Things that keep me awake in wonder...

Some text.....

if you assume a grain of sand has an average size and you calculate how many grains are in a teaspoon and then multiply by all the beaches and deserts in the world, the Earth has roughly (and we're speaking very roughly here) 7.5 x 10(to the power 18) grains of sand, or seven quintillion, five hundred quadrillion grains........ Our stargazer gets a Hubble telescope and a calculator, so now we can count distant galaxies, faint stars, red dwarfs, everything we've ever recorded in the sky, and boom! Now the population of stars jumps enormously, to 70 thousand million, million, million stars in the observable universe (a 2003 estimate), so that we've got multiple stars for every grain of sand — which means, sorry, grains, you are nowhere near as numerous as the stars.

Maybe you can believe the TRUTH now..... keep your weight a little more on the left side :rofl:

Did you not know that for many it is an uncontrovertible truth that if you cannot scientifically and unequivocally PROVE something then it cannot be true (see also existence of a God...) Pity really for those folks that so much of scientific proof and mathematics as a whole are based upon statistical probability and not certainty.

Religion, I just don't understand

I still review why if I'm in a bus and I jump the bus does not move underneath me and I land further back in the bus.

How do flys in cars not all end up pinned to the rear window (same as above)

Why invent matches when we had the cigarette lighter already?

If we went to the moon, why don't we go more often?

How do I an index match on an excel worksheet for multiple criteria

When will the old guy at work leave?

Best practice... Another oxymoron that keeps me awake!

Best practice? I want your best actual effort! Not a practice!

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

why anone would guarantee to give their best endeavours. Reasonable endeavours OK - but best? be careful with contracts you might ever have to sign

Similar to this is when a doctor is in practice I have to say I want a doctor who has had plenty of practice before he gets to me by which time i sincerely hope he is a bit of an expert
