      Something I only recently learned (after over 35 years of being a dog mother), and that's when you "tickle" a dog and it sets off their back leg, you're hurting it! You might want to do a list of things that we do with animals that we shouldn't!
      Love the Mr Burns impersonation! It's the best I've ever heard!
      I love the anagram one. I really have a thing for word play. For those who know what I'm talking about, Doctor Who is an anagram of Torchwood (although I should probably put that the other way around as Dr Who came first).

    Hi Mike! I remembered the name of Captain Crunch. I remember when it first came out in the mid-sixties. I pestered my mom into getting a box, and I was in love! Imagine my chagrin when another kid put a lot of lemon juice in my bowl of Captain Crunch when I wasn't looking. It curdled the milk, and when I unknowingly ate a big spoonful I gagged!

    The Bhuddha's "bun" is not a bundle of hair. It is called "Ushnisha" and represents the Biddha's expanded Wisdom, but there are stories that as he reached enlightenment, Siddhartha's skull began to bulge up, so that is his skull under his hair.
    I;ve never heard of the Buddha having snails all over his head... He was said to have very curly hair with tight, springy ringlets that could be stretched out many inches/centimeters. The tight curls were also a side effect of his Enlightenment, due to the "heat of the Divine Fire Within" that raised his body temp beyond what normal humans can endure, and made his hair curl tight like curling a ribbon with a scissor's edge.
    Buddhism shaves heads now, but the Buddha was a Hindu, and Hinduism says that long hair connects humans to the divine more easily. So Siddhartha Buddha would not have shaved his head before enlightenment, and would not bother with his hair much afterwards.

    Hepster is from the word "hep", short for hepatitis, as many jazz musicians were drug users and sharing needles spread hepatitis. The notion that it meant being aware of things would come from this conversation someone might have: Some cool jazz guys say they are going to party (note the verb party not noun). You say you want to go to a party. The two guys look at each other, then you, and ask, "Are you hep?" Asking if you have been tested for hepitis. You reply, "What's hip?" As the word "hep" makes no sense. They realize you are not a drug user and tell you you can not come. You think there is something about being "hip" that makes you know something and get invited to parties.
    When that generation later saw the boomer kids growing hair and doing drugs they insulted them by calling the "heppies", implying that they have dirty diseases. The same morph had it turned to hippies.

    When I was in middle school we had to take some typing program called “All The Right Type” in the computer lab. The lessons required that we keep our hands in certain positions with one finger on each hand on the keys with the ridges. This was the mid-2000s so our generation had grown up on computers, while the school staff had learned in high school or college. When we tried their technique, our typing rate plummeted. Meanwhile, the teachers typed like chickens seeking and pecking at keys.

    Screens in movie theatres are also retro-reflective (and they may have been before road signs were). The original light sabre props in the original Star Wars movies had a spinning wooden dowel covered in screen material, to make them look like they were glowing. While the effect worked, animators had to rotoscope some extra glow onto the blades along with the flashes when they hit each other.

    You missed a good one on the tyres, one that can mean life or death!!!! ALL Tyres have a manufacture date on and there is a set time from this date when the rubbers life span expires. Look out when buying ‘cheap’ tyres and old stock may already be past their life expectancy and will crack/split and fall apart very soon after. In europe a tyre can be sold upto 5 years from its manufacture date but a rule is 10years of expectancy from the date on the tyre.
    It is a small number in an oval box ‘1222’ or ‘12/22’ is the 12th week of 2022 so the rubber is good until the 12th week of 2032.
    Make sure you check this on the cars of ur loved ones.

    Hi Mike; In #23, CDs (and DVDs?) do NOT spin at a constant speed. They spin at a constant linear velocity. The CD has a track that spirals from the outer edge to the inner edge. As the laser reads the information it tells the motor where it is on the disk (edge or center) and the motor speeds up and slows down. Vinyl record players spin at a constant speed, but not CDs. If you have a CD player with a window above the CD, you can see this plainly.

      @randysmith9715 Před měsícem

      @@stanwolenski9541 Not really; The amount of data that can be stored on a mostly circular track (it is one track from outer edge to center) is dependent on the circumference of the track. So tracks near the outer edge can store more data (pi times diameter = circumference). Near the center of the disk the track can only store a much smaller amount of data so it needs to spin faster. To get the most data on the disk, the disk spins faster as the laser beam moves from the outer edge to the center.
