The speed of light in a vacuum is actually EXACTLY 299792458m/s.Anarchemitis said:One of the best modern theories of Faster-than-light travel involves making the space-constant ('C', aka the speed of light, 300,000km/s) faster so that the limit of speed allows faster than normal light.
yes they turned it down for 2 reasons, they were making more money sitting at home and there's is still a LOT of bad bloodiamnotincompliance said:At the height of their popularity, ABBA made more money in one year than other Swedish giant Volvo. Or, depending on the source, they were second to Volvo. Either way, that means beating out Saab, Ericsson, Electrolux, IKEA, and other major corporations, and that's damned impressive.
That, and they reportedly turned down $1,000,000,000 to reunite in 2000.

this is true a lot of religions poach stuff from others, there is a lot of similarities in them such as a great civilization or race of advanced ppl before a great catastrophe (the great flood story), from what i've read it's the grove ware ppl and they were brilliant to say the least. whomever they were they happened to put a henge like thing right on the tropic of cancer in egyptKhell_Sennet said:Greek Myth did not rob Egyptian, nor did Roman rob either. There are similarities which suggests many of that era's religions based off an unknown originator, but all these religions developed before contact with eachother. If you study mythology, the god Apollo was also "different"... Not different like Hermaphroditus who had all the genitals of both genders, or Priapus who had a dick measuring between 2 and 3 meters long... Different as in HE did not originate with the other gods, and is an outsider.nilcypher said:I think Egyptian mythology, which personally I think Greek mythology poached liberally from, could give it a run for its money.Khell_Sennet said:Greek mythology pwnz movies for fucked-uppedness.
I don't understand the OP's trivia.. I listen to pretty much only 'underground' or 'rare' music, and I have at least a few albums that would fall under or around 8 seconds. But not only that.....Anarchemitis said:The shortest peice of music known is by Walking Concert titled Run to Be Born. The track is 8 seconds long.
I saw this factoid somewhere else at one point. The same is true for US paper currency as well, but it turns out, not because the money was all used during the handling of drugs (ie, doing lines with a rolled Benjamin). It just so happens that cocaine is very, very small, and any amount that gets on one bill, stuck in a container with other bills, will likely contaminate every other bill. Glorious stuff. Absolutely insidious. Like moon dust.Unknown_Exile said:Traces of cocaine were found on 99% of UK bank notes in a survey in London in 2000.

This is only true in the books by AC Doyle; I believe it was in one of the television series that it was actually said.Unknown_Exile said:Sherlock Holmes never said 'Elementary, my dear Watson.'
