Some fun facts I picked up somewhere...

- Poor eyesight (myopia) is associated with higher IQ.

- Yawns are more contagious among people with closer relationships.

- In Utah, it is illegal to swear in front of a dead person. (is it?)

- According to a U.K. study, women are better at parking a car than men. (lol, I doubt it :b)

- Bill Gates' house was designed using a Macintosh computer. (Designers and their Mac's... :p)

- And... George Washington grew marijuana in his garden. Yay!

The average human emits approximately 95 watts of energy as heat in the form of infrared light. A standard 100 watt incandescent light bulb emits only about 5% of its energy as visible light, the rest is given off as heat in the form of infrared light. This means the average human produces the same amount of heat as a 100 watt light bulb.

Reason you see a colour of an item is because the item absorbs what you don't see and reflects what you do see.

Black is not a colour it is the absence of colour.

White is all colours except black.

I can confirm 4 and 6 as correct. :yes:

And the first seems surprisingly true to me! May be because they read lots of books, or spend a lot of time on their moniters.

- Harm reduction approach has been more sucessfull then any other methood against drug use.

- Most of recreative drugs do less harm on the body then most legal prescription and non prescription drugs.

My med school facts :b

Oh. Ok you are saying if the weight of a cube of gold with a 20m side didn't exist then you could fit it into a few trailers. Ignoring the weight consideration. I'll be generous and ignore the fact that you said the "resulting mass" of melting it all down then. (Although I am curious what you think mass is if it has nothing to do with weight)

HGV Length = 25m (That is a great big 2 trailer one). HGV height = 4.5m. HGV width = 2.75m

Giving a volume per vehicle of 309.375m3. I'll be generous again and round this up to 320m3

A cube of gold with one side of 20m has a volume 8000m3 (Can you see where this is going yet?)

At 320m3 per vehicle it would take 25 to carry the gold. Still a bit more that what I would call a few.

Although I would have thought that the fact that each of these vehicles will be carrying 6600 tonnes may be worth considering, After all that is one of these (deadweight)

Damn me and my ***ked up logic.

To be honest, at this point, I'm just laughing out loud over the fact that this argument has broken down into semantics over what "a few" consists of, as well as the precise definition of "the resulting mass"*. A couple dozen trailers then, if it makes you feel better. :) Oh, and as for "mass":

http://dictionary.re...com/browse/mass

Mass - noun - a body of coherent matter, usually of indefinite shape and often of considerable size: a mass of dough.

I guess you assumed I was talking about the scientific mass, but that's the wonderful thing about English, huh? It has lots of definitions for even one word, and understanding someone's message often requires a certain degree of benefit of the doubt, as well as a bit of intelligence. I also explained it as "fitting into trailers" which would imply volume. ;)

See? I can split hairs too.

Really cool idea for a thread!

Dividing 1 by 998001 gives every three digit number from 001 to 999 in order.

Dividing 1 by 9801 will give every two digit number from 01 to 99 in order.

Actually it is every number from 000 to 999.

Something you may not know: I actually had a "so-called hacker" try to convince me today that Windows Vista is good for hacking, in fact, better than Linux! This "hacker" is a 45 year old man, who couldn't even integrate drivers into an XP disc using n-lite. Then, he tried to convince me that he could hack my wifi from all the way down the block (which my signal does not reach...he's an idiot!) So there you go: something you did not know! :p

    • I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
