Panaracer Mach SS cross tyres need to be at 75psi to allow one to ‘rag’ ones crosser. Pressures below this make the bike feel like its riding through treacle.

I invented the Pot Noodle.

You bloody liar, I invented the Pot Noodle and to a lesser extent, the Pot Rice.

Just outside Madrid there is a village called Daganzo de Arriba (Upper or Higher Daganzo), but there isn’t a corresponding Daganzo de Abajo (Lower Daganzo). 😯
It is important…

My weight and blood pressure are a lot lower than they were when I started eating the iDave way, 2 months ago.

And they’re lower than they were about 10 years ago too.

Just tested Michelin all mountains and I like them, more surprising than interesting… but they look cool.

You personally may find this interesting Mol, because there will be uber cool people there discussing the why’s of modern art ad nauseum..

Great Birds of the British Isles are four female artists,
Milk, K148, Dora and Amour currently living and working in Bristol, England.
They bring site-specific beautification, to exhibition spaces and disused shops, the diamonds in the rough.
The collective formed in 2009, working closely together incorporating their visuals and individual styles, whilst all concentrating on their own creations – their delusions of grandeur, in the feathered revolution.

The birds combine paintings, prints and photography, with their use of colour, form and essence, allowing the viewer to find each space unique.
Spreading their wings, dropping their liquid styles onto the walls and floors. Decorating, and simplifying, all in one stroke.
Tails become entwined for the 3rd time, the birds are back to 4 again,
a hefty 2 year wait is over and they’re back in their hometown.
We take you up a floor to,

The Upper gallery,
The Island,
Bridewell St,
Bristol, BS1 2LE.

16th-24th July – 12-7pm daily.

On a pedestrian crossing, underneath the box with the ‘press and wait’ button on it, there is a knob (like a volume control) pointing downwards towards the floor, which rotates when the beeps are going to give blind/deaf people a tactile way of telling them it’s safe to cross the road.

Marilyn Monroe had six toes. On one foot. I forget which one.

Nice one BigJohn

You can see the Great Wall of China from space.

Maybe.

luton is a really nice town

Poole has the largest “natural” harbour in the world..

This is an urban myth.

I’ve played pool in Poole. I’ve also played Carcassonne in Carcassonne, and am really looking forward to visiting Lesbos some day.

This is an urban myth.

yeah, I bet the average motorway is wider that the Great Wall of China.

The Great Wall of China is longer than your average motorway.

just blind people, deaf people can see the green man 😉

blind people can hear the beeps 😉

some people are deaf and blind.

I suspect it helps whoever needs helping.

Not especially cool, but interesting: stretching doesn’t stop you from feeling sore info here

Length of English motorway/trunk road (i.e. not local roads) = Length of English coastline.

IIRC, what you can see is a dust cloud built up along the Wall.

I was meant to be in Beijing next week and was going to go and see it, but now I’m not going. 🙁

Any coastline is theoretically infinitely long, the more close and detailed your measurements the longer it gets

The English coastline is infinitely long. Fractals, innit.

Gah. Beaten to it!

ITV are overprotective of some of their documents and it’s starting to annoy me 🙁

nah can’t be. The coast line of Peter Viggers’ duck pond is smaller than the coast line of the Americas.

Yes but space starts just a few miles up. Get to 50 miles and you’ve achieved astronaut status.

Genuine fractals can’t exist in the real world, the idea that any coastline is infinite is merely a metaphor that in reality doesn’t hold. The coastline of Britain is finite (as are all coastlines).

But just to be pedantic..

nah can’t be. The coast line of the isle of Wight is smaller than the coast line of the Americas.

Just because two things are infinite doesn’t mean they’re the same size. You can have different size infinities.

For example,

lim (x->inf) of x = inf

but the lim (x->inf) of x^x = inf too

Surely for large x, x^x > x ?

lim (x->inf) of x = inf

but the lim (x->inf) of x^x = inf too

Surely for large x, x^x > x ?

that is definitely cool and interesting in some circles… 8)

Yeah, IGMC.

The height of an elephant equals the circumference of its foot.

I can fit an entire orange in my mouth, peel it in my mouth and gob the bits back out, thanks to;

A: spending a lot of time working with and observing the behavior of greater primates

and

B: Having a mouth like a black hole

What’s that plane?

The Great Wall of China and Space the Answer

So yes they can be seen but no not the only object.

Yeti’s exist but aren’t a primate, they’re a type of rare bear which walks with it’s rear paw stepping into the front paw marks making it look like a long foot.

The root cause of a bug I was looking into earlier today was that the date being passed into the database was not being translated into a recognised Oracle format.

The tailwind I had on the way to work was indeed a chronic headwind on the way home today.

The selection of a new car you share with your wife is not easy …

Sorry none of this is interesting or cool.

Infinite things aren’t any size at all, they’re infinite. So that’s a semantically invalid sentence you have there.

Some branches of particle physics research deny the existence of infinity.

Partly because of logical calculation. Mostly because it messes up their equations, and they’d be better off without it (and they might get another research grant).

Infinity exists as a mathematical construct – whether or not anything in physics is infinite is another question.

If you ever get stuck in an avalanche, the best way to get out is to dribble what ever way the dribble goes, dig the other way to get out. FACT

I want to see a video of that 😀

Define size. There’s many people who would disagree with you I think.

In reality? Seems fairly obvious. In mathematics, maybe not.
