gghc87 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Only 3% water of the earth is fresh, rest 97% salted. Of that 3%, over 2% is frozen in ice sheets and glaciers. Means less than 1% fresh water is found in lakes, rivers and underground. Quote Cliff Men marry women with the hope they will never change. Women marry men with the hope they will change.

gghc87 Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Atomic bombs do not rely on gas to cause the explosion....imagine the BILL!!!! true, but they do require a detonator to force the reaction which is normally some kind of high explosive. So it would have to be a very large bomb to house enough gas to do the job. Quote Cliff Men marry women with the hope they will never change. Women marry men with the hope they will change.

ramjet Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 That's just silly. It's like saying you can't knee yourself in the back or you can't bend your toes back to touch your knees or you can't see your left eye with your right eye. I've never understood that one.

Kimbers Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Your mind can only do circa 5 things consciously. Everything else is subconscious. For example, you couldn't feel your feet inside your socks and shoes until I just mentioned it and your brain was prompted by you reading this to bring it into the conscious. Likewise driving is by necessity subconscious. Can you imagine what a mess the roads would be if everyone was thinking? (okay...put my hand on the gearlever, put foot on clutch and lift my other foot off the accelerator...now, move the lever into the next gear.....now lift off the clutch while simultaniously putting my foot on the accelerator).

USAndretti42 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 You can't lick your own elbow! But some people can. A women in the audience of QI did it in one show! Useless fact:- The chief engineer and Lotus Renault GP and the chief engineer at Team Lotus worked together at Tyrrell. However, the chief engineer at Lotus Renault GP, after leaving college, worked at Team Lotus at Ketteringham Hall under Colin Chapman. Useless fact:- Pigeons can't watch TV. The picture moves too slowly for their eyes.
