[A Random Reader]

"poppycock" means "soft cow droppings"

 

[lenin_117]

a mol of any gas (6.02 x 10(to the 23) particles)

is 22.4 liters in volume

In STP

 

[FactualSquirrel]

the lowest temperature possible is -273 celcius

I'd be more impressed if you can tell me what that is in Farenheit and what the scientific term for it is called.

in farenheit?

-394.6 degrees farenheit. it is known as Absolute Zero.

Oooo, you got the second part right. It's -459 dgrees farenheit.

the lowest temperature possible is -273 celcius

I'd be more impressed if you can tell me what that is in Farenheit and what the scientific term for it is called.

absolute zero and at farenheit it is -459º

Correct. Now just one question: for your internet cookie, raisen or chocolate chip?

Don'e give him a cookie, as Absolute zero has been repeatedly proved to be not the coldest possible temperature. Well, it's by 0.1 of a degree, but that's not the point.

 

[Teh Flembo]

On average baby elephants weigh roughly 16 stone.

I think it's inherently implied that he meant the lowest theoretically possible temperature.

Pugs are the terrible horribly bred genetically terrible creation of humans. They are nature's joke.

Pandas are evolutionary failures.

We learnt about this in school - is it to do with crushing each other when mating or something?

Pandas? They're terrible parents, and they usually only have one kid a time.
They have a carnivore's digestive system but eat mostly bamboo. Because of this their body can't process most of what they eat and thus they have minimal energy to do...well anything. So that's why they spend almost all their time eating bamboo, so they can get what minimal energy they do have.
People try so hard to save them for no bloody reason, they'd go extinct pretty well without human help anyway.

And don't they just plain suck at sex? I heard that zookeepers in China basically tried showing them panda porn so they could figure out what to do.

Well, it's actually been done as well. Although I guess that's not possible naturally.

It is a real ***** to get them to fuck. That is how lazy they are. They have so little energy they will not fuck.
And just to prove how stupid people are, there was an earthquake somewhere (probably china since it involves pandas) and rather then getting everyone out THEY SAVED THE PANDAS FIRST.

They're pretty much the only cool things china has going for it, and the zoos make a heap of money from them since they charge people extra just to see the pandas.

But they're so useless. They are terrible nature.

So are high-heeled shoes.

High heeled shoes don't eat things that they can't process. They eat loafers.

They eat men's bank accounts too.

 

[Eat Uranium]

Absolute Zero (0 Degrees Kelvin)

Called as much because at that temperature, molecular movement and energy is stopped.

Not entirely stopped. Like I said, nothing can be entirly stationary otherwise it doesn't exist. This is why there is zero point energy.

America's national anthem is based on the war of 1812
Some German troops celebrated christmas during WW2 with their enemy inbetween both trenches

Was the Great War actually, in the winter of 1914.

Agathokakalogical means the differences between good and evil.

 

[Dungus]

In the 19th century the British Navy tried to destroy the superstition that Friday was a day of misfortune. They built a ship of which the keel was made on Friday. The ship got the name 'H.M.S. Friday' and the captain was also called Friday. The vessel was sent out on Friday on its first mission.

Nor the ship nor the crew was ever to be seen or heard from again.

I thought the the mythbusters busted that one when the 'trained' goldfish to go through mazes or something. Goldfish are still fucking stupid.

That doesn't change the fact that the 3-second memory is just a silly misinformation. Every time someone posts it, a kitten dies.

I thought that a kitten dies every time you masturbate. Oh well.

 

[Rawker]

A goldfish has a memory span of 3 seconds

False.
