I went past this yesterday, on the way back from Cornwall. Being bored, I got to thinking 'what do they actually do?' I had visions of massive code-breaking computers, top-notch mathmeticians spending...

Active Traffic Management - M42

Coming back from Cornwall, I drove though this yesterday rush hour. The wife wasn't impressed - thought it was a waste of money. I thought it might have improved things. So I thought I'd ask some...

Toilet rolls - ripping?

Why - even with the perforations - are toilet rolls so much better at ripping lengthways than crossways?

A-level sexism

I see that for the umpteenth year running girls have more/better a-level grades than boys. Which means, in turn, that girls will be more likely than boys to get into university. This seems to be sex...

Paintwork repairs on aluminium bodies

This one is really aimed at any Land Rover owners - I don't think any other cars have aluminium bodies, but I'll wait to be corrected... My '96 Disco is just starting to show the little white/grey...

Junction priorities

A hypothetical question, this, I haven't had an accident! A t-junction, with minor side-road joining major. Car wanting to turn right out of side-road, nothing on main road to left, but traffic coming...

Fly's flying abilities

(Another pointless fly question) How come flies are just so good at flying in formation with something? Have you noticed that frequently, when a fly is hassling you, if you move, the fly can keep...

Pointless fly question

What do flies do with their legs whilst flying? Do they tuck them up, neatly, like birds? Or just let them dangle?

Why doesn't AB use IPs to ID?

Many sites (EG ebay) use IP addresses to identify users and prospective users. I have 2 ebay IDs and I know that ebay know they are both the same person. This is how they are able to link IDs and...

Itemisation of probate values

(Hope the title makes sense!) How would I find out how the total of a person's estate was made up? I have obtained a copy of the will, from the Probate Office, and all it has is the total of the...

Can you hear a supersonic aircraft?

Would you hear a supersonic aircraft approaching you? So, if you were trying to shoot it down, it would be here and gone before you even knew about it? I think I know the theoretical answer to this...

Prime Minister arrested?

As a result of the recent 'honours for cash' scandal, it looks a distinct possibility that Mr Blair could well be arrested. Have any previous UK Prime Ministers even been arrested? Have any ever been...

Muslim suicide bombers

No category for religion, so I picked People as closest. This is a serious question, and I don't want any racist or reactionary remarks, thank you. Last week(-ish), in Iraq, a suicide bomber walked...

Help identifying butterfly

Well, I think it's a butterfly, it had butterfly-shaped wings, and flew like a butterfly, so I don't think it was a moth. I've never seen one before and I've had a look through loads of UK butterfly...

Why 10 fingers?

Anybody any ideas as to why nature/selection settled upon 5 as the optimum number of fingers/toes per limb? (Please don't sink to saying 'I only have 4'). This design is quite widespread, I believe,...

Should thin people be taxed?
