    Birds of a feather is GREAT, absolutely fabulous... ok, thats a bit ****e, imho.

    Actually I have no relative who works in CIE, I was trying to be sarcastic.

    No, of course not all of the people in Peats are stupid, just the stupid ones.

    Its like the P.C. police follow everyone around waiting for them to make a stupid generalisation so they can go, "Hey, wait, you generalised, you should NEVER do that, under absolutely no situation is it ok to GENERALISE".
    Marie Curie was born November 7, 1867 in Poland and died on July 4, 1934. Her co-discovery with her husband Pierre Curie of the radioactive elements radium and polonium represents one of the best known stories in modern science for which they were recognized in 1901 with the Nobel Prize in Physics. In 1911, Marie Curie was honored with a second Nobel prize, this time in chemistry, to honor her for successfully isolating pure radium and determining radium's atomic weight.

    After the sudden accidental death of Pierre Curie, Marie Curie managed to raise her two small daughters (Irène, who was herself awarded a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1935, and Eve who became an accomplished author) and continue an active career in experimental radioactivity measurements.

    Marie Curie didn't invent radioactivity, she discovered it.

    ...i waited 3 pages and no one still has'nt said I've never seen an elephant fly...sheesh i thought that was practicaly set up on this topic...


    apart from that...yep wierd things in this world...well not in this world...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 947 ✭✭✭neXus9


    pop over to "women, know your place", and there is quite a few inventors mentioned.

    Don't forget that women were repressed for quite a long time. A lot of people can only mention a handful of inventors anyway, so I say there is a lot of female inventors out there, but they just havn't been put into the lime light.

    If only the photographer had moved a little to the left, we could see if this elephant has a fly or not...

    I think I should point out that most likely he dropped this in specifically BECAUSE there's a thread on this, just for anyone taking it seriously.

    There arnt many good female comedians, but i'd definatly have to count French and Saunders. Their show was quality.
    I vaguely remember Jo Brand being funny at one stage..... ooooh a woman comedian that swears! ooooh.....


    where was the point of this post?...
    I'm too ****ed to talk sense, just pulled an all nighter doing a project..... need sleep.

    That's because people look down on on midgets, well tall people do.

    Try to make allowances, remember a lift smells different to a midget.:rolleyes:

    There are 4 at the very least. Some others worth mentioning. Cast of "Birds of a feather"


    Sorry to state the obvious but none of the people listed above, with the exception of Jennifer Saunders are comediennes. They are actresses!


    Oh and Herbie747, to quote Homer J,
