Sure Tako! You can collect them here. http://www.crazythoughts.com/

actually animals can get depressed and refuse to eat thus killing themselves.


actually at that point they are considered pregnant.


as long as they are accompanied by an adult, yes. Or if the Theater lets them in because Movie ratings aren't a law, more like guidelines that theaters agree to follow.


actually they can, dandruff is dead skin cells on the scalp, has nothing to do with hair.


Seeing that ppl may show up after the start of the movie the theater will go ahead and show it but the movie will probably be dropped soon after if no one is going to see it.


Looks like you were a bit off Tak...there were others but im not going to answer stupid questions.

i'll take that cookie now if it does ya fine...

Lol animals get depressed?

really?

There's a method to weigh a plane in flight?

the laws of physics....

wait but will it really weight 2000 pounds more

Yes, they had this on mythbusters. The amount of air the push down is equal to how much the way. Something like that.

XemnasXD, be specific. Somebody could say the laws of physics prove you don't exist - but unsubstantiated opinion a law does not define.
I've seen that episode also, and yes - they conclude it is plausible, not a myth. In other words, the plane does weight 2,000 pounds more and they do not disprove the myth (but they admit that they don't conclusively prove it either). The problem? Trying to devise an acceptable method of weighing a plane in flight.

~Granps

I was bound to make a few mistakes. But you won't get my cookie.

I read ghostbusters. x)

a plane in flight ways just as much as a plane on the ground

Animals get happy.
...

I only said that it is difficult to prove, not that it was true or untrue. The act of weighing things does not include making unproven statements about them. Your statement above didn't include the weight of birds flying inside the plane and is obviously untrue and quite easy to disprove.

GRAVITATIONAL FORCE:
(G * m1 * m2) / (d)²
where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects for which you are calculating the force, and d is the distance between the centers of gravity of the two masses.

In this case the first object would be the Earth, the second object would be the plane and the DISTANCE would by definition increase if the plane were flying. Of course, you could try to get all slippery about it and say, what if the plane took off from the top of a mountain and then descended - the plane then would actually gain weight - but your statement that it is the same is still wrong.

The Universal Law of Gravitation states that the force of attraction is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. When another poster said "The Laws of Physics" (proved his case) I replied "Be specific" because I know of no conclusive method of weighing a plane in flight. If you do, fine. Simply describe it.

~Granps

Doesn't it use up jet fuel while in flight, lightening it?

1) Siamese twins are born through C-section. Thus meaning they both come to the world at the same time.

2) Hmm, hardly any computers have 'start' on the I/O button.

I'm quite sure they're referring to mass and not weight. And mass is independent of any gravitational force. Else they wouldn't use pounds in the question.

Yes, you're correct of course and I struggled with the wording of what I was trying to say. I was specifically responding to another post when I said that. The one that said that distance from the earth didn't matter - a plane will always weigh the same on the ground, in flight, anywhere.

You should check out (verify) my statements on the Bullet Trajectory Does anybody know the flightpath of a projectile thread too -
lol... sometimes what I think I'm saying doesn't quite come out exactly how I mean it.

~Granps

most of the questions are so stupid...
and i cant believe one of u spent the time to answer all of them

only thing in thread that made me lol.
