The Curiosity Thread
I occasionally have alot of weird questions and probably not a good idea to start a thread for each of them, so this thread is where I and anyone can post their curiosity. So wise members, please, visit here sometimes and hopefully answer some of them. Also if anyone has any good/interesting information, post here as well, because we can all learn something new.
So here's what I'm asking During the off season, lil sav, ronnie, priest, etc. are pretty "fat"(not really fat but you know what i mean). Usually what %body fat are they? and how come they don't have things like droopy fats, flaps? Their fats are actually looking really full/firm and shaped well. I see this with normal people as well, some have very drooping tummy, pudgy, but some has bulging out stomach that look like a balloon and hard. Another one, which injury is worse, hit by a bullet or a ricochet (in the same spot). The reason i ask is, doesn't the bullet get deformed after it gets ricochet, so it would makes a bigger injury? ONE MORE, lol, dog20, what is your rep point right now? does it go to negative? you asked me to neg rep you but i will save it for when you really deserve it

OMG...I knew there was a reason I like you because I have questions pop up in my head all the time! I used to have an entire book full of them. Whenever I had one pop into my mind, I would write it down.
Like why are there so many lugnuts on a tire? It would seem they could invent easier way to change tires after all these years? Or why are some roads concrete, but some are asphalt?

I kno how you feel .. i have so much and want to ask, but then i don't know where to ask, or how to search for it.
concrete and asphalt question is depending on the zone it is in. The expanding rate of concrete and asphalt are different. I think thats the reason. lol not fact oh yea, just for the record.. state it as opinion if you're not sure it's a fact.. =P

I mean..really could we save that many people by getting those darn five year-olds with headcolds off those forklifts! If mirrors need light to work, what happens if you put night vision goggles on in the dark and look at a mirror? if you're on an American airline, and you land in Canada and stay on the plane, is the drinking age still 21 or does it change to 19?

How come the Bible is the most stolen book, and one of the ten comandments is "thou shall not steal"? Why isn't the caps lock capitalized? If there's a hole straight through the earth, from the south pole to the north pole, and you jump through it what would happen? would you keep falling forever, or fall back down when you get to the middle, or is it physically impossible? If someone with a nostril ring takes it out, then blows their nose, do they have to cover that hole as well as their nostril holes so that snot does'nt blow out everywere? Isn't it weird that if you rearange the word "teacher" you get "cheater"? How come whenever you start to sing, you automatically sing in a higher voice than you talk?

How come on TV the bell always rings and then the kids go to class, but in real life you need to be in class before the bell rings? Why can the saying "it's all downhill from here." mean both that it will be easy and that it is going to get worse? If all of ACME's products backfire, why does Wile E. Coyote keep buying them?

How come they don't add the time that we are in our mom's to our age? Why do people squint their eyes when they can't see? Wouldn't that just make it less space to see out of? What is a hacky, and why is it in a sack? Who was in the kitchen with Dina? Why do we have to pay a toll on "freeways"? Why do they call them pepperoni if there is no pepper in it? How old does something have to be to become an antique? Can a school teacher give a homeless child homework? Why do they say "an alarm going off," if it is really going on?

Only in a vacuum would the velocity be the same. But since drag plays a factor, it would be nowhere close. If you fire a gun straight up in the air, at some point the bullet will come to a complete stop. So on the way down, the bullets velocity starts at zero. I read that on average a bullet fired vertically from a rifle will reach an average height of 9000 feet. So we can use this formula to figure out its impact velocity. (vf^2) = (v0^2) + 2*a*(delta y) vf is the velocity of the object when it hits the ground (or final velocity) vo is the object's original velocity a is the acceleration due to gravity delta y is how far it falls vf^2 = (0) + 2*(32 ft/sec^2)*(9000 ft) vf^2 = 73600 ft^2 / sec^2 now take the square root of vf^2 to get vf... vf = 758ft/sec Most rifles have a muzzle velocity of over 3000 ft/sec so you can see thats quite a bit less. But wait a minute, that formula doesnt take into consideration terminal velocity. Bullets come in many different sizes and shapes but on averge, the terminal velocity is between 300 and 400ft/sec. About the same velocity as a bb gun. So its still dangerous but nowhere near as dangerous as the original shot. Last edited by mitchcumstein; 09-19-2006 at 11:40 AM.

Why are there no size "B" batteries ?
Why are they called apartments when they are units all together ? Why is an army called an infantry if you have to be over 18 to get in? Isn't it scary that a doctor's office is called a practice ?
