    You can tape a small mirror onto a cone speaker, play music and shine a laser on to the mirror and the reflection will look like a laser light show on your wall.

    An apple, potato, and onion all taste the same if you eat them with your nose plugged.

    Actually, to cancel (x-y) you'd have to divide it out.

    That would be a singularity tending to infinity so infinity = infinity (since 2 x infinity is infinity).

    Or, in Excel terms, a #DIV/0 error. ;)

    It looks like a giant parrot and tried to eat my walking boots in 1987. Much more appropriate national bird than the shy and retiring Kiwi.

    If a 12 stone man peed a pint straight forwards while standing on a stationary skateboard (in a vacuum on a frictionless surface), he'd have built up enough speed to get him from Lands End to John O'Groats in about a month.

    Of course, he'd die of dehydration after a few days so I'd imagine having a rotting corpse covered in carrion rolling slowly into Scotland would increase calls for independence.

    The most amazing part is that I bothered to try to calculate this although I did hand my notice in last week and the days are slow.

    Farming began around 10,000 B.C. during the First Agricultural Revolution, when nomadic tribes began to farm. Additionally, this is when the eight so-called “founder crops” of agriculture appeared: 1) emmer wheat, 2) einkorn wheat, 3) hulled barley, 4) peas, 5) lentils, 6) bitter vetch, 7) chick peas, and 8) flax.n

    World's Largest Penis (13.5 inches - 34.2 cm)

    please log in to view this image


    Jonah Falcon, an American actor and writer, has been reported as having the World's Largest Penis with 9.5 inches (24.13 cm) in length when flaccid and 13.5 inches (34.29 cm) when erect.

    Falcon has identified himself as a bisexual and works as a gaming blog editor. He gained media attention after appearing in a 1999 HBO documentary, a Rolling Stone Magazine article, a documentary by UK Channel 4 called "The World's Biggest Penis," and The Daily Show.

    He was offered to enter the pornography industry but refused, saying it would be "just the easy way out... it's not going to help my legit acting career."

    In 2012, he was stopped and frisked by the TSA at the SF Airport due to the large bulge in his pants. After passing through a metal detector and a body scanner, the world's largest dick was selected for additional screening, then finally released. (Source)

    He works as a gaming blog editor, what a cock (crap pun intended<laugh>) with that sort of lethal weapon at his disposal there is very good money to be made in pornography, surely it has to be a better job than writing about playing video games?

    The name for Oz in the "Wizard of Oz" was thought up when the creator, Frank Baum, looked at his filing cabinet and saw A-N, and O-Z; hence the name "OZ".
