Ask Me Anything

The Rules
Ask me anything you want that isn't to do with this site and I will answer in a style of my choosing.
That's the rules done, now what are you waiting for?

Ok I know it's on the wrong board, but this is an experiment
Please note: All answers are for entertainment purposes only

Can I ask two?

1. Will I get less wet walking, or running, in the rain?

2. Surely there are more birds, and other critters, than humans on this planet... and surely they die of old age. So why don't we see dead animals lying all over the place?

What kind of work do you do, outside of here?

1. Will I get less wet walking, or running, in the rain?
Hey a little bit of radio-active acid rain never hurt anyone so why rush ;)


2. Surely there are more birds, and other critters, than humans on this planet...and surely they die of old age. So why don't we see dead animals lying all over the place?
Now then lets think about this.
The Earth is covered by 70% water and a further 20% is either uncharted or barren, 10% is not livable and 5% is built on.
So as this is more than 100% you will never see another living or dead thing ever and the ones you do see are a figment of your deranged imagination.

What kind of work do you do, outside of here?

I have been advised to avoid work on medical grounds so I play in IT.

Why was there an incomplete rainbow in the sky yesterday and it was -10 out with snow on the ground?

What is the best gift you could think of to give to a special valentine or what would be your best gift?

What is the best way to lose weight?

Do you believe in God?

Do you believe Prayer works? In Healing and other things?

Have you ever seen a lightning storm in a middle of a snowstorm? Yes or no. I have.

Okay that's all for now.

Why was there an incomplete rainbow in the sky yesterday and it was -10 out with snow on the ground?
What on earth were you doing outside on such a cold day. You should have been tucked up in front of a roaring fire, hot toddy in hand.


What is the best gift you could think of to give to a special valentine or what would be your best gift?I'm not allowed to have special valentines any more, the wife won't let me.


What is the best way to lose weight?Hang on I'll tell you in a minute


Do you believe in God?BANG out with the deep meaningful questions. Now look what you've gone and made me do, I'll have to clear that up before I can continue. That's better now where was I , oh yes next question.


Do you believe Prayer works? In Healing and other things?Well I keep praying for a new car, pay rise, big house with swimming pool and it hasn't worked yet.


Have you ever seen a lightning storm in a middle of a snowstorm? Yes or noOK so paint me into a corner then just to see if I'll answer well I've run out of ideas now so the answer is...

What happened to the dozen roses and the card huh?? I don't know I give you a perfect little girl and you can't even manage some flowers tee hee that's it your sleeping on the settee (love you really)

LOL, I guess any kind of questions besides about the board was puzzling for you. LOL

Sure they are 1,13,19,29,37,42 the only problem is I can't tell you which week they are for.

Since we're on the subject of roses, my question is, how do they make black roses? Is it natural or do they put something in them? They are very popular here as gifts, esp. for Halloween.

LOLLL... good enough, haha!

Okay I have one more... why are sun dogs called sun dogs? I suppose it doesn't get cold enough in the UK for sun dogs but oh well. :)

Okay I have one more... why are sun dogs called sun dogs? I suppose it doesn't get cold enough in the UK for sun dogs but oh well. :)
It's because they're yellow like the sun we call them Lassie

Just "stole" this off the web,as curlyben is probably fast asleep:

Sundogs are visible when the sun is near the horizon and on the same horizontal plane as the observer and the ice crystals. As sunlight passes through the ice crystals, it is bent by 22 degrees before reaching our eyes, much like what happens with 22 degree halos. This bending of light results in the formation of a sundog.But you knew that anyway.He he.

Why are they called this? I have no idea. :D


Damn.. he is awake.lol

Too slow boyo ;)
Nice try, 8/10 for effort 1/10 for paying attention in class

Do you guys ever see sundogs in the UK? Just curious. I saw some today, as our temperature is around -35 C right now. They're beautiful but it's hard to think of that while you're freezing your a** off!

Orange I don't think I've ever seen them in the UK, but saying that I live near the cost where its always warm (ish)

I meant to say sundogs above lol not snow dogs, do you have photo's of them??

I've seen a hot dog.Nice with tomato sauce.Yummie. :D

I live in the "heart of the Midlands",and we don't get much snow. :( The last really cold "spell" I remember (just) was December 1995,when we had knee deep snow for a week.Then it thawed.Boo-hiss.Never seen a snow dog though.

Hey, CurlyBen,
Did you send your wife an ecard for Valentines??
Or get some real roses.
Have a good one.

Here's a good picture of a sundog in Canada... actually of two. The sun is in the middle. The aurora borealis (northern lights) are much prettier of course! Actually one thing I like about living in northern SK is our skies. They are really awesome.

Thanks Orange they look cool! I have never seen them before...

Wow that's a long time with no snow! I actually like snow too, but I wish it wouldn't get so cold here! Actually this winter has been very mild (still lots of snow though). Apparently Siberia and other parts of northern Europe are getting the cold weather we were supposed to get.

Thanks Orange they look cool !! I have never seen them before....

They are pretty cool! Notice how they form an arc? That's especially cool to see, but usually the arc is too big and so you just see the dogs on either side of the sun in a straight line. Kind of like you don't always see the whole rainbow I guess.

I thought I'd share a northern lights picture as well. It's not very large, but you get the idea. It was taken in east central Saskatchewan, a couple of hours drive from where I live. The colors are not static btw; they actually move and "dance" across the sky!

You live in a nice part of the world.The only Northern lights I see,are after two bottles of wine.

They look great next time I'm over in Canada I will have to try and take a look for them... Do you know if you can see them in B.C our would I have to travel more??

I'm not sure... maybe northern BC? I think they're generally more northerly, although I've heard you can see them further south occasionally. I know for a fact though that they are brighter and more spectacular the further north you go. Maybe you should try visiting the Yukon, it's right above BC. ;)

That sounds like a plan, I will have to try and get my step brother to lend me his wheels and take a road trip around Canada its something I've felt like doing for some time... I think heading down far north sounds best if its anything to go by those photo's you posted...

NwsFlash - If Ben's number's work you'll probably have to share the winnings with all the other UK peeps that used his numbers.

Ben - tisk, tisk for forgetting the flowers.

Anyway a question:

"What is the shortest, complete sentence in the English language?"

"What is the shortest, complete sentence in the English language?" What ?
Nuts got to post more as it below the minimum answer length ;)

Nope :P The correct answer is "I am!"

A sentence by the linguisitic definition, must have a noun (I) and a verb (AM). Supposedly. You know I just copied and pasted that sentence :)

Clever so and so, but I didn't say I would get anything correct ;)

LTheobald your right I never looked at it that way, we could all end up with £20.00 each lol on a jackpot win.;)

I won $20,000 Hong Kong dollars last year.Not only have I never been there,but I've never played their lottery.When the email asked for my bank details,I was gutted. :D

Won £10 on the UK Lotto last July though.Lasted me ten minutes.

LoL hummm how much is that worth in UK term?? :D The new scam is the Spanish Lotto sounds the same kind of things as that Hong Kong one;) Where they ask you to wire money to get your winnings... Also there was one I heard of just before Christmas that used the same scam but this time it was Canada.

LMFAO If that's beer money come drink down my local any time lol 1st rounds on u

1. Some I'm flatulant in English, French, German, Jargonese and Techie. I'm also passable in Italian and Spanish.

2. The formation or Iron (I) Oxide is unknown to me so this question is meaningless

3. Yep, Onions are now BANNED from our house.



Ok, will I make it through nursing school alive?

You CHEAT!!!!!

No Fair, but still worth another one of your laughs.

You will make it through completely alive, but your family on the other hand is a completely different question.
Me cheat never, well not so as you'd notice ;)


here is another one,

Can Johnny go swimming?
Only of he asks nicely.

Now this thread has been well and truly bumped, anymore for anymore?

Why is the sky blue?

How do fish drink?

Why is a dog fart the worst smell in the world?

And, oh yea, Johnny asked nicely, Rae took him swimming.

Why is the sky blue?

Oooo I know this one, hang on it's on the tip of my tongue, I know it was here a minute ago. I remember now, it's because it would look silly if it where pink with purple spots.


How do fish drink?
Everybody knows its with a glass!!


Why is a dog fart the worst smell in the world?
You've never met my cats have you! They work for Porton Down (UK chemical weapons station)

Why is a dog fart the worst smell in the world?
Nah uh, cat breath beats dog flatulation, paws down!! (LOL @ your avatar!)
(Winks at Ben ;) )


I have one more, now that I have given it some thought while putting away a load of laundry. .

What are some of the good reasons for living in Mondas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondas)?

Okay, the term "you've got your work cut out for you" means that whatever you are doing is going to be hard. Shouldn't it mean that it will be easy if it is already cut out like a sewing pattern?

Okay, the term "you've got your work cut out for you" means that whatever you are doing is going to be hard. Shouldn't it mean that it will be easy if it is already cut out like a sewing pattern?


I think that is a throw back to the old days where the cutting WAS easy and the sewing was by hand, by daylight or candlelight even.. . Can you imagine? :eek:

I would call that hard, LOL.

That makes total sense. I never looked at it that way.

:( You missed my other question back there CurlyBen?

Starbuck had a scar after she escaped hospital,and was rescued by Cylon Boomer,who shot Adamma,and is dead,but really alive,so what is Starbuck's scar.An alien,waiting to burst through her chest.A ploy to keep us guessing.Or is their a human-cylon hybrid baby in her womb?

Please,my kind American,and Canadian friends,as we in the UK are 30 years behind you guys,just let Curlyben and myself go into "kiddie" mode just once?Ahh Nez.. you spoiled it for me. We are not that advanced in the BG Series here in Germany.

Do you get 4400 and Lost?

They are bringing SG Atlantis again - instead of new episodes, we get the reruns. And Lost is shown again until they 'surprise' us with new ones. It's frustrating sometimes.

Addicted to Sfi-Fi!!

Anyway a question:

"What is the shortest, complete sentence in the English language?"

1. It is.
2. Maybe
3. OK.
4. No.

Any more? Did I at least get it right?

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_60.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZN)What's the biggest little word in the Dictionary?

Ok, the ever age old question here:

What came first, the chicken or the egg?

And Ben, your answer is:::::::::::

I know! I know!

The chicken triumphantly lit up a smoke leaning back against the headboard whilst the egg, grumbling, pulled up the sheets...

Guess that settles that. :cool:

I am the beginning of sorrow, and the end of sickness. You cannot express happiness without me, yet I am in the midst of crosses. I am always in risk, yet never in danger. You may find me in the sun, but I am never out of darkness.What am I?

Beeeeeeeeeep.

What's the matter? Too many questions all at once? Did we fry your brain?

Here is the riddle:

You are locked in a room with only two doors and two robots (hmmm, one even kind of resembles Ben too! ) and you only know these two things - one door leads to freedom, one to certain death AND one robot always tells the truth, one always lies.

You are permitted to ask one robot one question only to escape. What do you ask?

Since a few days have passed, Im going to take a stab at this one...

I would ask both robots "what door will the other robot tell me leads to freedom?"

The truth telling robot will tell the truth by telling me that the liar robot will tell me it's the door on the right (which leads to certain death).

The liar robot will lie by telling me that the truth robot will tell me it's the door on the right (which still leads to certain death).

Therefore, I would go out the door that neither of them mentioned in their answer.

That one is AWESOME!

Ok, this isn't a riddle but I still want a yes or no answer to it...

Will your answer to this question be 'no'?

Correct-a-mundo!! (Give that man a kewpie doll)

I think I've just pee'd myself laughing, go on ladys get him he is such a smart arse I'm dreading millie being just like him think ill be leaving home ;)

Ben will you ever make the real effort of quiting smoking so I can follow suit??

Here is the riddle:

You are locked in a room with only two doors and two robots (hmmm, one even kinda resembles Ben too!!) and you only know these two things - one door leads to freedom, one to certain death AND one robot always tells the truth, one always lies.

You are permitted to ask one robot one question only to escape. What do you ask?

Personally, I would ask "Can you please walk through the left door for me?". If he answers yes, does it and dies horribly - you walk through the other door :P

I got one!

Ben, is your hair really curly?

*peaks out from behind sofa*

J_9 - Yes

*goes back to hiding*

How about, why is water wet? And don't tell me it's cause it isn't dry!!

J_9 well that's easy it's because it's a liquid :P

1=3 7=5
2=3 8=5
3=5 9=4
4=4 10=3
5=4 11=??
6=3 12=??

Ermmmm 6 and 6 ;)

Wooooooooooooooooo your good, looks like I will have to look harder lol

Hey Whizz here's one for you
1=1
2=2
4=4
8=8
16=10
32=?
64=?
128=?

Seriously I've been thinking about this one and I can't get, Ill keep trying though, it's a good one lol

Can you explain it for me?

If you were locked in a room with 2 robots, one that cannot lie and one that always lies… in this room are 2 doors, one that leads to freedom and one that leads to certain death. You don’t know which robot is which, or which door is which. You get to ask one question. What can you ask that will result in you finding the way out regardless of which robot you ask?

1=1
2=2
4=4
8=8
16=10
32=20
64=40
128=80

Is that right?

Yep.
NK did you run out of fingers as that took a long time to work out ;)
