    You know when you've finished with your fork and you stick it in the ground for later?

    Wonder how many times you've accidentally stabbed a mole? You'd never know :dunno:

      You should always clean the tines, and lay your fork away in your tool shed

      On the otherhand if sticking it in the ground is your want, If you have not had any mole hills around, unlikely that you would stab a mole, However IF you did stab a mole, it would squeak, a fountain of gore would rise up, then at night four thousand moles would eat your flesh

      Sleep well

          I am glad that I am not alone in having random thoughts like this - one I was pondering the other day:

          Most of us have central heating systems that include provision for hot water - the principles of operation are simple really, cold water is heated to about 70ºC and pumped round a network of pipes and radiators where it gives off its heat and then it returns back to be heated again. Now, note the approx 70ºC temperature....

          Water boils at 100ºC in open air (approx, depending on air pressure), and that figure rises when water is heated under pressure (as it is in a car cooling system or a central heating system), so why do we call the device that heats the water a boiler? It isn't boiling anything?

            That's why I love the vagaries of our language :blue thumb:

            It's the name for something you can heat liquid in for the intention of boiling it.

            Apart from the fact that when I was a kid the only thing I thought a boiler was, was a chicken for our soup! Almost impossible to buy them nowadays :dunno: (a Christmas capon is about the nearest thing :sad:).

            Fact:- 71C would be sufficient to boil water at the top of Everest :heehee:. It depends on the air pressure and vaporisation levels. All easily calculated if you use the Clausius-Capeyron equation. Which we all have at our fingertips :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

              How is it that wild birds can pile on fat for warmth and migration yet still look slim whereas if humans pile on fat we certainly don't still look slim:scratch::snork:

                  Toads love to cosy up in Compost bins or find a nice warm spot in the greenhouse border over winter, I wonder how many have been chopped by mistake? I know I have been closed a couple of time

                    Laziness is built into humans, and all living things. It's a survival strategy to make the most of limited resources. In us humans, laziness drives us to develop technology that will save us from having to walk, or hunt, or hand wash our clothes. But we get it wrong, because in our efforts to eliminate the need to do a particular piece of work manually, we often do far more work and expend more energy avoiding a task than we'd use if we just did it. There. That's my random muse of the day:)

                      Showering/Bathing, I always start on my left hand up across down to the right, then follow a system that means the whole body is clean, often wondered if anybody else follows a set "route" or is it just me

                        Words that seem wrong to me:-

                        What's with using the word 'lisp' for people that have problems pronouncing an 's'? :doh:

                        Why does the word 'ambiguous' only have one meaning when lots of other words have many meanings? :scratch:

                        'Dyslexia' is a stupid word for people who have difficulty spelling or reading! :hate-shocked:

                        'Success' only comes before 'Work' - in the dictionary! :old:

                              Question re washing:-

                              Do right handed people wash their left arm first and do left handed people wash their right arm first?
