Post some useless trivia.

The molotov Cocktail got its name from soviet incindiary bombs dropped on finland during the winter war. as the soviet minister of foreign affairs Vjatjeslav Michajlovitj Molotov claimed they were simply food rations for starving finns they got the nickname "Molotovs bread baskets"
The Molotov Coctail was a response, as the finns wanted to give the invading soviets "a drink to go with the food"

The swedish Metal band Sabaton mainly known for their songs about modern wars, has won a culture award for "awakening historical interests in people"

and some game trivia.
The Ejection ports for spent shell casings were intentionally left on the wrong side on guns in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R games as the game developers thought it looked cooler.

Thee character Axel From Kingdom Hearts is actually based of the minor character Reno from Final fantasy VII

While on the topic:
The Pilot Character Cid Highwind from the same game is depicted as a chain smoker, but in his appeareance in kingdom hearts he chews a toothpicks, as that game was geared at a lower target audience.

Thorium is a more efficient fuel than that silly silly uranium.

Yes, however to use it, requires a very corrosive salt solution. Nobody has actually yet looked into developing something capable of sustaining that while using it as a power source. Silly scientists!

They find out so much unnecessary crap, too. It's like that Frankie Boyle joke:

"Think we should have a go at curing cancer today?"

"Nah, I'm going to see how many Roundtree's fruit pastels it takes to choke a kestrel!"

The sun's poles are reversed every 11 years.

The Earths poles switch every 500 years or so, and we`re expecting one about now.

...

That would explain the odd weather I've been observing.


OT:Turkeys will look up at rain and drown.

Hi guys, I'd love to see some useless trivia!

Did you know that there is no mathematical function to gain the exact square root of all real numbers?

the glomerulus leaks filtrate into the capsule, where it is sent to the ditial tubule, where the nutrients are leaked into the bloodstream, the rest is sent to the loop of henle where it salinates the medulla of the kidney, then it is sent to the proximial tubule where aldesterone measures salt balance controll, then sent to the collecting ducts, which adh targets to make you retain water and thus have to go pee.
BAM

Yeah but we're doing it anyways.

God is love.
Love is blind.
Ray Charles is blind.
Therefore, Ray Charles is God.

YOU CANNOT DEFEAT MY "LOGIC" WITH YOU WORDS OR YOUR BIGGER WORDS

I don't want to know how they determined that.

FINE, I'll try it.

Megatron is not a duck.
I am not a duck.
Therefor, I am Megatron.

HOLY SHIT IT WORKS.

OT: Also, I leanred that the bible says a marriage should only be considered valid if the wife marries as a virgin, otherwise she should be stoned to death. (Deuteronomy 22:13-21).

...WELL OK THEN!

'The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog' is the only sentence to contain all the letters of the English alphabet

Sorry, but wrong. 'The quick brown fox JUMPS over the lazy dog' works, but even that can't possibly the ONLY sentence with that characteristic.

 

[thedoclc]

'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' is the only sentence to contain all the letters of the English alphabet

The lazy brown dog jumps over the quick fox.

No. It is clearly not. I didn't even have to think about that. Or you could just transpose two letters, dog --> god. That would also work.

Or "The lazy, quick brown fox jumps over the grown bog."
Who said it couldn't be entire nonsense: "The fox jumps over the quick, lazy, brown, and grown bog." Grammatically correct.

Ahem, OT: There is a teaching tool and game called Healing Blade. It is a card game where antibiotics are depicted as fantasy warriors and bacteria as fantasy monsters. Think of it as MtG for microbio and medical students.

Carrots were originally purple. The orange color we're used to seeing now is a genetic mutation.

Same thing with beef. The original cow was called an auroch (sp?) and all other breeds of cattle are offshoots and mutations of auroch.
