The "OFF TOPIC" thread

The aim here is for any subsequent post to be completely off topic from the previous one - the best off topic post of the day will receive a prize from CN :)

No they aren't. Eating meat is affecting people's depth perception making them think small things are getting bigger and - as a side effect - that fixed gear bikes are cool
 
I was wondering how you make a numpty fall out the window... and it just occured to me to phone him up while he is ironing the curtains .... or wait would that make him burn his ear? Now I am really confused :confused:

That was far too on topic for the OFF TOPIC only thread ;)

Well I was using the approved method of stealth off topic(ing). I thought the prize went to the post that got the furthest off topic while pretending to stay on topic so it didn't get deleted.

So anywa, while we are talking about double-glazing - what size carpets should I fit in my backyard?
 
Jesus was an alien and his sandles were how he communicated with the mothership... not many people know that he came back years later as Hitler and ran a chip shop in Harrogate - you may know it - The Burning Bush Cafe.

Oh and by the way the moderation on this forum is disgraceful! If I had my way I'd have all of you shot. You should be ashamed.

Off the top of my off topic head

a little bitty boy
My grandmother bought me
a cute little toy
silver bells
hanging on a string
she told me it was
My DING A LING A LING!"

This week I am eating mainly cheerios :eek:

We should get those cherios tested... Whatever has contaminated the cherios is affecting your thought process. I heard there's a banned chemical in the fertilizer applied by farmers growing the oats that goes into the cherios. This chemical makes the oats grow faster, so by harvest each grain's the size of a Canadian penny. You might want to use that information in your defense.

The underlying fundamental basis of being and the universe? Every time when I approach this question along hermeneutic tangents, I'm tempted to a more direct approximation: to see life and material being as one separated but united -entangled- in the fabric of reality and common, general imagination of a functional process leading to ... what really? I don't know.

Peace

I'm starting to suspect that George Bush may not have been telling us everything, not even everything that he knew.

Oh baby uKnowwhat i like,
Chantilly lace and a pretty face
and a ponytail hanging down
a wiggle in the walk and a gigigle in the talk
makes the world go "round

soft as a baby's bum your majesty he said

A constant force, acting on a particle of mass m, will produce a constant acceleration a. Let us choose the x-axis to be in the common direction of F and a. What is the work done by this force on the particle in causing a displacement x? We have, for constant acceleration, the relations a = ( V - v ) / t and x = ½ ( V + v ) t. Here v is the particle's speed at t = 0 and V is its speed at time t. The the work done is W = F x = m a x = m ( ( V - v ) / t ) ( ½ ( V + v ) ) t = ½ m V² - ½ m v². We call one-half the product of the mass of a body and the square of its speed the kinetic energy of the body. If we represent kinetic energy by the symbol K, then K = ½ m v². We may then state the above equation in this way: The work done by the resultant force acting on a particle is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the particle.
