If heat cannot travel through a vacuum why does the sun warm the earth?
-
Because the sun emits infared radiation which the Earth absorbs and turns into heat.
IGCSE physics can come in handy!
-
Why do men have nipples?
-
I know this one because I looked it up years ago! ;D
It would seem that no one really knows for sure. However, popular thinking is that in the womb all babies are "built" to a female template. Nipples are created before the sexual organs and so aren't treated as such by the body.
-
Global warming: man made or just happening anyway?
-
Difficult. Hole in ozone totally man made. However, I think global warming is in general a cyclical thing. See ice age. Although it is probably exacerbated by humans, I believe we are a parasitic race.

What do wasps actually DO?
Well I assume they are involved in cross pollination and I imagine they are part of the food chain and without them there would be hundreds of some other vile insect.

What is a boson?
Had to google
Any of a class of particles, such as the photon, pion, or alpha particle, that have zero or integral spin and obey statistical rules permitting any number of identical particles to occupy the same quantum state.
-
What is a boson?
If memory serves me correctly bosons are particles which obey Bose-Einstein statistics; and are named after Satyendra Nath Bose. (I think thats how to spell the name)

What is the degree of genetic difference between different breeds of dogs?

Because Nick is probably of the genus 'people' scared2:
-
What is the degree of genetic difference between different breeds of dogs?
Have you been watching that Martin Clunes? I needed to identify a dog breed the other day... how do I do that?
-
What is the degree of genetic difference between different breeds of dogs?
0.8%, the same degree of genetic difference between humans and primates if I remember by old biology proffessor correctly.

One for me.
They are falling, in a curve due to their forward speed (17,000mph) - it's just that the Earth curves away by the same amount.
-
That's quite lucky rubschin:
Why do scientists wear white coats?

Ok, one for Nick. A subject that he should be an expert on. Explain Chaos Theory. whistle:

If space is a vacuum why don't we get sucked into it? (this one bothers me a lot)

Gravity.

So gravity exactly balance the power of the infinite vacuum. rubschin: That's lucky

YES! Although I would prefer dead goat leg for the whacking if possible. eveilgrin:

You should have asked BM for one before he turfed it over the side of the cliff yesterday. whistle:
-
Why does our hair keep growing, unlike, say, cats whose hair gets to the right length(i.e. one which suits them) and then stops?
-
It doesn't. Cats moult. Their "under fur" is growing all the time but at a certain length it falls out. Human hair, on the other hand, does not moult and replace itself. We go bald.

Not everyone. . .

Everyone to a greater or lesser degree. I am fortunately one of the lesser degree types but it is thinning. whistle:
-
Why do slugs do that when you put salt on them?
-
Because the salt draws the moisture out of the slug and like all living things the slugs need moisture to survive.
-
So why doesn't it work on people?
-
Feed a person enough salt and it will.

Useful to know eveilgrin:
Flying. WHy don't they anaesthetise people before flights? You could get more on a plane, no nasty food to eat, fewer cabin staff and no panic in the event of a crash
-
anaesthetisia is an exact science Nick you have to make sure that you dose the person enough to knock them out without doing them any permanent harm. Simply rolling a cannister of knock out gas may look good in the movies but it isnt accurate as the amount needed to knock out a lard arse could cause serious complications to someone who has been on the size zero diet.
-
But you agree the idea is sound in principle.
-
knock out plane loads of easyjet chavs? could have possibilities, especially if the flight crew bail out over the atlantic... whistle:

Let's press on then.
Why don't humans have tails?

Not needed for gripping or for balance purposes. There are other animals that don't need them either ~ Chimps come to mind.

Let's just establish their sleeping habits first, OK?

If you have a serious question about androids,I suggest you ask the Prof evil:

If they do then do they dream?
and if they do is it of electric sheep?
Surely that's androids?
Surely that would be wormist? Why can't worms dream of electric sheep if they want to?

I think it is because the barbs stop "it" coming out when the female registers her displeasure with the situation.

Would it not be easier for the female cat to have a headache like most females?

Wild boars have a left-hand thread.

I am having a beer in Brum tomorrow with a left handed bisexual.
Anything I should be careful of?

Yes .... sit on the right hand side of your friend so that you don't get beer spilled on you.
-
Yes .... sit on the right hand side of your friend so that you don't get beer spilled on you.
Errrr.. How does that work then?
-
It would be easier for the left handed bi-sexual to stroke Nick's thigh with the right hand as they will have the beer in the left hand. Saves reaching across and risking the beer being spilled on the unfortunate Nick.

The "beer" is strictly metaphorical in my case ( sad24:) but the chappy is an Aussie (with a bit of Norwegian in him)
wait for it!
