Water is the most dangerous substance in the world, here is why:

I can't get itDemystifier said:How many legs does a horse have? Eight. Two on the front, two on the back, two one the left and two on the right.
It has two legs at the back and forelegs at the front making a total of six. Since six is an odd number of legs for a horse to have but is an even number, and the only number that is both even and odd is infinity, it is clear that horses have an infinite number of legs.Demystifier said:How many legs does a horse have?
You will get it when you get calculus and QCD.Young physicist said:I can't get it![]()
As I understand it, a lot of the difficulty in doing theoretical physics comes in making sure that you've accounted for all relevant effects once and once only. The "mistake" @Demystifier made is a trivial example - he "hasn't realized" that the set of left legs and the set of front legs overlap.Young physicist said:I can't get it![]()
Wow. ThanksDemystifier said:You will get it when you get calculus and QCD.![]()
To me, it has five legs.Ibix said:Count the legs on this Assyrian statue

Yes, and here is an actual physical example: Paradox: Electron Radiates in a Gravitational FieldIbix said:As I understand it, a lot of the difficulty in doing theoretical physics comes in making sure that you've accounted for all relevant effects once and once only.

Yes, because one of its front legs is shown twice, once on the front and once on the side. I gather it was a convention when representing things with this kind of relief carving on two sides of a block. But it's a nice illustration of Demystifier's joke in the real world.Young physicist said:To me, it has five legs.
Those nuts have some serious problemsmfb said:If you are done with counting legs, can you please assemble this and tell me how many legs the upper right part has?

I showed it to my son who concluded that there were three at the left and two at the right, hence five. I promise I hadn't discussed Demystifier's horse joke with him.mfb said:If you are done with counting legs, can you please assemble this and tell me how many legs the upper right part has?
No. We're done counting legs! ...mfb said:If you are done with counting legs, can you please assemble this and tell me how many legs the upper right part has?

Can you calculate how much time will go by before an opening big enough is created so that you can pass them by? No. You cannot. Whatever math you use, it will not be representative of reality. They will continue driving in near parallel formation for the next hour and you will be stuck behind them for forever.
You see, we don't know. All he said was that he knows that the gym is on the first floor ...jtbell said:Does the contract set a requirement on the pizzeria or on you?
Ah! That takes care of it, I guess. That explains it. Sounds like a contract (+ the minimum pizza requirements [should be met] etc.).mfb said:"What I would like to have in the contract: Every time my wife calls from this number and I am at your place, please answer the phone with 'Gym x' and confirm that I am there."

Nope. Translated from a German joke site. Unfortunately most of their puns are playing with language and cannot be translated.Ibix said:As seen on ProboscisBook?

Speaking of language jokes, how about this one:fresh_42 said:Nope. Translated from a German joke site. Unfortunately most of their puns are playing with language and cannot be translated.
For the same reason we park in a driveway and drive on a parkwayYoung physicist said:A brush brushes,
A comb combs,
But why doesn't a sink sinks?
It probably will if you drop it in water. Especially if you leave the plug out.Young physicist said:But why doesn't a sink sinks?
And the same reason trains stop in a train station, buses stop at a bus station, and I have a work station in my office.phinds said:For the same reason we park in a driveway and drive on a parkway
Well, You stop to workIbix said:and I have a work station in my office.
That's what I tell my boss, anyway.Young physicist said:Well, You stop to work![]()
You mean they brush and comb just by themselves? Hmmm! I haven't seen that ...Young physicist said:A brush brushes,

Yeah, I do mean "brush with a brush"...but definitely not "sink with a sink"Stavros Kiri said:You mean they brush and comb just by themselves? Hmmm! I haven't seen that ...

Well it's usually heavy, so if you hug it it will take you underwater! ...Young physicist said:Yeah, I do mean "brush with a brush"...but definitely not "sink with a sink"
Well, that’s basically true...but in a flood occurred in south Taiwan a few days ago, a few of them did float on water on the street, which I saw it on tv.(which is an obvious exception to normal conditions)Stavros Kiri said:Well it's usually heavy, so if you hug it it will take you underwater! ...![]()
Lol. Some sinks don't sink then ...Young physicist said:Well, that’s basically true...but in a flood occurred in south Taiwan a few days ago, a few of them did float on water on the street, which I saw it on tv.(which is a obvious exception to normal conditions)
