swansont Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Glass is not actually solid but is a Thixotropic Liquid. No, I don't think so. We've already had threads on glass being a liquid — it's not.
herpguy Posted February 1, 2006 Author Posted February 1, 2006 There is no a.com. However, there is alpha.com. Alpha is "A" in the Greek alphabet. That's kinda wierd.
clarisse Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 No, I don't think so. We've already had threads on glass being a liquid — it's not. Glasses are neither liquids nor crystallline solids, but supercooled liquids. They appear to be solids but they do not have a distinct boiling point
Connor Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 I've been told glass is an amorphous solid. I guess it's up for debate. There is no b.com. However, there is beta.com. Beta is "B" in the Greek alphabet. That's kinda wierd. I just licked my elbow
Y-S Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 Lol, i'm sure there are some fake facts that have been said in this thread or someone can be probably making it up or guessing and saying it here
Connor Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 it'd be cool if people provided links for their facts
herpguy Posted February 23, 2006 Author Posted February 23, 2006 There is no b.com. However, there is beta.com. Beta is "B" in the Greek alphabet. That's kinda wierd. It was wierd, and kind of funny (at least to me), so I posted it. It's the same for C,D, ane E.
Blunt Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 Well. Shit is one of the only things in the world that contain no energy what so ever. it will take 1.000.000 ants about a months to produce 1 liter of urin there exist about 12.000 difrent kinds of rice a bottle of beer has the exact same height as a building brick 22,8 cm Namu wi-w chip. - thats korean and means "theres a house in the tree. its very small"
swansont Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 Glasses are neither liquids nor crystallline solids, but supercooled liquids. They appear to be solids but they do not have a distinct boiling point But that's not the definition of supercooled. It is, however, descriptive of a (wait for it...) "glass transition." I've been told glass is an amorphous solid. I guess it's up for debate. Yes, it is, and no, not really. But there are other threads already devoted to the topic. If people are interested, they should read those threads and post there.
swansont Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 Shit is one of the only things in the world that contain no energy what so ever. I call BS, as it were, on this. Explain the existence of dung beetles.
aj47 Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 If the whole population of China jumped simultaneously, it would cause a tidal wave that would destroy most of america.
Blunt Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 I call BS, as it were, on this. Explain the existence of dung beetles. yes ok then say human shit... some animals shit have energi in it. like the paradoxurus hermaphroditus its the cat like animal they use for making Kopi Luwak witch is the most expensive coffee in the world for that animal Dung beetles would be able to live from the shit. And if the sites i read about dung beetles are correct then they dont eat shit from all spiecies. actually some dung beetles only eat shit from one spiecies.

Still need a source; I don't find it reasonable that our excrement is all that different from any other mammal. I think human fecal matter gets broken down, and also can be used (and is/was by some human groups) for combustion and fertilizer.

swansont Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 If the whole population of China jumped simultaneously, it would cause a tidal wave that would destroy most of america. Not. A billion 100 kg people jumping off of a 1m chair (or equivalent) is ~1012 joules. This converts to 0.24 kilotons, or about 1% of the Hiroshima bomb that did not destroy most of America, though it did flatten Hiroshima.
EvoN1020v Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 Drinking tea helps your blood circulation, and especially for women, it helps to reduce ovarian cancer.

But i am afraid i have to admit i think it was in Southpark so you can believe or not, but those guys have spoken visely words about excrements.
insane_alien Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 Excrement can burn if you dry it out enough.also what about the bacteria that live on it. they even produce methane out of it.
Mercurial Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 If the whole population of China jumped simultaneously, it would cause a tidal wave that would destroy most of america. Being picky I guess, but wouldn't the wave have to go through Japan first?
Mercurial Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 interesting fact carbocations with adjacent cyclopropyl groups are more stable than carbocations with adjacent phenyl groups despite resonance (From March's Adv. Org. Chem)
Auk Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 If someone was to take all the human intestines (large and small) in the world, strech them and attach them together they would reach the moon and back to form a loop.
JustStuit Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 Celcius originally had the freezing point as 100 and the boiling point as 0 (of water), i.e. it ran "backwards"

gcol Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 THe official meter is marked on a platinum pole and stored in Paris helluva difficult place to park, is there a ladder so you can climb to put your money in? Not a great way to raise municipal revenue.
