    How many roads must a man walk down
    Before you call him a man?
    Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
    Before she sleeps in the sand?
    Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
    Before they're forever banned?
    The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
    The answer is blowin' in the wind.

    very deep, it goes all the way to New Zealand. I dropped the cat down it last week, amazing echo and since she was wearing an ablative suit there were fireworks as well.

    Last night I found this yoke on the doorstep

    beside a blackened cat suit.

    Violet Raven

    Water fell fresh from the sky
    Its roll through the ground was a short trip
    to the basin of the dead volcano
    where flowers grew undisturbed among unbroken thorns.

    Only insects and the breeze disturbed
    the lush slopes thick with bramble.
    Soft signals closed out the cold.
    The depth of the lake lay unexplored
    and I drank pure water.

    the wind streamed strong over the stone lip of the well
    strumming the tongue of the empty column that fell
    the ground around hummed with the low vibration
    not a sound an ear could hear
    but a body felt the throbbing sensation
    as the water level dropped
    so did the intonation

    Grand, now lets throw it down some abandoned well.

    This reminds me of the thread titles that you see all over the start page from the poker forum. I don't have a well.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 47,528 CMod ✭✭✭✭Black Swan


    Well... I have one.*







    *Don't get excited! It's an expression, silly!

    I see what you did there. Looks like all's well that ends well.

    Hey homah_7ft! Who's "end" are you talking about?

    This is the one I was talking about. Only one point now for getting the right answer. It could be the end of the pheasant by the sounds of it.

    You should read that first post. It's really funny. I'm not giving you any bird. I think it's cruel to keep them in cages or clip their wings.

    Oooooooo, wants me to drop them and open a link on boards? I don't know you that "well!"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,126 ✭✭✭homah_7ft


    You should do it. We could get invaded by evil forces at any time. Again I can't say whether they will be evil to each other but that really isn't important right now.

    Eratosthenes knew that there was a deep well in Syene in Egypt.
    People walked down circular steps to get into the well to get water.
    It was very dark on the steps.
    But on one day a year (June 21st),
    the sunlight at noon shone all the way down to the bottom of the well.

    Eratosthenes went to another city further north in Egypt — Alexandria.
    On that same day of the year, sunlight did not reach the bottom of wells.
    And he noticed that his shadow was “longer.”

    Eratosthenes observed the shadow of a tall obelisk in Alexandria.
    He measured the angle of the shadow from the top of the obelisk.
    The angle was 7.12 degrees.
    The angle of shadows was 0 degrees in Syene.
    Eratosthenes divided the degrees difference in a whole circle (360 degrees).
    He found there were 50 pieces of “pie.”
    The distance between Syene and Alexandria was about 1/50th of a circle.
    1/50 of the circumference of the earth.

    The migration of holes is also depicted in the cartoon shown in Figure 3.

    semi3.gif

    Here, the chairs represent one-electron bonds,
    and the students represent the additional electrons
    that "migrate" to complete unsatisfied one-electron bonds.

    As the electrons shift to the right,
    the hole shifts to the left.

    if there was a frictionless tunnel from here to china
    one could fall to the center of the earth
    and have enough velocity to rise to the otherside

    there's a hole in my heart as deep as a well
    for that poor little boy stuck halfway to hell

    well we can't get him out so we'll do the next best thing
    go on the air and sing, sing, sing

    'cause we're sending our love down the well
    DOWN THAT WELL
    'cause we're sending our love down the well
    ALL THE WAY DOWN!

    indeed
    the tunnel would not pass through the center of the earth
    but one could still slide down th slide up the other side

    The Deep Sink

    The deep sink
    is a machine
    to help me make
    the dishes clean.

    When a scrub won't wipe the crusting,
    I soak them in the water
    for polarity's quite keen
    at loosening what clings.

    Some pans are
    hot like hell
    and cool quickly
    in the water well.
    But in the sink,
    they should not dwell
    and block flow
    of the machine.

    Take one out
    when you put one in
    to keep
    the rhythm working.

    `Once upon a time there were three little sisters,' the Dormouse began in a great hurry; `and their names were Elsie, Lacie, and Tillie; and they lived at the bottom of a well--'



    `What did they live on?' said Alice, who always took a great interest in questions of eating and drinking.



    `They lived on treacle,' said the Dormouse, after thinking a minute or two.
    `They couldn't have done that, you know,' Alice gently remarked; `they'd have been ill.'



    `So they were,' said the Dormouse; `VERY ill.'
    Alice tried to fancy to herself what such an extraordinary ways of living would be like, but it puzzled her too much, so she went on: `But why did they live at the bottom of a well?'



    `Take some more tea,' the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
    `I've had nothing yet,' Alice replied in an offended tone, `so I can't take more.'

    `You mean you can't take LESS,' said the Hatter: `it's very easy to take MORE than nothing.'
    `Nobody asked YOUR opinion,' said Alice.
    `Who's making personal remarks now?' the Hatter asked triumphantly.
    Alice did not quite know what to say to this: so she helped herself to some tea and bread-and-butter, and then turned to the Dormouse, and repeated her question. `Why did they live at the bottom of a well?'
    The Dormouse again took a minute or two to think about it, and then said, `It was a treacle-well.'



    `There's no such thing!' Alice was beginning very angrily, but the Hatter and the March Hare went `Sh! sh!' and the Dormouse sulkily remarked, `If you can't be civil, you'd better finish the story for yourself.'
    `No, please go on!' Alice said very humbly; `I won't interrupt again. I dare say there may be ONE.'
    `One, indeed!' said the Dormouse indignantly. However, he consented to go on. `And so these three little sisters--they were learning to draw, you know--'



    `What did they draw?' said Alice, quite forgetting her promise.
    `Treacle,' said the Dormouse, without considering at all this time.
    `I want a clean cup,' interrupted the Hatter: `let's all move one place on.'
    He moved on as he spoke, and the Dormouse followed him: the March Hare moved into the Dormouse's place, and Alice rather unwillingly took the place of the March Hare. The Hatter was the only one who got any advantage from the change: and Alice was a good deal worse off than before, as the March Hare had just upset the milk-jug into his plate.



    Alice did not wish to offend the Dormouse again, so she began very cautiously: `But I don't understand. Where did they draw the treacle from?'
    `You can draw water out of a water-well,' said the Hatter; `so I should think you could draw treacle out of a treacle-well--eh, stupid?'
    `But they were IN the well,' Alice said to the Dormouse, not choosing to notice this last remark.



    `Of course they were', said the Dormouse; `--well in.'
    This answer so confused poor Alice, that she let the Dormouse go on for some time without interrupting it.
    `They were learning to draw,' the Dormouse went on, yawning and rubbing its eyes, for it was getting very sleepy; `and they drew all mannerof things--everything that begins with an M--'
    `Why with an M?' said Alice.
    `Why not?' said the March Hare.
    Alice was silent.



    The Dormouse had closed its eyes by this time, and was going off into a doze; but, on being pinched by the Hatter, it woke up again with a little shriek, and went on: `--that begins with an M, such as mouse-traps, and the moon, and memory, and muchness-- you know you say things are "much of a muchness"--did you ever see such a thing as a drawing of a muchness?'



    `Really, now you ask me,' said Alice, very much confused, `I don't think--'
    `Then you shouldn't talk,' said the Hatter.
    This piece of rudeness was more than Alice could bear: she got up in great disgust, and walked off; the Dormouse fell asleep instantly, and neither of the others took the least notice of her going, though she looked back once or twice, half hoping that they would call after her: the last time she saw them, they were trying to put the Dormouse into the teapot.



    `At any rate I'll never go THERE again!' said Alice as she picked her way through the wood. `It's the stupidest tea-party I ever was at in all my life!'
    Just as she said this, she noticed that one of the trees had a door leading right into it. `That's very curious!' she thought. `But everything's curious today. I think I may aswell go in at once.' And in she went.



    Once more she found herself in the long hall, and close to the little glass table. `Now, I'll manage better this time,' she said to herself, and began by taking the little golden key, and unlocking the door that led into the garden. Then she wet to work nibbling at the mushroom (she had kept a piece of it in her pocked) till she was about a foot high: then she walked down the little passage: and THEN--she found herself at last in the beautiful garden, among the bright flower-beds and the cool fountains.
