I suggest that there are no such thing as random thoughts since all events in the universe are the determinable result of a previous event. Just a random thought.

Did you know that this smiley existed:

I hardly ever see it used, it's in an odd location relative to other smileys, and it uses a weird keyboard symbol.

I used to have a Playstation that I sprayed metallic blue. It looked awesome.

This thread seems like a good enough excuse to boost my average post per day count, seeing as it's slipped by 0.37% over the last few months. I feel as if I have a obligation to retain the record.

I used to have a Playstation 1

I found out today that there is a museum of toilets.... in Delhi, India. Somehow I'm not surprised.

I once found a Playstation 1 by the curb on garbage day. Sadly, I never knew if it worked, as my friend's mom saw it at his house (I didn't own the necessary cables/controllers/games) and returned it to whence it came - the trash.

What is so odd about either it’s location or it’s symbol?

I'd say that and are used much less often than ...

How did Erno see a connection be tween river rocks and a rubik's cube
I really like pi.
how did humans find out which fruits were not poisonous? trial and error?

The Port Jackson shark looks weird. They were in my dream last night. I must've eaten too much cheese last night...

Well, they're more situationally useful. But isn't located next to other "face" smileys (except vertically).

My dreams are getting stranger...

Dreamed that my brother in law (16 years old) bought 2 hamsters without telling his mum (probably because my wife did this when she was little). His mum found them and roasted them. Gave them to him for his tea. He moaned that his chicken had loads of little bones in it and that his hamsters had escaped.

Here's my most insane dream:

The space apocalypse is happening, and these two guys launch into space before the planet explodes. They have to plant pumpkins to survive (???). But they keep finding planets made of whole wheat flour, which (as everyone knows) can't support pumpkins. Then a deer made of solid ice kills them.

I didn't exaggerate that in any way.

Oh, pirate facebook, I love you.





I wear a fez now. I'm also wearing celery to school tomorrow. Perhaps, soon, an umbrella and a scarf. Should I go for a pocketwatch?

I was thinking about numbers that are both square and cubic, and quickly realized that all 6th powers are square and cubic.
The question is: are there any square cubic numbers that are not 6th powers?

Can't be. That's like asking if there are any numbers divisible by 6 but not by both 2 and 3.

He covets the precious things of the shop.

It is way too hot to sleep. Air conditioner is broken and the repair man decided it might be a good idea to not show up to fix it as he said he would.
I guess I'll be internetting it up through the night.

'stop lights' is such a pessimistic term. From now on I'm calling them 'go lights'

I suppose 'traffic signals' would work, but that just seems like a PC term.

I got asked about traffic lights (as we call them in the UK) when I trained to ride a motorbike.

The instructor asked what the orange light meant. I said "Go!"

He replied "OK Mr Smarty Pants, what does the green light mean then?"

I said "Why are you still here?"

At least you didn't say "traffic lights ensure that the race is fair"

Red: on your marks...
Orange: get set...
Green: go, go, go!

What was that man thinking when he first realised you could milk a cow ?

Why did the Flintstones celebrate Christmas?

Why do kids ask "why?" to every explanation you give to their previous "why?" question?

Dad, why [question]?
Because [explanation]
Why?
Because [explanation]
Why?
Because [explanation]
Why?
...

So I was wondering, what would be the ultimate answer/explanation to any sequence of "why" questions and answers?

And why?

The answer is 42

Why?

42.

Why not?

(That always stops the bug in her tracks-the next line is 'think about the answer i just gave)

And why can't I hit the booze at 9 a.m.? I mean really! It's 5 p.m. somewhere isn't it?

How close to Saturn is its closest set of rings? I tried to look it up but didn't find what I was looking for.

The answer can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rings_of_Saturn

halfway down under tabulated data. The closest ring being the D ring.

Im not sure how accurate the information is coming from Wikipedia but it says that the closest rings are 66,900 from centre, in km(⁴).

The correct answer is "Because".

Why do Asda (US = Walmart) sell own brand fly spray. It doesn't kill flies. It just make your room smell bad.

I can make any room smell bad without using a spray

I just found that my Four Piece Jigsaw makes a great coaster.

If you place your hand flat on a table, palm down, tuck your middle finger under your hand, and then try to raise each of your fingers, you will not be able to raise your ring finger.

That is so bizarre. I thought I'd at least be able to move it up a tiny bit.

AMAZING! I'm seriously only exaggerating a little bit.

I can wiggle my ears.

Similarly, if you place your hands together along the fingertips and tuck in both your middle fingers so that your second bone down is touching, you can lift apart your other fingers except your ring finger.

It is because your ring finger is the least independent moving digit on your hand. In fact, it almost works as a team with your pinky finger. Try to move your ring finger without moving your pinky finger - doesn't work! I'm no doctor, but it has to do with a ligament in your wrist. (That's all I know)

--JC--

I can only lift it when my pinky is lifted.

I can move it on the lower joint but not the higher/both.

I can move both the lower and upper joints without moving my pinky. The lower is easy, but the trick is, you have to have your fingers all extended and lower only your ring finger at the lower joint first, and then at the upper joint.

I've done this trick with people before and they ar always shocked by it. Brilliant one...but...I can still lift my ring finger about 1 cm . Explain that to me please. I know that I shouldn't be able to do so.

And in the spirit of the thread: you can't lick your elbow.

FALSE!

Both me and my sister can lick our own elbows... must be something genetic.

I too have seen it done entirely legitimately. It is possible for some people to lick their elbows.

(Edit: fixed quotation)

Long tongue perhaps? Oh no, I'm not going there.

I once saw a percentage on that. somewhere around 95 percent of people cannot lick their elbows.
