you brought it home with you because you couldnt find it?

felt like i should contribute for once: I went into the woods and got it. I sat down to seek it. I brought it home with me because I couldn't find it. What is it?

[hide] his horses name is friday[/hide]

explanation [hide] his 3 daughters ages multiply to be 36. that means they are some combination of the numbers 2,2,3, and 3. this gives us the following (3 daughters, which means two of the numbers need to be multiplied together): 9,2,2 3,6,2 and 3,3,4. the other thing to bear in mind, is he could have a one year old, which wouldnt effect the product of 36. this means we can add the following: 1,18,2, 1,9,4 1,6,6 1,3,12. the fact that it totals his house number seems worthless, since we dont know what his house number is, but its actually not. we know that his house number wasnt enough info, which means two of the sets of numbers totalled his house number. 9+2+2= 13 3+6+2= 11 3+3+4= 10 1+18+2= 21 1+9+4= 14 1+6+6=13 1+3+12= 16 so the two possible number sets are: 1+6+6=13 and 9+2+2= 13 he tells us that his oldest daughter has blue eyes. technically two babies cant be born at the same time which means that both scenarios include a single child who is the oldest, but for the sake of a riddle we assume that this is a useful clue, which means they must be referring to the group that has a single oldest child, not two oldest children: 9, 2, 2.[/hide]

forgot hide tags first time : P

[hide] ages 9, 2, and 2[/hide] do i need to explain? do i need to stop posting answers when i dont have more riddles? : P

[hide]sounds like rock[/hide] but im not sure.

very briefly , 120mph. (relative to the ground) after that the air resistance is gonna slow it down.

the kind of person you dont want to be sharing germs with.... just think where else such a moron might have put his hands.

the jugs at restraunts with the spout formed into it. any waiter worth his tip knows that you have to pour it over the side to give the person any ice at all. edit: i really do know how to spell pour, i swear.

whats the reasoning that justifies making a thread entirely about insulting people?

yeah... sounds like a pipe for a french drain. 4" diameter pipe with a bunch of half inch holes in a line on what is going to be the bottom of the pipe. why on earth would you use that for the combustion chamber? so you get a bunch of little flamethrowers and lose a bunch of your power? you dont really need to worry much about an explosion with a gas spud gun. the only thing holding the pressure in is the potato, so as soon as the pressure is great enough to move the spud it starts to let some of it off. its the pneumatic ones where you have to worry about it blowing up because you decide when there is enough pressure. until you let it loose the pressure is completely contained behind the valve, it doesnt get released when it gets to high.

i think your talking about those drain pipes with holes at the bottom, right? why would those be ideal? the problem is with building it so it gives reasonable coverage by surrounding the inner chamber, but still allowing access to the bike valve you fill it from. i dont know of a way to do that.

interesting idea.... good luck building it though. ive heard all sorts of suggestions, including wrapping it in something like duct tape just to try to hold the pieces together, like putting masking tape on windows in a hurricane... both strike me as being pretty hopeless.

some places say not to use ABS because its softer. but one of the side effects of it being softer is that when it breaks it rips like a paper bag. when PVC breaks its more like a grenade, EI lots of shrapnel and the like, almost gauranteed to ruin your day. i personally would rather have my gun rupture than explode.

maybe... but if your careful you shouldnt be in much danger. stay within the recommended pressure, use ABS instead of PVC. make sure all your seals are tight. not too much to worry about.

the lighters where you push the button and it makes an electric spark. any bbq store and probably most hardware stores.

45 secs... any idea what psi? we were always told not to excede 40, but being the boys that we were we maxed out around 70.

unfortunately i dont currently have ANY spud gun. it was a joint venture and my brother sold it to one of his friends : P what i did have was very basic. compression chamber with a bike valve at one end and a water valve at the other. turn the handle and the potato goes. in my experience, that design could launch it a couple hundred yards. the gas one ive used could only ever get it 50-100. the other thing is my pneumatic model was very basic, the u shaped ones you mention (with the diaphram instead of a valve) can go much farther. theres not much you can do to improve a gas one. pretty much the only thing you can do is get the chamber the right size and find the right fuel.

i personally prefer being able to blast the thing twice as far over some pretty flames, but yes, i understand the little boy fun factor.

harddrives have limited lifespans. it does depend on several things, including how much use it gets and what quality you bought, but in general 10 years is the most you should expect. for a computer thats being used several hours a day and wasnt the best quality to start out with (like the ones in my class) the 2-4 years we managed to get out of them was about as much as we could hope for. 5 years is more like an average.

not really far fetched at all. it depends how old the harddrive is. if its about 5 years old, yeah, you should expect it to die. we got that message all the time in my programming class. it usually means you need a new one.

WHERE do people hear that combustion models are more powerful? are you just guessing, since fiery explosions seem like they would be stronger? everything i have ever used, seen, been told, or otherwise witnessed (everywhere but on this website) says that compressed air will get you much better performance than the gas powered ones. anyone have some source that says gas is better? because when we were researching it, every spudgun site we found said compressed air goes farther.
