You can work out how high something is in metres by squaring the number of seconds a pebble takes to fall the distance and multiplying this by 5.
Not entirely accurate, but for most people it will do. So, to prove this is true, can you measure the height of a lion? Thanks. 
I'll find the lion, you sit on his head and drop the pebble.GKP said:
The phrase 'Put a Sock in it' comes from Victorian taxidermists. They used to use a pre-shaped bag (sock) containing the stuffing to speed up the process of preparing the dead animals for display. Using the phrase towards a live animal usually heralded it's imminent demise.
I always thought that this referred to the technique employed to mute a gramophone?"Use your loaf" derived from WWII soldiers sticking their loaf on their bayonet and helmet on top before raising it above the trench to identify enemy locations by drawing fire.

There are more atoms in a spoon full of water than spoon fulls of water in all the seas.
Start with one grain of sand on the first square of a chess board. Double it on the second square. Double that on the third square and so on. There isn't enough grains of sand to continue doubling what's on the previous square to reach the 64th square.

Why is the sky predominantly blue? The colours that make up light have different wave-lengths; the shortest wave-length, blue, is the most easily dispersed. So when sunlight hits the Earth's atmosphere, blue gets scattered most.

If you type "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog", you will use every letter at least once.
If you type "=rand()" in Microsoft Word 2003 or earlier, it will do it for you, numerous times. You can specify the number of times it does it by inserting a number in between the brackets.leeshell said:
