is there anything you ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW?

^ yeah it does seem to make sense, and is what I suspected. Should make myself go to bed earlier. Not working in time with your natural body clock I guess, like when you travel and change time zones it can really mess you up.
And I reckon even trying to adjust you body clock it over time is still almost impossible. I've gotten up real early for many years (and with going to bed early) and it doesn't get much easier or come natural without the use of an alarm.

ok new ponderings.....why do dogs love sticking their head out of the car window to catch the breeze but hate you blowing into their face??
One could argue it's coz blowing into their face in more directed and stronger but the wind can get hit you pretty strong when a car is going fast....
 
I think it's for aromatic purposes. All those lovely smells! I know my old dog Spud would have his head out the window sniffing like Kate Moss at a Coke Farm. Oh and they like barking at passer-byers. :)

I expect there to be a more sciencey answer to this.
Prof. Pop?

haha. oh yeah the smells. And they sometimes keep raising up their noses in different directions which sort of supports this.
With their keen sense of smell it would be a bit of a sensory overload you would imagine.

argh better stop procrastinating and go study :(
 
^ I've also heard that it's for the smells. I remember a quote from somewhere that said something along the lines of the sensory overload being like a rush of drugs for dogs. From what I've read, it's also just because they like the wind blowing on their face.

I imagine the smell factor is why most dogs don't like it when you blow in their face (I can't imagine that human breath smells all that appealing for animals with such a sharp sense of smell. My dog (who now lives 650km away :() seemed to love it when you would blow in his face* and would lick his nose and come closer to you... but then, my dog used to drink beer and bong water, as well as chase imaginary rocks. :\





* OK, that's about as many times as I can type that with a straight face.
 
ROFL at your disclaimer. :D
DISCLAIMERS ROCK!

Can our mouths withstand higher temperatures than our say, hands?
Like when you pick up a mini sausage roll for example, and it's killer hot, and you take a bite - your mouth can withstand the temp, but it gets insanely hot when you hold it.
 
If I can't hold something, then I definitely can't eat it, maybe you've just got a taiwanese mouth.... ;)
 
Yeah I was thinking it's often the other way around, your mouth is more sensitive.

Don't you ever put something in your mouth and it's way too hot and you have to spit it into your hands? You don't then drop it cos it's even hotter in your hands.

In conclusion, xcidium shouldn't post in this thread anymore ;)
 
^ I'm with Xcidium, if something is too hot for my hands (like the sausage roll in question), I can normally put it in my mouth and the most I need to do is just move it around in my mouth to keep it from burning me.
 
Hmmm, maybe I am just unique. Or just retarded. :\

edit: Yay! I'm not alone! I think we are right Pops, we always seem to be*.

You know the pre-paid envelopes that some companies send you if you need to send something back? How are they kept track of? Like what stops me from printing out a scanned image onto an envelope?

*excluding the money - redistributing question. ;)
 
^ They are normally marked "Reply paid #####". As far as I know the number has to match up with the address and recipient, then the cost of the postage is just charged to their account.

So there is nothing to stop you printing (or just handwriting) it onto a different envelope, but it will only work if you are sending stuff to the same address.
 
Usually i put discount vouchers from fast food companies in the pre-paid return to sender envolopes.
Getting rid of junk mail with junk mail

how does a frog's heart continue to beat when taken out of the body and severed from the brain?
Click to expand...
The vertebrate heart is myogenic; that is, the beat originates within the heart without the need for an external stimulus to be delivered by the nervous system or the endocrine system. Although the heart generates its own beat, external agents can alter the rate of the heartbeat and in some cases the strength of the heartbeat. Agents that either increase or decrease the heart rate are called chronotropic agents. Chemicals that alter contractility of cardiac muscle are called inotropic agents.
....
Note further that if you split the heart chambers, each will generate its own beat, at a different rates.

Why does it help to look up at the lights to help a reluctant sneeze arrive?
Click to expand...
It's known as a Photic sneeze reflex, and only affects a percentage of people (estimates vary, but it could be anywhere up to 25% ). It seems to run in families, with about a 50% chance of it being passed on to children of an affected parent. This is also far more prevalent among caucasions than any other race.

The most popular theory is that the signals between your optic nerve and your trigeminal nerve (which goes to the nose) get confused and can cross-fire. When you get a increase in light into your eyes, a signal goes from your eye to your brain to let you know it just got bright, then back again to tell your iris to contract to limit the light intake. In some people this will trigger the sneeze reflex due to the crossing of nerve pathways.

There is another theory that says that bright light causes your eyes to water slightly, which then drains to your nose (the tear ducts are connected to your nose via the nasolacrimal duct) causing irritation that leads to a sneeze. This seems less likely though, since the sneeze seems to occur in less time than it would take for this to happen.
 
Anytime :)

where in canberra / sydney metro area can you get wrigleys doublemint gum?
Click to expand...
According to the Consumer Affairs department of Wrigleys Australia they no longer have have Doublemint as a product. :\

They still sell it in the US (and about 140 other countries apparently) so your best bet would probably be the kind of specialty lolly shop that sells imported sweetness.

Alternatively, you could post these around your neighbourhood.

Why in google image search does a picture come up when you search, but then click on it, it says that the image is no longer there....My question is, how does Google know that it was there if it isn't there?

And another:

What is the strongest material/mineral/substance/whatever (weight to strength ratio) known to man?
