I have just seen the film Van Helsing, but am not sure in which year it is set. The Eiffel Tower in Paris is about half built, so this would be a clue to its' date. Sorry to be so vague, but really...
Everyone knows that build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door, but does anyone see things from the mouse's perspective. Mice really need machine guns to protect themselves...
Everyone knows that a normal honeybee weighs about 90 milligrams, and the queen bee weighs about 150 milligrams. How large would a queen bee have to be to weigh 150 kilograms, which is more than I am....
Many of you should remember arcade games from the 1980s like OutRun, Hang On and finally Operation Wolf. These were issued in the mid to later 1980s, but are not around any more. Can anyone tell me...
Not sure if this is in the right area, but here goes anyway. Where can I see online views of the sun from other planets, other than Earth? One of you has kindly shown me views of Earth from space, but...
Not sure if this is the right area, or if I have got my facts right, but will post this here anyway. I have heard that AirAisa have just placed the largest ever order in history for civil airplanes....
Yes, I know that pets are priceless to us, and some people like them more than they love their children, but how much are they worth in financial terms. We had, until recently, a mother brown tabby...
Some years ago I saw in a paper satellite pictures of New York, The Great Wall of China, and also The Pyramids at Egypt. There were all from the Internet, but can not recall the site there were from....
I have just seen this advertised on the Internet, and wondered if it is totally bona fide. It is a ticket to get you into Heaven. Does anyone know if this is a con or not, and has anyone here got one?...
I know that this is a long shot, but hope someone here will know what film this is about. The tagline for it reads "Sometimes the best plan is to have no plan at all". I think it is set in...
I have been told by my friend that all old people who are not married, are single by their own choice. This seems to be a very broad and optimistic observation, and I would like a second opinion on...
Everybody in the whole world has seen Die Hard with a Vengeance, but can anyone here tell me which type of guns Bruce Willis's character uses? Is is common to have 2 of them in a holster, and how many...
I have just read that a cat can run at 30 mph, so does that mean one could beat Usain Bolt in the 100 metre sprint then? What about a tyrannosaurus rex then? Would that be faster than the world's...
Not sure if I am in the right area again, but here goes. I understand that we know more about the surface of Mars than we do about the seabed, but how is this measured? We can not send submarines down...
I have just learned that the film "The Human Centipede part 2: Full Sequence" is not to be shown in this country following a total ban by the BBFC. Is this correct, and if so when did they...

What is the largest single object a person has swallowed? I do not mean a sword, as you do not completely swallow that, but something that has stayed down. I suppose this would be in the case of drug...
Sorry if this is in the wrong area, but need to know how much my new watch is worth. As you all know my uncle died some weeks ago, and one of the few things I inherited from him was a watch. I know it...
Not sure if this is the right area, but will ask it all the same. Some years ago when the Victorians were busy inventing useless things they had a plan to convert the Eiffel Tower into a tower drop....
Sorry if this question has been asked before, but can any of you tell me what is the supposed duty of a Godparent? Mine does not seem to have done anything for me at all, except my silly and...
