is there anything you ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW?

why do people at the ballot centre supply you with pencils and not pens when voting? Always makes me sus when i vote. They always have the pencils out. It makes me wonder if my vote is gunna count.
 
I would like to know why half of Australia is so stupid.

Oh I just realised. They probably went to school during the period of time Howard was giving all the money to private schools...

What would happen if you never shampooed your hair, only conditioned it??

It would go dry as all buggery. Since the shampoo strips all the oils that make your hair all shiney and managable. So they you condition it to replace the lost moisture.

As for the pencils, easy one. They would use an automated counting machine that would detect the carbon lines. And they machines are probably out dated and very old and thats why they don't use a photosenor which could also pick up pen marks. Either that or they are supporting the forrestry industry.
 
Conditioning is not a step you want to skip. It adds protection to your hair by coating each strand against wear and tear and offers added shine as well. By coating each strand, it offers easier detangling which will prevent your hair from breaking at this critical time.

Not to mention giving it extra body and bounce to make it look like your've just stepped out of a salon!
 
No no, I understand that. Wasn't the question "what would happen if you only conditioned, never shampooed?" Would it get really oily, or just uber shiny?
 
regarding backward playing songs

A few Venom songs do + I think the start of Slayer's Haunting the Chapel played backwards says "JOIN US, JOIN US". I'm not 100% sure now but also some Bathory songs might have. These were all released during the 80s. It's fairly obvious that it's lyrics(+music) backwards when listening to it normally. I used to have a turntable that you could switch off the belt and I used to do scratching and backwards playing during the mid 80s. heh

Theres probabaly a ton in the black metal genre and some in death metal \m/


I don't have time to actually chase up the song names I'm getting ready for work, just eating breakky at moment



*edit* Also I took interest in the James Vance case (him and a mate tried to kill themselves after several hours of weed smoking + drinking with shotguns. One guy succeeded and James Vance didn't. Surgery left him with literally half a face and they tried to sue Judas Priest cause the subliminal words "DO IT" made them "DO IT" but Judas Priest showed obviously it was in relation to sex "DO IT, GET HER" or whatever. That highlighted a few examples of things played backwards and you could hear stuff. One was a speech from Bob Hawke (I think) that when played backwards you could kind of make out "I used to smoke the best marijuana")

Ah, the 80s. Metal time for moi! \m/

Ok this is a wierd one, but anyway...

You know how if lightning hit's the the tv aerial, you tv and neigbouring appliances all go up in one big pop right? Well someone was telling me that with telephone cables these days, they simply tie a knot in the telephone cable to stop the telephones/modems from blowing up when hit by lightning. He said that whenever lightning strikes down the knotted cable it acts as a fuse at the points where it was knotted.

I don't get this one bit. If a spark has managed to jump 10,000 feet into the cabling of your house, why would not coniune on down the cable... surely a couple of tiny knots wouldn't present a barrier?!?

Both responses list coiled cords as an example, and how they have lower ratings when wound up then when unwound. This is not due to magnetic induction from the coil, but rather due to the concentrated heating caused by *resistive losses* in the wire, which produce a higher temperature rise when the cable is coiled due to reduced cooling.

At 60 Hz line current, a knot is not going to cause any problems from magnetic induction, and there won't be heating issues since there isn't enough wire in a single knot to make a big difference. A knot will also not effect an audio amplifier's "sound". Any DC-output power supply, such as those used in audio amplifiers, will have capacitors to deal with large surges in current demand and will not be affected by a minute amount of inductance added to the power cord.

Much better than a knot in the cord is to wind several coils of the cord on a piece of iron pipe. The iron pipe serves as a magnetic core which results in an inductor of higher value and is far more effective at stopping large transients (such as those caused by nearby lightning strikes) than a simple knot would be."
