Which forum am I in?

JohnnyG · 22 Feb 2006 at 17:54

Something extremely pointless I've pondered over.
If I have 2 browsers open & am logged in to OcUK on both & each browser is in a different forum (GD & SA for instance) which forum will my username be displayed as being in at the bottom? Will I be in both at the same time or will it switch as I just switch browsers even if I don't actually do anything in that forum (not posting or reading etc.)
This has no bearing on my enjoyment here & I can live without the answer

Oh - I was expecting an existentialist debate.

Or, at the very least, a reference to Schrodinger's cat and the uncertainty principle.

If the cat falls and there's no one to hear it, will it land buttered side down?

On the subject of the whole buttered down thing they did this experiment on Mythbusters on Discovery chanel today.

They concluded that it actualy lands buttered side up over a large height (say off a building) due to the concave nature of the toast after you have applied force to put the butter on it and thus pressed the centre in to form a bowl shape. This causes the toast to flip over and land butter side up.

However, if you just swipe the toast off a table, due to the small height of the table the toast only manages to complete half a rotation and so lands butter side down.

What if the toast is dropped from an airplane on a treadmil? Will it fly?

Surely you mean if toast is dropped from an airplane on a treadmil which is in a forest, will anyone hear the toast being sucked into the engine and split into 1 or 2 pieces of toast, or will a tree crush the plane?

I'm sure I've read someone's thesis on this subject, and they concluded that it only does one rotation due to the height of the table, which is due to the height of humans, which is due to the Earth's gravity, which is due to the gravitational constant of the universe.
