Why people use liquid soap when a solid bar is better in every respect.
Because it's not! I found this out first hand when I stood in the shower and looked at a short, black hair on the bar of soap. The realisation hit me that this individual bar had been repeatedly rubbed around the genitalia of numerous people and I was just about to wash my face with it. Nope, I'll stick with a bottle of something, thanks!Exige77 said:
Would a car pass it's MOT with 17 year old tyres ?
Yeas as long as they have sufficient tread and no visible cracks, splits etc.However, yesterday i had a 16 year old tyre (I didn't think it was that old) in apparently good condition that passed the MOT last month, delaminate on me. Four people in the car and I had been driving at 70mph a few minutes earlier.
The car is always stored in a garage and does on average a thousand or so miles a year.

At what large size or slow speed does a HGV's load need a police escort?
Just drove by a double wide caravan taking up 80% of a single carriage way A road, going at about 2 mph, everyone going the opposite direction had to pull right over and there was a long queue behind it.
There was an escort van but at what point,if any, would cops need to be involved?
And what authority do the escort van have to make people move over?
If I didn't want to jam my car into a hedge to allow them to pass, can they make me? And if they meet an HGV on the narrower twisty bits,there will be carnage!

Depends if they are cracked or bald. I don't believe age in and of itself is judged.
Is that British or US metric or imperial inches?lord trumpton said:
Also, is there development of electric motorbikes?
Some yes, KTM have built this:
http://www.ktm.com/gb/e-ride/freeride-e-sx-2016/
I think it's got 2 gears, it looks great fun, It's got 22Bhp and weighs 108Kgs, by comparision their 350cc Freeride bike weighs 99.5Kgs without fuel so full it's about 105Kgs and puts out 23Bhp, that's pretty close in my book.

I think that is more likely to be in your head than an actual fact, if you think it is I would like to see some proof 
I know it works by washing away germs/bacteria and not actually killing it, but its surface is being constantly refreshed.I was more thinking of at home in the bath or shower, not in public areas. Every time you use the soap there if anything exists on it it will be washed away.
How many couples or singletons use liquid soap when there is no need? It's a complete waste of time, money and resources in comparison to a solid bar.
It's slower to use.
It costs many times more.
The bottles are made from plastic, which is made from oil.

After watching my cat's ultimately failed attempt last night, why don't animals get poisoned if they eat a spider?
Because spiders are not poisonous to eat. They can inject a poison that kills their prey, but that is not the same thing. The injected poison only works if it is in the victim's bloodstream.Ayahuasca said:
