]

i have to do this to my boss, he likes jelly so definateley think he would appreciate it :P
Not entirely sure... I think Youtube needs to answer this one!

[Spank86]

space is thought to be finite but unbounded like the surface of a balloon, so in a sense it never ends, it just wraps round on itself.

The surface of the earth also has no ends like a balloon its just space achieves it in an extra dimension.

Theres several ways to do the jelly thing, the least damaging would be to wrap the top of the mouse in clingfilm and simply lay it on the jelly as it sets in the bowl(upside down from the way it appears in the pic, after its placed on the table)

[tactcom7]

How can someone be cruel enough to cut off another persons head with a knife or slash a childs throat? (im thinking of syria etc)

[Bibio]

quite easily if your a coward then add a dash of religion which makes it justifiable and you have the perfect recipe.

[tactcom7]

Ahh the same as female genital mutilation. If one person did it they'd lock him up but because millions do it Hey its OK!

this happened in bournemouth last week unfortunately, a spanish student who came to one of our english schools was alone in his flat at night when someone came in a knifed his head off, is completely vile!!

I've seen too many gore videos/pictures to even flinch at it now.
Still sick though...

[Bibio]

best get out clause ever 'god told me to do it'.

[granty92]

im a little wuss when it comes to that sort of stuff, bit silly when i've just joined the army and will see a lot of blood :/

Hopefully you wont.
My friends got back from Afghanistan and he said he's seen some stuff that he never wishes to tell anybody else about. Scarred him pretty much.

But hey, I saw a dead cat and rabbit today.

[Milky Bar Kid]

I sometimes wonder if what I see and hear looks and sounds the same inside someone elses head? If that makes sense?

[Bibio]

i sometimes wonder what blind from birth people dream about.

[granty92]

my mate has recently got back off tour and has seen some horrific sights but i think i wont mind it as much if they are shooting me i will obviously shoot back, im excited but nervous about it all, i have done all my medicals and now have selection next month then im off to training :) also someone kicked my cat in the face monday night and broke his poor little jaw, if i ever see the person i will tear their balls off and make them eat them. just saying

[femaleacid]

Can deaf people hear their own thoughts?

[daveyrach]

Can deaf people hear their own thoughts?

Yes

[Sir Trev]

Why am I trying to read A Brief History of Time?

[Small Clanger]

If a deaf person goes to Court, is it still called a hearing?
Can you cry underwater?
Why does Goofy stand upright while Pluto stays on all fours?
Why does a dog get mad when you blow in his face, then, when you take him in the car, sticks his head out of the window?
Why is Bra singular and Panties plural?
Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

[Small Clanger]

And why do Pringles come in a re-sealable tube when it says "once you pop you can't stop" on the side?

And if Volvic's been filtered through volcanic rock for millions of years, why do the bottles have a "best by" date on them?

[keith_d]

You're all being far too sensible with your questions. Try:

If it takes a week to walk a fortnight, how many bananas are there in bunch of grapes?

[femaleacid]

Yes

But if you was born def you don't know any language or words? What would you hear...

[Stuuk1]

Who hides my f*cking pen at work. Forever having to get a new one from the cupboard...

[Bibio]

when putting something away 'somewhere safe' why do i always forget where that safe place is.

[Spank86]

It's me.

Bit of a trek to get up there but so worth it.

[Stuuk1]

Top of the range bic pens, don't blame ya..!

They still know words thru signing. My son is deaf he had menningitis at 2 months way before learning to talk. Thru the wonders of surgery and tech he is now 13 and can hear almost as well as a 'hearing' person.

Wow, that's amazing :)
Ive always wondered it!

[tinpants]

How does a snowplough driver get to work?
Why is there only one monopolies commission? Ok, so thats a bit out of date now but you get the idea!!

Something I always wondered when I was working as a paramedic / EMT was why do people that have little or no medical training insist on telling you how to do your job when you turn up to treat their friend / relative / neighbour etc. Really used to boil my ****.

[femaleacid]

If there were two conjiined twins, and one committed murder. Would they both be sent on death sentence? Despite the other being innocent.

[ruddlad]

If the universe is expanding as they say, what is it expanding into??????

[Spank86]

Finite but unbounded, when you blow up a balloon the surface expands but it doesn't expand INTO anything.

[tactcom7]

Finite but unbounded, when you blow up a balloon the surface expands but it doesn't expand INTO anything.

Yes it does, the whole balloon expands and takes the surface with it.

[Spank86]

The balloon expands yes but the surface gets bigger without expanding into anything (from a 2 dimensional perspective of course) the universe simply,does this in 3 dimensions.

[DJ123]

How?

[Spank86]

What do you mean how?

The atoms move further apart from each other leaving larger gaps inbetween.

[DJ123]

no, just 'how?' as a question

[DJ123]

or 'why?'

[Spank86]

They're only valid questions in context.

[DJ123]

Why?

[Spank86]

Exactly.

[DJ123]

How?

[Spank86]

Like so.

[DJ123]

Are we there yet?

[Spank86]

You missed out the nearly.

[DJ123]

no, that's not the question. It's Are we there yet?

[Spank86]

No, it's are we nearly there yet.

THEN it's are we there yet.

[keith_d]

Finite but unbounded, when you blow up a balloon the surface expands but it doesn't expand INTO anything.

And from a three-space perspective there are several possibilities:

1) The universe is expanding at the speed of light
2) Photons are dropping off the 'edge' of our three-space universe
3) Photons are being translated in some way which contains them within a bounded three-space universe

Choose one.

( Who said multiple choice questions have to be easy? )

[ruddlad]

Finite but unbounded, when you blow up a balloon the surface expands but it doesn't expand INTO anything.

That isn't an answer, to say something is finite!! A balloon expands into the space surrounding it!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could answer a mathematically question to the highest possible number to finite +1 but it doesn't solve it. The question stands, what is outside the universe??? I

There isnt anything outside the universe, there is no outside, thats the point of the world universe.

If there was something outside it it would by default be part of the universe, because thats what the word means.

You're missing an important word (or two, unbounded is also important, but surface more so) the balloon itself expands into the space surrounding it but the surface of it does not, the surface of it simply expands in two dimensions but theres nothing else in those dimensions for it to expand into.

[punyXpress]

They're only valid questions in context.

This thread is the context.

[Shawthing]

Something I've always wanted to know:

That glue strip on post-it notes. If it's so bad at sticking to things , how come its is realy well stuck to the paper?

At the end of the day it's all theories. No one can actually know for sure. Hence the title of the post. So does it end? Is there an edge to the universe? Remember the world was flat years ago and everything revolved around our planet. Even now Einsteins theories are being questioned. I reckon all the lost mail is beyond the universe!!

[Spank86]

It's been a long while since anyone truly believed the world was flat.

Even during columbuses time they didn't really believe that.

And no, there's no edge according to theory.

Einsteins theories are being adapted, they'll never be thrown away same as newtons theories weren't Completely replaced by einsteins even though really they were.
