"If this much gunpowder makes a bang this big, imagine how good it would be with double, no ten times, no a hundred times the amount"!

see that reminds me of a story told by my OH uncle, he was involved with the development of the atomic bomb, anyway he was in the outback in oz with the rest of the loonies sorry scientists and they set off a bomb and they said after so many seconds the ball should be about the size of an old 1p piece (quite big if i remember correctly)and was spot on. so on the next day of testing the engineering team, had changed something to do with the way the bomb was detonated. and they said we used less this time, but they yield should be the same due to the new trigger set-up.

the bomb goes off, they turn around after so many seconds and lift up the pennies at which point, the chief physicist looks at my OH uncle, just says st! and starts running, the engineers and scientists run past the MOD guys and politicians, the MOD guys cotton on and run, and the politicians figure it out with seconds to spare. don't know what his team did but by accident they got something daft like 4 times the yield they should have had.

incidentally, i am mearly repeating the story i may not have the figures and terms right, i suspect there are people on here that know far more about it than me. it was just a funny story.

I've heard a very similar story from boffins working at the Atomic Weapons Establishment. I think your OH's uncle speaks the truth.

Central Heating Dial: "NEVER Turn Fully Anticlockwise"

"Hi...yes, DrTre here, your new tenant...sorry to bother you..it's about the central heating..."

Never present a man with a sign warning him not to do something.

These are things I wonder:

What would happen if I did a 'swim with the Dolphins' experience and punched one of the Dolphins right in the face?

How long would it take to build a Trebuchet? (answer is two days)

Why do men pay for hair cuts?

[loltolhurst]

upon seeing any object in the world

"id nob that"

[Digby]

Today, I wondered what would happen if I put a pie into a small microwave oven and then put that oven inside a larger microwave oven and switched them both on.Just lots of sparks? or a really, really hot pie?

Also, if I owned and carried around a lamppost, would I be allowed to chain it to peoples bikes for security?

[Flippin' Kipper]

I wonder what the total would be if I added all the items we serve onto the till - bit later - hi boss the till may be about £300 down tonight.

It feels like my finger will only JUST fit inside the neck of this beer bottle - anyone got any fairy liquid to get this bottle off my finger?

I wonder if I could jump that stream etc..

Will a boy ever be born who can swim faster than a shark?

I tried riding a pushbike with my arms crossed when I was a kid. I fell off on concrete and quite badly grazed myself. I haven't done it since...

That's a major fail! I'm a girl and I could ride a bike with no hands!

You miss the point, riding with no hands is a billion times easier than riding with your arms crossed.

Do you mean crossed, as it left hand on right handle bar, etc, or arms folded across chest. If the former, then yes, I can see why that's difficult (and being female I wouldn't have been stupid enough to try it!)

Lightweights! I can ride a bike no hands, pat head, rub stomach, chew gum all whilst singing lyrics to the tune of a different song. Blindfolded.

Ah... to a guy, it's obvious he meant left hand on right handle bar etc... as we have all tried that at some point, or at least thought about it

Some 'men' have a hair style. Real men have a haircut.
