A kid asked whether anal meant the baby came out of your ass... three days before the GCSE paper.

Ooh, also we had someone ask if methane was CH4, and octane was C8H18, Sugarcane was C6H11O6CH3. Not sure if they were serious

>>4534746
Not that I know of- you could try /an/ though, they have pets.

Steam cleaners may/may not do the trick.

>>4534733
Not really, earthquakes only move stuff by a few metres, usually.

>>4534719
Shit's nasty.

Have you photographed it/ kept records of their communication? Prbably worth it just in case shit goes tits up.

You're right, and he's really really close to right. From what I can tell, from about 10,000km up (The exosphere) most gasses have escape velocity and aren't going to be doing a whole lot of sticking around, making the drag extremely negligible. It will still be there though

A bigger problem would be that the clocks on board the satellites would wander off of synchronicity with each other- not because they're inaccurate, but because of their speed dilating time slightly for them.

I won't pretend to be a psychologist but that sounds weird.

>Can it really be bad for your health?
Yup. The only reason you can smell it is that it's decomposing, and filling the air with microscopic pieces of pizza.
>and it really does smell horrendous.
Natures way of telling you to stop doing that.
>The smell is so much worse inside the car and I do not understand why. The inside is not connected to the trunk.
*shrugs*
Just do the whole black bag thing, you'll be fine. If you feel up to it look inside the box first, fuck that fear in the ass.

Look at the kerning of "mootykins" and tell me that we actually went to the moon. you can't.

>>4534646
I agree with you. As a gay guy, It's strikingly obvious how much of society is to appeal to heterosexual men

That said
>I gave them the entire speech on testosterone and the fact that men are always thinking "do I want to fuck this" when they're talking to a woman.
Either you were, or you need to see a therapist. The whole "guys think about sex every n seconds" myth is largely baseless, and quantifying when one is and isn't thinking about sex is pretty much impossible

>>4534212
On the same note as the second one
"What do you think about the director of OPERA feeling forced to step down?"

>>4534643
...
Or you can just move it out of your car.

>>4534584
What's the question? We could probably answer it.
>>4534596
The ISS has booster engines in answer to that exact question. Whether something will feel drag at the 42164 mark is a different question.

>>4534611
Lol.

If you're serious, get a black garbage bag and then put it over the top of the box. Carefully pull so part of the back goes underneath the box, then when the box is fully in the bag, tie it off and chuck it away.

It will smell for months, and fill your car with flies, which will fill your car with maggots. Also, probably not going to be doing much for your health. Act now.

Shoo.

This is the problem with public scientific knowledge today. Instead of thinking "This was done by scientists, therefore it's true!" we need to think "this was done by scientists but they say it might not be true, it might or might not be true!"

>>4533118
Nope. Nobody thought that they did.

just imaging putting a knife in a bath full of water and moving it along.
If you hold it so the blade is pointing in the direction you move it, there's very little resistance. If you move it perpendicular to the direction of the blade, then there's a lot of resistance. But, if you move it diagonally to the blade, you can feel the blade being pushed in the direction it's pointing.

This is because the pressure of the medium under the blade is higher than that behind the blade- the blade is literally being pushed in the angle it points.

IS DAT SUM SIERPINSKI

"square" is an array, but I'm guessing that's just int Square[][]= new int;

>>4533216
In theory that's java. In practice I never learnt much of it, and I've forgotten most of it. The variables need to be initialised and I can't remember how to do that, for example

That y++ needs a semicolon too.

>>4533191
>opened 4 brackets
>closed 2
what have I done.

while(xy<totalNumberOfSquares)
{
while(y<verticalNumberOfSquares)
{
while(x<horizontalNumberOfSquares)
{
if (square(x,y)==1)
{
square(x++,y)++;
square(x,y++)++;
}
x++;'
}
y++
}
}
That should be better, assuming I didn't fuck the syntax too horrifically.

>>4533168
Ooh, that would make sense. In that case it's kinda interesting.
>>4533161
should be, I suck at programming and I could do it.


while(xy<totalNumberOfSquares){
while(y<verticalNumberOfSquares){
while(x<horizontalNumberOfSquares){
if (square(x,y)==1){
square(x++,y)++;
square(x,y++)++;
x++;'
}y++
}

But you didn't repeat it. If you'd repeated it then you'd have black lines down the side and the top, and a wedge of solid grey after that. What you seem to have done is continue up/down with no apparent pattern.

>>4533114
I honestly have no idea what you mean. If you did what I think you said you did you'd have an solid block of grey with a diagonal line of black then whites from thereonin.
