Can one really burn water?

Has anyone ever said to you: “Oh, the kettle just boiled, don’t switch it on again, you’ll burn the water!”? Old wives tail? How does one “burn” H20? Can it be that people lead themselves to believe that boiling the kettle again can give the water a metallic taste?

So, the new planet like earth with a sun, which was discovered? Another satellite which turned around from outer space?

Wed, 07 Dec 2011 09:14:26 +0200

Or for real this time? Do you remember there were a similar scenario a few years ago - with headlines all over. And when push come to shuffle to provide evidence, they had a small article in the centre of the newspapers, indicating it's been a satellite which was sent off, which felt it went too far from earth and then turned around and show us "ourselves" from another angle.

Why do we not get pins and needles in our bums ?

If we put pressure on our legs or arms or fingers or hands etc...we get pins and needles....So why do we not get pins and needles in our bums when we sit on them. Yes, sometimes a bit numb...but never a pins and needles bum.

Who here doesn't believe in Evolution?

Fri, 25 Nov 2011 12:43:15 +0200

Who thinks that the whole idea is stupid? Who believes that evolution is where we come from apes, and then wonder why apes don't evolve into humans? Recently I had to explain evolution to someone, and I did it in the following way, which I hope makes it much clearer to you guys that still have the wrong idea of what it really is. --- Imagine you have a pack of dogs, same species. The pack of dogs split up, with one pack moving to the mountains, while the other moves to marsh lands. Over time, the packs start adapting to their new environments, with the marsh dogs growing wider paws, stockier build, perhaps even with some webbing between the toes, while the mountain dogs grow longer legs and become lighter in build to suit the rocky terrain they live in. As time goes by, they adapt more and more, to such an extent that when you later on take 1 of each pack and compare them, they differ from each other immensely. (different species)

Did all humans originate from apes?

Wed, 23 Nov 2011 09:38:17 +0200

Come to think of it , if humans originated in Africa and black Africans were the first humans while whites and Asians were people who later left and changed color it stands to reason that they never directly originated from apes but from Africans . Africans directly originated from apes and then evolved to form whites and Asians. Now I am wondering how bob and idi Amin. Got their facial bone structure.

What would the repercussions be if Einstein was wrong about “Natures Speed Limit”?

Wed, 23 Nov 2011 08:32:03 +0200

Back in September, scientists found that tiny particles called neutrinos appeared to do just that, defying Einstein's special theory of relativity. It could be a fluke, but now the same experiment has replicated the result. It's not hard proof yet, though; other groups still need to confirm these findings.

If weather is daily and climate change over a longer period, as explained by "SCIENTISTS", why..?

Fri, 18 Nov 2011 12:10:06 +0200

Why do the same "scientists" argue that climate change affects "all human beings" on a daily basis, because that's weather, not climate change, as per their own explanation. So, is there really a difference between weather, climate change, global warming or seasons? Come on guys? And why all the sudden have the term global warming been phased out, unless scientists admin, sort-off, that they were wrong the whole time! Like many other times.

Individual outdoor house or tree lights; solar powered where half the set has halflife protection where apon so shuts down an hour and the other half the same but is less or more sensitive to turning on with it's light censor that turns it on and if your quick; you could make the boxing day your launch day.LOL And each has a magnet to stick to your facia on the house trim and perhaps a swivel out hook/pin for the outdoor tree or wooden house trim. Cheers and hope you make millions.LOL Or create icycles for the indoor tree using reflector grey or silver . And maybe have them tiped with a tiny metal piece so that we could remove them and sort them using a magnet.LOL Or as it downed snow today; I pondered on a driveway extractor idea and came up with a snow vaccum as opposed to the gas snowblower and this could be hung atop like a carwash swivelling and supporting the weight and a fabric lightwieght container looking like a giant barrel could act such as a wet dry vacuum with the

Does this make sense? I remember asking you all if it might be a good idea to tap trees-

Thu, 17 Nov 2011 21:35:34 +0200

and extract their sap for fuel and it seems that Heptane is "TOO" explosive and creates knocking in engines; but if so it would be would meen that we could delay ignition and use less fuel and perhaps having heavier pistons or /and crank or /and torc converter where a shorter ignition drive time of force would mean needing to make use of it by way of followthrough and perhaps maybe shock resistance between the piston and the piston head by way of air shock use with strategic resistanc.

frustrating weight and balance question for Cessna

Wed, 16 Nov 2011 10:47:58 +0200

i dont know where to begin! for some reason i cannot seem to grasp weight and balance calculations, i input empty weight, crew and pax, fuel all converted to lbs, then i know i have to input the arm and times that by the weight to get movement and then divide movement by total weight, but i am working with the graph, and when it comes to working out the load movement on the graph and such i hit a wall. i scroll through the graph and work it down to small load movement amounts that i am sure is off, like for 240lbs of fuel i get a load movement on the graph of 4. i dont understand what centre of gravity 40.50 inches aft datum is! (part of calculation i was given) niether can i find the empty planes moment with this graph, i am so confused and frustrated with myself, as this should be easy enough to do, my instructor has maybe not explained things clearly enough, please can someone help me? i dont understand anything!!!

Why does freshly ground (especially spent) coffee smell like tobacco?

Mon, 14 Nov 2011 13:40:29 +0200

I am talking about high quality Mocha Java and Wiener Mischung. We have Jura coffee machines at work into which you just chuck the beans and press a few buttons for a freshly ground cuppa every time. But when you empty out the tray of spent coffee, it smells like a wet ashtray. Strong, black and unsweetened (almost espresso) it even tastes like a cigarette.

Have you ever been to Sutherland to gaze at the stars? Heavenly Experience.

Mon, 14 Nov 2011 09:35:50 +0200

Astronomy makes SA a world leader - NRF Research Foundation (NRF) has said. "Engineering is never complete. Already with the Salt board partners, we've brought the telescope to this point. The next phase is to say: What do we do over the next 10 years to make sure the facility remains competitive and remains at the cutting edge?" CEO and president of the NRF Dr Albert van Jaarsveld told News24 at the site of the Southern African Large Telescope in Sutherland. The Salt has been re-launched following months of engineering to correct imaging problems of the telescope which is the largest in the southern hemisphere. The site has attracted a range of international experts and observing equipment, but Van Jaarsveld said that continued investment was critical to retaining the competitive edge.http://www.news24.com/SciTech/News/Astronomy-makes-SA-a-world-leader-NRF-20111111 WE ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD.
