Random Fact & Question Thread

On the surface, most of us on NSG fit into one of a few stereotypical groups; the liberals, conservative, whacked-out-religious nutjobs, godless heathens and miscellaneous. But, some threads bring out another side to our fellow posters were never realised was there.

The objective of this thread is to focus on the lesser known aspects of our fellow posters!

This would be the alternative answer to the Player Info thread.

This is unstructured, in that you can ask very random, vague questions and leave it open for the person to respond.

This is a thread for questions that do not include politics or religion.

All questions are to be random and generic so anyone can answer.

I'll start:

You're faced with a moral dilemma; do you buy a gift card or take a gamble on a more personal gift?

EDIT - I'm going to ask the mods to fix the typo in the title.

If the person means a lot to me, I would definitely get a more personal gift with lots of thought. I like making gifts for my friends too.

My question: Should walnuts have the right to vote?

i'd take the gamble. gift tokens always seem so shit, i'd rather have the ready cash.

my Q: you get home from work at three in the morning, get to sleep by 7am, are woken up at 930 (on a saturday) by the builders next door using a circular saw for the rest of the morning meaning you can't get back to sleep. you are expected at work at 3 that afternoon for a twelve hour shift, do you call in sick or do you go to work and suffer it?

Presumably, any combination of staying fully clothed, remaining in the company of others, leaving the lights on and/or carrying a flashlight, letting police or other qualified people search for serial killers, or responding to danger in a reasonably logical manner. I would clearly have no place in a horror movie if I did those things.

Chaps never do.Have you studied geography too much when you make bad geography jokes?Too hypothetical for me. Geography might as well be a city in Russia as far as I'm concerned & some asshole lifted my humour in Trivandrum.What does A(g64,g64) evaluate to?Posi failing at being human.Has anyone else noticed La Dame's poopyhead sarcasm?Wouldn't know, haven't asked.What do you most like about NSG?:sniper: :gundge: :mp5: You're in a horror movie. What do you NOT do?Knock the protagonist senseless, then leave the bastard a weapon, turn my back & twiddle my thumbs 'til he wakes up & kills me.What do you find disturbing?Depending on the situation, tits, cock & beer. Regardless of circumstances, one or more of those never fails to interrupt me.Why do women's pants never seem to be designed to fit actual human beings?Because they're designed by men, who we all know haven't realised women are human.ever had the desire to punch a baby in its face?At least a couple of times a week.How many years must I walk in this desert?Zero.

Here's a random question spurred by sudden experience:
Does anyone else randomly get cravings for bizzare foodstuffs? Right now I am so in the mood for some chicken satay.

Random vravings indeed, today was one of those days i just felt like eating.
You mean sandals?

Yes, if you want to, or if your feet will get cold without them.

My question:
Which is better as a method of contraception - marbles or karate?
Karate, and yes i did mean sandals i thought it looked odd.

You're faced with a moral dilemma; do you buy a gift card or take a gamble on a more personal gift?
Without exception, the more personal gift.

my Q: you get home from work at three in the morning, get to sleep by 7am, are woken up at 930 (on a saturday) by the builders next door using a circular saw for the rest of the morning meaning you can't get back to sleep. you are expected at work at 3 that afternoon for a twelve hour shift, do you call in sick or do you go to work and suffer it?
I would most likely defy them sleep, then go to work. 12 hours is a long shft though. I need the money.

A solid, but it can be a liquid if you want it to be. ;)

Why does every guy joke about their left nut, but never their right?

EDIT - I'm going to ask the mods to fix the typo in the title.

I usually buy a gift card to a steak house or something of the sort. My parents are the exception though, I'd find a personal gift of their likings. My sister, usually cash does the work for practically everybody else a gift card will work.

Question: is glass a liquid or a solid? Why?

Liquid, because it very slowly adopts the shape of its container.

A liquid.
Why? Because it is. *shrug*

My brain doesn't really want to believe it, though, so I've been waiting for an opportunity to get up close to a really old piece of lead glass from, say, a church window to check if it's really thicker at the bottom than at the top as it should be with the glass slooooooooooooowly flowing downwards.

It really depends on if the guy is right-nutted of left-nutted. You must only meet right-nutted guys.

My Question: Does one have an NSG problem if one is ferociously typing random questions on one's laptop at 1 AM?

Ask WYTYG.

Another question: Is Ruffy going to end up being the same standard poll accessory, kind of like how on The Wheel of Fortune, when the final phrase came up, you were given R S T L N and E?

The article in Wiki that I read said that a case can be made for treating glass as either a solid or a liquid, but that generally, it's a solid. And the "antique glass thicker at the bottom because of flowing" is a myth. The glass in old window is thicker at the bottom because of the way the sheets were made. They used a technique that spun glass out into flat sheets, but because of centrifugal forces, the edges would be slightly thicker. When the glass was cut for installation, the thicker edges were routinely placed at the bottom of the window pane. I always thought it flowed, too.

If Dick Cheney is a "half-glass full" kinda guy, then where or who is the rest of the glass? And is it full or empty?
