Contrails are upper atmosphere moisture turned to steam by jet engines. They aren't caused by planes, they're caused by jets.

Blackheart · 05-02-2002, 02:28 PM

How long did you have to hunt for that Radagast?

That's close enough for me. You get the cigar.

I won't make you take it back to the trilateral KRN. ugh.

So the Cornish are the original "hill-billies"

The capital of Australia is Canberra.
The diameter of a CD is approx 12cm.
The Berlin wall was pulled down in 1989.
Don't know the others.

Imladris · 05-03-2002, 04:29 AM

I think it would be polite to wait for Radagast to ask his question, Andy.

aldesign · 05-03-2002, 04:45 AM

Imladris · 05-03-2002, 04:57 AM

Hope I didn;t sound too mean

, if you reallly can't wait to answer questions and then ask them, you could open upm a new thread with you as the only quizmaster, everyone has to answer your questions.

Imladris · 05-03-2002, 05:08 AM

I suppose it would be aqlright to ask a question now, as it has been over a day since Blackheart said Radagast was correct.

Andúril · 05-03-2002, 05:32 AM

What is the estimated top speed of the upcoming Bugatti Veyron (turbocharged model)?

BeardofPants · 05-03-2002, 05:40 AM

Cars... always the cars.

*Consults oracle.*

...405kph?

Andúril · 05-03-2002, 06:25 AM

Thine mind is one of inextricable beauty!

BeardofPants · 05-03-2002, 06:54 AM

In that case: my question.

What part of the skeleton articulates with the distal end of the radius?
(nice easy one.)

Bonus points if you can tell me why H. sapiens sapiens has a chin.

Andúril · 05-03-2002, 08:20 AM

I know I know!!

Ribcage!

I'm so clever. It's so true.

Anduril, quit thinking with your lower apendage, and pull your head out of your a$$.

*Buzzer sounds.*

Wrong!

Andúril · 05-03-2002, 08:51 AM

*BoP aims a super-dooper BoP kick (tm) to the seat of his pants.*

Anduril, don't make me come over there and hurt you again.

Nope, not breastbone, nor the pubic bone.

***azalea*** · 05-03-2002, 08:57 AM

The wristbones?
Don't know about the chin, maybe so the lower teeth have a place to go?
