    Well? Why?! Before a load of experts tell me, let's have this thread for sharing any other little mysteries you wonder about?

    I'll start us off with two more.

    If Buzz Lightyear thinks he isn't a toy, why does he stop moving when humans are around?

    Why does everyone think Humpty Dumpty is an egg?!

    Because he thinks he's on a different planet. When he sees the huge humans he's instinctively freezes and plays dead.

    Just because it doesn't start with a Daily Mail link or something about public service pay, why would it be locked?

    Must be very sombre lock-ins you lads partake in!

    Humpty Dumpty thing has something to do with Richard 3rd falling off his horse in battle and being trampled to pieces. Doesn't it? I don't know.

    Got it's name because people used to give them in exchange for cash to buy drugs or just in exchange for drugs (blow).

    This is where it originates, nothing to do with the action itself.

    The Buzz Lightyear thing - It's clearly because even if he doesn't know he's a toy, he still is a toy, so he acts like one - It's instinctive.

    If you have some land, do you own it all the way to the core?

    Why does an alarm "go off", when it actually turns on?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,150 ✭✭✭.E_C_K_S.

    As far as I know it needs air to cure (ie, what the lay man calls dry) as some components need to evaporate away. This is obviously absent in the tube.

    If you have some land, do you own it all the way to the core?
    No. In this country, you own the land down to ten feet or something like that. The land below that belongs to the state.
    Why does an alarm "go off", when it actually turns on?
    Most alarms work on the basis of maintaining an active loop of some kind. When that loop is disturbed it is set to "off" and the siren activates.
    So the alarm has been "set off".
