Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / How Do Bees Say That The Source Of Food Is Now Empty ? Or Don't They ?

« on: 22/05/2024 19:24:19 »

Dearest Beekeepers and Bee-ologists,


As a sheepy I of course know everything there is to know about Bees.  I know this because  they are the second letter of the alphabet.



B-Sharp telling B-Minor where the nosh it just moments ago.




Bees get their nosh by telling each other where it is.  Take a look at the above photo for the proof.




So, when the nosh has all gone, how do they let the others know ? does it just get lost in new messages of new food locales ? Last thing you want is traffic jam on one petal !!




So, whajafink ? do they somehow cancel the locale or not ?




Thank ewe for BEEing so kind.

Geology, Palaeontology & Archaeology / How Old is Soil ?

« on: 20/05/2024 11:11:06 »

Hi All,


I'm Sheepy how are ewe ?
Excellent, now that we are all best friends I'd like to find out how old soil is. Soil is my all time favourite dirty earthy stuff that things grow in.

As ewe can see, soil and plants are also best friends like ewe and me.


So, How Old Is Your Regular Bog-Standard Garden Soil ?

Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / Do Fish Salivate ?

« on: 17/05/2024 16:25:26 »

Dearest Fishy Peeps,


Nothing like a pescatarian feast to keep all the vege-matics happy eh ?


My oral cavity is drooling just thinking about it ?


If a Fishy sees a very tasty morsal, does it salivate too ?




Can Fish and Whales and all that underwater life salivate ?

whajafink ?


Thanky everyone .

Physiology & Medicine / Is Anything Passed Down To baby Via Surrogacy ?

« on: 17/05/2024 14:18:51 »

Dear Surrogacyologists,


Surrogacy is a real fine thing for girlies to do.  I asked one and she said she was fine....so there you have it QED.




With the body of the female sheeporting the life of the infant, is anything at all passed down from the surrogate to the child ?


If, not...how not ?


Thank ewe for kind assistance.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Where are the round rocks on Mars ?

« on: 17/05/2024 11:55:58 »

Dearest Marsologists,


As a sheepy I maintain a rotund, circular, plumpy figure.   So there I was, day dreaming about all things round when it dawned on me that I don't recall seeing circular rock deposits on Mars.
As a firm believer in empirical study I caught the bus to Mars and it's true!.. Where are all the round rocks ?



Mars with no round rocks just minutes ago !!

So, have all the Flerfs gone up there to remove them ? or are there no round rocks on Mars ?


Please to be letting me know

Thank ewe hugs

Physiology & Medicine / Why Make Scar Tissue Instead Of Bog-standard Tissue To Heal ?

« on: 14/05/2024 13:17:58 »

Dearest Scarologists and 'Hoo-Har' (Kwik Kwiz...why am I saying "Hoo Har" ?)






Take a look at Samantha's scar !



Samantha's scar last Wednesday evening circa 23:14. She was drinking tea.


Why doth da body make da scar tissue innit ? (attempting to attract 'street-kids' to enjoy science) you feel me ?

Ok, why does the body make scar tissue that lasts forever and just not regular tissue  ?

Scars come in all shapes ,sizes and textures etc....wouldn't it just be easier to just heal back to normal. does not the liver do this ?


whajafink ?

Physiology & Medicine / How Do the Immune Cells Detect The Invading Infection ?

See the picture below ? A genuine non-doctored bona-fide picture of a real cell defending the body.









A genuine non-doctored bona-fide picture of a real cell defending the body as just mentioned in the above sentence just moments ago

How do the cells know where the infectious cells are ? and how do they even move to apprehend the the offending cells ? Do they ' uber' it ? use Waze ? ask directions ?  I dunno !!


Do ewe know ?

I went and asked a prisoner as he was inside a cell and he had no idea !!


Thank ewe for your kind service in shedding some light here.

Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / What Organisms Have The Most Dissimilar DNA ?

« on: 14/05/2024 12:30:26 »

Hi Dna-ologists .


We apparently share 50% of our DNA with bannanas !  That's nice. When I look at the picture of Ben and his banana together I am convinced. I find it difficult to tell the difference between the two,




Ben and his banana just moments ago. Which is which ? I can't tell !!

So, which organisms have the least similar DNA ?

As a sheepy I of course share my DNA with clouds. we are 99.99999999999% the same. This is true because I said so.



So, can ewe think of a few organism's with such fundamentally  disparate and incongruous DNA ?

thank ewe

General Science / How Do We Know The Temp Of Absolute Zero If We Can never Reach It ?

« on: 14/05/2024 10:28:05 »

Dearest  Coldologists !


'Absolute Zero' is well cold innit ?   


As a firm believer in empirical study  I snuck into my neighbours house at 3am this morning and put his air con onto max and dangled some ice cubes over his head. I also pipe fed him his favourite brand of vodka despite his playful protestations that he had just become clean after 15 years of going to AA. Oh well.


Anyway, the best I could do is drop his temperature a single degree. I blame his body's lack of cooperation. So, no luck there then !


What I was attempting to achieve is to see what would happen at Absolute Zero but found this very difficult to achieve.......then.....after stuffing my neighbour in the freezer I realised after 5 hours that it's impossible to achieve absolute zero and gave up and came home.


however, I thought "How Is The Temperature of Absolute Zero Known If We can Never Achieve It ?"




I dunno, shrugging my shoulders and stuff  !


Please to be accommodating my request with an answer.


Thank Ewe

ps: I later found out that my neigbours freezer was defrosting.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Observing Quantum Entangled particles At the Same Time . What Happens ?

« on: 13/05/2024 10:49:15 »

Dearest Quantumologists,


Now, as a sheepy, my wool is always being entangled. Ewe pull one strand and another moves. This has baffled Quantum Woologists since 1743 when Sheep were invented by Sir Ramewe J.Umper the 3rd.


Now, say we have a pair of entangled particles. Observing one immediately changes the other. BUT.....what happens if ewe observe both the particles at the exact same time ?? what happens ? does the Universe suddenly end ? do all vending machines dispense goods for free ?




I need to know because I want to know and I hate not knowing stuff that I want to know.




Thank ewe for your kind consideration in this woolly mattered !!!

Hi All,


Are right handed people right footed and vice versa ? what determines 'hand preference' ? Why are we not naturally ambidextrous  ? would that not be naturally advantageous to be so ?

Hello, I'm Sheepy How are ewe ?,


As a sheepy I of course collect black holes, here's my collection so far:

What would happen to a pair of entangled quanta/particles if one of them fell into a Black Hole ?

I don't know. I asked my Neighbour and he just ignored me despite the chloroform that I administered. Very rude...so...no luck there !!

Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / Why Are Baby Animals Cute?

« on: 16/11/2023 15:22:50 »

Dearest  Cuteologists,


Why are baby animals cute ?



Some baby animals being cute literally seconds ago !!




Don't they look so adorable ? do they not make ewe want to go "awwwwwwwwww" ?


why's that then ? What purpose does it serve to make baby animals cute ? I would like to extend that to baby humans, but sometimes I think baby humans are too wrinkly !..when they get older they also look cute.


Which one of the above do ewe think is the cutest ?...


I need to know soon as I am a speaker at a philosophy symposium next Tuesday and I need to look klevur by discussing a klevur topic ..thank ewe .

Hi, I'm Sheepy how are ewe ?


In about 500 million-1 billion years(please correct  if inaccurate)  the Sun will start to expand , by then though, would not the Sun have lost enough mass so that all the Planets would have migrated further out  ?




I dunno !.....I asked my cousin but she just ate her baby food and did a poo. I considered that answer but am not entirely convinced .

Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / Do Land Animals Hesitate When Entering COLD Water ?

« on: 14/11/2023 12:59:34 »

I can understand why animals would hesitate when entering a body of water if the premise is to seek predators awaiting, but if there are no predators, does the temperature difference make them hesitate ?
