Natural animal explosions can occur for a variety of reasons. On 2004, a buildup of gas inside a decomposing sperm whale, measuring 17 meters (56 ft.) long and weighing 50 tons, caused it to burst in Taiwan. The explosion was reported to have splattered blood and whale entrails over surrounding shop-fronts, bystanders, and cars.

Guess who sang the song Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas first.
It was Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz...and she is pretty hot when she gets older.
Totally blew my mind when I saw her in the movie and then a picture of her later in her life.

It's possible for a human to survive unprotected in the vacuum of space for up to around 2 minutes. You don't lose much heat because there's nothing for it to conduct to and the body is tough enough not to immediately die from the pressure difference.
After about 30 seconds, however, the blood vessels in your skin will begin to burst, and of course you'll asphyxiate. You'll also get extremely bad sunburn if you're anywhere near a star.

OT: Shouting your question with the preface "Gun to your head..." while pointing your index finger and your middle finger at someone's head in the shape of a gun is an appropriate way to get their true answer and, occasionally, a fist to the face.
You may leave someone within the first 5 minutes (300 seconds, act fast) of any date for whatever reason, you simply say "I'm going to have to Lemon Law" and leave. The Lemon Law, it's a thing.
I am better than every single one of you and everyone you know and love by several country miles.

It would still be murder (as murder is a common law offence) and it would also be an offence under the human rights act 1998.
So its not legal, not in the slightest.

The legal definition of theft in the UK (Section's 1-7 of the Theft Act) is:
'To dishonestly appropriate property belonging to another with the intent to permanently deprive the other of it'[/I]
Its split into sections, 'Dishonest, Appropriate, Property belonging to another, with intent to permanently deprive', and without all those criteria filled, it's not theft.
And no, Its not a legal defence to say 'Id've given it back'.
Then why is my belly button lint always the color of my shirt? It was especially strange when I would pull out green lint accumulated from the uniform of the restaurant where I had worked from 2005-2010.feebstalicious93 said:
OT: The words silver and purple, while often cited as English words with no perfect rhyme, do actually have rhymes. Silver rhymes with chilver which is a term for a female lamb, and purple has two rhymes: curple, a Scottish corruption meaning the hindquarters of a horse, and hirple, which refers to any walk with a limp.
Another likely answer to the question of rhymeless words, orange, has two perfect rhymes in the proper nouns Blorenge, referring to a hill in Wales, and Gorringe, a British surname; though most would say citing proper nouns as "cheating."
Month, the last of the four most commonly cited unrhymable words, has only the archaic uneath (also unneth) as a perfect rhyme. Humorist W.S Gilbert also cited the word millionth, treated as a three-syllable word (i.e. mill-ee-unth) as the best rhyme for month, stating "I have the authority of the greatest poets in the English language for treating it as a tri-syllable, if I feel disposed to do so."
I hope this source is solid enough to prove it's true. If not, I don't know what will.mbug said:

A spacecraft in orbit nor do its astronauts experience "zero-g". The feeling of zero-g is weightlessness. Any time you fall, you experience weightlessness as the push of ground up against you is disregarded for your brief plummet. Weightlessness in a vehicle is simply when you are falling with it, so it appears stationary to you.

Die Hard is based off of a novel called Nothing Ever Changes that is a sequel to a previous book called The Detective. The Detective was adapted into a film of the same name in 1968, starring Frank Sinatra. The characters' names in Die Hard were changed for it to be a standalone movie, but in a roundabout way, Frank Sinatra is the original John McClane.
