If you took a compass into space, which way would it point?

In the direction of the most powerfull magnetic field.


and the egg was first

 

[DQuaN]

What came first, the chicken or the egg?

Neither. They evolved

what does "FAB" mean in Thunderbirds?

 

[Seanman]

If you tried to fail but succeed, what did you just do?

 

[ferrari_chris]

what does "FAB" mean in Thunderbirds?

I think it's short for "Fabulous"?...

And the egg was first - dinosaurs laid eggs, and that was way before any chicken was seen...

 

[CDailey]

what does "FAB" mean in Thunderbirds?

Absoultely nothing. The creators of Thunderbirds just needed something schnazzy for the characters to say so they thought "FAB."

How old do you hav to be to die old?

They Say Mineral Water Has Been Trickling Down Volcanic Mountains For Thousands Of Years. So Why Does It Have An Expieration Date?

If you take all of the ships out of all of the oceans would the sea level go down?

32 = 32.0000000000000000000000000000000000...infinite 0's...

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Young_Warrior]

If you tried to fail but succeed, what did you just do?

You failed

 

[standard235]

But dividing something by zero isn’t zero. How many zeros can go into 32? An infinate number of zeros can go into 32…

Kinda like you could do 32-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0... and always get 32?

This one is giving me head aches... lol

Yeah. Same concept.

[den brakke]

If today's temperature is 0° Celcius and tomorow it's gona be twice as cold, how cold will it be?

Is there a name for those plastic things at the end of your shoelaces?

stumped

 

[den brakke]

stumped

And the other question? It realy keeps me awake at night.

 

[Danny]

Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist, but a person who drives a race car not called a racist?

 

[gt_masta]

Because this word is already used for something with a totally different meaning.

 

[Danny]

How about Pianoer then?

How come you can be overwhelmed and underwhelmed, but why can't you be simply whelmed?

 

[amp88]

Why are the windows on aeroplane toilets frosted?

Why are there no single word synonyms for the word synonym?

Why is there no other word for a thesaurus?

 

[Electric.......]

Why are there pople who don't have to do anything to be successfull,while others have to work extra hard and still may not succeed?

 

[DJ-CiviC]

If today's temperature is 0° Celcius and tomorow it's gona be twice as cold, how cold will it be?

Is there a name for those plastic things at the end of your shoelaces?

Its never 0.0.. I pretty much think its always 0.x... so 0.x X 2...

 

[Purple Platypus]

Is there a name for those plastic things at the end of your shoelaces?

That would be an Aglet.

You can work your ass off but you also need charm luck and a good personality and If a lazy person has that then well he will have succes in his lazy life.

 

[Blake]

If today's temperature is 0° Celcius and tomorow it's gona be twice as cold, how cold will it be?

It’d be about -137 degrees celcius.

Hint: think Kelvin

Lol or you just know the right people, born into a rich family, incredibly lucky and win the lottery?

Thats how messed up todays world is.

It won't be anything because temperature ratings are sujective:

0 C = 32 F

(2)32F=64F

64F = 17.778C

Yet, (2)0 does not = 17, which obviously is not the correct answer. Therefore, basic math and logic tells us that the temperature is either A) non-existant, B) remains at 0 C, or C) is infinite for whatever astro-physical reason there may be.

 

[ferrari_chris]

I agree with Blake's theory.

 

[Ram-Rod]

If a Ford GT is traveling at 175 mph going from Los Angels to Albuqurque and starts at 7:00, and a Lamborghini Gallardo is traveling at 185 mpg going from Seattle to Albuqurque and starts at 4:00, what time and place will they collide?

I said think Kelvin.

If you don’t understand that hint, think in terms of absolute zero.

It is impossible to tell.

We would need to know the Gallardo's speed, rather than its incredibly low fuel consumption...
