Hey, leave the little guys alone. Seriously they have poison barbs. You don't want to fuck with them.

Silence, you great grandmother was probably a harlot.

Besides, what kind of landscape is this?

Nothing compared to Uluru (still Ayer's Rock to me). Seriously, we advertise it as the biggest rock in the world. You cannot shame us.

My country has the world's largest city and our total population is less then that of Chicago.

I live on the coast. All sun and surf here. Pity I don't surf.

This thread is very interesting I will have to contribute...

Penguins test the water for predators(sealions and such) by crowding around the edge until a penguin falls in. then they watch to see if that penguin surfaces again.

 

[Najal]

on topic, If you spelled out all the numbers and tried to find the letter 'A' you wouldn't come across it until you reached a thousand.

what about one hundred AND one? unless youre doing it the america way and say one hundred one....

Jupiter emits more energy than it receives.

No offense, but thats physically impossible.

Is it? surely it's total energy would just be getting lower and lower? Or am I missing something really obvious here?

 

[dekkarax]

Staedtler pencils are black and red because they were big sponsors on the National Socialist (Nazi) Party in Germany in the 1930s (the Nazi's colours being red and black).

really? they are yellow and black where I come from.

I believe jamiemac is correct. If Jupiter were reflecting nearly all of the energy it recieved, as well as giving off energy from the planet itself, it could technically be considered as emitting more energy than it recieves.

the platypus's poison is the only poison that attacks nerves to cause immense pain, but not death.
and I know pica was more then just paper but I couldnt think of the rest of the things
Australia was once home to a giant moniter lizard the size of a bus
wombats were once the size of cows
the tazmanian tiger will giver birth to as many as...more then 10 young I can't remember but it only has 4(?) teets so the newborn babies race to their mothers teats, those who win will be raised, all the others will die
there was once a lemur in madagascar the size of a gorilla
there was once a tortaise in madagascar the size of a car
ben stiller still isn't funny

The trouble is that glass doesn't just exist as an amorphous solid. It can be an amorphous liquid, too, and the glass transition phase isn't properly considered to be either of those. To further complicate matters, at least when it comes to "glass glass" the transition phase is not clearly defined and is dependent on physical factors outside the material in question.

any matter won't always be in one state, look at water it's both a solid and a liquid and goes thru that change a lot, i guess by your logic we can't classify water as a solid or a liquid

Rainbows are invisible from behind.

Vegatarian is derived from an ancient Native American word meaning "Lousy Hunter".

(One of the above may not be true)

actually only you can see the rainbow you are seeing, everyone else who sees the rainbow sees a different one even if it looks similar to the one you are seeing, it's not

Not entirely true, as according to Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) empty space has energy (and therefore mass) and as such is not actually empty...

It is only because water's triple point (the point in pressure/temperature space where all three forms g/l/s can co-exist) is at amospheric pressure and 273.16K (0.01 degrees C) that we can easily change between the three phases... Water actually has many well-defined phases, unlike glass, where they are very similar (more alike in fact to some sort of 'supercritical fluid', which is a liquid/gas composition where the two phases are actually equivalent).

Oh, and as an interesting fact, supercritical CO2 is used to decaffeinate coffee...

I didn't want to bring in Ether or Dark Matter as well.

1: You cannot touch all of your teeth with your tongue
2: All idiots, after reading the first truth, try it
3: The first truth is a lie
4: You're smiling now because you're an idiot
5: You'll forward this to another idiot
6: There's still a stupid smile on your face


Meh. I have useless information but not trivia I'm afraid.

 

[rosalilith]

I'm not smiling, even though I did try that, although probably because I currently have a retainer in which hurts my teeth and tounge
