Shoogle!

7 Aug 2013

As resurrecting old threads is so popular with some people (and i don't have the imagination to invent a new one ;-)) i'm reviving an old SH idea- as i can't be arsed to find the original. :grin:
Shoogle! its like Google but its powered by the collective knowledge and general smartarsedness (real word) of the SH forum users. So how does it work?
You can ask the SH massive a question and they in return answer it for you to the best of their knowledge- however right or very, very wrong it might be.
You are not allowed to do any research to make yourself look clever- you just pick a question you think you can answer and post your response, without leaving the SH forum........and please play nice people- anyone being bitchy has to be Wideboys seat after he's come home from work, hot and sweaty and got himself naked :scared:
So, Dammies law dictates i start. I'd like to know.....
1. How do they make perfectly round ball bearings? blink

2. Are we also simultaneously dead and alive from the perspective of schrodinger's cat? :shock:
3. Where exactly is Nolaville, is it a nice place to visit and what amenities are available to keep visitors entertained? :rascal:

1. They feed appropriate semi-liquid metals to genetically engineered rabbits, and they poo them out.
2. Not unless you happen to be locked in a box, with a vial of poison
3. I will have to admit I don't know. I'm shit with locations outside of my local area.
My question ---
Would it be possible to breed a Griffin, if one could secure an eagle egg and some lion semen?
(Yes I am watching Big Bang Theory :-))

3. Nolaville :inlove:
It's a state of mind. :twisted:
And there are several things to keep visitors entertained :rascal:
"In Nolaville you could almost see other dimensions. There's only one day at a time here, then it's tonight and then tomorrow will be today again."
“Don't you just love those long rainy afternoons in Nolaville when an hour isn't just an hour - but a little piece of eternity dropped into your hands - and who knows what to do with it?”

Just wondering

1. How do they make perfectly round ball bearings?

If I recall correctly, the explanation I watched on "How it's made" is that the metal balls are made from cut pieces of metal. Those pieces are put into a machine that forces the metal into the correct shape. Another machine takes the "flash" (the bits of metal that remain) away and forces any that the previous machine has missed. They are then hardened through heating them and the process is repeated as necessary until they are the correct size. The bearings are heated to make the metal stronger. However, when metal is heated is changes shape, hence the need to repeat the process.

I don't have a cat, but most don't care in either case, unless they are hungry, want fuss or a minion that has opposable thumbs rolleyes

Nooooo, I promise ya, it's genetically engineered rabbits. They won't tell you that in the media.

The media will not show you this. But I feel it is my duty to show you all what those crazy scientists are doing in secret....

My question is: What was the first human word? Who said it? And why?

I think the first human word was "shit"
as in
Eve to Adam - "Shit I dont think we should have eaten apple pie"
My question is
How do you know when you have entered a black hole ?

I think having all of your atoms squashed into a space no bigger than a microscopic full stop would be a clue.
And it would be dark. Very dark.

I still maintain Nolaville could be in a New Orleans jazz bar type place. Smokey and low key with undertones of sensuality.
My question is. How can light travel through a vacuum if a vacuum contains nothing and that light is a Photon is a particle.

Or the first human word could of been uttered by a woman and it would be "No" followed by the next four words "Before you even ask!" smile

If you accept the premise that to be "something" that something has to have mass, the answer is easy.
Photons do not have mass, so are nothing, under the above premise. They can pass through a vacuum and not break any rules :-)

Light has a duality, it behaves as a wave and as a particle. It's pretty awesome stuff!

Ah yes, such is the random, yet fundamental, property of the universe.
Physics is cooooooooooooool

Physics is cool, I loved it at school even got myself one of them O Level things for it, not sure how as I can`t remember most things now in me old age :doh:
