+Jango & Boba Fett Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Don't get me wrong, I am no physisist (sp?) this is somthing I have learnt about through work.....see profile. Wo Wo a clue, but still not getting me past the bar tricks and Area 51 notions. However I have noticed a strange similarity.

Fiona Eliza & Florence Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Not sure who to DING! Yes you both have it. The example I was thinking of is the way the sink plug 'bounces' off the stream of water from the tap as it dangles alongside while you clean your teeth, although we all now turn the tap off while scrubbing. We use the coanda effect as a method of supporting ventilation in premeture and brain damaged babies at work but that gets even more complex. You now have the entirity of my physics knowledge contained on one topic! Glad you had a sleepless night J &BF, I did too but thats coz that baby has forgotten how to sleep properly! Link to comment
+Jango & Boba Fett Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Here's one courtesy of Boba - so try asking your 11 year old for some help answering it. How many Forms of Lightsabre Combat are there? - I am meant to add some other stuff but I don't understand what it means; something to do with combat forms. I'd better post this before I'm swiped around the head by plastic Lightsaber (again). Link to comment

+Kitty Hawk Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 (edited) Woke him up specially, he perked up when he knew why but he's grumpy as hell this morning :-) It's kind of like revenge, he's been waking me up in the middle of the night on & off for 7 years. Anyway, question - Is oxygen flammable? EDIT to add - he's not talking right now, but if I did let him set a question you'd definately end up with an obscure question from Star Wars like having to give the middle name of one of the monsters in the bar in episode 4 (Episode 1 to you and me) or answer an equally obscure question about Yu-Gi-Oh. Further EDIT - he's got wind of what is happening, give me a moment, we'll have a Star Wars Question ignore Q1 Further Further EDIT - after a good aborted question with the answer being Jango Fett (Doh) we have moved on to this one - How do Chewbacca, Han & Leia arrive in the Ewok village Edited August 3, 2006 by Kitty Hawk Link to comment
+The Golem Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 Leia was befriended by Wicket after they fought a scout-trooper together and I assume she was taken there, Chewie and Han (along with the Luke and the droids) were captured in a net and carried on poles to the village.

+Jango & Boba Fett Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Ah well at least I managed to spell Ankylosaurus. Here's a variation on an ever popular pub quiz question: How many lochs are there in England? - NB to all spelling fiends. The standardisation of Irish & Scottish Gaelic spelling means that English place names with Gaelic elements may not reflect current usage/spelling. Link to comment
+Jango & Boba Fett Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 none? A what a pity you're not familiar with the Geography of Cumbria or you might have a head start on all those soft southern cachers. Have a look here Golem to get you started. Link to comment
+Jango & Boba Fett Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Anything with Lough count? What you mean like Loughborough and Loughton , nope it has to be an actual wet watery lough/loch. I'll accept ±1 if you can name another example of an English Loch - you could always try phoning a friend in Northumberland, Cumberland or Westmoreland. {normally the question is how many Lakes are there in Scotland to which the answer is 1 = Lake of Menteith - there are some other but they are man made, and one the Altrieve Lake which is actually a river} Link to comment
+Jango & Boba Fett Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Still waiting, so just to keep your brain cells working: Halleypike Loch, Hadrain's wall, Northumberland Loughrigg Tarn, Lake District, Cumbria Monkfield Lough, Hadrian's Wall, Cumbria - more of a bog really The Lough, Lindisfarne Thorngill Lough, near Alston, Cumbria Thurstonfield Lough , near Carlise, Cumbria ....... name another English Lough and if you're close enough on the number it's all yours.
