is there anything you ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW?

The quote: "The more thing's change, the more they stay the same". I sorta understand it, but I can't put it into words without sounded like a babbling idiot.

Yeah so true... I thought I had it, but then when I started to type it just came out all "babbled".

Isn't dust made up from a large percentage of dead skin cells?

I suppose a small, clean, bright and tiled room would show the dust up more often...

Especially when everyone is shedding dead skin cells en masse all over the place every time they dry themselves with a towel.

(Just a crazy theory)

^And maybe that you can see it better on a white basin/bath etc than on carpet/couch in teh living room?

Why is there so much dust in my bathroom?

Around 80% of the dust particles you see floating around in the air are dead human skin cells. The average human sheds between 5 and 6 grams of skin a week. It makes sense that a lot of this is going to end up in your bathroom where you shed your clothes and rub yourself down with a towel. plus there is the whole dust showing up more on the shiny surfaces.

Your bed is another place you'd find an awful lot of dust, as well as the natural enemy of dust... the dust mite, whose excretions are a primary cause of allergies and asthma. I'm sure you'd be enthused to know that according to estimates from the Ohio State University, around 10% of a 2 year old pillow is comprised of dead dust mites and their excrement. Sleep tight!

does tapping the top of a can before you open it actually help it stop from exploding?

Yes, although you'll probably find it's more effective to flick the side of the can.

Shaking a can of carbonated drink causes small bubbles of carbon dioxide to line the inside surface of the can. When you open the can and release the pressure inside, these bubbles expand rapidly and look for an escape route (out the top of the can), if there is liquid in the way, then some of it gets forces out too, which makes a mess of your shirt/face/desk. If you flick the side of the can you dislodge the bubbles so the rise to the surface, then when you open the can they can expand and escape easily without causing the liquid inside to fizz up and spray out.

Having said all of that, the most effective way of making the can not explode is just to let it sit for a while after it's been shaken. This gives the carbon dioxide more time to re-dissolve into the liquid. But we don't always have time for that, so tap away.

^^ Screw all you naysayers, none of that information came from google thankyou.

The only bit that wasn't written from memory was the dust stats, and that came from the back of last tuesdays desk calender sheet. No online resources were abused in the provision of this information.

• what that rash is on his penis
  It's all the rage, ask around, everyones getting one.
• how old that girl was
  She swore she was 23, although her braces made it hard to understand her at times.
• why he went away camping with men, but came back with scratch marks on his back and a sore bum
  What goes on tour.....
• my birthdate
  20th of June, 1978
• what colour underwear i am wearing right now
  I can guess what colour stains are on them.
• what the word "zuzel" means.
  You've got me there....

what colour underwear i am wearing
Muzby is wearing Pink & Black frilly knickers, that are crouchless... How do I know? It was our anniversary present i bought him...

 

[joannie_mhm]

Which clearly illustrates the point that when men buy their partners underwear they're really buying it for themselves :D

The quote: "The more thing's change, the more they stay the same". I sorta understand it, but I can't put it into words without sounded like a babbling idiot.

Yeah, hard to put into words. Probably easiest to offer some examples, explain by illustration.
Like, the French Revolution. 1789, the French decide that Royalty and the likes are bad and evil, go on a killing spree for ten years or so and massacre anthing linked to the bourgiousie (sp? its been six years since ive used that word). And they did all of this so that... they could completely and utterly support the creation of an empire ruled by one man. It's not that good a fit -it goes much better for "revolution's inevitably consume their own children"- but still sort of works.
Or, another example, is comparing Feudal Society to todays society. Back then, there's a class system, and if you are born into money you are pretty much set, and the wealth is concentrated at the tip of the social pyramid. Whereas, today, we don't have a class society, we have one where if you are born into money you are pretty much set, and the wealth is concentrated at the extreme tip of the social pyramid.

Bleugh, not a pretty description at all.

is it possible to teach your weak side to operate as well as your strong side. ie if you're right handed is it possible to teach your left hand to write, or throw, or kick the same as your left hand?
