    This is one for spatial memory experts.

    I don't know if there's a name for when you have a different spatial memory of something's position than its real position. For instance, for years I might think, expect and visualise a house that I've been to several times as being on, say, a different side of the road to what it is. It only happens with a small number of places, but it's strange that my visual perception of these particular places remains out of sync with their real position.

    How do automatic wipers know when to wipe?
    Automatic wipers work on reflective light. A small laser shining onto a clear windscreen will not have any light reflected back to a sensor. As rain drops fall onto the windscreen, more light is reflected back to the sensor which will then trigger the wipers.

    Why the universe and reality itself exists in the first place and is there a "plan" to it?

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    FFG stands for "two cheeks of the same arse".

    It’s usually used by work-shy cranks with an IQ of about 85.
