Did you know the human head weighs 8lbs?

I dont know dude, I gotta pretty big head.

[NotSmall]

Because useless knowledge... is the best!

Did you know a pirahna cannot see or hear but a school of hungry pirahnas can eat an adult cow to skin and bones in 5 minutes. The frenzy makes the water appear to be boiling.

Err, sorry but that is bollocks!

[NotSmall]

the worlds largest ever dog was an english bullmastiff named Zorba. she measured, from her nose to the tip of her tail, 8feet 3 inches, and weighed a whopping 24 stones (336lbs). thats one big dawgie!

im telling you slack. WD stands for water displacer.
unbeknown to most individuals it it not actually an oil or lubricant. its silicone based.
i have a mate who works on the turbo set up for the subaru WRC's.
he said you wouldnt belive the things they do to the cars to make them go better.

speaking of radiation, if we had a gun that could emit a beam of alpha, beta and gamma particles, wed have ourselves a straight up doomsday weapon. nothing would escape the wrath

what do you think johan? would that be bad ass or what?

[Tren Bull]

When ducks quack, no matter how loudly, the sound cannot create an echo.

any sound wave has the ability to echo. think about it like this, a sound wave is similar to a wave traveling through water. when water waves reach a solid wall, they bounce off the wall.

You wouldnt be able to build such a weapon.
You are confusing the fact that alph beta and gamma types of radiation are not the same.
the first 2 are particles that are harmfull if injested, inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
the third gamma, is a ray and is what is use for measuing things.
i.e wall thickness, broken bones etc.

[stee]

on what the other ted is on about i aint a clue becaue the strength of radiation is measured in baquarells. and the dosage is easured in milli-sieverts

the way we calculate dosage for gamma radiation is the working duration of a breathing apparatus set at the distance of one meter from a maximum strength source of 37Gbq's
(giga-baquarells)
this will give us a dosage of about 30-75 milli sieverts. which to be honest is not gonna make you sterile.

[stee]

nothing a wank wont swort out to be honest.
tht one argument for women joining the fire dept because they cannot be exposed to radiation coz it can fuc up their ovaries.
it use to be 12 milli sieverts but they reduced it to no exposure about 3 years ago
