    Questions you've always wondered . . . . . .

    I often wonder 'when a bald man is washing his face how high up does he go?'

    What would happen to me if I got scared half to death twice?

    Not sure about the bald man but for the second one you'd have a quarter left :-)

    Yes, the "half-life" curve is asymptotic.

    The answer to the bald man question is that we wash to the same line as those with hair. This isn't so much through force of habit, but rather a somewhat futile effort to build up a thin film of grime that gives the impression of emerging stubble.

    If a woman's work is never done, how come they have so much time for buying shoes, clothes, handbags and talking to their mums on the phone and finding infinite amounts of crap on Facebook "interesting"?

    That's why it's never done...

    Regarding the first point, I once heard somebody define "countryside" as the intentional killing of Piers Morgan, which I momentarily considered a little harsh.

    If you put hot liquid in a thermos it keeps it hot, if you put cold liquid it keeps it cold - but how does it know?

    Was it invented before or after 6 July 1189?

    Do crabs think we walk sideways?
    Do turtles think we move way too fast?
    If you are half way up, aren't you also half way to the bottom?

    Why is it always:
    The last pint you drank (but never the 15 before it)
    Or, the take away, that's to blame?

    When you order soup with a half sandwich, who gets the other half?

    I can be ironic & thus express irony.

    If I'm sardonic, what am I expressing?

    Running on the road is hard, you have to move yourself along using your legs at speed against the wind sustaining your kinetic energy.

    Running up a hill is harder, you have all of the above + gravity to contend with as you gain potential energy.

    Why is it harder to run on an inclined treadmill than a flat treadmill when you are not gaining height on either ?

    Position your cursor at the top of this guy's head:


    In the first part you'll see that his head hardly moves. Once he releases his grip he's moving up and down. Up when he steps forward and down as the treadmill lowers him...hence he is effectively always stepping uphill and expending more energy than on the flat, however he doesn't gain height overall. But you probably already knew that...
