If Man was to die out tomorrow, how long would nature need to remove all traces of our existence - not including fossils, I mean buildings/roads/infrastructure etc?
I know the pyramids are 4-5k years old but will they be there in 100k years?
I once saw a documentary around this subject, and IIRC it suggested that Mount Rushmore, carved out of granite, would be their bet at the last man made thing to survive. I know the pyramids are 4-5k years old but will they be there in 100k years?

Why are TV adverts for Bingo so utterly irritating? I can appreciate that in theory might be some demographic that doesn't find that style irritating. But I can't think of adverts for anything else that's irritating in quite the same way.
Well, such things are always subjective but to expand on the point you've spotted, the target demographic of this particular 'service' are unlikely to be troubled by the delicate nuance of a well crafted, properly articulated advertisement.Nimby said:

Rugby union: how the f
k does rucking actually work - more specifically the penalties for holding on/not rolling away?
I'll have a bash at this then.k does rucking actually work - more specifically the penalties for holding on/not rolling away?As a rugby league fan first and foremost but appreciating and enjoying the odd game of union, a lot of the penalties do seem arbitrary and basically a coin toss on which team they end up going against. My basic understanding, I am sure I will be corrected if I am wrong which I probably am:
Keep on your own 'side' of the ball
Enter the ruck from directly behind the last man (rather than from 'the side')
Ball carriers must release the ball and present it backwards relatively soon after being tackled
Other players need to support their own weight and not 'all pile' on but they can clear out other players, tacklers must release at a certain point?
The defending side can try and hold up the ball carrier, stopping him from getting to ground and presenting the ball, if they do they win a scrum I believe? Although I'm not actually sure the when or why a tackle turns into a maul.
With so many bodies potentially involved it's a bit of a nightmare for the officials and the way they handle things makes the difference between a good enjoyable game to watch and a dire one. At least it does to me, being the average joe and not too interested in the intricacies.
