is there anything you ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW?

not always, i just now wondered what the difference is between album of the year and record of the year in the grammys
 
Like the grammys are a legitimate award anyway.

Why was Double the Fist not recomissioned by the ABC?
 
Do ants sleep? I could look it up myself but laziness is paramount at the moment.

Signat :D
 
Is it true your hair/fingernails continue growing after you die? If so, why and how long for?
 
^^^ *EDIT* you beat me to it ;)

It is a myth that fingernails and hair continue to grow after death. What really happens is that the skin may retract around them, making the hair and nails prickle up and jut out more prominently. Erich Maria Remarque, in his novel All Quiet on the Western Front, imagines a dead friend's nails growing in weird, subterranean corkscrews after his burial. It is a powerful, disturbing image, but it is pure moonshine. No such thing occurs.

Does drinking Milk/Oil/whatever before a big night out, line the stomach so you can drink more alcohol?
 
how do those tin can walkie talkies you make when you are a kid work? My mobile phone is dying and i cant afford another one :(
 
^^ When you pull the string tight and speak into one can, the vibrations caused by the sound of your voice travel through the tin and down the string where they are made audible again by the acoustics of the tin can at the other end.

They only work with a the string pulled tight and not touching anything else, so there's no going around corners, and you need to be wary of people touching the string as this causes 'network interference'. ;)

Having food or something in your stomach will absorb some of the alcohol, or at least keep your stomach busy enough to slow down the rate of absorbtion into the bloodstream.

You will still eventually get all the alcohol into you, it just takes longer, so you are less likely to be put on your arse by a rapid rise in BAC (but what fun would that be?). The end result is that you will most likely have longer staying power for your drinking binge, but remember, "Eating's Cheating". ;)
 
This isn't really something I've been yearing to know, I just didnt' know where else to put it- does anyone know if the Scanning Code of Practice they have in supermarkets applies to bottle shops as well?
 
ok, this is not urgent per se, but air conditioning in your car eats up petrol, yes?

does this mean if you have it on 4 rather than 1 (higher rather than lower) that it will eat up a lot more petrol, or is it much of a muchness if it's turned on at all?

:)
 
I'm not sure if fan controls and AC have any connection. As I understand it, the AC only cools one amount of air, it's just a matter of how fast the air is moving, ie: fan speed.

Not sure about petrol though, but looking at the weather we've had in the last week and how many k's I've done and the amount of petrol I have left, signs point to yes, it chews through the petrol.
 
Joannie: The scanning code of practice covers supermarkets and food stores. it says nothing about bottle shops, although if they are linked (liquorland to coles, Macs Liquor to Woolworths etc) then they may use it.

As far as I know, there is no governing body making anyone subscribe to the code of practice. It's adopted by supermarkets of their own free will in order to reassure customers.

You can read more about the scanning code of practice here.

Miss Poppins: The airconditioner in your car puts extra drag on the engine when it's switched on, so yes it uses more fuel. The air-con compresssor bolts on to the side of the engine and is run by a fan belt that loops around everything else that your engine powers (like the fan). When it's switched off, the drive wheel at the front just spins with no (well.... very little) drag put on the engine, but when you switch it on, the extra work the engine has to do starts to cost you fuel.

How fast the fan is going however, makes no difference. If you had the A/C on with the fan off (not that you can, almost all cars are wired to only power A/C if the fan is on), then you would still be chewing more fuel, without any of the chilly goodness.
