The radiation from a ringing mobile phone can cook popcorn.
However, using your mobile phone at a petrol station isn't dangerous as a ringing phone doesn't create any sparks with which to ignite fuel.0 -
I was always told that condoms were first made from pig's bladders.
Condoms are still used to protect rifle barrels from sand, water etc. by soldiers. (told that by close family member who used to be a para)
Goats have condoms! (Sort of)

1 = 2:biggrin:
(And I can prove it)0 -

Step 1: Let a=b.
Step 2: Then a^2 = ab (^2 = squared, ^3 would be cubed),
Step 3: a^2 + a^2 = a^ + ab,
Step 4: 2a^2 = a^2 + ab,
Step 5: 2a^2 - 2ab = a^2 + ab - 2ab,
Step 6: and 2a^2 - 2ab = a^2 - ab.
Step 7: This can be written as 2(a^2 - ab) = 1(a^2 - ab),
Step 8: and cancelling the (a^2 - ab) from both sides gives 2=1.
:biggrin:0 -
but a doesnt = b ?0

Step 1, a = b
there is one fallacious step in that algebra that I declined to mention earlier, try and spot it.:thumbup1:0 -
nah ...cant be ar*ed ?0

lol. I remember seing this a few years ago at school; it's very cleverly done.
In essence, the last step is incorrect as you are dividing by zero, which is impossible.
Bottom line, this proof basically says "1 times 0 equals 2 times 0, therefore 1 equals 2". The fallacy is that just because two numbers give you the same answer (zero) after you multiply them each by zero, it doesn't necessarily mean that the two numbers are the same, because anything when multiplied by zero gives zero.
But if you can remember the steps it's a hell of a good one to wind up people who think they're good at algebra!0 -
nice one...........bear that in mind....... next time im in stringfellows and someone asked me about algebra !!!:tongue_smilie:0
