Removed #5 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Instant response - with nothing to back it up - what you're seeing is the air movement caused by the rising air coming off the heater, it's less dense as it rises (warm air expands) so you actually see the motion. Right next to the heater the motion is too quick and it's a constant speed / temperature so it doesn't appear. How's that for completely off the cuff??? << laughing >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stranger Posted November 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Seriously.... what came first? The chicken or the egg? a form of a chicken which produced an egg containing a chicken :eek: thats my guess..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWolf Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Seriously.... what came first? The chicken or the egg? Well... Considering evolution happens on chickens too, the chicken must've been eveolved from something that couldn't lay eggs. Eggs don't evolve, chickens do so my answer would be the chicken Why, in the US, do you call a certain sport 'football' despite that it doesn't involve any balls nor foots?

Mollys Dad Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 1) 3) because the value of the money will go down i believe ooo such fun There was a plot during WWII do drop huge amounts of fake £5 notes over Britain to devalue the £ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eggs don't evolve, chickens do so my answer would be the chicken I would say the egg came first. An egg laying bird evolved almost to the point where we could call it a chicken, changing with each generation until the first thing that can actually be called a chicken hatches, so the egg came first?

Beats me, but they've been called that since Teutonic English ( c 1000ce ) Interestingly enough, the uses to which we put the word "hand" today were as common in Shakespeare's time ( 1600ce ). "To come to hand" and "A hand of cards" for example. (( Oxford English Dictionary )) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From wikipedia: Many mammals and other animals have grasping appendages similar in form to a hand such as paws, claws, and talons, but these are not scientifically considered to be grasping hands. The scientific use of the term hand in this sense to distinguish the terminations of the front paws from the hind ones is an example of anthropomorphism. The only true grasping hands appear in the mammalian order of primates. Hands must also have opposable thumbs, as described later in the text. Humans have two hands located at the distal end of each arm. Apes and monkeys are sometimes described as having four hands, because the toes are long and the hallux is opposable and looks more like a thumb, thus enabling the feet to be used as hands. The word "hand" is sometimes used by evolutionary anatomists to refer to the appendage of digits on the forelimb such as when researching the homology between the three digits of the bird hand and the dinosaur hand.

Elyse Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 I'd like it if they'd print some more and drop the extra into my bank account ..... But that will just lower the value of the money, and add to the inflation problem. Screw printing more money - I want to win the lottery!!

Did you know it costs more money to produce coins than the actual value of the produced coins?

Now that will boggle your mind for a while Yep, that's why Canada is getting rid of the penny. It cost a lot more to produce than they're worth...like in the billions more.

Ron Tao&Sky Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 I think that it pushes the cart, why? Look at it this way . It wears an halter attached to the shafts of the cart and when the horse moves forward it pushes the halter with it's shoulders. Well that's what i assume happens. .............Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next question! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 It's just like with huskies. Huskies are attached to harnesses, which they 'push' on...but the harnesses are attached to the sled (so the harnesses 'pull' on the sled!). But, anyways, the horse pulls the cart (and huskies pull the sled) because the cart/sled are behind them and not in front. Okay, next question: Why can't we sneeze with our eyes open?
