Thats pretty cool.
It's possible to lead a cow upstairs...but not downstairs.

So... how do you get it upstairs in the first place?

I have no idea, but im sure it would be fun

More people in the UK die every year from bee stings than MDMA (methylenedioxymethamphetamine, the active ingredient in ecstacy) overdose.

Ban the Bee.

If you take any volume of water, say 500ml, there are a greater number of molecules of water in that volume than there are repetitions of that volume in all the world's water.

That possibly wasn't explained very well. Perhaps better to say that there are more molecules in a glass of water than there are glasses of that volume of water on the planet.

Haha - it's just a pointless fact, wasn't insinuating anything

111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321

At a jet plane's speed of 1,000 km (620mi) per hour, the length of the plane becomes one atom shorter than its original length.

Source? *NM googled it. Weird. I'm surprised it's not more actually, as I'd imagine that the plane loses a lot of atoms just from air resistance 'knocking' them off.

Concorde grows in length by about 8 inches in flight.
(Source: Google 'concorde expands' pdf link, first hit).

If the plane does then surely the people do as well

I expand by 8 inches quite often

A lump of gold the size of a matchbox can be beaten flat enough and thin enough to cover a tennis court.
Related to the above gold can be beaten thin enough to be translucent but it helps to block out the suns harmful rays which is why it is used in astronauts visors.
The term Mayday comes from the French venez m'aider - i.e. you come and help me.

Joe Louis was world heavyweight champion for 12 years between 1937 - 1949 and defended his title over 25 times, a record likely not to be broken.

The sun contains 10^56 particles.

Trust the french for that one.


No "please help me" or "i need help", no it's "you come here here and help me now dammit!"

If i've understood this right, a 1 yoctolitre glass of water contains more molecules than the amount of yoctolitres in the worlds water?

1 yoctolitre is 10^-24, you did say any amount of water

1 gram of antimatter would cost $100 quadrillion using current technology.

No, I've done it all very, very wrong. There's actually a specific volume of water, which may well be about a glass (250ml).
