General Science / ?Am I smarter than the mouse?
« on: 10/11/2011 13:11:34 »
M comes up thru gas stove onto the countertop & raids food left there. 2 nites ago, I left a flank bone & M raids & tries to drag bone down into stove but its too big. I put the bone back on countertop & yesterday I hear M moving the bone, this time he tries a different burner hole to no avail so I left the bone where M left it in the burner hole. Last nite, I left an opened plastic bag loaf of bread on the countertop [forgot] & this morn the bread is untouched! = Wonder if M is going for the bone & forgetting the countertop raid

Geek Speak / Can I amplify the signal from my television aerial?
« on: 21/08/2011 13:34:56 »
New aerial tv signal [digital,vhf,uhf] in the US. My antenna is high abve roof,properly aimed. Got a 18db amplifier on the tv end which i tried on antenna end already with no diff. Q= Can I connect another amp in series with the first so that 2 amplifiers will boost the signal? & How effective might this be? 18dB boost + 18DB boost = 36 DB total boost? Any concerns over "noise" interference?...........thanx
As is, weather affects some channels sometimes so they dont come in at all.

General Science / ?how does gravity affect a top?
« on: 15/07/2011 16:39:40 »
gravity pull is from 1 direction & not earth's gravity which is holding the top down. Q1= does it make any diff if the top is spinning or not [assuming top remains upright without spin]? Q2= does it make diff if external gravity pull [not earth's] pulls from above the top or from the side of the top?
