Things you may not know....

[dave289]

Yesterday I was at a mates place when a mythbusters show came on. they were testing to see if you got wetter by walking in the rain or running in the rain.after doing the tests and wieghing the light overalls they were wearing ,it seems you get wetter by running in the rain to the nearest cover than by walking,they also tested using no fan and also with a fan to simulate wind or rain coming in on an angle.I was very surprised by the results.

Another thing I learned yesterday and I dont know if its true,but was informed that it is illegal to urinate in public unless you do it on your rear left wheel of your car.can anybody confirm this.

If you have any other interesting things which people may not know then feel free to add yours .

Unless it's a Commodore, then you can go all over it..

The urination law is as far as I know only applicable within Brisbane Cities CBD limits.(and thats only hear say) Best to check the laws in your own town/suburb before getting smart with the law.

This is a fact though

Quoted from The Business Times UK (The Worlds Strangest Laws) In the UK, a man who feels compelled to urinate in public can do so only if he aims for his rear wheel and keeps his right hand on his vehicle.

You may not know that there is probably an entire website dedicated to this sort of tripe...

I read somewhere it is illegal to ride a horse, donkey, etc. while inebriated but if you ride a goat its ok...


Was years ago so the details are sketchy....

That's probably because you're inebriated now :p

I'm gonna get me a goat

[Mr Hardware]

Yeah, the wizz on your rear passenger side wheel one i'm pretty certain is true. Thats what all the cabbies used to say (and presumably do).

I wear my slippers to the shopping centre! :
Must be ok in NSW!

Some people must be bored writing about where you can and can't urinate and what you can and can't wear in public. Sounds like people are trying to pee in others ears, while inebriated or not, whilest riding their donkey not the goat : :

Mightn't be able to use it because the horse used it whilst wearing the Ugg boots. I think he might have worn the slippers in public, but left them behind running from the law when he started urinating on the right rear wheel in the CBD of a NSW shopping centre. :nutsycuck : :

I wonder if that holds water [pun intended] if you drive an American car here? Also wondering if it would be legal to pee on the left hind leg of your goat when drunk??

Back OT, if you start with $1, and add 10% every day for one year, you end up with $1,166,641,436,648,540.00. One more days work in a leap year will earn you an extra $116,664,143,664,854.00 ( $1,283,305,580,313,390.00 )

Or at 1%, you'd end up with $37.78

edit - for the punters, that is a total of one quadrillion, two hundred eighty-three trillion, three hundred five billion, five hundred eighty million, three hundred thirteen thousand, three hundred ninety.

heres a good one that I just remembered.

the question is "would you work for me for a month ,being say thirty days ,if I paid you 1 cent for the first day and then doubled it every day ,so on the first day you would get 1 cent, on the second day you would get 2 cents, on the third day you would get 4 cents and so on". you will be very surprised by the outcome.
