Cells, Microbes & Viruses / If we're spending millions on finding a cure for AIDS, why haven't we found one yet?

« on: 31/08/2008 07:01:12 »

hahahaahaha I'm sorry Moron, if only I could reach your status.

OK it may not have been intercourse, maybe somebody was chopping up a chimp already killed to cook, and cut his finger and the blood mixed with the chimps.

But if I'm the moron, explain how Aids came about in the first place?

General Science / Could a coin really land tail-side up 1000 times in a row?

« on: 31/08/2008 06:51:32 »

Xin, I understand what you're getting at and life and the universe will in time, be explained by science.

I'm sorry to say this but, if god did create the universe, and us.. then who made god?

Rather than believing in god creating the universe, then having the problem of explaining who made god, I'd rather just have the problem of explaining how the universe came to be.

Many people believe in god for their own personal reasons, maybe you find strength from god. But how could anybody ever seriously use god as a FACT of creation for the universe. It's like a very old fairy tale passed through generations. Peoples belief in god is faiding, hardly anybody goes to church on a Sunday anymore. More so, if for not believing in god I'm going to go to hell, then great. I just hope I can take some kebabs to cook on the flames.

Now back to the point you're making of basically saying maths in science does not work. If you believe life was created by god for the reason scientists can't make a mathematical model of the chances that were taken to take us to this point - existence, please put a little more thought into it. If you want to keep this simple, and look at it as flipping as a coin which was how you started your theory of incorrect science. Then think about this, think of the coin being flipped, it has to land on heads a thousand times in a row before life is created. The coin will, eventually, given billions of years of being flipped, produce a thousand heads in a row.

But if you still disbelieve Science and maths, if we had more people like you in the world, we would of never left the gravitational pull of the earth. And possibly still believe in a real kingdom in the clouds.

Chemistry / What is the difference between an "atomic" and a "nuclear" bomb?

« on: 31/08/2008 06:07:56 »

Wow, the Russians exploded a bomb that was 3000times more powerful than Hiroshima? World War 3 will definetly be the end of man if countrys have bombs that powerful..

What percentage of the population in the UK have aids?

Aid's is scary stuff, but how Aids started is interesting though. The most widely accepted scientific theory is that it was started by an African who had intercourse with a genetically mutated chimp. The chimp had aids, so the African caught it off the chimp.
It is possible that it was created in a lab, and somehow got out into the population.

The worst thing though is that you can actually get aids from just oral sex, although it is rare. Many people don't believe that, but google it, its true.

and people think I come out with moronic stuff.

All what I said then was true. So yes you do come out with moronic stuff...

General Science / If we're paralysed whilst sleeping, how do we sleep walk and sleep talk?

« on: 05/08/2008 09:30:28 »

What JNA was referring to is called sleep paralysis.
Type it in on this forum and read some interesting stories.

When you go to sleep your brain injects a chemical into your body that paralises you while you sleep. People sleep walking haven't had this happen and thats why they act out their dreams. Its not dreams they can get up go to the fridge for food have conversations with people and some have even murdered people in their sleep.

Technology / why does my mobile (cell) phone lose it's signal?

« on: 05/08/2008 08:24:55 »

I never thought of that, techmind, interesting stuff.

But is it true that mobile phone transmitters are really quite cancerous because of the radioactivity?

Say if you lived on the doorstep of one of them for 50 years, how much would your chances of getting cancer go up by? Does anybody roughly know the answer?

General Science / Re: Could a coin really land tail-side up 1000 times in a row?

« on: 05/08/2008 08:17:38 »

I'm no good at maths at all. But what your saying about flipping a coin doesn't relate to the way scientists predict something in reality, its fact based rather guess work. Flipping a coin and it landing on heads or tails is 50/50, a pure guess. You can't give us this and then apply that to every time a scientists uses mathematics it must be wrong.

Take 2 + 1 = 3. We both know this to be correct.

You must of heard of H20? Water.

Hydrogen 2, oxygen 1. Put them together = H20 (water)

But because you flipped a coin thats now wrong? lololololol

New Theories / Did we land on the moon?

« on: 05/08/2008 08:06:43 »

This is something I won't take sides on. The evidence for us not landing on the moon are:
The pictures where the light from the sun is shining on rocks but the shadows are going in two different directions, suggesting lights facing the astronauts but at different distances apart from eachother.
The flag waving on the moon, apparently there is no wind.
There would have been a blast crater under the pod that landed on the moon.

I get the drift most of the scientists or 'science fans' should I say, agree with the fact we went to the moon but does anybody know about a planned return to the moon?

Just Chat! / Tips for American visitors to the UK

« on: 05/08/2008 07:32:25 »

The monkey pictures of dear old GW reminded me that I've received a bit of hate mail following my comment on a recent show that "scientists have seen one of the smallest things in the universe...other than George Bush's brain...the hydrogen atom"

Got a few people hot under the collar that one. One person even said he'd be getting his education and entertainment elsewhere from now on.

And much as it pained me to say it, I had to point out that his self-imposed deprivation probably will be hurting him more than me...

But seriously, where has the sense of humour gone these days; are we destined to live in a world so politically correct and straight-laced that you can no longer have a joke at anyone's expense? If so I want no part of it.

Chris

I actually remember you saying that, I was running down the road with my mp3 player and I remember it messing up my breathing because it made me laugh.

We live in an age were you cant call a black board a black board, its now called a chalk board. Politics goes so deep that politicians confuse themselves these days. Its like children making jokes in school. Say for example one child leaves a butty on the table. The butty is right next to a fat child. Another child sees the butty by the fat child an says 'DONT LEAVE IT THERE FATBOY MIGHT NOT RESIST HIS EURGE 2 MUNCH IT'. I, at my age of 20 would laugh at that situation.

But it does come to a time, when that boy being fat, has taken enough abuse, it may come to a select few who persist with the name calling, and then it turns into bullying. Situations like this teaches children to know to stop when you hurt somebodys feelings. It also toughens up the ones on the receiving end.

If you're fat you're fat, black you're black, Chinese you're Chinese, American you're stupid.

What I'm trying to point out here, is that harmless, insulting, funny jokes are just that, funny.

You did well to plug a politically incorrect joke on your show, I mean where would Jeremy Clarkson be today if he just focused on cars and facts and didn't have a personality.

Props to Chris.

Also Chris and Kat do say some funny things to eachother that makes me mess up my breathing when I'm running.

Just Chat! / Do you know any Tricks

« on: 06/07/2008 17:42:51 »

Pick up the deck and sort out the Queens, Aces, Kings, an Jacks.
Then find a 10 of any suit.

Now put the 10 on the table, explain this 10 is a rich man, who lives in a massive manchen, and so people dont try to burgel him he has security. Then place all the kings ontop of eachother at one side, and do the same for the queens aces and jacks on all the sides.
Now explain that, the jacks aren't very well trained security guards, the aces are the best trained securiy guards, and kings and queens come inbetween.
So, the smart thing for the rich man to do (card number 10) is to arrange it so that he has one of each security guard surrounding him.
So he takes all his security guards (pick them all up so youve got a stack of all the aces kings queens and jacks together) and has a meeting.

Now you pass those cards, leaving the 10 on the table to somebody and cut them, then swap them over.

Now place one at each side of the 10 turned upside down, going round the 10 placing only one on each side at a time.

Then when you turn them over their should be one of each security guard around the rich man! [:0]

Geek Speak / Who Sent The Email?

« on: 06/07/2008 17:22:15 »

Thank you Eth and RD.  So could us measly peasants trace it through their IP address or does that have to be done through law enforcement?

You can find your own IP if you go to dos (command promt) and type in   
ipconfig/all

And typing this you can see what other IP's you are connected to. Like if you send a file over MSN this would make a connection between the two IP's and thats how you can find somebodys IP.

But on hotmail the IP would probably encrypted so you'd have to know about decoding it.

Technology / Are bank cash machines running on Windows?

« on: 03/07/2008 12:35:14 »

The most annoying thing about banks is when you use the cash machine and ask for say £100 and it gives you £30. Then when you put the card in to see how much is in the account its actually taken the £100 out. Then when you go into the bank the person is like 'Yeah we where expecting somebody to come in and tell us this'. Asif it just happens all the time, and its happend THREE TIMES to me. Swear next time it happens I'm going to sue for compensation lol

Surely it would, because their is less matter underneath you pulling you towards it, like the gravity on larger planets is stronger.

Geek Speak / DVD Burning software

« on: 03/07/2008 11:45:31 »

What software do you use to burn your DVDs?

I've reformatted my computer because I had loads of adware from downloading programmes with hidden baddies inside lol. I used to use Nero but the new versions of it are horrible, and they are the ones mostly about. But aswel as that, they come with programmes that just take up memory and never get used anyway.

So if anybody knows of any programme to burn video files (.avi .mpg etc) to DVD so that they will play in most DVD players, with an easy to use interface that is preferably free, please help me out and tell me one!
Thanks !  []
