I thought the objective was to have the least amount of posts x years since joined???


There is a certain ratio of posts to length of time on here that signifies intelligence and understanding of the site. Too many posts to fast, you're a babbling idiot. Too few posts in too much time, you don't have enough dedication to the site. It's a zen thing.



If you get the ratio right, and qualify under certain other secret beige criteria, we'll send you the address and the password of the real site.


Doh, your on to me

Does anyone know why Tuesdays are always so hot within 26' of the equator?

I'll rephrase that, is it the sound of one hand clapping, or trees falling in the forest that wakes a black bear from hibernation?

Of course, we all know brown bears wake up because of migrating quails.

that depends on whether the swallow was carrying a coconut.

The swallow was " unladen " so no coconut

I think it really depends on whether it's an African or European Swallow.

But seagulls don't have eyebrows :)




Only baby seagulls have eyebrows....
Ok, who has ever seen a baby seagull?

To begin with, I needed basic kinematic data on African and European swallow species.


Although 47 of the 74 worldwide swallow species are found in Africa,1 only two species are named after the continent: the West African Swallow (Hirundo domicella) and the South African Swallow (Hirundo spilodera), also known as the South African Cave Swallow.

Since the range of the South African Swallow extends only as far north as Zaire,2 I felt fairly confident that this was the non-migratory African species referred to in previous discussions of the comparative and cooperative weight-bearing capabilities of African and European swallows.3

Kinematic data for both African species was difficult to find, but the Barn or European Swallow (Hirundo rustica) has been studied intensively, and kinematic data for that species was readily available.

It takes the energy equivilent of burning 5,356 European swallows to cook a 2kg leg of lamb, once you have removed all the eels from your hovercraft.

Why Some Men Have a Dog And No Wife:

1. The later you are, the more excited your dogs are to see you.

2. Dogs don't notice if you call them by another dog's name.

3. Dogs like it if you leave a lot of things on the floor.

4. A dog's parents never visit.

5. Dogs agree that you have to raise your voice to get your point across.

6. Dogs find you amusing when you're drunk..

7. Dogs like to go hunting and fishing.

8. A dog will not wake you up at night to ask, "If I died, would you get another dog?"

9. If a dog has babies, you can put an ad in the paper and give them away.

10. A dog will let you put a studded collar on it without calling you a pervert.

11. If a dog smells another dog on you, they don't get mad. They just think it's interesting.

And last, but not least:

12. If a dog leaves, it won't take half of your stuff.

To test this theory:
Lock your wife and your dog in the garage for an hour. Then open it and see who's happy to see you.

In order to maintain airspeed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right? So in summary, beat it 42 times and swallow,,, got it!

I think I over cooked it.
It has shrunk to the size of an unladen european swallow.

Answer:

It depends on whether you are talking about an African or European swallow.

The airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow is roughly 11 meters per second, or 24 miles per hour*, beating its wings 7-9 times per second (rather than 43). But please note that a 5 ounce bird cannot carry a one pound coconut.
