Does hitting "alt+f4" speed up your loading time on this page?

Haven't tried it. It's so hard to hit that + while holding down Alt and F4.

In what system of math would Alt+F4 be a valid string?
 
Physics news on Phys.org

New Age computer science/religion (hex, of course).

If you're in your car and you're traveling at the speed of light and you turn on your headlights, is it because the sun went down, or because it started to rain?

Neither, it just gets real foggy.

If all the planets had a royal rumble, which one would win?
 
Jupiter would kick Uranus

What exactly is Jupiter looking at?
 
Looking for aliens, we haven't found any yet.

Who first thought up the word extra-terrestial?
 
you. I've never seen that word before.

How do you get a new word in Webster's?

Scrawl it on every wall in the city or pencil it into Webster's yourself.

The word "word" looks of Scandinavian decent. Do you think it pillaged towns with the Vikings?
 
jeez think about it. It's not hard. Or is it?
 
The answer is yes.

Could you ask a woodchuck "how much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" and get an answer?

It was kinda like this:
a horde of vikings decends upon a christian monastary, hacking and slashing at the innocent monks, cutting them down, setting fire to buildings and looting everything of value they could find.
"Arg, we got them good this time" say's Garth.
"Sure did" responded Fhilfi
"Next time we should try to loot the buildings before burning them though"
"Word"
and with that they rode off into the sunset, looking for another village to pillage.

of course not silly, you can't do that any more than you can tell a rhino to stamp out a fire without him eating an orange first.
..
..or would that work?

Of course, but not the answer you're expecting. You'd get quite a chewing out about how speciesist woodchuck is, and that the term groundhog is far more PC nowadays, mainly because of all the slurs their species has suffered from that woodchuck rhyme.

Why does plastic wrap always manage to stick to itself before you can get it transferred from the box and onto the bowl you're trying to cover?

Only if you bait him with a lemon.


Can rhinos even eat citrus though? Or is this only applicable in the general case of culinary sophisticate rhinos?

Right, my turn again. :biggrin:

Citrus is an Acid. It was proven, many many years ago, that and acid would burn the outside of a Rhino but not more than the hard outside casing. That is how the end part of its name came. The 'Rus' at the end is shorted from Rust, as that is what acid does to it. Strange but true. :smile:

Why are you talking about Rhinos? Should it be Rhini?

Rhini sounds like something a griley-man would say. Rhinos is much more governatorial.

Why do neither Dr Pepper nor Mr Pibb have periods in their abbreviations?

They're both men and men don't get periods.

Say, why don't men get periods?

Its a conspiracy to make us stronger than women by not dealing with debilitating cramps every month. This is what gave us our historical edge over women and enabled us to dominate the world for so long.

A worm remover, of course!

Since my last question got ignored (I wasn't quick enough to post and someone beat me to a new question), I'll repost it.

Because it's sticky and you're not careful enough with it! :biggrin:

Why would anyone start a thread like this? :confused:

Since the universe is deterministic, the laws of physics required it.

Oops, another theory has just been brought to my attention. Okay, inside your brain, there are smart thoughts and stupid thoughts. The smart thoughts are located in the left hemisphere and the stupid thoughts are located in the right hemisphere. The people in this forum were having more smart thoughts than stupid thoughts, causing an imbalance in the their brains which made them fall over. So they created this thread to promote stupid thoughts, restoring the balance, allowing them to remain upright.

Because you couldn't sit on it for 12 hours straight tomorrow.

I will have to combine the two to make them met.

We seek knowledge so that we may know how superman was able to reverse time. I believe he did it by accident (being ignorant at the time I believe) and I think he is getting it copyrighted so we can't steal it. Not fair. :frown: :smile:

The first person to answer your question.

If there is no sadness in heaven, why it is said that rain is G/god crying?
 
God is crying because we did something stupid. Now we'll feel bad if we made God cry. Now we feel guilty.

If I weigh 60 kg on Earth, how much do I weigh on the moon?

You can weigh as much as you like. The last time I was on moon (the security checks are a joke...they didn't even bother checking the lead soles of my lunar boots), I weighed about 100 grams of crack for them loonies that want to get high without jumping.

Have you any idea what kind of money I make selling dope to the lunar settlers ?

Unsure am I of a precise amount but am betting it's astronomical ! :-p




Could the moon be used for topsoil?
