Totally Random Science Facts

Relatively speaking of course. It's still about 1,234,511,348,000 miles.

 

Huh?

If the fleas jump simultaneously, each of them still only has to lift its own weight.

For humans to be better at jumping, they would have to lift their weight relatively higher (i.e. produce more force per unit mass) than the fleas. That doesn't change if you have a million fleas. So yes, the jumping over towers comparison is relevant.

No, it's the same if both animals reach the same height per unit mass. Actually, not even that, because that doesn't take the amount of fuel used in reaching that height into account.

Ah, you mean muscle metabolism by chemical energy. Ooookay, that wasn't exactly clear...

 

The way I see it is it does not matter how many fleas you use a flea can jump only so far so if it is 1 or 1 million the distance will not change unless of course you are adding them together. Still in porportion to size the flea jumps much farther than a human. I really don't see the point in talking about a bunch of fleas compared to a human unless you add them together in which case the fleas win easily.

 

Dog allergies are from the hair, while cat allergies are from the saliva. Both take about ten years to disappear from a house once either species is removed (so nine years after your house is cat free, you'll still pose something of a risk to people with cat allergies).

Fo' shizzle.

You just gave me permanent brain damage.

 

Wiccan, can you unconfuse me re: fleas?



My brain, it's inherently incapable of dealing with simple Newtonian mechanics.

Maggots look funny under an electron microscope

 

Ah, that's awesome!

Of course, it had to be false coloured so that the oral hooks look like vertebrate teeth

I'd rather have a free bottle in front of me
Than a prefrontal lobotomy

 

Tom Waits is great, that's another scientific fact.

 

Prefrontal lobotomies can be morally cleansing.

 

when: n = (sin x)/6 and x can not be defined by the expression pi * e where e is any integer value.

 

quiet you

 

Gnyaaaah! (That was the actual sound I made when I saw this picture )
You have an even weirder idea of 'funny' than I do!
Very cool, though.
