The first breakfast cereal Fruity Pebbles. Lucky Charms. Trix. We're all familiar with these sugary breakfast cereals that make kids drool. But did you know the first breakfast cereal was too hard to bite and created simply to relieve constipation? The first breakfast cereal was "Granula," invented in 1863 by Dr. James Caleb Jackson. Granula was far from convenient. It had to be soaked overnight before it was even possible to chew the dense, bran-heavy nuggets. John Harvey Kellogg became a cereal godfather by creating the first breakfast cereal that was easy to chew. In 1895, he came up with a cereal flake made of wheat, which he called "Granose." Kellogg made great strides, but was not a good business man. He catered to just the wealthy members of society, who would travel to buy his flakes to relieve constipation. Charles William Post became a cereal guru when he successfully marketed breakfast cereal to the point that it filled grocery store shelves across the nation. Near the turn of the 20th century, Post created the cereal "Grape Nuts." Post originally marketed it as a grain beverage. It failed as a beverage, but was a hit as a breakfast cereal. Kellogg's brother improved "Granose" and was responsible for the Kellogg food line we know today. By 1902, 30 different breakfast cereal companies sprouted up, most of them fly-by-night operations claiming their cereals would cure Americans' every ill.

Gas Man wants to know... Why do they call Soap Operas "Soap Operas"???? :confused: :screwy:

do u really know the answer to this, or are you just curious ? ..damn soaps..but i did used to watch days of our lives back in the day...i mean, there's nothing else on in the afternoon's but soaps..

The wifey knows the answer, I think!

Definitions of soap opera on the Web: a serialized program usually dealing with sentimentalized family matters that is broadcast on radio or television (frequently sponsored by a company advertising soap products) :lol: :lol:

But why do they call them Soap Operas? That definition is probably after the fact. Why did they ever start calling them by that!?!?!?!????

A: We Went To The Encyclopedia Britannica To Find Your Answer. It Says Soap Operas Got That Name Because They Were Dramatic, Like An Opera, And Because Soap And Detergent Manufacturers Were The First Sponsors Of These Programs. ex.. proctor and gamble. Soap Operas First Started As Radio Programs In The 30's And 40's, And Evolved Into A Tv Phenomenon In The 1960's. This Was A Time When Women Were A Minority In The Workforce And Were Home During The Afternoon To Watch Them. As A Result, Lots Of The Sponsors Sold Soap To These Housewives.

We might have a winner!! I'll ask the wifey about the anwer! Do you want to know what you won? :lol:

We might have a winner!! I'll ask the wifey about the anwer! Do you want to know what you won? :lol: oh god, Im afraid to ask!!! what, the opportunity to allow you a nite with CJD ? :wink:

Here's a challenge..what is considered the most "beautiful" word in the english language...?

Here's a challenge..what is considered the most "beautiful" word in the english language...? "Mother"

http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/afp/20041125/capt.sge.izx05.251104001741.photo00.photo.default-384x275.jpg Mother is the most beautiful word in the English language, followed by passion, smile, love and eternity, according to a worldwide survey

Yep "mother" is correct

Heres one: There are 10 A's in this word and it has 49 letters in all and 17 G's in it as well.

I aint about to count the freekin letters to see if they are the answer, but these are some pretty long arse words!!! :eek: 'Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch' & 'pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis'

:confused: Hmmmmm not too sure on this one but I know this much if you have to write that word too many times it would take up a lot of paper. Why didnt I think of that when I was writing reports for class :bash:

I aint about to count the freekin letters to see if they are the answer, but these are some pretty long arse words!!! :eek: 'Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch' & 'pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis' That word is a factitious word alleged to mean 'a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust' but occurring chiefly as an instance of a very long word. But to answer my question since i know no one will get it... Lake in Massachusetts named: CHARGOGGAGOGGMANCHAUGGAUGGAGOGGCHAUBUNAGUNGAMAUGG.

:confused: How do you pronounce that lakes name. I should have done a report on that lake in Massachuttes. :damn: :doh:

:confused: How do you pronounce that lakes name. I should have done a report on that lake in Massachuttes. :damn: :doh: u should probably learn to spell massachusetts first.. :lol:

N4S, Don't make me bust out the full name again!!! :lol:

N4S, Don't make me bust out the full name again!!! :lol: Do it. Do it. :lol:

Ok Ok!! The wifey says that will work for the answer. N4S, you win a envelope with a pocket of air! Shipped to your door for a nominal $0.37, the cost of postage! Once you send your money it is all yours!! Next question...Gas Man wants to know... When did comercialized Porno start to make its way into mainstream America?? :D

oh god..wheres DJ the porno king for this one!!! :lol:

Funny you should ask that question right now as i am watching a special on tv about it now. LOL I will give you a bit to try to answer it or other ppl so its not just you and me for the most part answering all of them.

OK no one is answering. Porn has been around longer then we could have though of but didn't hit hard until the mid 70's when the introduction of commercial VHS technology in gave would-be porn entrepreneurs a new way to meet the demand. Video was far cheaper to work with and easier to distribute than film. It was also more private. Is that what you were looking for?? :D

and carrie wonders why you clear out ur history folder every nite!!! :seeya:

and carrie wonders why you clear out ur history folder every nite!!! :seeya: Hey..that one I knew most of the answer to with no looking on the net. :D

You need to break the letters down...

Gee-Ho-Tie (gee as in Jee.....Ho...Tie) ?????? :D

Ok next question, although with my lack of posting lately I will probably never see the answer as the pws will take this to 25 pages by the time I get back here. What is the annual consumption of 87 octane gasoline by the United States?

are referring to Tie as in neck tie or Tie as in tea ? :) UMmm I was thinking Tie as in neck tie! :o

ok, gotcha..just touble checkin... but damn, I cant answer this question.. :here:

OK OK..... N4S & DJ...try to answer my "ghoti" question...obviously, these people around here aren't as smart as you 2....

word ghoti with the [gh] from "laugh", the [o] from "women" and the [ti] from "nation" and could be pronounced "fish"

DING DING DING!!! You got it right!! How long did you know it was that and was just waiting to post it???

just waiting my friend...was chompin at the bit.. :D

"gh" as in "enough" "o" as in "women" "ti" as in "attention" What was wrong with my guess? I was close but had the last part wrong. Oh well it must be a guy thing. I guess I ain't as pretty as N4S or DJ to be a winner. :lol:

DING DING DING!!! You got it right!! How long did you know it was that and was just waiting to post it??? Hey fouckwad! Am I invisible. Next thing you know Gasman will want to know why MP kicked his foucking a$$ and left him for dead on the street corner. Get with the program! I ASKED A FOUCKING QUESTION NUMBNUTS! What is the annual consumption (in gallons) of 87 octane in the United States?

But you didn't say Gas Man wants to know...O wait...you're not Gas Man so you can't ask questions in here... I got no idea and not enough time to tell you how much gasoline is used in the US! Ok, I'll help ya, sense I wasn't the only person that didn't comment about it... Gas Man wants to know what MP is wondering!!!

Matt wants to know why gas man doesnt know this info off the top of his head.. :D

Well, when I get to work tonight I can tell you how much gas the Flint area used! But :wtf: I can't attest to every single gasoline terminal, refinery, pipeline, and station in the US!! I don't have the time to look it up on google...that's what N4S and DJ are for...

First..just a FYI..87 octane fuel in the United States would be 92 in Europe. :D People in the United States use 360 million gallons (1.36 billion liters) of gasoline each day. That is all octane. That is 131,400,000,000 billion gallons. And I think its a little over 43% of users use 87. So 56.5 billion gallons I think is your answer.

GOOGLE is a wonderfull thing!!!

especially for wannabe's like DJ.. :lol:

especially for wannabe's like DJ.. :lol: Not a wannabe you http://www.yamama.ru/baby/fun/cards/cock.jpg and I didn't use google. :D

now ur my bro and all..but ur telling me that u didnt google this answer ?? :smash: First..just a FYI..87 octane fuel in the United States would be 92 in Europe.

Yeah, I think that was a google answer...if not he'll come back and say some crap like it was a yahoo search or something else...

OK OK...new question... Gas Man wants to know... This question came off another thread... Which petroleom weights more Gas or Diesel??

OK OK...new question... Gas Man wants to know... This question came off another thread... Which petroleom weights more Gas or Diesel?? My guess would be diesel :rolleyes:

Ding Ding Ding...you win another night with me.... YEAH FOR US!!! Diesel, which could be Low Sulfer Diesel or High Sulfer Diesel, and even now a days Ultra Low Sulfer Diesel....weights in the range of 30-37 degrees of Gravity. While unleaded gasoline, regardless of the octane, weights from 50-65 degrees of gravity. Of coarse, water is considered to weight 1.0 degrees.... The lower the number the heavier it is! Backwards, maybe but it is what it is!

Ok, I'll roll right into the next question... Gas Man wants to know... What is the device (non-electrical) that I, in the pertroleum industry, use to weight the different gravities of these products????

Ok, I'll roll right into the next question... Gas Man wants to know... What is the device (non-electrical) that I, in the pertroleum industry, use to weight the different gravities of these products???? *blink, blink* Yeeeeeeah....I think I'll leave this one up to someone else to answer. I have no clue...LOL

O What is the device (non-electrical) that I, in the pertroleum industry, use to weight the different gravities of these products???? Hydrometer?

N4S and Gas Man...I did not google, yahoo, or msn. I read an article about it a while back and for the 87 being 92 in Europe, I knew that from living over there for a while. :D But I did look up the calculator for the big number. :lol:

read it, google it, yahoo it..whatever,..its all the same.. :lol:

DJ has this eery photographic memory. I swear he can glance at a 26 letter word and remember it! But he can't hear for $hiet because I talk about him all the time right in front of him and he doesn't hear me! :lol:

Hydrometer? Ding Ding Ding.... how did ya know?

Because shes cool like that and you just didnt know that. LOL :D

Ding Ding Ding.... how did ya know? Ok, this is weird that you asked that question, because just the other week I was at a party and 2 guys that were there got into a conversation about this. Now even though I was heavily intoxicated.... this stuck in my head. WHY I HAVE NO FREAKING CLUE!!!! :wink:

Well, that's cool and you win a exciting evening with DJ!! Congrads!! :lol:

Well, that's cool and you win a exciting evening with DJ!! Congrads!! :lol: YEA BABY!! That's what I am talking about!!! trust me, my evenings with DJ are ALWAYS exciting!!!! :wink: :whistle:

Sweet. I get a night with a HOTT women. Now were talking. :D

OK Gas Man wants to know: where is all the ppl at. where is everyone. What are you doing? Do tell us. :)

What the ***** are you talking about??? What do you want? Another question??

I want another question....yes. And no gas ones either. LOL :D

OK OK!! Gas Man wants to know... What is the difference between poisinous & venemais animals???

Difference between poisonous and venomous. Poisonous means that something is toxic if it is swallowed or absorbed. Venomous describes an animal that injects toxic venom into another animal, usually with teeth or fangs. :)

From now on..DJ has to wait atleast 45 minutes before answering the question to give the rest of us a chance, in case we log in later, or don't know it! You're ground for 45 minutes from here on out DJ! :lol: :lol:

No TWF for 45 mins. You got to be kidding me. I can not do it and I am not standing for this. :D

tell you what..i'll change it if you get rid of that avatar..im tired of looking at a dude peeing all the time..put that chick back up or something. :dthumb:

tell you what..i'll change it if you get rid of that avatar..im tired of looking at a dude peeing all the time..put that chick back up or something. :dthumb: OK I will do that then. :D

This is an interesting concept..this Energizer Bunny thread you have going here. A whole lot of nothing, but kind of fun nonetheless :thumbs:

Of coarse it's fun...it's my thread! I would have it no other way!! But N4S, is right on both accounts...damn DJ you should give some others some chance to answer.....stop flaunting your smartness. I bet you were the kid that always had his hand up really high for the teacher in grade school....at least until you realized girls had different parts... :D The answer is right, but I'll re-word it a bit.... Poinsonous animals transmit poison thru some sort of abosbtion, touch or contact...osmosis. Venumous animals inject through a punture by fangs.

But N4S, is right on both accounts...damn DJ you should give some others some chance to answer.....stop flaunting your smartness. I bet you were the kid that always had his hand up really high for the teacher in grade school. Yeah he's a regular Horshack! O...O...O...O :flush: :leaving: :lol:

New question Gas. I want a chance too!!!

DJ won't be online for most of the day, so stick one up gas.... maybe we should ban DJ from answering the question when it comes up, for atleast a bit. :redevil: :lol:

From now on..DJ has to wait atleast 45 minutes before answering the question to give the rest of us a chance, in case we log in later, or don't know it! You're ground for 45 minutes from here on out DJ! :lol: :lol: :iagree: :iagree: :iagree: :iagree: :iagree: HAHA youve been grounded

damnit gasman!!! where are you with a new question. Im about ready to turn into a gas man and ask my own again. :lol:

Gasman wants to know where is MP's next whiskey sour?

matt wants to know why mudpuppy is asking for so many drinks and hasnt actually gotten one yet!! :buds:

LOL I will give other ppl a chance to get the answer wrong and then i will answer. I was a smart one in school. I tried that osmosis thing once before with a book on my head while i was sleeping and I didnt learn a damn thing. LOL But I will give other ppl a chance to answer for now on. :D

Ok OK Gas Man wants to know... Why do they use evergreen trees as Christmas trees? And DJ is grounded from answering this question for 1 day!

One day....damn. LOL I will wait till tomorrow and then its on. :)

NO 1 day = 24hrs...which means you can't anser it till 16:16 Monday...

thats right..and since its a sunday, and football is on...this will give the rest of us time to find the answer if we dont know it!! heh heh, we got u DJ.. :lol:

LOL I can handle that. :)

at the end of December all the other trees do not have leaves ??? lol

RDogg....um...NO!!

The evergreen fir tree has been used to celebrate winter festivals (pagan and Christian) for thousands of years. Pagans used branches of it to decorate their homes during the winter solstice as it made them think of the spring to come. The Romans used Fir Trees to decorate their temples at the festival of Saturnalia. Christians use it as a sign of everlasting life with God. Nobody is really sure when Fir trees were first used as Christmas trees. It probably started about began 1000 years ago in Germany. One story that is told, is that St. Boniface of Crediton (a place in Devon, UK) left England and travelled to Germany to preach to the pagan German tribes and convert them to Christianity. He is said to have come across a group of pagans about to sacrifice a young boy while worshipping an oak tree. In anger, and to stop the sacrifice, St. Boniface is said to have cut down the oak tree and, to his amazement, a young fir tree sprang up from the roots of the oak tree. St. Boniface took this as a sign of the Christian faith and his followers decorated the tree with candles so that St. Boniface could preach to the pagans at night.

And I beleive Mr Matthew is correct for the most part. :dthumb:

go me.. its my birfday !!! go me, its my birfday!!! uuh huh..uh huh! :lol:

Calm down now. Your going to break something your throw out your hip you old fart. :lol:

Calm down now. Your going to break something your throw out your hip you old fart. :lol: uuhhh..uuhhh...* hand up in the air* uhhh uuuhhh ..and hey,wait a minute, who u calling old, u tard!!! :smash:

LOL :cheers:

Mathew is partically correct... The Christians use the evergreen/FIR as a sign of Jesus' everlasting life, because it doesn't loose it's needles/leaves like most trees do...hence "everlasting life"... So we'll give N4S, particial credit, so he can only feel up half of CJD...has to keep his other hand in his pocket! But we won't rule on pocket pool.... :D :lol:

Where is the next question at so I can look at it and not guess for a day. :lol:

Gas Man wants to know... What mechanical effect causes your blinkers to blink? or What causes your blinkers to blink? Again, DJ you're grounded from anwering till 15:45 Tuesday...

You ppl better get it right because I know this one with no googling. LOL As i know most of them but google helps with some more info to add to them. LOL

And no don't say a flasher relay....I mean what in the flasher relay causes it to flash!!

hehehe...thats what they would have told you if you wouldn't have added that. LOL I know the answer. I know the answer. :D

You ppl better get it right because I know this one with no googling. LOL As i know most of them but google helps with some more info to add to them. LOL u say know everything without googling..ur a legend, IN YOUR OWN MIND

The turn-signal circuit gets power when the ignition key is on. The power goes through a fuse panel into the thermal flasher. From there it goes to the stalk on the steering column. Depending on the position of the turn-signal stalk, the power either stops in the switch or gets sent to the left or right turn-signal lights (including the indicator lights on the dashboard). Power flows through the filament of the lights and then is grounded. This is all fairly straightforward, but you might be a little surprised at how the thermal flasher works. The Thermal Flasher This small, cylindrical device is sometimes located in the fuse panel under the dashboard of the car. It costs about $3 in the auto parts store and works reliably for years. Inside the thermal flasher there are a few simple components: An electrical contact that conducts electricity into the wire A piece of gently curved spring steel to which the electrical contact attaches A resistive wire wrapped around a smaller piece of spring steel When you push the turn-signal stalk down, the thermal flasher connects to the turn-signal bulbs by way of the turn-signal switch. This completes the circuit, allowing current to flow. Initially, the spring steel does not touch the contact, so the only thing that draws power is the resistor. Current flows through the resistive wire, heating up the smaller piece of spring steel and then continuing on to the turn-signal lights. At this point, the current is so small that the lights won't even glow dimly. After less than a second, the small piece of spring steel heats up enough that it expands and straightens out the larger, curved piece of spring steel. This forces the curved spring steel into the contact so that current flows to the signal lights unimpeded by the resistor. With almost no current passing through the resistor, the spring steel quickly cools, bending back away from the contact and breaking the circuit. The cycle then starts over. This happens at a rate of one to two times per second. Self-Canceling Signals Most cars have a mechanism that shuts off the turn signal when you are finished making a turn. You are driving straight down a road and put your right turn signal on. You slow down and turn the steering wheel to the right. The turn signal is still blinking away. As soon as you make the turn and turn the steering wheel back to the left, the turn signal goes off and the lever pops back to its original position. How does it do that? On the steering shaft (the part that spins when you turn the steering wheel), there is a notched hub. There are four notches equally spaced around the hub. When the turn signal is on, a plastic lever on the turn-signal switch is pushed into the path of these notches. When you lift the turn-signal stalk to signal a right turn, a spring-loaded roller falls into a notch in the switch housing, holding the stalk in place. At the same time, a plastic lever thrusts out into the path of the hub. As the hub continues to rotate clockwise, the notches hit the plastic lever, which rocks to let each notch pass. When the wheel turns back to the left, the hub turns counterclockwise, pushing the plastic lever in the other direction. This forces the spring-loaded roller out of its notch in the switch housing, so the stalk springs back to its centered position

WOW...now if that wasn't from a search engine I am totally floored. :lol:

u say know everything without googling..ur a legend, IN YOUR OWN MIND Now now...read that a bit closer...I said "most of them". :D But google helps with more info to add to it. :dthumb:

WOW...now if that wasn't from a search engine I am totally floored. :lol: no, unlike you, I dont profess to know everything !!! :lol: :lol:

So that is or is not a search engine answer???

it is... im not that big of a wrench head or electrician to know how they work..all I freekin care about is that they do.

Cool. But I never said I know everything....just alot of everything. Growing up, if there was something I didn't know, I looked it up to know it. :)

ur just the little bookworm arent ya! http://www.nuther.com/xmas/bookworm.gif

I try to be. :D

That is right N4S!!! Congrads on that!!

uuuh.....uuuhh... put ur hands up...uuhhh uuhhh... :willy: :clap: :beer:

You are so full of it! It is the "blinker fluid" controlled by the "kanutan valve" and the "muffler bearings" that make them blink. The Kanutan valve adjusts the flow of the blinker fluid (a derivative of "light bug juice") and the muffler bearings adjust the ambient temperature through the "blinking mechanism" which explains why when the bike isn't running the blinkers are more dim. Jeez. You guys just don't get it do you? Just make sure you check your blinker fluid regularly.

OK, I need to think of another question.... Gas Man wants to know... Who invented the calculator?

OK, I need to think of another question.... Gas Man wants to know... Who invented the calculator? Dorr E Felt. 1890 :help:

http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blcalculator.htm all the history you could ever want!!! Give us a real question.

http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blcalculator.htm all the history you could ever want!!! Give us a real question. How many carbs does "Duff" beer contain???

I'm sorry I came up with it right off the top of my head! I looked on my desk and there was a calculator... I like that question Ace... Gas Man wants to know what the answer to Ace's question is!!

i cant find what the carbs are, but i sure found out this duff merchandise is going for top dollar!!!

Sorry guys I've been busy and haven't got a chance to post a question... With all the snow lately I've been getting... Gas Man wants to know... How does rain/water get transformed into snow? :rant: Snow sucks!! :cursin:

You mean to tell me I still have to wait to asnwer this easy-arse question. You learn this in like 2nd grade. Someone better get it right before 7am tomorrow or I'm all over this answer. :D

i cant find what the carbs are, They are what what used before fuel-injection. :)

They are what what used before fuel-injection. :) :dthumb: Good one.

They are what what used before fuel-injection. :) uh yeah.. :smash: :lol:

Sorry guys I've been busy and haven't got a chance to post a question... With all the snow lately I've been getting... Gas Man wants to know... How does rain/water get transformed into snow? :rant:Snow sucks!! :cursin: :cheers: :willy: ..Rather than give it to u in my own words, I got the official info, just so u know. When you watch the local weather report on the evening news, you always hear the "current temperature." It may be, for example, 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) outside. That is useful information, but if it is precipitating, it is only one part of the puzzle. It turns out that the atmosphere is layered, and these layers control the form that precipitation will take. The local weather report only gives us the ground-level temperature. In order to understand sleet, snow and freezing rain, what we would need is perhaps four to six different temperature readings at different altitudes. Precipitation starts in the cloud as snow. As it falls, it may travel through a layer of air that has a temperature greater than 32 F (0 C). This layer melts the snow into rain. If the temperature at ground level is below freezing, then the water may refreeze in the air, and we get sleet. Or, if the layer of sub-freezing air at ground level is thin, the precipitation falls as rain but then freezes once it touches a freezing object on the ground. For snow to fall, all of the layers of air that the snow falls through once it leaves the cloud must be sub-freezing. The warm middle layers are normally caused by the movement of warm fronts or cold fronts through the area. In the Southeast, temperatures often hover around 32 F, so the form of precipitation can change all the time. In more northern areas, the temperature is well below freezing, so snow is a sure thing.

Right answer Matt...but you quoted the wrong thing. LOL

WOOPS!!!! :whistle:

WOOPS!!!! :whistle: Its ok...we understand. :thumbs:

Its ok...we understand. :thumbs: Fixed now.. :willy: :bonk:

Here is one for you - pipes freeze at 32 degrees but at what temperature do they burst? Gasman wants to know... Of course MP is well aware of this answer and if you get it right I will tell you the reason why I know..

Water freezes at 32 degrees. And as water freezes it causes it to expand and swell. Now it is not always the frozen water(ice) that caues the pipes to burst. When it freezes it causes the water to back up and pressure will start to build up and whereever there is a week spot in the pipe is what the water is going to burst out causing it to burst.

DJ, you were right on the 2nd grade question...but you have to remember where I'm asking the question...TWF...DUH!!! :D I'm not going to answer the question but I can tell you why you know!! Because you probably haven't sold your trailer and they are well known for popin pipes!!! :D

I have no trailer...but the answer to the question is right. :lol:

I have no trailer...but the answer to the question is right. :lol: No it isn't. Pipes burst at 33 degrees - in the process of thawing. That is when the thermal expansion is prevailant. No I don't know because of my mobile home that I am currently trying to sell along with the condo I am trying to sell. I know because I worked in some apartments that had a bad freezing problem - why you ask? Because some dumb arse decided to build California spec apartments in Michigan - bright guy! So the wind whipped through and frooze the pipes. We used an arc welder to thaw - why? Because it thawed so quick it would go past the 33 degree danger mark quick enough to not burst the pipes. In regular thawing, i.e. leave them alone and hope it gets warmer out or the hairdryer method, the pipes in the process of thawing reach 33 degrees and stay there for too long then they burst. Actually when they are frozen the pipe condenses and when it heats up it expands. If you ever have a freezing pipe problem always drip the hot water - never just cold - why? Hot water ALWAYS freezes faster than cold water and that is the Gasman wants to know question of the day - why does hot water freeze faster than cold water? Gasman wants to know.. Line up beotches - I am going to pimp slap the stupid out of all of you.

I love these questions. I have to try and get into this thread more often. :willy:

That is cause this thread ROCKS!! MP, thanks for the step up! I needed help, been kinda busy lately!! I'll be back at it full bore Friday, as I'm off for about a week and a half!! :dthumb: :pat: :willy: :cheers:

What are you thinking of??? Check it out... 20Q (http://y.20q.net/anon) It's really cool and got me right on in less than 20Q!!! :yesnod: :scratch: :pat:

That is pretty cool. I thought of an electric guitar and it guessed it. That is almost as good as your avatar there slick..

Yes, his avatar is quite Festive !!! Why weren't there santa's helpers that looked like this when I was going to sit on his lap ? :willy:

Ok I learned something new yesterday.. A Colloidal Suspension is quite fascinating. I figured I would share with you. So someone give me an example of a colloidal suspension and I will share the rest with you.. Here is a hint - you might see one during the holidays as part of your holiday meal..

Don't go JACKIN my thread all to *****!!!

After reading this thread for quite a while now, I would imagine you could consider this 1 continuous highjack after another :wink:

Hey now!! Don't make me ban you from the thread!!! :lol: Cause ya know I can't really do it!! :D

Since you banned GSXR750DJ from answering any questions within the first 24hours, this will now give me a better chance to answer them. When's the next one coming?

sounds good to me..im too lazy to google it right now since I dont know the answer

I got another one for you...and there may be more than one answer to this one... Gas Man wants to know... Why do we, humans, :yaewn: ????? :willy: :flush: :bonk: :pat:

There are several answers.. one, is that your body is lacking oxygen, so you yawn to replenish the supply..thats why alot of times when you yawn, you're not doing much physically, so your body systems aren't functioning at a more brisk level.

Maybe but that's not what I heard! Besides I yawn in both directions...in & out!!

: yes, we all do.. but thats just 1 answer..there are several theories/answers to ur question..but im leaving work in 5 minutes and no time to write them..will do it later if no one else answers first. :yaewn:

Gas Man wants to know... Why do we, humans, :yaewn: ????? :willy: :flush: :bonk: :pat: Everyone yawns - babies, kids, teenagers, adults. Some birds, reptiles and most mammals also yawn. However, the reason why we yawn is a bit of a mystery. There is also very little research on yawning because for most people yawning is not a problem. Here are a few things that are known about yawns: The average duration of a yawn is about 6 seconds. In humans, the earliest occurrence of a yawn happens at about 11 weeks after conception - that's BEFORE the baby is born! Yawns become contagious to people between the first and second years of life. A part of the brain that plays an important role in yawning is the hypothalamus. Research has shown that some neurotransmitters (for example, dopamine, excitatory amino acids, nitric oxide) and neuropeptides increase yawning if injected in the hypothalamus of animals. And another: that we yawn because oxygen levels in our lungs are low. Studies have shown that during normal, at-rest breathing, we don’t use anywhere near our lung capacity; for the most part, we just use the air sacs at the bottom of the lungs. If the air sacs, called alveoli, don’t get fresh air, they partially collapse and the lungs stiffen a bit. As a result, it’s believed, our brain prompts the body to either sigh or take a yawn to get more air into the lungs. But certain aspects of yawning remain even more mysterious. Fetuses, for instances, have been observed yawning in the womb, yet it’s known that they don’t take oxygen in through their lungs. And yawning seems to be a symptom of multiple sclerosis and other medical conditions, for reasons unclear. Another puzzling phenomenon is that some male animals, men included, yawn in association with penile erection (although it’s presumptuous to assume they’re bored with their sex lives). And N4S...its not the whole body, just brain and lungs.

Hehehehe...nice one Carrie. Gas Man...we need another question and make it a hard one this time. :thumbs:

Ok Ok!!! Gas Man wants to know... Who was Bach's (the composer) second wife?

You arse...I said a hard question. In 1721, he married Anna Wilcke. They had 13 children together. Altogether, Bach had 20 children with his two wives, but 10 of his children died in infancy. Four went on to become well-known composers and musicians. Now make it harder next time. I know my classical music.
