Only one way to be sure - try it and let us know!

There's a very large and unpleasant can of worms to be opened on this one. Suffice to say that the answer lies in one the lesser opened volumes of Darwin's origin of the species that suggests we as humans are not descended from a single source 'creature' but from several. The theory (which I think has been proven as best it can be) is that Africans evolved from a creature similar but different to say, Europeans and it is through this evolution that see African people having a elongated bone in their foot/heel/shin compared to others that given them and edge when running both short and long distance.

Sort of depends how you do it. Pigeons are classed as vermin, so killing is no problem legally as long as you are despatching them humanely. Shooting is allowed but the pellets must stay on your land.

But Olympic swimmers are exclusively white. I live in a multicultural area, and I swim every morning before work. The leisure centre is full of people of all colours and creeds, but get into the pool, and everyone is white??

1. No absolutely not, the myth that they are comes from the days when macs weren't very popular (pre-iPod)
2. Nothing, if anything they are much more vulnerable as over the years they haven't been tested and built internal testing to counteract people looking for loopholes, so if you have a mac, get anti-virus ASAP as lots of technologically dumb people now own apple macs and lots of companies wanting to be 'hip' have them without having an IT department because it's a mac and doesn't need IT does it? So virus writers are exploiting that and it's like 1990 all over again, party time! Sadly it does also mean script kiddies are also being dicks and producing virii for stupid reasons.
3. Microsoft have done far more than apple have in every way!

There's a new can out that does but the CO2 is contained in a separate skin, when you open the can it is released into the outer skin cooling the drink and unlike the ones around in the 90's it doesnt contain refrigerant so is ozone safe.
It's being trialled at a US university currently, in fact here is the link:
http://westcoastchill.com/how-it-works/ I can't find the inventors website, but IIRC he's a professor so there's a good likelyhood he's licensed it to these guys.
and here's another that uses a dessicant:

There's something lurking in the back of my memory that we had such cans of beer in the 90s. Might have been Sapporo (or might be a failing memory!)


Edited to add, I did a bit of a Google, and did find this: http://www.dnaindia.com/lifestyle/report_soon-self... Which means the worlds companies do in fact search Pistonheads for ideas (and it's daily sage advice for how they go about business, design cars, run countries etc etc).

This is stupid, but I just wondered to myself why "how's things?" is considered a correct way of phrasing "how are things?" ?. Surely using the shorthand using would mean that the long version would have to be "how is things?"
