Things you have discover that nobody else seems aware of

Cotton socks are one of the least useful things invented by mankind. Not only are they cold in winter, but they stink to high heaven in summer, and give you blisters. Yet despite wool mixes not being much more expensive than cotton, they still manage to sell millions of the them. You can even wear wool socks two or more days running.

I know that the hair that was collected at Auschwitz was used to knit into socks used by the crews of german u-boats - so the guide said anyway.

2) If nothing is coming the other way and a temporary traffic light has a small box on top, flash your lights to change it.

Thought that box was just a sensor to detect that a big object (a car) was there rather than a light sensor - how would it work during the daytime? Would it only let volvos through or other cars that drive about with their lights on.

I know some permanent lights do that on quiet roads.

When opening an oxo cube to crumble, only rip of one corner then crush the cube in it's foil. The crushed cube will fall out through the hole and you won't have any stuck to your fingers


The quality of any accomodation is directly proportional to the flow rate of the shower. (assume a flow rate of 0 if there is no shower installed)


When having found a cheap deal via a comparison site, check what the direct price is, going direct may be cheaper and offer better "options" in terms of delivery and/or payment

I think most lights do that now. I believe they have a flow model used in peak/daytime hours, and after that, light and sound sensors control flow.

Unless dey is stinky old skool.

I thought permanent lights used induction sensors in the road?

I think some do. Most now have a little sensor on the top.

I also did some work for TfL about the time the Olmpics were being bid for. Then, they were all manually controlled for soem reason, during rush hour too. Very odd.

If you lick your finger, then put it into an electric socket, you will get an electric shock. If you cross the fingers of the other hand, you will be safe.
scientists think its because the electrons form a 'henry field' and the adiabatic lapse rate prevents the ohms from flowing.

I love the concept of flowing ohms.

I wonder how it could be harnessed for the good of mankind?

I wonder how it could be harnessed to make a bloody big gun?
