Hello, citizens of the Org.


Due to no request whatsoever, I've decided to start a thread where Orgers can post questions they've always wanted the answer to, and other Orgers can post the answers.

(Preferably without the use of Google. )

So come on, show your stupidity by asking questions which are pointless, and prove your intelligence by answering them in a patronising way.

My question:

I was wandering down the street this morning, scratching my ass, and i suddenly thought:

"Why are 'musical triangles', triangle?"

So that's my question. Why aren't they circular, or hexagonal?

For the sound waves to flow more easily out of a drunk man's buttocks whilst playing "Wipeout".

Why do birds suddenly appear when I drive by the old folks home? They seemed like such nice people.

It's to do with jinglyness, the more corners you have the less jinglyness there is. Each corner that a jingle goes through it looses a bit of jinglyness. Three is the smallest number you can have but still maintain a 3D shape.

i don't recall that lyric from the Carpenters' song.

But i suspect it's because you remind them of their guano.

TheFrog said:

Cos they wouldn't be called "Musical Triangles" Then and would be harder to store in a "Traingle" Box


I Have a Question.....

I am trying to find out the % distribution of Catalase through a potato.....any potato to begin with....Any Pointers

TheFrog said:

If they'd take their damn pills at medication time they wouldn't have to worry about that, now would they?

PREDOMINANT said:

no shit! thanks predom.

so a circle just wouldn't work then?

and i guess that would explain why the triangles are equilateral and not isosceles?

Steadwood said:

Thats simple, quantify the amount of catalase in a small homogenate of potato, using and ELISA or other some such immunoassay and then multiply that by the mass of the potato and convert to %.

TheFrog said:

Dunno I just made it up!

PREDOMINANT said:

why you little....!!!!

TheFrog said:

The circle shouls be better in that case, your right

...which loser invented the concept of a 5-day working week.... and a 2 day weekend?..... what a loser!

PREDOMINANT said:

You asked the question! Which bit don't you understand?

Can a thread about nothing go off topic?

RocknRollisalive said:

Yep I believe that was Mr Loser.

3 and 4 would be a much better idea

TheFrog said:

No accident.

I've always wondered who it was that discovered that eating the abnormally fat liver of a Goose would be considered a delicacy? Fois Gras
