    OK ... my question.

    How long does it take for a big toe-nail to grow back, once it has been completely ripped out ?

    For the sake of completeness ... the big toe-nail on my right foot (size 10).

    This is a genuine question - genuine answers are all that's required.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,637 ✭✭✭✭OldGoat


    Nail growth depends on many things including gender, age, hormonal flux and a host of other criteria, but the avarage growth rate is 1/8th inch a month. So, if your nail is 1 inch long then roughly 8 months to re-grow.
    (My kid did a school project on this a few months ago :))

    [In anticipation of a correct answer I'll pose a question]

    The origins or the motorbike are argued about and disputed over but the general consensous is that it was developed by two Germans. Name the two gentlemen.

    I believe that you are thinking of daimler and otto, can't rememebr first names... (but personally I believe it was an american caled roper, he made a coal and steam powered bike)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,637 ✭✭✭✭OldGoat


    Gottilieb Daimler was one half of the duo.
    Otto is not the person I was thinking off, or should I say that I really meant petrol engines rather then steam. Having said that I did see a working model of the Roper steam bike and it scared the bejebus outta me LOL

    The second German engineer has had a car named after him and they have been building them again since 2002.

    So what happens when two posters get a correct name each? Does that mean we get TWO questions posed? (Fingers Crossed)

    Antonio Ascari? Racing driver, father of Alberto, both of whom died on the track. He's the only driver I can think of around from around that era without hitting the books.

    This small country's population listing has grown by at least 2.8 million in the last hundred years. It went from being a British possession to being eyed by another power in the last century. What country?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,807 ✭✭✭✭Orion


    Hong Kong?


  • Registered Users Posts: 79 ✭✭rojerdandry


    Hong Kong's grown by at least 6 and a half million people. Good guess though.

    Tibet? Perhaps not a British 'possesion' but did have trade agreements signed by force of arms.

    Good question. I thought the answer might have been Ireland being watched over by them sneeky 'murcans, taking us over by stealth and a slow proscess of assimilation utilising The Television Box, but thats just the paranoid in me ranting. :)

    A doxology is "a hymn or verse in Christian liturgy glorifying God", but what might it have to do with this famous man's death by assassination?

    I was Damned a long long...LONG... time ago. :-)
    I wonder how many times a person can be damned? Once would seem to be enough, or does being double-damned take you to a damn'ier place then just a single damn does?

    Back OT. The bridge requires a lot of paint and is often used to discribe a sisyphusian task.

    Correct.
    I was going to put up a pic of the Tallahatchie bridge and quote from the song 'Ode to Billie Joe' but when I went looking for an image it seems that EVERY bridge across the river is called the Tallahatchie bridge. :-)

    Said to be more sexual than biblical. it still contains a reference to Samson. What is it?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    Is the song called Samson and Delilah ?

    ( covered by so many artists including the grateful dead )


  • Registered Users Posts: 79 ✭✭rojerdandry


    That's be a bit obvious - I don't think it would be wise to name part of the answer in the question.

    Halleujah by Leonard Cohen.
    I had the pleasure of seeing him play this year. Wonderful gig despite the rain.
    Cohen's songs are very influenced by both religion and sex. Being an old goat I tend to lean towards the non religious lyrical content ;-)

    Question in anticipation:

    Born today (18th-Dec-1932) this author is best known for his science-fiction and fantasy books but he has also dabbled in rock music.
