    Another one about the US....

    Loads of kids in the US were asked to name a Famous Christian.

    Ned Flanders was the highest given answer (even more than Jesus or God).

    :lol: :lol: :lol: @ Americans.

    I saw it on a bastard test, i think loads of other tests that have been on here came from the same web-site

    two of the questions were "Have you ever spat in someone's face?" and "What religion are you?"

    at the end it tells you catholics are face-spitters!

    Phil, that's not nice ya know, stop hockling in peoples faces, even if they are proddy bastards!

    (interesting to see how this develops, I'm off home, see you all tonight!)

    that happens when they think - "right, we can't possibly milk this any more" at the end of a movie, so it's safe to kill the main babe off, then they realise the dead horse is still twitching, so have to make something stupid happen to put her back in the movie

    Think it's called "Deux ex machina" machine of the gods, summik like that

    Kinda like when Bruce Willis can dodge bullets from 20 uzis, but can bring down a chopper with one shot from a pistol, Total fucking bullshit, that's why it's a shit movie

    A war one.

    The America's shot first at Pearl Harbor. They destroyed a Jap submarine about 2 hours before the main battle/slaughter.

    Makes you wonder how they could claim that it was a surprise attack really.

    Marvin the Paranoid Android from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy was based on a guy who the author (Douglas Adams) went to university with.

    The guy in question taught music at my comp school and actually taught me for a year.

    (How cool?) :D

    That's not necessarily true though. If a tree falls in a forest, but nobody's around to hear it fall, does it still make a sound?

    Anyway, even if the 'big bang' didn't literally happen, theoretically it did. Or possibly did anyway, depends upon your beliefs.

    Personally, I don't put the creation of the Earth solely down to science. Otherwise we couldn't be so well-designed and adapted.

    Hey, maybe we're an experiment for life in Andromeda or another Galaxy. Certainly seems like it, considering we've become too technological, and the world could quite easily be ended quicker than it began.

    It does, but no one is around to enjoy the sound pressure waves.

    Exactly. Although in Space there's no atmosphere, so there's nothing for the waves to be made in, which is why you can't hear.

    That's a good point actually.

    Just an assumption I suppose, considering I've never been into space.

    Waves of light. Light also moves in waves and to transmit most telecoms they use waves with a very small wavelength (microwaves).

    This light is not visible to the human eye and can travel through space and even solid walls (for a short distance).



    I think that is all correct.

    Satellite transmissions are a form of radio wave, which do not need a medium to travel through.

    but how can you have a wave if you have nothing to disturb?

    Some waves don't have to disturb anything to travel. The wave is a form of energy in itself. Sound, on the other hand, starts from a force that effectively compresses a section of air, and this compression is then passed onto neighbouring sections and so on and so on, which is how sound travels. We can hear sound as our ear drum can feel the compressions, which our brain then translates into what we understand as sound.

    but if it ins't compressing anything then doesn't it have to be a stream of particles?
