1)Washington's not one of those states! ;)
2)In most of the states that have Sodomy laws, 'Sodomy" includes oral sex as well as anal! :eek:

Regardless I do feel that the Sodomy laws are ridiculous!

Axe31. Can you land a palin on a palindrome?

You can't sneeze with your eyes open.

Sharks do not sleep - they must keep water moving constantly thru their gills.

souls_cry2000 03-27-2002 12:39 AM

Bet you didn't know that with enough Lube you can do anything.

:D LOL!

Oldfart 03-27-2002 04:01 AM

Zoid

You are correct with abyssal species, but a number of

pelagic species, notably the grey nurse and the Port Packson

shark (Wobbegong) regularly rest still on the sand in rock gullies

close to shore. Scared the shit out of me one day.

Did you know that an octopus is growing his whole life?

Aqua 03-27-2002 01:54 PM

A beaver's teeth do not stop growing. If they don't gnaw on trees there teeth will grow long enough to curl up into there brain.

PS, OF, I too have heard of the million dollar space pen... I also read that it's just a tall tale.
Irish-I've been around you long enough to know you were just "bustin my balls!" Jsut thought I'd add my 2 cents... :D

Lilith 03-27-2002 02:06 PM

Aqua~ rabbits teeth too

Oldfart 03-30-2002 01:54 AM

Aquaman43, no ball busting on the pen.

Fisher market a pen which is sealed and pressurised, with

a piston to keep the ink in contact with the ball of the pen.

It writes through grease, upside down and all such. It also

writes on paper.

GermanSteve,

As a Beatles fan, I want to know if an octopus grows in an

octopus' garden.

Aquaman43, All rodents do that.

Ophelia, thank you. I'll be round later to pick up my Felix.......

The smaller and tidier "Oscar".

o/f when I was a kid I saw the "space pe for sale in a magazine for three easy payments of 19.99 I guess NASA had to find away to pay for the thing.

sorry to tell you, but Jaques Cousteau proved this theory wrong by filming stationary sharks in still water!! :(

But my contribution:

by all laws of aerodynamics, a bee's wings aren't large enough, don't beat fast enough and the body is too heavy for a bee to fly!!

trouble is, noone told the bee!!!!:p

scotzoidman 03-30-2002 10:55 PM

Ok, I've been busted twice on the same post, y'all can climb off the dogpile now... and on the bee's wings issue, I did read recently that reseachers now understand how bees' wings work... I'd explain it further, but my track record isn't very good here, so...

Oldfart 03-31-2002 02:41 AM

Zoid, Crazybrit.

Instead of depending on the lift an airfoil develops or the simple air-paddle like moths and dragonflies, the movement of small
insect wings create vortices which suck the insect up.

They change direction by re-aligning the wings and thus the
direction of the vortex.

Either that or they carry little jet-packs from Bees-R-Us.

scotzoidman 03-31-2002 02:58 AM

yeh, jet-packs, that's it, that's the ticket...

Has also to do with scientists thought that they coundn't possibly move their wing muscles fast enough to sustain lift; turns out these muscles vibrate like a rubber band when stretched & plucked, thus giving them enough wingbeats to fly. Just shows that we all have more to learn - science marches on...

Oldfart 03-31-2002 03:38 AM

Insects "muscles" aren't like ours.

There is a lot of fun science in bugs.

They're looking for a stable analog to use instead of motors

in some applications.

GermanSteve 04-20-2002 04:09 PM

In the cine film "Ben Hur" there is a horse car race. In the background you can see for a moment a little red car.

axe31 04-20-2002 06:28 PM

in england anal sex between a man and awoman
is against the law but between two men is not

mindboxer505 04-20-2002 10:14 PM

i am quoting here.....'' do you know that in the Navajo language it is impossible for a person to say...the horse kicked me?''
you have to say..''i let the horse kick me.''
otherwise you are implying that the horse is smarter than the man, which is an impossibility to them...... imagine that........unquote.......found in snowboarders magazine...march2002 issue....page164

sugarfreecandy 04-20-2002 11:09 PM

Hehehe, Mindboxer, that's close to being right --- I never knew that Snowboarders magazine was a good source of linguistics lessons, LOL! In Navajo, the natural world is seen as ranked hierarchically. It's a little hard to explain though: it's not so much that one kind of creature (eg, a human) is smarter or more advanced than another (eg, a horse); it's just that they are thought to have more independent will, if that makes any sense. The creature who is ranked higher is in control of the situation, and therefore is the subject in any sentence, while the lower creature is the object. Thus: The man allowed the horse to kick him, rather than the horse kicked the man.

Too late at night for me to launch into a proper explanation of the ideological significance of this way of linguistically ordering the world. The SFC Institute of Linguistics will, however, return sometime later with an explanation of how the Hopi categorize every object by shape and conjugate verbs accordingly, or some other equally inane piece of trivia, the moment something triggers my automatic lecture mode switch again! *giggling*

Speaking of dated palindromes...
 
A couple of months ago we passed:

2002 20/02 20:02

In a little over 110 years, it will be:

2112 21/12 21:12

And that will never happen again. Useless, huh?

Geek Boy 04-21-2002 12:35 AM

If you do a Google search on "pleximorph", it will find exactly one reply.

P.S. "pleximorph" has become my new favourite word for exactly that reason.

Frankly, I'm more interested in SFC's other lingual skills & knowledge...

Oldfart 04-21-2002 06:33 AM

You Hopi to deal more later.

scotzoidman 04-21-2002 07:44 AM

Yes, some conjugating would be nice...

Oldfart 04-21-2002 07:52 AM

I'm waiting for my next conjugal visit with SFC

legend 04-21-2002 07:54 AM

i'll be happy just to get English right...although i'm wondering why an Indian would want to admit that they let a horse kick them

kimmer22 04-21-2002 12:03 PM

OK..here's my uselessness for the day!
It is impossible to lick your elbow!!

Go ahead...try...you can't do it!

***Imagines everyone on Pixies tryin to do this!***

Geek Boy 04-21-2002 07:18 PM

>It is impossible to lick your elbow!!

>Go ahead...try...you can't do it!

Sorry to say this, Kimmer, but it's not impossible. It just requires a lot of dexterity and a very limber tongue (says he with the wet elbows).

kimmer22 04-22-2002 04:29 PM

ok...for the average person...not possible...but i suppose if you try you can do it...jeez!

ASH 04-22-2002 04:59 PM

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 meters per second squared.

this is the kind of stuff you have flying through your head if you are a physics major.

Irish 04-22-2002 06:04 PM

Kimmer22---That is wrong!I'll bet that if you put your crotch on my
elbow;that I could lick it!You can do anything if you have the
proper incentive. Irish

Mercury_Maniac 04-22-2002 09:38 PM

well i cant lick my elbows, i'm sure if you had really short arms as a deformity or a really long tongue it could be done

danziggy 04-23-2002 01:40 PM

my bit of info is..........

if you had an infinite number of pixies in a room and an infinite number of typewriters they would eventually write the Kama-sutra!!!

but no pics......but lots of practice to get the positions correct!! :D ;D

kimmer22 04-23-2002 10:37 PM

LoL Irish...how true...I could probably muster up enough strength...or flexibility....to lick a penis that so happened to appear on my elbow!!!

Oldfart 04-24-2002 02:02 AM

With all this focus on licking elbows, are we perhaps losing focus

on where we should be licking?

sadora 04-24-2002 08:06 AM

wow! I thought I was the only one who knew this much useless information about animals!

The tallest breed of dog is the Irish Wolfhound.
The heaviest is the English Mastiff.

Parrots have the intelect of an average 2 year old.
