The energy output of the sun is ~383 yottawatts, or 383,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 watts, that's three hundred and eighty septillion watts to you and me.

I never said that it was a derogitory term, I said that it was used during WWI instead of german shepard because people didn't want to be associated with the germans. really its a case of which term has been around for longer and which term was used because of a patriotism than a simple to-may-toe/to-mah-toe
However, WWII is not over. Meaning that people are free to call the creed whatever they wish making it less of a patriotic conjuncture now and more of semantics.

The sun is roughly 93 million miles from the Earth. I read that out of my 7th grade science book and haven't forgotten it since. It was one of the million dollar questions on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire

Apparently Mountain Dew reduces sperm count, funny considering its the gamer's drink of choice. Oh, and the largest denomination of money in Zimbabwe is 1 septillion and the inflation rate is over 231 mil% and increases every month.

Seeing how the "mountain dew gamer" is the loneliest virgin on the planet, somehow I don't think it matters.

Our sun is made up of 99.8% of the collapsing cloud of gas and dust that formed our solar system. All other planets, moons, asteroids, meteors and material is leftover from that 0.2% remainder ;)

Also, the sun radiates away 4 Million Tonnes of mass every second.

The "fingers circle" gesture is a British sign for "OK",but in Brazil and Germany, the gesture is considered vulgar or obscene. The gesture is also considered impolite in Greece and Russia, while in Japan it means "money". In Southern France, it signifies "worthless" or "zero".

Or so I read.

Well In England, And else where in the United Kingdom we did have a lot off stupid laws. but some off them still are 'legal'

It is illegal to be drunk on Licensed Premises (in a pub or bar).

If a steam locomotive is driven on roads, a man must walk in front of the vehicle with a red flag during the day and a red lantern at night to warn passers-by. (True and Still Stands)

It is legal for a male to urinate in public, as long it is on the rear wheel of his motor vehicle and his right hand is on the vehicle. (Aparntly Still legal)

Chester:
You can only shoot a Welsh person with a bow and arrow inside the city walls and after midnight.

Hereford :
You may not shoot a Welsh person on Sunday with a longbow in the Cathedral Close
