Thanks mate - would you now like to advise how I clear beer from my laptop that just spurted out of my nose when I opened that and laughed!!!

A vacuum does wonders for drying beer out of keyboard, don't ask how I know but there's another fun fact for y'all lol

if anyone knows i would love to find out how to get that beer smell out of my vacuum cleaner . :8

Farts travel at the speed of smell.

Lots of Fart facts can be found here http://www.davidstuff.com/humor/farts.htm, though I may have made up the one about the speed :lol:

considering how far humans have evolved in the last few hundred thousand years , i dont think it will be very long before we attain the ability to teach our farts to drop down to floor level , go across the floor , then float up to fly out the nearest open window.

it will require some subtle tweaks in our DNA but i think it really is do-able

Did you know that if the whole Chinese population walked past you 8 abreast the line would never end due to the reproductive rate.

Seagulls are baby pelicans.

Ha ha good one Reeks , and did you know that willie wagtails are baby magpies?
The reason you never see baby pelicans, (and I will stand corrected if wrong), is that the "more than his belly can" breed and raise their young inland and its only when the young are mature that they head for the coast and take up a life of luxury with free fish guts and handouts from tourists etc

Victorian troopers used to stake out the NSW border to prevent smuggling of NSW goods into Victoria that were subject to duty.

Eg., a packet of matches. 1870s time. Pre-Federation.

False one on the WD40 there, as it's a petroleum based product.

I may be wrong - but I believe WD-40 is essentially fish-oil, which would make the lure fact feasible...

 

[BrisJoe]

That what I believed in at when I was first told about using it for fishing.
Then I looked.into it, you are actually polluting.the water if you use it.

WD-40's formula is a trade secret. The product was not patented in 1953 to avoid disclosing the details of its composition, and now it's too late.[4][7] WD-40's main ingredients, according to U.S. Material Safety Data Sheet information, are:

51% Stoddard solvent (In 1953 this was the predominant cleaning fluid used by dry cleaners.)
25% liquefied petroleum gas (presumably as a propellant; carbon dioxide is now used instead to reduce WD-40's considerable flammability)
15+% mineral oil (light lubricating oil)
10-% inert ingredients
The German version of the mandatory EU safety sheet lists the following safety-relevant ingredients:

6080% heavy naphtha (a petroleum product used e.g. in wick type cigarette lighters), hydrogen treated
15% carbon dioxide
It further lists flammability and effects to the human skin when repeatedly exposed to WD-40 as risks when using WD-40. Nitrile rubber gloves and safety glasses should be used. (Ordinary rubber is ruined by repeated exposure to petroleum products.) Water is unsuitable for extinguishing burning WD-40.

Getting slightly off topic guys... :/

 

[BrisJoe]

Ok back ontopic..

DYK It was called WD40, the WD stands for "Water Dispersant" and the 40, is because it was the guys 40th attempt at the recipe to create a rust proof substance for nuclear missiles

Did you know if there was a "space hwy" you could drive your Datsun 180B to the space stations orbit in under 3 hrs with enough fuel to get back.

I wonder how long it would take in your Nimbus. HA HA HA.

DYK only female mosquitoes bite

Some female spiders kill their man after intercourse. Male spiders are also usually smaller in size than the females.
