    Presumably the bank/Post Office will raise the alarm as they leave?
    Drawing attention is irrelevant at that stage,unless you're concerned about people noticing and identifying you to the police,but who would finger armed robbers?

    How do they get the figs into the figrolls?

    I've asked this before and didn't get a satisfactory answer following an experiment I performed in work using a microwave,a wasp,a bluebottle and some jam.


    Why does it take 50 seconds to microwave a bluebottle to death while a wasp takes under 5 seconds?

    Can anyone explain the disparity in bluebottle and wasp cooking times?

    Bluebottles have less water in their bodies? Wasps are pretty squishy.

    I zapped a fly in a microwave and a human walked out of my neighbours microwave.

    If I am on an aeroplane that's moving at 500mph say, and I jump up, why do I land back in the same spot rather than a few feet further back down the plane (few feet back = time in the air X aeroplane speed). Like the plane is still moving but why am I? Same applies to a car but it's harder to jump inside a car...

    The same way that if you run fast and build up a speed of 500 miles miles an hour and jumped you would move forward at that speed? It's not just the plane aeroplane that's moving forward when you jump, all the passengers are too...

    I'm guessing the answer would be; the sex offender they end up sharing a cell with.

    Because they're fed up of waiting for you to come out?

    Why aren't you supposed to button the last button on a waistcoat or jacket?

    If it's not supposed to be buttoned, don't put a button and buttonhole there!

    Because an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force

    The earth is constantly spinning at high speeds (1000 kph) but when we jump we don't move a couple of feet back.

    Keeps all them folks in the one thread and limits their stupidity on other threads.

    Because their father was on O.J. Simpson's defence team and everyone involved in that trial became famous.

    Why does Ireland (a country famous for the volume of beer it drinks) drink so much cheap, watery ****? Think budweiser/carlsberg/coors etc.

    You didn't do anything to introduce an acceleration sideways. So, you will continue to move forward at 500mph because an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. See Newton for further details on this schoolboy physics.

    Well I drink Bud alot, not really the other two as I don't like the taste.

    For me its that I like the refreshing, light taste. I hate most 'craft' beers as they are just too heavy and it tastes like you are drinking fermented bin juice. I like Blue Moon but after two or so, it feels like my stomach has expanded to the size of a basketball.

    AND the whole boll**ks that goes with it. How people are cool and hip to be drinking Ballygobackwards Famous Black Foxhound Stout or some other ****.
