Heres an interesting fact for you...

When asked to post a random fact on a popular forum many posters will start spouting off random facts found by using a search engine yet they will try to pass it off as their own and then try to back it up with arguments and counter arguments that were also generated by said search engine



Now for a very interesting fact:

Hitler had a German shepherd Dog/Alsation called Blondi (i will never forget that for as long as i live)

wow who have thunk it
german shepherd dogs were renamed during the war


Gold is used as a thin film in astronauts visors because gold reflects heat better than any other metal.

Gold is used in the engine bay of a mcclaren F1 for similar reasons
The same car uses the engine from a BMW M8, a prototype never released to the public due to the early 90's recession and all working cars were destroyed after the F1 release.

A BMW 840i now sold second hand for 3k uses a similar engine to a McLaren F1

how about - the idea that people use only 10% of their brain is nonsense. everybody uses 100% of their brain otherwise it wouldn't be there. some use it better than others ;)

A simple look at brain scans will show us that the brain modulates dramatically from one moment to the next in regards to its activity and usage. Here it is then, on the screen of Functional MRI machines and Pet scans, incontrovertible evidence that we do not use all of our brain all of the time.

Fixed!
 
The myth is that 90% of our brain 'potential' is permanently unused, which is meant to suggest the capacity for telekinesis or telepathy or whatever. Brain scans clearly show all of the brain is used, just not at the same time.

exactly, thats what i was saying.
 
there are over 600,000 man hole covers in new york city, each weights over 300lbs and contains one of over 400 possible designs.

came from my zoo york hoodie.

Of course there is? Take a random variable X with a probaility density function supported between a and b , the P(X>b+1) =0.

And no matter how infinite time is if the P(X>b+1) = 0 . X will never be greater than b+1.

EDIT: Simple example

John is born on the 01,01,1970 and Bob is bornon the 01,01,1971, Bob and John have infinite life spans. What's the probability that John is older than Bob?

I think maybe you switched the names mistakenly if you were going for the 'probability of 0' as opposed to the 'probability of 1' example.

Even if the names were switched however, and you were assuming the probability of Bob being older than John is 0 as John was born one year before Bob, or otherwise completely impossible, you'd be technically incorrect. Hypothetically John could enter a vessel that travels faster than the speed of light and begin orbiting the Earth for an untold amount of years, during this journey actually aging at a slower rate than Bob does because of time slowing down at that speed, and finally emerging on the Earth's surface after a large passage of time has passed, only to find that Bob is now in fact 'older' than him.

Now the odds of John wishing to do this, finding the technology to build a light-speed space craft, and indeed suceeding in his travel and are remote beyond words. But not impossible.

Basically my point here is that no event is technically impossible on an infinite timescale, just at best extremely, extremely, extremely unlikely. Your equation works fine in the confines of a maths class chalkboard, just not really outside it.
 
Tiger Bread is the most delicious thing created by man. Fact.

It's Tigery effect and distinct flavour is created using Seseme Oil and Rice Paste.
