Chocolate-chip cookies have more energy per mass than dynamite, which is only used as an explosive because it releases energy quickly, not because it has a lot.

Oh, and humans and armadillos are the only two species that can contract leprosy.

The sky isn't really blue. The atmosphere just reflect the color most dominant on the planet. Since the planet is largely made of water and that water is blue, the sky is blue. If we were to add colorant to the water, we could have a sky with the color we choose.

Incorrect, The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.

However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.

Hen?....
Well, it was a long time since my last science class (10 years ago)... but you are right. After your reply, i look it up. Kudos to you.

u sure? i thought it was because of blue light's wavelength being the shortest?
Edit: Damn, ninja'd

I have already answer that. But yeah, it right. I though I remembered what the teacher told us 10 years ago. Goes to show, you can always learn something new. Like how freaking old i have become.....

I need to cry now.

It's medical name is 'the taint'. It'ain't the balls, and it'ain't the ass.

A female cat is called a queen and the plural of 'octopus' is 'octopodes', not 'octopii'.

Almost anything you learn in school besides the discipline and work ethic.

Discipline and work ethic? What fancy-arse school did you go to?

And what shitty ass school did you go to? When you leave those are the most important things you should have learned, regardless of subject matter.

Evedently, you have never been to a school in Hull.

Well that explains it.

BBEEENNNNN!!!!! lol

to be honest, most ppl in our school have learned nothing, then they go off and join the army to hopefully die *fingerscrossed* lol

as u may have guessed, i dislike the ppl at my school. or ppl in general lol

If you have 30 people in a room, there's a 50%+ chance that two of those people have the same birthday.

I'm calling bullshit on that one seeing as most my school classes had thirty or so kids and I've never met one person sharing my birthday.

It's not for one particular birthday.
If you asked each of the people in those classes what their birthdays were, two of them would probably have the same. You couldn't pinpoint which of the people's birthdays would be the same.

At least I think it was that... I dunno the details, my maths teacher brought it up on one of those days I wasn't really paying attention.

The 100th digit of Pi is a 9.

That was entirely from memory.
