netmouse Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 In Australia, they have done studies that show it is less expensive for a family of 4 to eat McDonalds EVERY NIGHT for dinner, than it is for them to grocery shop and cook dinner at home. /sadface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all have harmless strains living inside us; it is only a few strains that cause any harm. We just think that because the media distorts one's perspective.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smeghead Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Apparently some physics guy invented fig newtons ??!! Yes, they were invented by Newton's contemporary and arch- nemesis , Edmond Halley of Halley's comet fame. Edmond, the son of a famous soap merchant, was very interested in mathematics as a child. "Anything to stay out of the Soap business", he was heard telling his public school chums. A wise move as soap in those days was made from the congealed sweat of Oxbridge rowers. Pubic hair was only added to bars of soap in the late 19th century. As a hobby he would develop confectionary delights for his wife's house parties. In 1687 he got pissed in a pub in Cambridge and started talking about his mathematical ideas to a guy at the bar and was astonished a few weeks later to see them published under the title "Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis" by some guy called Isaac Newton. Thus began a lifelong enmity. In the Geocon convention of 1692, Halley put forth the idea of a hollow Earth consisting of a shell about 500 miles (800 km) thick, two inner concentric shells and an innermost core.He suggested that atmospheres separated these shells, and that each shell had its own magnetic poles, with each sphere rotating at a different speed. Newton leapt up and stated that it was the most ridiculous rubbish he had ever heard in his life. "Everybody in this room... is now dumber...after having to listen to this crap" he announced. Newton continued his assault on Halley in the corridors of Cambridge. "Hey, Halley", he would announce loudly.. "I have just discovered that a prism can decompose white light into a spectrum of colours, and that a lens and a second prism can recompose the multicoloured spectrum into white light. How about you... invented any nice cakes lately?" This constant derision heaped upon Halley eventually broke his spirit, and now he is known only as a guy who invented a wierd biscuit while Newton went on to claim worldwide fame, on the basis of plying mathematicians with gargle in his local boozer. The name of halley's most famous confectionary offering came from Halley's repeated responses to Newton (in the vulgar venacular of the time) in the corridors of Cambridge...."Fig You, Newton" which over the course of the centuries has evolved into the phrase we know now. Believe it.....or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netmouse Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 The term "to sweat like a pig" is in fact incorrect as pigs do not sweat. And speaking of pigs, the singer Meat Loaf used two different female singers on his Bat Out Of Hell album. He had one for the studio and one for his live shows. The girl who sung on the album had the better voice but the one he took on tour with him was deemed the "prettier" of the two and appealed to the crowds. Ahhh, the joys of the sexist 70s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netmouse Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 When negotiating terms of payment with 20th Century Fox during post production of the film Star Wars, George Lucas chose to take the royalties from the merchandise over royalties of the film. At the time, 20th Century Fox chiefs told him he was crazy and laughed at his proposal. 35 years on and millions upon millions of dollars worth of sales from Star Wars merchandise later... I think we know who the real winner was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmouse Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 Lens flare is a visual effect commonly used within the animation industry to provide an aspect of realism in animated film. However, in reality, lens flare within live action movies is one of the most annoying natural anomolies and is generally hated by movie directors/cinematographers alike.

jenieve Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Macropods (big feet) e.g., kangaroos, can have a joey in the pouch and another embryo "frozen" at a certain development. If the joey dies, something triggers the embryo to continue development until birth, and the mother has a baby to raise. This "frozen embryo" issue also occurs when the country is in drought and the chance of survival of the mother/baby is slim. Cryopreservation in another form.

netmouse Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 @Seph: Creator Shigeru Miyamoto has stated that her name was inspired by Zelda Fitzgerald, the wife of American novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald. Along similar lines of the first Harry Potter film, this time regarding the film "The Madness Of King George III"... In adapting the play to film, the title was changed from The Madness of George III to The Madness of King George. An urban myth has developed that the title change derives from the fear that American audiences would think the film was a sequel, because of the use of Roman numerals in its title.

Ok so it doesn't surprise me that much. In fact I might know a few that would. ___________________________________________________________ Scientists say the higher your I.Q. the more you dream.
