General Science / Re: Is it safe to eat cake that's been frozen for 11 years?
« on: 23/11/2022 14:57:42 »
Well there ewe have it.......disgusting !!.....i think it received a little water damage as some of it was very saturated......still sweet but the texture of the cake sponge was all soft. Probably a preparation error from 2011.


Edible.....but not agreeable...... I am not in hospital and no stomach pump required........which is nice !!  ;D

Geology, Palaeontology & Archaeology / Could There Be Dinosaurs Floating In Space ?
« on: 05/07/2022 18:42:47 »
Dearest Dinosaurologists and the spirit of  Dicky  (quick kwiz, whom am I referring to ?,,,,easy peasy lemon squeezy)




Dinosaurs are my all time favourite animal that lived millions and millions*of years ago !  Out of all the Triassic reptilian animals that existed millions of years ago, Dinosaurs are my No 1 fave.


(* For all the creationists, that's a bigger number than 6000. I know it's difficult because it;s a big number but.....try !!)




Look here's a happy bunch having their day ruined by a cataclysmic event.



A happy bunch of Dinos about to have their day ruined millions of years ago just now. Bona-fide real photo from the time.






So, as a consequence of the extinction event do ewe think it's probable that bits of dinosaurs are floating around us in orbit ?

I’m referring to the impact blast ejecting Dino space bound.



I propose we send some paleontologists up there with a net




whajafink ?




Hugs and shmishes

Oh Dino, Oh Dino

Technology / What Question Could You Ask To Determine Sentience Of An AI ?
« on: 28/06/2022 13:47:11 »
Recent news that Google may or may not have a sentient AI


Google's 'sentient AI' likened to a 7-year-old child by engineer | Metro News


so, what question could you ask it to determine if the answer is a sentient one or not ? and what specifics of the answer would determine that ?

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 !

Physiology & Medicine / Can JUST a head survive ?
« on: 27/05/2022 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.

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 !!

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 ?


whajafink ?

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

Best wishes.  (Although I've got to stop reading your threads before I sleep).

As a firm believer in empirical study
I sneaked indoors to my neighbour buddy
At 3am I found a hole
Inserted a box inside his goal


No protest as he allowed to be sedated

A calm and cool neighbour I had created
He just winced in whined and moaned in the chair
I had tied him to it so no luck there[

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / What Propels Light ?
« on: 02/08/2021 12:44:37 »
Dearest Lightologists,


As a sheepy I am of course extremely fast and I can propel myself in  a variety of ways. I can EWEs my legs, I can back myself into a corner and do a "bottom burp" ! so, this got me thinking....what makes light or any other type or radiation type stuff move ? What propels it and how does it know what direction to go ?


Like, how does light on the right hand side of a flame know to go one way and light on the other side know to go the other way ? what actually makes it move and one final kweschun, does it start off slow and then accelerate to C ?






ewe see, I don't know, but ewe telling me will help me know and I will then know !!


yayyyy...i will know stuff soon !!

General Science / Can fire cast a shadow?
« on: 16/12/2019 13:40:24 »
Dearest Fireologists,

As a sheepy I of course know almost everything there is to know but one thing that eludes me is whether fire can have a shadow !

look , here's some fire being all firey !!


Fire Being All Firey Yesterday

As ewe can see, ewe can not see through it, so, if I was to shine a big enough torch at it would it make a shadow on the other side ? i'm curious because i can't see through it yet it's a source of light !!

whajafink ?

Can A Fire Have A Shadow ?
