*starts to explain, but three men in dark coats and sunglasses come in and take him away*

2. Skinnydipping, anyone?

I don't think Skinny has dipped anyone recently, but I hear he's due for a comeback...

3. Why do Hotdogs come in packages of 10 when hotdog BUNS come in packages of 8?

A survey conducted by the FCC and the BBB in 1956 showed that one in five people prefer to eat their hot dogs in some manner other than in a bun. Government regulation over the past 43 years has eventually forced all companies who sell hot dogs and buns in equal numbers out of business.

4. So how many people won UK passports?

I have no bloody idea... :-)

5. "This, above all: _________________"

6. What is in the mixed drink "Orgasm"?

Trust me, you don't want to know!
*actually, has no idea* :-)

7. Who invented the Polyester Leisure Suits?

Baloo.

8. How many "World's Largest Ball of Strings" are there, and where are they located?

Well, by definition, if it's the largest, there can be only one. And, if that be the case, it must belong to the Highlander... :-)

9. Who here owns a mac? *grrr*

The computer, or the sweater? :-)

10. "Once upon a time, __________________"

"...there lived three weasels: a papa weasel, a mama weasel, and a little weasling. One day, the weasels were just sitting down to eat their acorn sludge, when little Baby weasel (who preferred 'Baby', to his real name 'Quentin Murgatroyd Ferretman IV') screamed like a banshee, 'MY SLUDGE IS TOO F***ING HOT!!!'. The weasel parents agreed that their sludge was also too f***ing hot, so they all decided to go out and rob a bank while they waited for it to cool. Now, while they were gone, Goldiechops happened across their home. Since the absentminded rodents had left their door open, the amoral young delinquent decided to go in and see what she could rip off. When she got inside, she found three bowls of acorn sludge on the table. She took one taste and nearly vomited. She perched the bowls over the doorway, and snuck out the window. When the weasels came home, the first thing they were greeted w/ was three bowls of sludge poured over their heads. Baby weasel was the only one who had any comment: 'S***!'"

1) Two possibilities: Teflon is "sprayed" onto pans, or that a teflon sheet has a sticky side and a no-stick side where you fry your stuff. Doesn't mean it works. I've had trouble getting burnt eggs offa that thing with lots of soap.

2) *Looks down* Nope.

3) I had a habit of eating raw hot dogs long ago.

4) My dad had one since his birthplace was Hong Kong.

5) *looks up* Above what?

6) Don't know. Anyone heard of a drink called a "Blowjob"? (For those with a weak heart, it DOES exist, known for the large amount of whip cream on the top.) And no, I've tried neither. I don't drink Alcohol. Guess that makes me a boring person.

7) Ummmmmm........

8) Ummmmmm........

9) I bought a Big Mac for lunch today. Does that count?

10) ....... it was a dark and stormy night....... (one horrible beginning followed by another....)

It works like this...

2.) Skinnydipping, anyone?

I barely ever go swimming with my clothes on

3.) Why do Hotdogs come in packages of 10 when hotdog BUNS come in packages of 8?

I don't think this is true any longer.

4.) So how many people won UK passports?

I don't know, and I can't seem to come up with a humorous bluff.

5.) This, above all: To thine own self be true. Failing that, just get as much money as you can and take a trip.

6.) What is in the mixed drink "Orgasm"?

Dinner and a movie, if you're charming enough.

7.) Who invented the Polyester Leisure Suits?

Swingers.

8.) How many "World's Largest Ball of Strings" are there, and where are they located?

Three. Here, here, and over there.

Posted by Jeff Raven (Member # 20) on :
 
AH HA! I do have another answer for teflon question, but I shall go through the ten questions as well.

1.< chemistry student mode> Well, there is the way that Sol has provided, but there is another way, which works much better. First of all, Teflon does stick to something...Teflon. Teflon is made of long chains of carbon atoms, with flouride substituants. What they do is have another type of teflon, made with flourine, but also another halide, that will bond with the metal surface of the pan. One side of the teflon sticks to the pan, while the other side sticks to the teflon that does not contain the bonding halide, Thus making teflon stick to teflon that sticks to the pan...hehehe. *bows* < /chem student mode>
2. You bring the nonfat cool whip, I'll bring the strawberries!
3. What Frank said.
4.Not I. I don't think I'd blend in very well. My British accent sounds like Australian, and my Australian sounds like its British(as natives of both those countries have told me).
5. My IQ.
6. Wouldn't you like to know, Ms. Sex Goddess...
7. Leisure Suit Larry, of course.
8. 42.
9. *makes applesauce out of Frank*
10. ...someone got the idea to subject forum patrons to a series of questions over and over and over again... That person was never heard from again.

Indeed. The most important factor in deciding is

But no, my life is nowhere near that interesting. I haven't been near a pool for almost a year now.

1. If nothing sticks to Teflon, how does Teflon stick to the pan?

I think it has something to do with sandblasting it on, but I'm not certain.

2. Skinnydipping, anyone?

If you mean swimming naked... No. If you mean dipping my enemies (skinny or no) in a vat of boiling oil... Maybe.

3. Why do Hotdogs come in packages of 10 when hotdog BUNS come in packages of 8?

*Nature show host speak* Here we see a rather remarkable trait developed by the warmicus wooficus, also known as the common hot dog. In order for two (a male and a female) to survive the onslaught of human consumption, they flock together in groups of ten. Since it is generally known that hot dogs are consumed in a one-to-one ratio with their symbiotic counterparts, the breadicus coveris, the two aforementioned hot dogs survive to ensure more hot dogs in the future. *End nature show host speak*

4. So how many people won UK passports?

There was a contest?

5. "This, above all: _________________"

This above all: Tines are our friends.

6. What is in the mixed drink "Orgasm"?

I don't know, nor do I wish to know.

7. Who invented the Polyester Leisure Suits?

Aliens. When the symbiotic leisure suit attaches itself to a human host, it creates a disc jockey of the sort that Jon became in a certain Garfield cartoon episode.

8. How many "World's Largest Ball of Strings" are there, and where are they located?

I don't know, but I would hope that they were nowhere near any "World's Largest Ball of Cats," or else there would be a really big mess.

9. Who here owns a mac? *grrr*

She hath spoken the evil word! Attach the Stone of Shame!

10. "Once upon a time, __________________"

Once upon a time, the universe existed as a fiery point. Then, that point exploded, sending matter flinging to the far points of the cosmos... *Krenim then starts listing important event in history* ...and then sporks were invented. The End.

2. Skinnydipping, anyone?

Not now, my aunt is watching.

3. Why do Hotdogs come in packages of 10 when hotdog BUNS come in packages of 8?

They were designed by the crew from baywatch?

4. So how many people won UK passports?

Three people. They all went mad and then married the same horse, on the same day in brussels.

5. "This, above all: _________________"

Curry?

6. What is in the mixed drink "Orgasm"?

2 litres of stuff

7. Who invented the Polyester Leisure Suits?

*ahem*

1. I did not get this without using paper.

2. I'm still not sure this is the right answer.

3. It did not involve parametric equations.

4. Work is below showing how I got it for all you calculus-impaired people out there. (GA better not be doing this for homework, or else I'll get ticked off.)

dy/dx = y - x

dy = (y - x) dx

dy = y dx - x dx

y = yx - (1/2)x2

y (1 - x) = - (1/2)x2

y = x2/(2x - 2)

To give commedians a source from which to base a 30 minute long comedy routine.

1)*read the article Sol provides a link to*

2)Last time I took a swim was 7 years ago. It's been such a long time I don't even know the past tense. Swom? Swam? Swimmed (I know it's not swimmed people, I was just kidding)

3)We don't have that problem here. Buns come per 10, hot dogs per 10 or value packs of 20. At least we call them hot dogs but..

4)?? I wouldn't even want one. It's a bit of a weird country. Brown beer and stuff.

5)hair (if you're lucky/young enough, but not too young)

6)I could tell you but I'd get myself banned.

7)American-Chinese buisiness woman Esther Po Lee.

8)No idea. But we have an elastic band ball somewhere in a drawer downstairs and it's about three inches in diameter. Do I qualify?

9)Not me for sure.

10)..people realised how hackneyed this opening sentence had become and became more creative.

1. If nothing sticks to Teflon, how does Teflon stick to the pan?

Teflon is a myth perpetuated by the DuPont corporation in the certain knowledge that non-stick aluminum doesn't sound "sexy" enough, but some mysterious non-stick substance with a scientific-sounding name will move tons of product regardless of whether it exists or not.


2. Skinnydipping, anyone?

You don't want to see some of the people here naked. Trust me. I know these things.

3. Why do Hotdogs come in packages of 10 when hotdog BUNS come in packages of 8?

The Gnomes of Zurich decreed it be thus as a concession to the baked goods industry. In compensation, the meat-packing industry is allowed to use any substance whatsoever in the construction of these pseudo-sausages. That is one of the reasons Jimmy Hoffa is still missing.

4. So how many people won UK passports?

No. The more correct question is: "How many people wanted UK passports. I would, if someone offered to give me a guided tour of all the pubs within a 2,000 mile radius of London (distance chosen on the basis that there may be such things in Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and possibly even the European Continent, and I don't want to miss a one).

5. "This, above all: _________________"

If you forget to put the seat down, you're twenty-seven kinds of oaf, but if you don't forget, nobody gives you credit for remembering. Therefore, leave the seat up once in a while as a reminder that we're still waiting for one, solitary "thank you".

6. What is in the mixed drink "Orgasm"?

I discovered 2 versions.
ORGASM (1st)
1 oz Kahlua \ 1 oz Baileys Irish Cream \ 1 oz Amaretto
fill cream
ice \ rocks or up
(add 2 scoops ice cream or mix)

ORGASM (2nd)
1 oz Amaretto \ 1 oz Baileys Irish Cream \ 1 oz Kahlua
no mix
ice \ rocks or up

Gimme some!

7. Who invented the Polyester Leisure Suits?

The same folks who were responsible for the "White-Buck-Shoes-and-Belt-Conspiracy". They have since been dealt with. Permanently. Let that be a lesson to us all.

8. How many "World's Largest Ball of Strings" are there, and where are they located?

If this category includes belly-button lint, I know of several.

9. Who here owns a mac? *grrr*

What? The truck or the computer?

OK, the equation I posted was a tricky one, and when I did it in my head, I must have been in "The Zone", or something. No matter!!

Krenim: You're probably going to get medievil on my ass with a temporal inversion, but what you did was incorrect. You cannot split up an equation like that (i.e. a non-homogeneous eqn.) the way you did. Reason is that you're looking for y, and you integrated it [yx->(yx^2)/2) as if it were a constant, which it is not.

Here's the way I did it:

dy/dx = y-x. Multiply across by exp(-x). Get:

[exp(-x)]dy/dx -y[exp(-x)] = -x[exp(-x)]

Now use the Product Rule (for differentiation) backwards on the Left Hand Side(LHS):

d(y[exp(-x)])/dx = -x[exp(-x)] (OK so far?) or
d(y[exp(-x)]) = (-x[exp(-x)])dx.

Integrating both sides, we get
y*exp(-x) on the LHS,
and after Integrating by Parts
x*exp(-x) + exp(-x) on the RHS.

NOW, if you divide across by exp(-x), you will be left with
y =x + 1,
which if checked satisfies the original equation (d(x+1)/dx =1
y(=x+1)-x =1)

That's the way I did it. It's a bit of a hard one alright. Sorry about that.

Maybe you should hurry up and judge it before they go into simultaneous equations of ten variables in the sixteenth degree... :-)

.............set an open course for the Virgin sea,
For I've got to be free
Free to face the life that's ahead of me

On board I'm the captain
So climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow
On every shore
And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try
To carry on

Dee bee bedee
Bee bee bedee
Bee bee bedee
Bee bee bedee

'Gathering of angels appeared above our heads
They sang to us this song of hope and this is what they said, they said

Come sail away
Come sail away
Come sail away with me

Lord, Come sail away
Come sail away
Come sail away with me

I thought that they were angels
But to my surprise
We climbed aboard their starship
And headed for the skies

Come sail away
Come sail away
Come sail away with me

Lord, Come sail away
Come sail away
Come sail away with me, Lord
