Isn't it pretty strange though that the Moon is at the that right distance to do it?

It could be closer or just that bit furter away so that in an eclipse it didn't quite cover the disc of the Sun

I wished I had a great telescope.
I already saw one in a box...That's a trick to see it from a telescope because you cannot steer at it directly or you could get severed eyes damages

ah i see what you mean - yea never thought about that actually!

That the province of Quebec is the biggest producer of syrup. The whole Canada produce 85% of it worldwide.
And you need 40 gallons of the water like from the maple trees to produce, after the whole process of cooking, only One gallon of syrup.

Pete that site galileoandeinstein.physics.virginia.edu/more_stuff/flashlets is great.

Try the shoot Mars or Doppler interactive flash animations.

Thanks :icon25:

Man at this time of the night you just want to make me fall off my seat

If you are a novice in construction…
A stud 2X4 is in fact 1 ½ X 3 ½
A 2X3 is 1 ½ X 2 ½
A 2X2 is 1 ½ X1 ½
A screw size 8 mean that it has 8 threads per inch.
There are some type of plug in cement that can be used
to fill cracks underneath the water, like in a filled swimming pool.
That when you do a cement floor or anything else with cement,
you have to cure it. Curing it, mean that you have to spread it with water
every two hours or so, so it will dry more evenly and become stronger.
If you don’t keep your wood in a dry environment they will bend and really badly
Sometimes. Believe me, I wasted like over 100$ of wood and I knew that fact but
never thought that even a 12 footer 2X12 could.

I didn't know that.
Doing some research for my saving gas idea, I found this.
It will change your ''filling the gas thank habit''

It's not a trivia topic, just facts.
And I'm pretty sure that the non ''wood hobbyist'' didn't know that.
Are you into wood working of some sort? Construction, cabinet-maker?
BTW Forgot to mention.
Have you got one to share with us?
Feel free, you are welcome my friend.
Take care
Pete

i didnt know some of those things. thanks sir.

Thanks my friends.
Not sure if I should post this one, well...

This one is commonly known but often misinterpreted.
We know that a paper 24 pounds is thicker than a 20 pounds
And that it’s for the equivalent of 500 sheets. But those sheets are
the primary sheets they cut in 4 to make the common letter size
81/2’’X 11’’ , so the 500 sheets that weight 20 pounds measure
each 17’’X 22’’, thus 500 sheets of letter size paper you buy that says
on the package 20 pounds weight in fact 5 pounds.
I always wondered why when I buy them, that they didn’t seem so heavy.

Because you're Superman?

Wonder if TNF knew this one.

Just read it from the 24 heures free tabloid.

The name << golf >> come from the expression

Edit PS:, It seem to be just a wrong belief...Check

At first I was wondering if it were a joke anyway and there weren't
any source to find out.
I think for sure that yours is much more plausible.
Thanks for the correction.

This one I am pretty sure you don’t know.
While I was a student I had a evening job at the biggest dry cleaning cie that was also doing the cleaning for all the small counters cleaners in the whole surrounding of Montreal. My first job was to check into all the dirty clothes pockets to make sure there isn’t any pen or anything else that could damage the clothes, just as you’d do at home, you know we all have forgot a Kleenex and what it is.
At the time I was 13YO with a wage of 1.40$/hour. But sometimes we could find all sort of things as plenty of handkerchief ( this was the early 70S ) candies, pen, crayon but more interestingly, lot of changes and even paper dollars that we could keep. Unless it was a complete wallet then we had to save it until someone came and ask for it otherwise we kept it.
Well, it is starting to be a long story so what I meant to say is that I was being paid 1.40/hour and that’s not much but at a time that same cie employ people for free to do the same job. People were knocking on their door to work for free because they knew they could find money and sometimes even jewelry in dirty pockets.
Believe it or not.

i knew that

I noticed that like 20 years ago looking at my newborn niece and I was sceptical but after a few researchs I found that I was right.
Weird but true.
