If two flies were allowed to breed without predation within a year there would be a mass of insects the size of the planet earth.
I call b
ks on that. Consanguinity would see to it to a greater extent than predation I'd think. If so that really wasn't the point of the trivia - it was meant more to indicate the rate at which flies can reproduce - which is meant to be the astonishing bit.
But if you think that the biggest barrier to there being a ball of insects the size of a planet is the resultant lack genetic variety resulting in educationally subnormal flies who are too thick to f
k - then who am I to argue.jesta1865 said:

as for aerodynamics on cars i would have thought the next big breakthrough will come in paint design, a paint that lowers the friction or creates a void round itself similar to the 'shark skin' swimming costumes ?
Nicely dimpled bodywork like a golf ball would be a good step, Mythbusters had some success demonstrating this. as for aerodynamics on cars i would have thought the next big breakthrough will come in paint design, a paint that lowers the friction or creates a void round itself similar to the 'shark skin' swimming costumes ?
I wonder if completely battered cars you see in Paris get better economy?

There aren't many words I have to look up. Yours was one of them and I'm still not sure that I undertand your point. Are you saying that in my given example you would end up with a bunch of retarded spastic flies due to the gene pool becoming so incredibly restricted and inbred?
Basically yes, or that they'd end up sterile after a few generations. Think of it as the major flaw in the Adam & Eve hypothesis...Mr Gearchange said:

Ah, I see. In which case it still sounds like codswallop. Either way, thank fook for spiders

Yes I've thought that too - hydrodynamic paint/process.Mr2Mike said:

I have always thought about this and why F1 cars did not have this on their body work, I assumed that it would only work if the object is spinning. Maybe I'm worngI wonder if completely battered cars you see in Paris get better economy?

Rubbish. I have seen a Duck's cock for a start - they are curly. Weird.
Also Nolar had one.
ETA: TA DA! I give you the Ruddy Ducks curly cock...
Gang rapists too, the dirty buggers. I thought pigs' cocks were like that too, hence we have the term "screwing" to mean copulating. Also Nolar had one.

Every Veyron cost VW well over £1million to develop, all sold at a massive loss to the company.

No idea whether it's true or not but servicing costs, parts etc after purchase will gurantee that the whole project doesn't make a loss Every Veyron cost VW well over £1million to develop, all sold at a massive loss to the company.
