The "Ask Beaker" thread.

Dear beaker,

What's the best lowish-risk 10-year investment for 5 grand?

[BrilloPad]

Beaker, if I have a 2kg bag of frozen peas (small peas) in my freezer and I've already eaten two 200 gram servings, how many peas do I have left? Not the weight, the number please!

Who was it that said something along the lines of

I cannot prove whether or not God exists but since if he does, the benefit of belief is eternal happiness in heaven and the cost of not believing is hell, and if he doesn't exist the cost or benefit is nothing, then there is infinite reason to believe.

Was it Newton? I'm sure he expressed it much better than I just did.

There is also a huge teapot flying in a far away galaxy, you cannot prove if it exists or not, however if you believe in it you will live forever in ecstasy if not you will be locked in a room forever with a suity with manflu.

I'm only making a wild guess rus, but I think a teapot metaphor misses the point.

Even more so than the flying spaghetti monster.

All praise him.

But it does exist as Blandigrass the Gnome with his 1910 bathing costume hangs out there with the other members of Radio Gnome Invisible while grooving to some Camembert Electrique...

What will it do to stop MTT asking for you?
