Pi * 1337% = 42. My mind is blown.

Damn it, is there anything Google can't do?

Gooogle can't experience the human emotion know as "love".

It can. It chooses not to because its search results told it love is a secondhand emotion.

Don't know why, but when I saw the sum I was expecting the answer to be 9001.
So you're saying that the answer to life the universe and everything is actually leet-circles?

Ah, bugger off. I rely on my memory as a way-too-frequent visitor to these forums rather than some silly search bar. I figure if I don't remember seeing it, it didn't happen. Or it happened so long ago that 99% of the posters forgot about it.

Sure as hell won't stop it from enslaving the human race with an iron fist.

Think about this. (nerd science incoming)

All materials condense when they get colder, becoming more dense and sinking. This is especially true when they change state, say from liquid to solid.

EXCEPT WATER! Ice is the ONLY thing that actually expands and floats when it freezes.

The really freaky part? If this wasn't true then life as we know it would not exist! (water frozen in winter would sink and not be thawed by the summer sun, eventually causing all water to freeze)

So just remember: you wouldn't be alive except for one tiny little middle finger to thermal dynamics.

Water expands only once it starts to solidify, and can be kept a liquid far below it's freezing point if there is not a spot where the formation of the crystalline structure can begin to form. See one of the many videos of water snap freezing on YouTube. There are forms of ice that do not expand the normal 9% you see in your freezer as well. Ice can form with pressure. It's not the only thing that expands when it freezes either. Gallium, Bismuth, Antimony, and Silicon also expand when they freeze.

It is true that if ice sank in water rather then floating life as we know it wouldn't exist.

Water expands only once it starts to solidify, and can be kept a liquid far below it's freezing point if it is not allowed to expand. There are forms of ice that do not expand the normal 9% you see in your freezer as well. Ice can form with pressure. It's not the only thing that expands when it freezes either. Gallium, Bismuth, Antimony, and Silicon also expand when they freeze.

Also we should be keen to remember that its not just water freezing but theres air inside it aswell, or thats how i think it works

But what about wood...or witches, who are made of wood? How would we know who to burn?

I have nothing to say, so I'm going to leave you all with this:

[Crazy_Bird]

Zero to the zero power = 1.

O SHI, what have I done?!

Except it's 0. I got confused in calc one day and checked it out and the exponent rules say if n=/= n^0 =1

Actually it can be both.

n^0=1 but if you multiply anything with 0 it becomes 0. So there are two contradicting rules. Which one is stronger.

Mathematicians prefer one method while computer engineers usually prefer the other choice.

And if you times 42 by 69, you get 2012.
Nah, not really.

There are dissolved gases in water, but there is no "air" in water. Dissolved gases can become trapped in ice as water freezes, but they don't make up a significant portion of the ice.

But what about wood...or witches, who are made of wood? How would we know who to burn?

We will just have to burn everyone. To be absolutely sure of course.

Oh yeah, On Topic ness for others.

.999... = 1

Seriously, no funky math there. .9 to infinity = 1

Look at it this way.

2/3 = .666...
1/3 = .333...

1/3 + 2/3 = 1
.333... + .666... = .999..

Or:

1/9 = .111...
9x1/9 = 1
9x.111... = .999...

Have fun with that everyone.

If you make a tunnel through the earth, going though the center, and jump...
It would take 42 minutes for you to Reach the other side, if the only forced used it gravity... Aaaaand if you are in vacuum...

but if you jumped to the other side wouldnt you just fall strait back though and then keep falling infinitly back and forth thinking about this just made the back of my head explode
