Crazy Thoughts

[Zombie_King]

Sometimes I think things I think no one else thinks. I think. Here are some of them:

If you stuck two matches in your nostrils, and you sneezed, would it create a jetstream of flame, like a flamethrower?
I have been told by a relative, who happens to be a doctor, that she thinks the snot would extinguish the flames, not encourage them.

I went to a cemetary yesterday, and saw the huge stone of a relative (gravestone, pervert). I knew the force of a fist wouldn't be enough to break it, and I doubted the force of a small car. So then I thought:
Would the force of a grenade be enough to break a tombstone?
I doubted it would, because I've seen the force of a real grenade, and they're not insanely powerful. Fragmentation grenades have a radius of up to 30 feet (some longer), but that's not the extent of the explosion, that's how far the shrapnel goes.

As you can tell, I'm a violent person.
Soooo, post your crazy thoughts in this thread.

P.S. Not the 'random statement' thread. The thoughts have to make some kind of sense, knowmmsayin'?

P.P.S. This isn't a thread for answering, just questioning, of course, if you had an answer to any of the questions, it'd be wonderful.

EDIT:

If I was in a car...In a tornado....and the tornado subsided, would I survive?

Many things are caught up in a tornado. If animals, other cars, and trees didn't crack the glass and impale you, and the tornado subsided, the car would probably fall hundreds of meters to the ground. If you were able to survive that (which I highly doubt; if you're lucky enough to land a patch of ground w/out anythings else in it, you have to realize seatbelts aren't made to withstand upward crashes, so your skull'd probably shatter on the roof), then you're probably the luckiest man on Earth.

cars generally knock over gravestones, because they're low to the ground, heavy and only held onto the base by two relatively small pins.

A grenade would probably mar the face of the gravestone that was facing the blast, but the force would just wrap around the grave stone not moving it.

Hm...

could you take out a cyborg with an EMP?

or maybe if you made an EMP Flamethrower.....

But how would that work..?

Depends. the mechanical components, certainly, assuming they weren't shielded against that kind of an attack, but the organic bits wouldn't be affected at all. So, it becomes a question of how much of the cyborg is still squishy. If his heart and lungs are still there, then you'd immobilize, but not kill. if either had been replaced, you'd kill him.

I sometimes wonder: why do people INSIST on living in Tornado Alley, despite the name?

I think aliens are human beings from thousands of years in the future, traveling back in time to study us. It's the only rational explanation I can come up with for why they wouldn't invade or make contact. No matter how you shake it, for an alien species to travel all the way here and just take some photos is a bit odd.

The thing is...when I think that, I start wondering what their relationship with the past is at all. Is it like Stapledon and they just relish the experience of their ancestors? Or does it go deeper? What if they're facing some cataclysmic end to the planet, like the sun exploding, and there is nowhere to run? I don't believe in hyperspace or things like that, I'm of the rather negative opinion that we'll never be able to travel outside our galaxy. Do they travel back in time and inhabit our bodies? Do they literally reincarnate themselves over and over, trying to improve the fabric of society, so that one day we can escape our cataclysmic doom?

Couldn't be bothered to move would be my guess. Also its pretty good farmland there from what i hear. What I want to know is why they rebuilt San Fransico right back on the San Andreas (Yes, that is the name) Fault after the Earthquake and Fire?

That's pretty goddamn lazy, considering all their houses have wheels

If you force fed someone iron dietary supplements for like 2 months straight could you then completely own them with a magnet?

because the view from heaven is amazing.



(if you see what i did there)


I often ponder why police stations dont own their own coffee and donut stores to house INSIDE the station for it's officers. I mean, imagine the revenue you'd save if they spend their paychecks on YOUR coffee, etc..


edit: someone suckered me into my first post...oh well I suppose it's all downhill from here.

An astronaut went into one of those revolving pods in order to get himself used to the G-Force. However, it malfunctioned and the Gs went up so high (to a point where the boiling point of water becomes lower than body temperature, it was that high), that he said he 'had the sensation of his saliva evaporating off his tongue'.

How the hell did he know what that felt like before hand?

 

[fix-the-spade]

If I suddenly leapt out of my chair and beat one of my lecturers/fellow students to a bloody pulp. How would I explain my way out it?

Can catch berms be ridden the same way as rail berms, or do you have to apply the catch technique to all of them?

 

[the monopoly guy]

this seems oddly similiar to the random statements thread, without any of the kitty pictures...
does the toaster feel pain?

Couldn't be bothered to move would be my guess.

the number one way to avoid tornados is to not live in trailer parks. God hates trailer parks. When has a tornado NOT hit a trailer park?

 

[smuttbullen]

We're flammable because of the the fat/grease i think. I'm not 100% if anyone else now the answer go easy on me.

 

[Erana]

Am I the only one who has to add five minutes to every treck outdoors because I get excited by the pretty sky?

 

[Crudler]

I often wonder about time travel; My theory is that if you went back in time and changed something it wouldn't matter because you or that is another one of you had already been back and done it! A bit like fix-the-spade but sometimes I just don't hand in my homework or anything like just because I am great at improv lies. (Or am I? ) I often wonder just how we can think or see images in our mind not quite properly but definitely there.

Edit: I forgot to say, I always and I mean always imagine just how much damage a crossbow bolt (or other things but mainly quarrels) would do to something, including people.

 

[LewsTherin]

If the human body is 75% water, why are we so flammable?

Its the fact that most of the water is on the inside. The carbon on the outside burns quite well.

What do the NPC MMORPG quest-givers do with all the mutilated monster bits I give them?

 

[wewontdie11]

I know its not particularly original but I tend to ponder on things such as the philosophical riddle "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?", stuff like that tends to make me go all deep.

Also why does Paris Hilton exist? Don't think the most brilliant minds in the world can answer that one.

 

[ThePoodonkis]

What happens if you get "scared-half-to-death" twice?

What is the difference between a novel and a book?

Where do people in Hell tell other people to go?
