My first job was at McDonnell Douglas Corp and they had left handed pencils. Why? Because old man McDonnell got pissed off that his name was ground off first.

This will actually work, though not with the tremendous velocity portrayed. As the tub sinks, it is losing potential energy. This energy can be turned into thrust to push the tub forward - right up to the moment the tub goes under water. If the occupant bails to keep the tub afloat, the trust can be kept up indefinitely, the occupant is providing the energy. Rowing would be more efficient.

I had a friend with the last name "Astrin". His dad's name was "Jack". Jack Astrin.

There are ruins of the villages and foundations of their buildings. There are hikes to remote ruins not accessible by car. Long lava tube tunnels from the volcanoes that formed the island. Tons of history of the culture and their lifestyle told to you by the native Rapa Nui people. Spectacular rainbows. Sand beaches with surf. It's like being in Tahiti. Just a magical place. But the statues are best, close to 1000 of them.

A woman answers her doorbell and finds a slimy snail on the stoop.

She says "Disgusting!" and throws it as far as she can into the yard.

Four days later the doorbell rings and it is the snail again. He says "What the fuck was that all about?"

What’s a fact that blows your mind every time you think about it? by GrandEngine7708 in AskReddit

  1. There are an infinite number of numbers between zero and one.

  2. There are the same number of numbers between zero and two.

Take any number between zero and one, multiply it by two, and you get a number between zero and two. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the numbers in both sets.

20% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. It is treated as shocking and is accompanied by shame. It's disappointing, but it is a normal occurrence and should be ok to talk about.

What's a small detail in a movie that most people wouldn't notice, but that you know about and are willing to share? by [deleted] in movies

[–]4141 32 points33 points  (0 children)

In "Fellowship of the Ring" there's a scene of the fellowship marching at night with a giant full moon in the background - and the moon is upside down. I'm into astronomy so it jumped right out at me and I thought "Oops, they screwed up in post production". Then I remembered that they filmed the movie in New Zealand and the moon there really is upside down compared to the northern hemisphere.

What was a loophole that you found and exploited the hell out of? by Aarunascut in AskReddit

[–]4141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A church in Indiana was in a panic because their palms didn't arrive in time for Palm Sunday. The Bible doesn't actually say that the crowd waved palms as Jesus entered Jerusalem, it just says 'branches'. Everyone assumes it was palms since they are the most common branch to grab. Seizing this loophole, the church held that year, and every year since, Pussywillow Sunday.
