is there anything you ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW?

The web only comes out of the back part of the spider so probably not. They do secrete oils on their legs to stop them sticking to their own webs, though that is obviously not going to make it sticks to objects...

Was it hairy?

Maybe the hairs were sticking to things it was touching (by being entangled), such as carpet?

Or maybe it was the spray you sprayed on it that made it stick to things.
 
^^ good points. Yes i did spray the fuck out of it, but when i went to throw it into the toilet, it hung down fromt he paper into the bowl like floating down the web

I looked like it had hairly legs
 
Perhaps, when you picked the spider up with the paper, you got some web as well and when you let go of the spider, its web stayed attached to the paper, therfore; the spider dangling in thy toilet.

Case closed. ;)
 
Why does celery go limp in the fridge if it's left whole on the stalk (wrapped in plastic), but stays fresh if you cut it in lengths and put it in a container?


Oh the things that bother my immensely complex mind.
 
You know I just did some quick research... apparently Celery continues to grow when its not cut.. if you cut it you destroy the petoiles and it actually keeps fresher for longer.. meh it still doesnt last long enough for me
 
Celery goes limp and stringy when it loses moisture. As Moosh said, it continues to grow if it not cut up, so if you cut it, and then put it in an airtight container, it retains it's moisture for longer.

You can get more life out of your celery if you take it out of the plastice that it comes in and wrap it in aluminium foil. You can apparently get around 2 weeks out of it doing this, or up to a month if you wrap it in damp paper towel, then the aluminium foil.

Also, if, despite your wrapping efforts, the celery gets limp, you can revive it by cutting off about a few cm from both ends and submerge the stalks in a bowl of ice water for about 30 minutes. Not sure how the celery comes out afterwards but I've heard this from a number of places. 4 out of 7 homemakers can't be wrong!

Wow. And I bet you didn't even google that. ;)

That's actually very interesting about the celery continuing to grow. I wonder, if you left it there for a very long time, would it eventually take over your whole fridge??
 
Its a fuckin conspiracy I swear. potatoes and celery will take over your kitchen if you're not careful 8(

you can also crisp up limp lettuce with the same icewater/container technique. Very handy. Nothing quite like osmosis to get you drunk ;D and keep your vegetables appearing fresh
 
i dont get the celery thing either. i buy mine in little pieces because we dont eat a whole thing of celery quick enough, but it still goes limp after like 3 days. i might try the container thing though.

ok might sound like a really STUPID question.
is it true if you drink an alcholic drink through a straw you get drunk quicker (like because you sip more frequently than you do when you take gulps?) does anyone have a scientific answer for this?
*looks at pop*
 
^^ Yep it's true, I used to have a friend with muscular dystrophy who was in a wheelchair and had very limited use of his arms, so he used to drink his beer through a straw. As a result, he got very drunk very easily, even taking into account his lower body mass.

One explanation for the more rapid onset is that the vacuum created when you such through a straw reduces the boiling point of alcohol (normally 79 degrees Celsius); alcohol vapours form inside the straw. The vapours are inhaled into the lungs, and the alcohol reaches the blood much faster this way than via great gulps of beer into the stomach. Also, beer sucked through a straw reaches the mouth in thin jets, hitting a greater surface in the oral cavity. This means that more alcohol will evaporate before being swallowed. The palate, which has an ample blood supply, absorbs part of the alcohol vapours. This, too, is a quicker way to get alcohol into the blood and therefore get drunk faster. (Taken from here)

The effect would also be greater in carbonated drinks like beer or champage because the bubbles in them help more of the alcohol vapourise. There is a report here that shows the results of a comparison test between fizzy champagne and flat champagne. The fizzy champagne was absorbed by the test subjects faster, and resulted in a higher BAC consistently when tested over a 40 minute period.

Since the alcohol is absorbed faster, I would think that you would probably feel the stronger effect, but for a shorter period of time, since the alcohol would be processed and eliminated from your body faster as well.

Oooooo! Here's on that I've wanted to know for ages!

Melbourne specific. On the Frankston line, why do the trains always slow down heaps when going through Glenhuntly station? Even the express trains that aren't stopping will slow down just for that section, and then take off again.

Probably only people that have ever caught the Frankston line will know what the hell I'm talking about, but it's really weird! There doesn't seem to be any obvious reason (that I can figure out at least).

Well, two reasons.
A: Their's a Crossing thier &
B: There used to be another line years and years ago that went left instead of towards frankston. Apparently they have to slow down becasue they've still got all the old Direction Changers on the tracks...
 
I think its more the fact that there is a level crossing with tram tracks.
Happens at Glen Iris too (I think its GI anyway). They run off differing voltages (tram - 600v train - 1500v [I think]) which would definitely affect the trains running through the crossing (assuming there is no switching device) and I'd also assume the chances of derailing would be higher at high speeds when crossing the tracks for either tram or train.

Not that there may or may not be an old line and stuff remaining there that could cause the same problem.
 
It's strange though, Because it's going really really slow before the station. And the crossing isn't till AFTER the Station
