Darth Maul was cool as hell as well , the most kick ass Sith of the lot and had the potential to appear in the first 2 prequels .... but no , they slice him in half and then replace him with Christopher Lee (good actor) but not exactly inspiring in a Lightsaber Battle ............ a Finale between Yoda and Darth Maul would have been way more exciting .

In the average lifetime, a person will walk the equivalent of 5 times around the equator.
The sound of E.T. walking was made by someone squishing her hands in jelly.
Clans of long ago that wanted to get rid of unwanted people without killing them used to burn their houses down -- hence the expression "to get fired"

As long as the proof goes in the Comedy Club thread... :)
The Guiness World Record for flipping and catching a single stack of beer mats is currently held at 112
And (love the irony when I found this out!) his name was Mat Hand:)

Lemmings are not prone to committing mass suicide. This legend was due a set-up scene, in a Disney film called the White Wilderness, where Lemmings were specially imported into Alberta, Canada, which is not a natural Lemming habitat and herded into jumping off a cliff. This was filmed and edited to give the false impression that hundreds of Lemmings would routinely throw themselves to oblivion to protect the rest of the species.
In fact, same as most animals, Lemmings would rather kill each other than sacrifice themselves...
So, that's me old PC game in the bin, then...

So it is. Good spot. :-dd
Square pegs do indeed fit into round holes as long as the Hypotenues of the two equilateral trangles of the square is no longer than twice the radius of the round hole.
:)
IN OTHER WORDS
It will fit as long as the length between opposite corners of the sqaure is small enough.
Sort of... Berlins pegs aren't square, if they're made up of equilateral triangles... if the long diagonal fits, the rhomboid peg will fit in the round hole though :p

Ok my bad:
A chicken once had half its head cut off and survived for over eighteen months, headless
Jimmy2Feet
11-10-10, 03:57 PM
half headless
:D
I don't think one ear and a brain stem counts as half a head!
but doesnt count as headless.
Let's agree on 1/4th of a head.
Jimmy2Feet
12-10-10, 09:11 AM
personally i still go with headless. But without a picture i don't think we can come to a final decision!
Google search it is!! lol
Jimmy2Feet
12-10-10, 09:13 AM
actually wasn't expecting to find anything! looks QI have done a bit on mike!
Looks like he is headless to me!
warning there is a picture of mike the headless chicken on this link. Not graphic but still don't look if you don't think you will not like it!

Corals, anenomes, sponges and jellyfish all all animals, and i would be very supprised if you found ones that could jump, star fish as well thinking about it.

Good point, again on the real point again not a mammal, its a reptile. I think that an elephant is the only mammal that cant jump.
