Thread: Random useful information

  1. #1

    I read this on another forum and found it very useful, it struck me that there is probably a lot of similar useful tidbits out there so I started this thread to share them.



    When swallowing a capsule, keep in mind that it has air in it and so it floats in water...if you tilt you head back like for a normal pill you will have trouble swallowing it, if you tilt your head forward however it will slide down much easier.

    You say that from experience, BDC? You gone on an all-night coconut orgy or something?

    Several. And there is the whole, rather messy, 'abandoned on desert island' thing. No toilet paper there either.

    Don't spam so much
    "And one should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to execute, nor more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to introduce a new order to things; for he who introduces it has all those who profit from the old order as his enemies; and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from the new. This lukewarmness partly stems from fear of their adversaries, who have the law on their side, and partly from the skepticism of men, who do not truly believe in new things unless they have personal experience in them."

    When in the forest and looking for the best firewood, find standing dead trees that have little bark and long vertical cracks in the wood. The more vertical cracks in the wood, the less chance of it being rotten and unburnable.

    And watch your head when you cut it or try to push it down, odds are the top will snap off and come straight down upon you.

    When your wife is pregnant with your first child it is still mother's day.

    BTW, my wife isn't pregnant but I got this from a friend who had a rough mother's day because he told his wife I thought that we had agreed that you are not a mother until it is born.

    If lost in a forest look for anthills; they always build on the South side of trees. Check that against moss as trees have it on the North side. (Northern hemisphere)

    how is this useful?

    Procrastination is a lot like masturbation. Lots of fun until you realise you're ****ing yourself.

    Women are evil
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.
