things a man would think

inspired by the things you want to be able to do thread i saw this post and thought only a bloke would think of this.

I want to do that creepy one eyebrow up and one down things, I need to improve my creepy look.

i will probably find now that kit80 is a lady, but it strikes me its a guy thing to think. just like on top gear when the camera man(?) came to work having smashed up his car seeing if he could drive crossed legged.

what else would a bloke think and it not even cross the mind of a woman?

"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.
