Does anyone else here think that trailer parks should be arranged in concentric circles, kind of like targets for tornadoes?

[funkfool]

I think monkeys (all primates actually) are funny...




And if you don't agree...



Also: Crayons taste like purple.

Why do you think we are keeping so much of ours in the ground? One day we will own OPEC.

Word. Use all the rest of the world's oil first.

That would be kinda like circling the wagons...

Since every thread turns into a political discussion and has nothing to do with the original post I decided to post some random thoughts and see where they go. So the usual supects of the derailing here you go-

-Why is the sky blue?
-Why is water wet?
-Do maggots get drunk when they bury alcoholics?
And my personal favorite
-Which came first the chicken or the egg?
Now lets see how long this turns into Bush vs Obama, Taxes, or my politician is better than yours.

The sky is blue due to refraction of light through the ozone layer.
Water feels wet because the H2O molecule is polar. This is also why non polar solvents like acetate don't feel wet.
Maggots don't get drunk. Alcohol breaks down fairly fast in a decomposing body. Also, most states now require a coffin be buried in a semisealed concrete container, so, pretty hard for flies to survive in that environment.
As long as we currently have chickens, only the archeologists care about this question.

The iron grip of America will remain firm until some EU country developes an actual alternative technology to the modern combustion engine

I love having a resident chemist (is that what you study/do?). I will call you professor from now on.

Chemistry, criminalistics concentration, major at Metro. Far from a professor, but I spend the majority of my time studying chemistry and other material for school. I wish I had a PhD in chemistry.

Either way professor, those are some pretty damn good answers to some of the most basic and frequently answered questions... except one. Is the universe unlimited in it's expansion?

Well thats an easy one. The size of the universe was predetermined by the flying spaghetti monster 2500 years ago when the universe began. And of course, the earth is the center of that universe.
