    ahahah, lower!



    edit: ah screw it. €125

    Thats how much it was where I worked anyway. Nice stuff, but not worth that amount. The Henessy Paradis Extra (a snip at €25 a shot) is nicer imo.

    If the strands of DNA were taken from every cell in the human body & laid out end to end, how far would it stretch?

    Time's up. It is 20,000,000KM, give or take a couple of thousand KMs.

    Don1 - You take the next question.


    I must protest against this question, sorry people...

    If the average Human body has around 60 trillion cells (60,000,000,000,000) and each cell contains roughly about 2 meters of DNA when joined end to end..

    How is the answer only 20,000,000...

    Thou doth protest too much.

    Look smartypants - the figure of 20,000,000 km was given in "A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson.

    Why was Ping-Pong once banned in Russia?

    It was a capitalist plot to overthrow the glorious Motherland's beloved party and its benevolent leaders?

    Hill Billy, Do you believe everything you see or read?

    I used simple mathematical calculations, based on scientific facts to find the exact answer to your question.

    I do not know who Mr. Bill Bryson is but I'm sure even he couldn't argue with the already research and proven numbers which I already stated previously.

    An average human body contains 60,000,000,000,000 cells each containing 2 metres of DNA. Do the math!

    Sorry but you can't argue with science!!!!!

    What pretty colours! And I'm sure that it is a lovely chest you have too.

    If you want to get all serious about this I respectfully suggest that you feck off to Puzzles & Quizzes. Either that or stick the kettle on & learn your place.

    Question needed I think...

    What was special about the Down team that entered the National Hurling League this year? (2008)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,172 ✭✭✭Don1
