0.9 recurring (that is, nines going on forever after the decimal point) does not equal 1. This is impossible, because it's untrue. The to numbers are indeed equal. Yeah. So anyone who posted on that maths thread ages ago and disputed that, I'd like to see you prove your point to a Maths undergraduate. Hah. I bet you can't, can you? ;)
All glory to the Wikipedia!

EDIT: How many scientists does it take to screw in a light-bulb?
0.999 recurring scientists :D

How does gravity work? (NOT meaning "what does it do?")
if you mean what is responsible for gravity: gravitons

if you mean how are we pulled towards something by gravity: it's like being magnetically attracted except instead of having a greater magnetic field strength, the object has a greater mass which gives it a greater gravitational field strength. g=GM/(r^2) where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the object and r^2 is the mean radius of the object squared.
Or in short, it's like a magnet, and blah blah blah (he asked for how it works, not math stating how well it works, no points for over-complicating in an effort to make yourself seem smarter)

It's currently unexplainable, all we know is that it DOES, and it does at a rate of blah blah blah. What he's asking for, (and me for that matter) is an explanation of how object X can pull on object Y with absolutely nothing connecting them in any way.

[edit] Disregard; I overlooked the "Gravitons", although that's hardly an explanation and I still discard your answer.

OT: If you have a gun that shoots bullets at exactly 2000km/h, and you were on a platform moving you exactly 2000km/h, and you fired the gun backwards... What would happen?

What happens when two object going light speed collide?
Nothing only light can move at the speed of light (ironic no?) and light has no mass... it'd pass right through.

This might be a risky one for this thread, but;

Now this question isn't technically impossible but I'll tell you it anyway.

What does zero multiplied by infinity equal?

Actually its the combination of all senses and emotions.

Befor you ask the most obvious one, the meaning to life is 42(hitch hickers guide to the galaxy)come up with one.
'tis in fact 54. Some common sense and observance while reading the series would lead you to this logical conclusion.

explain how you got them going the speed of light first then I will give you an answer
And what those objects are.

OT: How much wood could a coodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
If a woodchuck could chuck wood a woodchuck would chuck all the wood chunks that a woodchuck could.

If johnny has 2 apples a jenny has 5 apples what is mary's birthday?

One Question that will get you guys going is what happens when an Unstoppable Force colides with a Unmovable/Unbreakable Force. Disscus.
The official version is: "What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?". The answer stays the same though:
The unstoppable force bounces off and heads in a new direction, without stopping.

My question:
If a tree falls on a clown alone in a forest, does anybody still laugh?
