Silenthunter Posted January 11, 2002 Posted January 11, 2002 Originally posted by Eets'chula Did you hear that somewhere or did you try it? Eh he, eh he. No, Eets, I did not try it . I'm not saying it could be done, I just saying that it would be done.
Artoo Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 Man that's some great stuff Rhett! I can just feel my brain absorbing all this useless trivia. I'll be unbeatable at quiz bowl! Also did you know that there was a woman who was asleep in her house and a meteorite crashed through her house and landed right on her stomach! She survived with a mild concussion. Guiness has her listed as the only person evre to survive an extra-planetary collision. I wish I could remember her name. Also a bear fed on honey and grubs is much more tasty than a bear fed on meat. Also there are more than 300 classified species of dinosaur. Just some brain munchies for ya.
Eets Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 One man died in his sleep of methane intake. He had eaten cabbage and beans before he went to bed and had no fan, window, or door open. No circulation at all.
Artoo Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 That's a gas! *sorry for the incredibly bad pun* Did you know that migratory birds actually have 2 different personalities? One for one place and one for another. The memories resurface in there conscious when they get to another place. Scientists did an experiment on some tagged birds to figure this out. They changed one place to look like the other while the birds were away. The birds came back and stayed in entirely different places while in the changed location. Than while they were in the unchanged location. But they always seemed to come back to these places. This is like an entire page of Rhett's useless trivia stuck into one thread. Thanx Rhett! Therewas a question about Turkey at a recent Quiz Bowl practice.
Influenza Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 Artoo - I *seriously* doubt that story about the woman surviving the meteorite crash. Give me a page number in Guiness that I can look it up in; otherwise, I think you've been deceived. Think about it. People die from being struck by pennies released from the tops of skyscrapers. A meteorite, even one with a tiny mass, has an enormous amount of momentum by the time it makes it to the surface. Meteorites regularly destroy houses and cars, even when they're the size of a golf ball. A human being hit by a meteorite would not survive. She'd probably have a nice gaping hole in her chest. Plus, there's one other ambiguous fact... how did she get a concussion if she was hit in the chest? Sorry for being no fun . Another addition: Owls are the only birds who can see the color blue.
hannibalscipio Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 I'm not really convinced of that, you evil disease. But maybe you're right.
Boba Rhett Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 Pennies can't kill people because, 1. high surface/mass ratio 2. As a result, they reach a fairly low terminal velocity. 3. If an object isn't aerodynamically stable, it tumbles. This make's the terminal velocity even lower. They sure would sting but they wouldn't even brake the skin. It's perfectly possible for someone to survive a meteorite impact. Sorry for being fun. btw, 95% of white cats with blue eyes are deaf.
hannibalscipio Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 Suuuuuperdullard, here to seize the day from out of the clutches of those who would make it interesting. Most toilet paper is white If a mouse bites you, it might have rabies Never go outside. It might rain. Stay inside and be a dullard like me..... Sleep is good I'll posting these things as I discover them.....
xwing guy Posted January 13, 2002 Posted January 13, 2002 A penny dropped from the Empire State Building wouldn't kill you I don't think, but I've heard that a peanut will.
Boba Rhett Posted January 13, 2002 Posted January 13, 2002 *points to his last post* So a deranged man could chuck a bag of peanuts over the fence and send dozens of people to their death? "Look out! He's got a nut!" Now a pen, on the other hand, could drive itself into the ground.
Zygomaticus Posted January 13, 2002 Posted January 13, 2002 wow unbelievable im trying it the next time im there.......
Artoo Posted January 13, 2002 Posted January 13, 2002 Maybe a peanut could but I wouldn't be so sure, w/ mass being compared to density. A pen certainly would be able to w/ it's mass, and density. Montpelier is the only state capitol w/o a McDonalds. Gerald Ford is the only president to be appointed. (when nixon resigned and Agnew became president and appointed Gerald Ford V.P. Then Agnew resigned leaving Ford to be President.)
Zygomaticus Posted January 15, 2002 Posted January 15, 2002 i found a sentence with every single alphabet in it. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. what do you think of that;) does anyone know where it is from

Artoo Posted January 15, 2002 Posted January 15, 2002 keep the thread alive! The person's name who invented the first indoor toilet was Thomas J. Crapper. I always liked that one.
