Dimples first appeared on golf balls more than 100 years ago when golfers discovered that balls which had been scratched or roughed up traveled further than smooth balls. Dimples are what gives a golf ball lift. They create two layers of air going around the ball. The top layer is going faster than the bottom layer which creates turbulence. They also reduce the wake by keeping the boundry layer seperation to a minimum which reduces drag...so goes further.
In new zealand they make rugby ball shaped golf balls, and hit them into a big net!

Only if it's spinning, a ball without spin will have a symettrical wake and no lift forces.

Raki is horrible and gets you pished very fast, mugs you quicker than a load of hoodied chavs on scooters

The Capgras delusion (or Capgras syndrome) is a rare disorder in which a person holds a delusional belief that an acquaintance, usually a spouse or other close family member, has been replaced by an identical looking impostor

Wonderful

I love this one too:
The Fregoli delusion is the belief that various people that the believer meets are actually the same person in disguise

Ooo thats interesting.

Theres another disorder I know of which is in this book I read called "the man who mistook his wife for a hat". This particular person didn't recognise their leg and was petrified of it (to the extent that he tried to throw his leg out the bed which resulted in him falling on the floor). I can't think of what the disorder was called though..
