I have a fistful of...?

 

[zoobyshoe]

I have a fistful of...?

Lemony fresh pine sol.

Getting back to more urgent irrelevancies: I've heard it asserted that with a common pair of pliers, three boxes of brass brads, and a garbage bag full of old Hershey bar wrappers, a Turkish diabetic can forge enough fake money to pay off the equivalent of National Debt of the original 13 American Colonies in 1797. I'm sure everyone's heard that. But does this mean a specific Turkish diabetic, or any Turkish diabetic?

 

[MotoH]

They must be between the ages of 24 and 35, have type 6 diabetes, and have their third finger in from the left missing.

There once was man from. . .?

lemony fresh pine sol town,
Who couldn't remember when he'd really last sat down.
His recall of the chair:
"I really don't care"
"Cause I float on a lake and will till I drown."

The moral of that Limerick, is, obviously, "Don't count your Rosetta Stones before they're unearthed." Everyone avoids mentioning that, though, because that moral has no ring to it. It falls flat. Lessons and morals should be snappy, and pithy. Otherwise you won't remember them.

But don't you find, in saying "The Rosetta Stone falls flat," that there is a devious, erroneous implication, that erroneous implication being that it doesn't also stand flat?

There once was a man with a hernia.

When cutting my middle,
Be sure you don't fiddle
With matters that do not concern-ya.

STUPID QUESTION:
A stitch in time saves 9 WHAT??

 

[adicabrady]

9 stitches in time will save me from having another bout of 9 simultaneous severe debilitating headaches when 9 stitches unraveled from the shoulder of my dress and left me standing,humiliated,in the middle of Times Square.I had my suitcase bomb with me but had to run off and hide and leave the bomb as I probably would have been caught extremely easily if I had set my terrorist bomb off and was the only naked person nearby.Should I have set the bomb off anyway and just hoped it blew the clothes off other people too?

 

[Ulagatin]

9 stitches in time staple the clothes to the bodies of the bomb blast victims. What victims?? I see no damn victims!

I question the philosophical reality of your terrorist bomb! Answer me that, and I shall bake you a cake. Pi cake.

 

[GarageTinker]

I philosophically reject your reality of questioning the philosophical realty of someone else's terrorist bomb, and substitute my Shih Tzu's hallucinogenic realty; which is itself brought about by the cyclic atrophea of the 3rd ring of Saturn during every 2nd full moon.

[Math Is Hard]

How much wood could a woodchuck buy if it was a quant?

I suppose that would depend on how he optimized the chuck function.

I wonder how people first measured the speed of light in a vacuum. I think the hardest part is getting a flashlight up the narrow plastic hose. Do you think they ran it over a string of Christmas lights and then looked in the bag?

whats most stupid thing about physics?

 

[Ulagatin]

The most stupid thing is that I have to know about Laplacians and other advanced mathematics to do modern physics instead of rubber chickens. What if I want to use rubber chickens to answer questions in physics?? I do love mathematics, truthfully, but I'm in the spirit of this forum. :)

 

[ijesse94]

I have a question and I'll take any answer, stupid or otherwise.
"How fast do you need to be driving before a red light turns green?"
High School Physics class extra credit question. Anything I put in for a search brings up DMV links.

 

[EnumaElish]

[BTW, ijesse94 -- you needed to give a stupid answer to a stupid question before posting your question.] This may not be the proper forum for homework-related questions -- but then again, the question is sort of shifty. As a result of the correct speed at which you need to be driving, hopefully the only collapse you will see will be a measured shortening of the distance between two successive peaks (or two crests, or any two points with equal heights and equal slopes), and not in the form of a sudden impact to the length of the vehicle you are driving toward the intersection with a "green" light.

It is said that there is no such thing as a stupid question, only a stupid answer; what gives?

 

[xnick]

@Ulagatin: You can't use just any kind of rubber chicken to answers questions in physics. It must be a http://www.miwiki.net/Rubber_chicken_with_a_pulley_in_the_middle".

It's getting hot here. Why hasn't no one yet come up with a "microwave freezer"?

Because there hasn't been a need to freeze microwaves.

Why isn't there a relativity theory for time dilation that occurs during a vacation? Time drags before your vacation and then goes at light speed during your vacation - then it drags again.

Going around the world stretches them out a little too much.

The examiner realized it was actually a rooster having lied on the application form when the parallel parking was a success.

How do we know there aren't Chameleons all around us?

 

[micromass]

Because chameleans don't really exist. It's the government that lies to us by inventing the concept "chameleon"...

Not until you answer the other question first.

Because you're posting on Physics Forums instead of working.

Why does my university close due to inclement weather on the one day of the week I actually have a long enough block of time to do something productive in the lab I work in?

 

[adicabrady]

The university is closed because you were fated to find the answer to everything if you went there today.Will you ever find the answer now?

 

[JaredJames]

Everyone already knows the answer to everything is 42.

Why are spiders obsessed with bath tubs?

 

[jhae2.718]

That's because there's an attractive force between spiders and bath tubs the solution to which is equal to proof of the Riemann hypothesis. Spiders, in both their real and imaginary parts, are drawn to bath tubs with a nonconservative force the magnitude of which, given in furlongs/fortnight^2, is equal to ζ(s), where s is the spider function as referred to in the 1883 issue of the Journal of the Slovenian Philological Society.

Why do spiders have an imaginary component?
