Fun Facts

"ok , how do you mispronounce "nuance"?"

Are you really this daft?

Oh my dear Chas....

The proper response would be that if you spin an egg on the counter it will fall off. An uncooked egg will be a snack for the dog, the hard boiled egg won't.

And that's a FACT.

:-D

Yes, they are around the same age but Bush is just a little older.

Hmmm You might be right, if I'm not mistaken they're both around the same age. I have to check it out.

Just because it was in the op... Did you know if you spin an egg on the counter, a hard boiled egg will spin like a top, a raw egg will wobble.

ok , how do you mispronounce "nuance"?

Actually, Bush Sr. is the oldest living president. The news has been talking about for the last week or so, while he was in the hospital.

LOL! my poor screen!

"The word "nuclear" is also unpopular because some people just cannot pronounce it."

Is that why "nuance" is unpopular for some as well?

Put me down for all of the above.

VA,

Would you give each one a different name? or would you refer to my breasts as George? Would you hug them and pet them and squeeze them?

FF: it's 1,327 miles to Mcallen TX- home of the "Implants or real" party game..

Fun fact: I'd like to interact with your breasts.

See, we can agree and disagree, and still enjoy interacting with each other :)

FF: Jimmy Carter is the oldest president alive! He's also the dumbest asshole president in US history.

Jimmy Carter was a Naval officer involved with nuclear propulsion, but I recall him pronouncing it "new-cue-ler".

There's someone in my office whose gut bacteria produces more eye burning sulfur smelling gas than alcohol.

Fun Fact- some farts are flammable.

Waiting for someone here to try and prove that one. :-)

Well, OK to be fair - it's not that your body produces it.. it's that bugs in your GI tract produce it. I see the distinction as significant.

But, forgive me, madam... ;)

Never mind. I found it.

Certain gut bacteria produce some. Interesting.

Roc-em

Are you saying that the body itself does, or symbiotic yeast do?

I'm curious to find that information.... I admit I am skeptical of it.

The human body does make its own morphine.

The word "nuclear" is also unpopular because some people just cannot pronounce it.
If you are one of those, just say the familiar words "new clear".

In other old news, the Atomic Energy Commission was subsumed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, in 1975.
Those folks aren't scared of the word "nuclear".

Fun fact: dod you know if you hold a flashlight against a breast with a saline implant in it in a dark room, it glows? {OK stupid party trick....but how many people are now considering trying it?!?}

Fun fact:

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was originally a chemistry analytical tool known as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). It is still called NMR in the chemistry world. It was re-branded as "magnetic resonance imaging" because patients refused to allow any kind of procedure which included the word "nuclear" in the name.

Of course, the technique didn't change. Just the name.

I was trying to remember which eggs in the refrigerator were hard boiled and which were not, when an idea for a thread topic occurred to me.

Does anybody have any fun facts to share? You know, those always fun and often useless facts that just might come in handy to know someday?

For example....

Did you know that if you were to take all of the veins from your body and lay them end to end along the equator that you would die?
