    From memory, there was a Palestinian state back in the beginning. The Arab States attacked Israel. The Jews whipped their arses and won the war and the lands. If the Arabs won the Israeli land, would they have given it back to the Jews? I don't think so. Why do they expect to get it back?

    Please note, I am not taking sides, I'm a committed bigot, racist and sexist, I hate everyone.

    And if the Chinese made it a jar of honey would cost $6, be delicious and have a surprisingly high mercury content.

    It would take more than a hair dryer to bring my banana back to life.

    Before Ridley Scott agreed to direct Gladiator, he saw the painting Pollice Verso by Grme. In the painting the emperor gives the Roman gladiator the thumbs down for the death sentence. Scott was so captivated by this image that he decided to direct Gladiator there and then.

    Unfortunately Grme wrongly assumed that the Latin 'pollice verso' (turned thumb) meant 'turned down' when in actually means 'turned up'. In fact, the Romans didn't use a thumbs down motion at all. If death was desired, the thumb was stuck up like a drawn sword. For the losers lifer to be spared, the thumb was tucked away inside the closed fist much like a sheathed weapon.

    Just spent last 10 minutes typing out some calcs on this pad, got me intrigued. Almost hit the post button but managed to somehow delete it, very frustrating.

    Anyway based on 50,000 bees per hive, 10hr hay at $10/ hr and10 kg honey surplus a year, the figure works out to $182.5 million per kg of honey!

    Imagine you add super, penalties, leave and law suits for all the workers working themselves to death = CRAZY

    If we assume that the thickness of paper is 0.05mm thick, any clue as to how thick the paper would be if it could be folded 30 times? The answer is met with disbilief and shock: 53.7km
