The Bogg-A-Phone.

When banged up you can clear the water out of the Bog by gradually rocking the water back & forward until it tips over & emptys, Once emptied you can chat to the other dudes in the Prison via the sewage system.

Only Noobs do it on a windy night though. +

Classic.

My mrs' great great uncle was cpl(?) Hitch at Rourke Drift. He won the VC, but years later it 'vanished'.....the family rumour is that it was sold by another member of the family.
His character was featured in the Michael Caine film 'Zulu'.

Fred Hitch's VC was discovered missing when he woke up in hospital after a fall and discovered it stolen as he carried it everywhere.

It later turned up at auction which his family paid to get it back and it is currently ( and likely permanently ) displayed in the South Wales Borderer's museum in Brecon, Wales.

A bullet fired from a gun will hit the ground at the same time as a bullet dropped from the same height.

If you put a current through pencil lead it will glow like a flourecesnt light bulb. I think about 4cm does around 3 min.

Matter is mostly empty space. If you took away the empty space between atoms, pushed them together until they were touching, the human body would be compressed to about the size of a pencil eraser.

You tend to eat more when watching tv at the same time.

If you run enough through it, the pencil combusts. A maxed out 12v PSU will do the trick. A-level physics was fun, where I come from.

A bullet fired from a gun will hit the ground at the same time as a bullet dropped from the same height.

Only if fired horizontally, if fired towards the ground it will hit first.

You are incorrect sir. The Jeep as we know it was originally simply known as the "general purpose military vehicle", GP for short - Became Jeep through american slur and the fog of war.

the vehicle made quite an impression on soldiers at the time, so much so that they informally named it after Eugene the Jeep, a character in the Popeye cartoons created by E. C. Segar. Eugene the Jeep was Popeye's "jungle pet" and was "small, able to move between dimensions and could solve seemingly impossible problems."

So there's 3 versions


My contribution -
Gypsies were an Indian tribe who started to become nomadic during the 11th century.

They were also Exiled from Egypt for harbouring the baby Jesus.

Nazis thought so little of Gypsy women that they didn't even bother raping them before they killed them, Good or Bad, You decide.



Dimple is right though I am from India originally. Brilliant.

Tell me about it! I lost my big toenail months ago due to impact and the bleeder is only half grown back!

It had been known for some time that you got more gas from a high surface-area to volume ratio champagne glass - hence they were either 'boats' or 'flutes' but only in 2005 was it studied properly - the bubbles in champagne come when the dissolved carbon dioxide is released as it comes into contact with nucleation points (imperfections) on the side of the glass. So yes - there is a scientific reason why champage tastes rubbish from wine glasses!

If you take all the empty space out of an atom, and do this for every atom in the human body and for every human on the planet you would end up with something the size of an apple. It would also weigh the same as the combined population.
