Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / Do Spiders Cooperate ?
« on: Today at 15:44:33 »
I just witnessed these two spiders either working collectively wrapping up supper in my garage....or in competition or just so euphorically engaged that they did not notice each other....which is it ?

Geology, Palaeontology & Archaeology / Can Anyone Tell Me About This Rock ?
« on: Today at 14:04:43 »
Can anyone give me some context about this rock/stone in my garden? How did the other stones become attached ? what's the plant ? What of the rock itself ?





3
Physiology & Medicine / Does reasoning like humans exist in one species only ?
« on: Today at 13:56:17 »
Do ewe think it would have been possible for another species with the same rationale, intellect and thought processes as humans to have evolved along side humans ? (besides myself that is!)


Or, do you think that our existence is prerequisite upon only ONE species being able to think like humans ? One per planet ?




whajafink ?

Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / Why Are There No Freshwater Cephalopods' ?
« on: Today at 13:20:12 »

Dearest Celaphalopdologists,
Meet Arbuthnot Saline The 3rd. He's a happy chappy living the ocean life, carefree , nonchalant and a bit of a player !!

But, there is one thing that bothers him, he's got no cousins that live in fresh water ? why's that then ?

Why are there no freshwater squid, octopi,  etc etc ?






Arbuthnot ' Spearheading' the campaign (pun intended) to lay down the foundation for a freshwater cephalopod community.

Physiology & Medicine / Can You Define What a Woman Is ?
« on: Today at 12:15:01 »
Why oh why do some people struggle to define what a woman is ?


(This could be ' just Chat;  but it's also I think the ideal section to post this question.)


whajafink ?





Mine......a grown female with XX chromosome's , with all the apparatus to have babies ...cervix, uterus , boobies lol etc !


Please add your own or elaborate on mine !


What's your definition ?

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Why does The Sun's Polarity Change Every 11 years and Earth's is so unreliable ?
« on: Yesterday at 19:39:23 »
Dearest Polarity experts ?

The Sun is well big, a million Earths could fit inside it making it nice and cosy (cozy- USA translation service)..sheesh !! )  during those harsh winter climes. Of course, there are much larger stars, Stephenson2-18 for instance but none of them compare to Sheepys ego .....................of course !! (I am an 'arrogant-free-sheepy')

Anyway, digressing like I do I want to get to the main topic in that why does the Sun's polarity change ? why every 11 years ? and why does Earths change so irregularly like every 300000 years etc and we are well overdue !! What's the universal standard Solar Polarity Change Interval nowadays ?

Your thoughts would be most gratefully received.


Zank ewe

Oh Sun, ewe change your mind every 11 years
Flipping your head between both ears
Making your spots so very dull
As ewe flip between your North/South pole.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / With unlimited budget, what would be your ideal space exploration project ?
« on: Yesterday at 18:39:54 »
With unlimited budget and resources, what would be your ideal space/astronomical/cosmological exploration project ?


Would love to hear some of your ideas.

Mine would be to see how well fleas poo in space !....this would be a paradigm shift in our understanding of everything !

What's yours ?

Physiology & Medicine / Can JUST a head survive ?
« on: Yesterday at 18:32:28 »
Dear Cranial Inplantologists,

As a sheepy I just love my head being where it is. Each day I find it at the end of my neck and it pleases me no end.

Say I was the unfortunate casualty of a horrific happenstance ! A very serious papercut that separates my brain bowl from my body.
I know the outpour of grief would stop the Earth spinning but Could my head(or anybody else's head) remain alive and well if attached to the appropriate equipment


As a firm believer in empirical study I perchance found myself removing my neighbour's *head at 3am this morning and with the aid of Lego I created a toy car that I threw at it  !..A toy car that after all my endless research (none) I thought was the appropriate equipment...................anyway no luck there !....sheesh !!!


whajafink ?










*Please do not try this tat home, I am a trained neighbour-head remover.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Does The Universe Spin ?
« on: Yesterday at 14:48:42 »
Dear Universologists,



The Universe Just Moments Ago !! Uh OH !!!....all the Flat Earthers out there will now pronounce the Universe is flat !!




CD's spin, the Earth Spins, The Solar System Spins, The Galaxy Spins, Globular Clusters Spin....everything spins.....even candy floss spins !!




so, d'ya fink the Universe Spins ?




I dunno !!


I'm asking ewe cos ewe know stuff !!






Sheepy

Ewe spin me right round Uni
Right round Like Candy-floss Uni
Right round !!round round !!

General Science / Are Black Holes The Blackest Things Ever ?
« on: Yesterday at 14:35:51 »
Dearest Naked Science Peeps,



Are black holes the blackest things ever ? even blacker than the black paint stuff that is really black ?


I asked the sheep in 'Baa Baa Black Sheep' and all it did was donate wool to a Master, a Dame and a Boy !!..I mean, what kind of help is that ? absolutely rubbish !!!






Sagittarius A just moments ago.

Baa Baa Black Sheep
Are Blackholes the blackest thing ever ?
I just donate wool
Which I think is very klevur !!

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Can A Gravitational Wave Cause Physical Damage ?
« on: Yesterday at 13:09:23 »
Dearest Gravtiationalists with degrees in Gravitationology,


Look at the below picture which I just took !









Bona Fide Piccy Of A Gravitational Wave Taken Just Moments ago.




As a Sheepy I of course know everything there is to know about photographing astronomical/cosmological phenomena. I mean, look at it !..it's a great piccy !


Can Gravitational waves Cause Physical Harm ?  say, they were mega strong ? What am I going to feel as they pass through me ?  Will I puke sheepy sick ?

Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / Can A Cuttlefish Act As A Video display ?
« on: 02/04/2022 15:58:37 »
Dearest Cuttlefishologists ,


Take a look at Henry:



Henry just Moments Ago


Henry wants to serve a purpose after he's "quit the earth" and wants to know if he can become a video display ?


With he's multifaceted skin adaptiveness and ability to mimic his surroundings do you think it's possible ?


I don't know.....I'm a sheep not a shark !!

Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / Do Animals That Live In Caves Or The Bottom Of The Sea Follow A 24hr Lifecycle ?
« on: 17/09/2021 14:54:52 »
Dear Klevur peeps,


Some animals live in a cave all their life or others may live at the bottom of the sea never ever seeing sunlight.

Do they still follow a 24 hour cycle ? sleeping ? do they follow seasons ?

Physiology & Medicine / How Do Isolated Tribes Survive Inbreeding Birth Defects ?
« on: 09/09/2021 19:16:49 »
Dear Anthropologists,


Well, the kweschun is in the title !


After a few millennia, how do isolated tribes still survive ? Their cousin may also be their brother, aunt uncle nephew niece sister type thing eh  ?


Surely they'd all be eating grass and playing banjos by now !!

General Science / Will Ice Melt In A Completely Sealed Chamber ?
« on: 09/09/2021 19:07:42 »
Hi Icipeoples,


Say ewe had a box and ewe filled it with water then froze it then shaved off the surplus that had expanded then sealed the box so that every single side of the ice was airtight sealed and in contact with the sides of the box and then ewe seal the box and vacuumise it too !!




Would the ice melt ? Because water takes up less volume than Ice,......... if it were impossible for the volume to be reduced would this keep the ice frozen ? .........or would it just be fat water ?


What Do Ewe Think ?

New Theories / Does Free-Will Exist ? (Lightweight topic......... lol)
« on: 09/09/2021 17:24:24 »
Dear Will-ologists,


This morning 3am, I was listening to Talk Heathen podcast and the topic of free-will  and determinism came up.


I can't decide, I'd like to think that Free-Will does exist else what's the point ?




I asked wifey about Free-Will and she just said it was a good film !!! I did not pursue it !!


 ;D ;D

The Environment / Does Earth Lose Water ?
« on: 09/09/2021 17:15:00 »
Dear Earthologists,


As a sheepy I of course know all about earth, I know doggies like to roll around in it and that it's also where grass grows.  I mean, what else is there to know ? That covers it.


Here is The Earth, to scale 1-1.



The Earth true to scale 1-1 cos I said so.


Is Earthy losing water ? Does any of the water in the atmosphere leak into spacey-wacey ?

If so, how much and does it get replenished whenever the ISS people flush the loo ?

i don't know.....I'm a sheep !!

Physiology & Medicine / Do Identical Twins Have The Same Handwriting ?
« on: 09/09/2021 16:54:33 »
Dearest People With Degrees In Twinology,


Take a look at these identical twins,  they are identical in every single physical way as ewe can see.





Twins being identical in every conceivably physical way just moments ago.


Anyone here a twin ? triplet ? more so etc ?


Do Identical Twins Have the Same Handwriting ?


and if not..........why not ?


As a firm believer in empirical study I stood in front of a mirror and wrote some stuff. It was exactly the same but the other way around......so, it must be true eh ?


whajafink ?

Oh to be a twin would be such fun
To play a trick on dad and mum
But to have some twins is the best of joy
I can't say why cos as a sheep I'm coy !

Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / Where Are All The Interbred Birds ?
« on: 14/08/2021 13:00:47 »
Dearest Birdologists,


Take a look at Baaaaaambo !



Baaaaambo just moments ago !!

Baaaaaambo is the offspring between my cousin and an elephant, awwwwwww !!!

We often see cross breeds and mongrels of cats and dogs...but ewe never see two different birdies doing the deed and making a hybrid . I'd love to see the result between an Ostrich and a Robin for instance.


So, why do we never see interbred birdies ?

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Quantum Entanglement Means Same-Moment Delivery Yes ? How ?
« on: 12/08/2021 15:24:56 »
Dear Watchers Of The Old TV Series Quantum Leap !


As a sheepy I of course deal with entanglement every day which I thought would stand me in good stead to understand this. I even fired up my old Amstrad CPC 464  in the hope it would help but three weeks in and it's still booting !!







Take a look at Boris and Nathan. There they are minding their own business happily being all quanty and stuff billions of light years apart.






Nathan and Boris Being All Quanty Just Moments Ago.

Apparently they can communicate with each other instantaneously !! Even though they are zillions of miles apart !!..what's that all about then ?

How can they communicate faster than light ? and what is it that is linking them together ?

If couriers employed this into their delivery process we'd all be very happy !
