Got one!

I so want to respond to Ron's post. But I don't want to be banned 😀
I did think that the best way would be to try it out on the lady in questions clitoris, given that the purpose is presumably sexual stimulation.
A standard l6 electricity pylon is 48m high
aircraft fill up their cabins with fume a lot more often than people think.
and my all time fave
a woman in the USA who worked as a telephone sex operator successfully sued her employer for damages as a result of over use of a vibrator on an occupational basis which resulted in damage to the circulatory system and sensory nerves in much the same way as vibration white finger although it would be more apt to think of it as vibration white fanny.
emsz, go on whisper it so no one hears??
failing that email in profile!!

y^2+x^2=1
also
i^i = e^(-pi/2) which is roughly 0.208
Therefore the ith root of e^(-pi/2) is i
If you plot the nth roots of a number on an argand diagram you get a regular n sided shape. So what happens if you tried to plot the ith roots of a number?
Use your imagination Ron

If you ask people the right question, they will tell you what you need to know.
Willow is fast growing and can be used to improve the quality of polluted soil as it will absorb heavy metals. However the resultant potash (when burned obviously) will be full of now concentrated heavy metal (think mercury) and therefore should not be used as fertiliser in the human food chain.
Building control doesn't like biomass boilers as they deliver minute particles which 'may be hazardous to human health'. Just as well we haven't been using wood for fires for thousands and thousands of years as we could all die!
The programme for iSBEM is such that the information required for input will render the results far from accurate and it comes as no surprise that buildings designed with low CO2/kg/annum don't actually deliver the low values in reality.
They don't like it up 'em (them fuzzy wuzzies...)
Wouldn't the Hg just volatilise up the flue when the wood is incinerated? Maybe things like Cu, Cr, Zn etc are the issue?

The building I used to work in in Bangor had the highest energy efficiency rating, which always puzzled me seeing as the solar pannels were over the glass roof, so we had to turn the lights on...
Moet, as in, Moet et Chandon the champagne, is pronounced Mow-it not Mow-aye as nearly everyone in the UK wrongly pronounces it (thinking it French presumably). Moet has umlarts over the e, it's a dutch or German surname. Not sure that's very interesting tho 😳

Nah, they were cunning: minimising solar gain obviously... 😉
Don't really know about the HM's other than them being, well, heavy, they would sink rather than float up the flue... no?
Two of England's major gas transmission pipelines cross each other underneath a unsecured field.
The calorific value of gas stated on your bill is probably higher than it should be.
PTFE evolves Phosgene gas if burnt.
for an event lasting more than 6 hours with an attendance of 100,000 people based on a 50/50 split men and women, presuming that the audience will consume an average amount of food, drink and drugs the recommended number of toilets is 600 toilets and 334 urinals.
Thats a lot of poo and wee
Dry cleaning is not "dry".
The line above the symbol means the garment needs a delicate cycle - a reduction of the cycle duration and the temperature at which it operates.
sorry.

good reason for that, inhalation of thorasic and respirable sized particles from the combustion of wood can contain all sorts of delightful little carcinogens depending on the wood being burned and all the metals which may have bio-accumulated will also be released, in additon you can also get other pollutants such as carbon monoxide,nitrogen oxides, benzene, butadiene, formaldehyde and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
The world health organisation and various others have carried out long term studies that show that there is a significantly higher rate of lung disease in people who use fires within the home as a dominant heat/cooking source.
"PTFE evolves Phosgene gas if burnt"
No it doesn't but if heated to above 600 degrees C it can liberate perfluoroisobutylene which is a listed chemical warfare agent. It's a lot more toxic (about 10 time) than phosgene which can be liberated when chlorinated hydorcarbons are heated. A common one was welding stuff that had been cleaned with trichloroehtylene and still had residues on.
sorry, just done some research work on fire retardants using PTFE, god I'm a geek

TJ have you used this list for reference as well?
1. Ghost: The kind where you feel it come out but there is nothing
in the toilet.
2. Clean: The kind where you poo it out, see it, but there is
nothing on the toilet paper.
3. Wet: The kind where you wipe your butt at least 90 times and it
feels unwiped so you have to put some toilet paper between your butt
and your underwear so you won't ruin your pants.
4. Second Wave: It happens when you're finished and you've
pulled your pants up to your knees and you realize you have to go
some more.
5. Pop-A-Vein-In-Your-Head: The kind where you strain so much to get it out you practically have a stroke.
6. Richard Simmons: You poo so much you lose 30 pounds.
7. Lincoln Log : The kind of poo that is so huge that you are afraid
to flush the toilet without breaking it into little pieces with the
toilet brush.
8. Gassy: It's noisy; everyone within earshot is giggling.
9. Drinker: The kind of poo you have the morning after a long night
of drinking. It's most noticeable trait is the tread marks on the
bottom of the toilet.
The Fire gasses in a house fire (smoke) have lower and higher limits of flammability than acetylene and propane combined.
A deflagration is a sub sonic explosion
A backdraught occurs when a long burning fire becomes fuel rich fire due to a lack of oxygen or other supporter of combustion. This fire dies back almost to the point of extinction but usually smoulders continuing to create unburnt products of combustion (smoke). This compartment then has a source of oxygen introduced, usually by the opening of a door or window by fire crews or failing of a compartments structure. This introduction of oxygen enables an extremely rapid development of the fire to it's ideal mixture. This rapid development is extremely dangerous and will quite often lift the roof off the house.
It is possible to perform a J-turn at speeds as low as 14mph
Contrary to what Clarkson et al would have you believe, leaving traction control/stabilty programme on will not slow you down, you just look less exciting and probably live longer.
BMW cars tend to be more stable at high speed in reverse than other makes if car.
A Vauxhall Omega 3ltr v6 auto will top 90 in reverse but is incredibly unstable; blink and you're gone.
Fully kitted up whilst at work I weigh over 3 stone heavier.
The treatment for methanol poisoning is alcohol, we use vodka down a naso-gastric tube, essentially keeping people drunk for a day or two.
In an oil and gas field the hydro carbons are stored in the pores of the rock, so even though it is called a reservoir it is not like a reservoir at surface.

that's proper learning, right there.
Mildred what do you do? You're the stig arent you?
A couple of weeks in the winter laying concrete blocks pretty much wears your finger prints away, just in time for xmas 'shopping'.
From the view out of my office window, it appears that Hotwheels (Cycle Sales Group) have about 10 HGVs of bikes going in or out every day - that's a lot of bikes.

Local Councils and communities... while embracing Banksys works with open arms.. still disapprove of most other street art..
Also.. If you glue together two nozzles the opposite way up so that the nozzles squirt into each other.. (this can be ensured with a small bit of pipe) you will find that you can spray paint from the upright can into the upturned can and thus mix your own colours..!
Depth of field and depth of focus are two completely different things.
The WBD on a JSF takes 6 people to manually lift on and off the aircraft.
R=l÷r, where R is the fall factor, l is the lengh of fall and r is the length of rope
a fall factor of 1 is barely acceptable, however a fall factor of 2 or greater will injur or worse
Harness induced pathoogy occurs when a casualty lies suspended in a harness without movement between
8 and 15min, the blood pools in the legs due to restricive harness, if rescued in time the casualty must remain sitting, if the casualty stands up the thickened blood to the legs re enters the bloodstrean and can cause death
a fall factor of 1 is barely acceptable, however a fall factor of 2 or greater will injury or worse
exception - if your second can run downhill very quickly....

From 2016 new dwellings will have to be ‘zero carbon’, but few new dwellings will replace existing ones; the average replacement rate of the housing stock, during the last fifty years, has been less than 1% per year. This means that, in any one year, only 0.03% of carbon dioxide emissions are associated with the new homes built that year
and 99.7% of emissions are associated with dwellings built in previous years. Over 80% of the current stock of homes will still be standing and occupied in 2050. Therefore the required 80% reduction in emissions associated with energy use in housing cannot be achieved without significant improvement in the energy efficiency of existing homes.
the emergency ladders at the side of the clyde in glasgow city centre were measured incorrectly and as a result are too short if someone falls in at anytime other than high tide
The minimum control speed in flight for an A320 with one engine failed is 119 knots.
A rule of thumb for working out the weight of a child is: (age + 4) x 2 = weight in kg.
(and with regard to the pacemakers thing... they use large magnets to turn them on and off too so putting yourself into an MRI scanner will turn your pacemaker off - not necessarily a good thing)

Most enjoyable thread I've seen in ages. I can't find anything to back it up but... I read that the LCC Rocket could go up to 100mph in reverse, thus making it potentially the fastest reversing car. Mildred, what do you do?
Falling under a slow/stopping train will usually kill you very slowly and painfully as you get wrapped up in the gubbins under the train and effectivly you get squashed and held together at the same time. There is then normally a period of many minutes to several hours as the emergency services try to figure out the best extraction process for the casualty. The extraction process allows you to bleed out internally.
