Where is "Down Under"?

Can anyone tell me how to calculate the exact location of the opposite side of the Earth from any given point? That is to say, if I took the co-ords for my own home town, what formula must I use to...

In addition to "Next 10 or 20>>" wouldn't it be logical to add a "Most Recent>>" or "Latest>>" link? Some threads are popular enough to require several pages and those who wish to revisit to read...

Don't get me wrong, I detest this piece of dumbed down televisual crud, but a friend of mine posed me a question he saw on there but couldn't remember the correct answer! The question was: 'Which...

Lost movies

Last I heard, 'Annie get your gun' was a lost movie. That is to say that all copies of the original movie were destroyed in a fire and were therefore unavailable for broadcasting or purchase. However,...

The unseen character.

Frasier's Sister in Law 'Maris', Rumpole's wife (she who must be obeyed), Charlie from Charlie's Angels, etc All characters you either see very little of or not at all. Can you think of any others?

Saturday Morning TV - 60's & 70's

Anybody (in the UK at least) remember a cartoon called 'Marine Boy' and a Saturday morning cartoon extravaganza called 'Tomfoolery'? The latter was, I believe, based on the poetry of Edward Lear. I...

Gravity & Water

If a planet consisted of nothing but water (unlikely I know but bear with me) would the 'core' be superheated and gaseous and if so would the bubbles rise to the surface? Could such a 'planet' even...

Answer: When it's an ape! Why is it so difficult to educate the masses to the fact that chimps are NOT monkeys? It really gets my hackles up each time i see a news report featuring a chimp with the...

'An' hotel?

If the purpose of using 'an' before a vowel sound is to help speech flow more freely, why do we use 'an' before a sounded 'h'? Surely this defeats the purpose? If I allow myself to be somewhat...

What would be the best way to invent a brand new word and have it so widely accepted that it makes it into the dictionary within say, a year or two? Any ideas? Incidentally, I heard that the word...
