Yeah Mythbusters are good most of the time with most of there myth's. But on some of there myths they dont exactly cover everything, but ohh well nobody perfect. But that is one Job I would love to have. Well that and reading brail ;)

RE: Totally Useless Facts
 

Well, thats the way it was told to me anyway. I never heard the ham fisted thing before, but there are maybe 3 or 4 theories in all. I buy the magazine theory because so many old timer hams have told me that one. But hey, I also here that MG was started in a small shop called Mac's Garage, but who know's. lol That one sound weird to me, as I always thought that British Lealand was the maunf, not some dude named Mac ! hahaha !

what falls faster a tennis ball or a table tennis ball?


Answer: Both the same.

RE: Totally Useless Facts
 

Disagree, A ping pong ball because it is so light will be slowed more by wind resistance. At a drop of 3' you may not notice the difference. Drop them both from 50' and the tennis ball will hit first. A bowling ball and a golf ball would be a better side by side comparison.:D:D

Last time I checked, when we where messing around with them and dropped them from ten feet onto part of our driveway(now this was when I was younger) it didnt bounce at all. For so reason a 15lbs ball doesnt seem to want to bounce all that much from a 10 foot drop onto pavement. But I'm sure if you added a trampoline to that equation then yes it would bounce. Hehehehe oppsssss. Might have to try that sometime. ;)

RE: Totally Useless Facts
 

They most likely don't bounce in your dirt driveway.
They bounce awsome off a smooth concrete floor. Almost as good as a basket ball...till they break.

RE: Totally Useless Facts
 

i guess its a good thing i meant to do that then!

This thread is slowing down......

A cubic yard of air weighs about 2lbs a sea level.

At lift off the space shuttle weighs 4.5 million pounds.

The DC in DC-10 stand for Douglas Commercial.

If you were to fly around the moon the distance is about the same as a New York to London flight.

Back in the old "horse & carriage" days, the average speed of a 1-horse-drawn cab in NY City was 7 MPH. In 2007, the average speed of a 300hp taxicab in NY City is 7 MPH.

That's progress?

when you blink you blink at almost 11 thousands of a second.

if you blink once every 5 seconds thats 12960 times in a full day

and the average person chews 12 times before swallowing.

RE: Totally Useless Facts

Peanut Butter was invented as a dietary suppliment for people with bad or no teeth....

RE: Totally Useless Facts
 

That black polar bear might not have been getting enough peanut butter in his diet !

I do believe the polar bears SKIN is black however ! hahahahah

And I THOUGHT I read someone had proved a heavier object DOES fall faster..even in a vacum, but the difference is almost immeasurable.

I always figured if a heavier pinewood derby car was faster, than a heavier object would fall faster :D Don't go and change science on my opinions though !

RE: Totally Useless Facts
 

Wy wife tells me i fart a lot more than 11 times a day!!!

Did you know they have brail on the key pads of drive thru ATM's? It's true, I saw it myself at a local bank once.

Do you know why the external fuel tank on the space shuttle is the size it is? Because it's the largest size they can put on a rail car or truck and ship back across the country after it is ejected and recovered. Do you know why train rails are the distance apart that they are? Why not wider? Because when trains and the rails were first implemented they had to be compatible with wagons, so they are the same width that wagons were. Why were wagons made the width they were? It was carried over from the design of Roman chariots because it worked well with a team of horses. Why were Roman Chariots made that width? Because of the width of the team of horses that pulled them. So in conclusion, the space shuttle is designed around a horse's ass.:eek:

I awoke and felt a strange lump on my right buttock cheek! Started scratching it and it fell off into my hand. After looking, it was a, 'inspected by 22' sticker. Came from my new 7 pack of Envoy underwear from Kmart.

I told people this is what I got for Christmas in the what did you get for Christmas thread? :D
