Useless Trivial facts

Fire bombing raids in Japan did more devastation than the atom bombs dropped there too

 

They'll get those bikes off the road eventually. Cars are much better for the economy.

 

At least some of it I have to agree with: used to be able to chirp around town nicely on a motorbike with no helmet, then came the bicycle helmet laws and that was the end of that! Let the buggers pay
Last night I was heading into town and the only way I picked up that there was a cyclist ahead of me on the bridge was the occasional "blink" of oncoming headlights as the rider appeared between me and the oncoming car. Can't believe the stupidity of riding at night with no indicator light. It should be "no offence" to run down anyone that stupid. Around here the cops would be too lazy to enforce: almost no young cyclists wear helmets and I would say I haven't yet seen a cyclist travelling in the dark showing a tail light. At the uni, half the population seems to be cyclists and they are sooooooo hot about their rights that they are the new "smokers": a menace to everyone else, no responsibility to anyone else, and aggressive in their demand for rights.

There's the hand grenade, now wait for the explosion

Thanks - I didn't know I had to wear a helmet while driving my car in NSW :lol:

 

There is no letter "Z" in the Welsh language, so when a native Welsh speaker wants to say the word "Zebra", he has to say instead "Stripe horse".

 

Im pretty sure they would just say "zebra" as they would know it was called a zebra.

 

Go to http://welshword.com/default.asp and type in Zebra...

In all fairness I don't know if that is a very good website

I see Mars (awesome) ! but the Betegeuse star, is that the one which is the bright star directly below the moon right now?

 

found this so I know now 15th Moon above Jupiter, evening sky

 

According to a leak from within US military it was faked but they did still actually go to the moon, televised moon landing had a delay and then used a prop set for the televised video feed but used the real audio feed from the mission. Apparently they did this for the exact same reason why certain areas on Google Mars are still blurred out, NASA wants to get some time to review what they find before releasing it to the world, which makes sense if you spend countless millions of dollars on something to just give away for free before you even get time to look at it yourself.

I dunno but that story seemed a bit more plausible to me than the whole, yes it's real but looks fake or it's all fake and it's just a big conspiracy.

 

^ I think there is enough proof to prove they faked the first moon landing so they could beat Russia there even though Russia wasn't going there. But hey they didn't know that at time.

The other moon landings were real though. My crystal ball said Apollo 13s failure to land on moon due to tech malfunction was BS. It did land on the moon to put Apollo 11s rover buggy and other material there to stop it ever finding out in the future that first landing was a hoax. It was always part of the plan.

 

I was sitting in a telephone exchange monitoring the live feed coming in from Parkes. The moon landing is fairdinkum!

At its closest point the Moon is 363,104 km from Earth.

 

Apollo 11 didn't have a lunar buggy.

Apollo 15 was the first mission to use a lunar buggy.

 

^ whatever equipment Apollo 11 was supposed to have left there then smarty

 

Uh-huh. Let me get this right - you're saying:

Apollo 11 was a fake; they didn't actually land on the moon.
Apollo 12 went to, and landed on the moon.
Apollo 13 landed on the moon, to leave behind "evidence" of Apollo 11, before faking the explosion on Apollo 13.
