paigetheoracle Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 Are there any things in the world that truly blow your mind, everytime they happen, as though you were still a child? One facetious thing that springs to my mind is that when you turn your pants inside out, they also reverse position i.e. front becomes back and back, front (Mobius strip, trick). Does anyone have any others?:hihi: Quote

Does anyone have any others?;) Mistatements like the pants thing never cease to amaze me. :hyper: A pair of slacks is not topologically speaking a Möbius band, and neither do they reverse front for back by simply turning them inside out. Given no other action but inside-outing of a pair of pants in normal orientation, they end up upside-down and inside-out.:shrug: Quote

paigetheoracle Posted September 18, 2006 Author Report Posted September 18, 2006 Gentlemen (Turtle/Mercedes Benzene). Overt criticism of others is covert praise for oneself. If one of you wasn't a moderator and the other a sponser, I'd report you to yourselves (The very idea of picking on a creative genius like moi!).:Waldo: It requires imagination to leap out of your underpants - ask superman. And where would science and the arts be without making connections, that others hadn't thought of? Stagnant, smug and boringly dead. I shall now go and sulk in my corner....grumble, moan...death to the unbelievers!..Me, no sense of humour...I'll kill the next barstard that accuses me of that..rhubarb (very barbed), rhubarb, rhubarb...B) Quote
Tormod Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 Are there any things in the world that truly blow your mind, everytime they happen, as though you were still a child? Watching my daughters sleep. It gives me an undescribable sense of happiness. Ranking *almost* as high was watching the space shuttle Atlantis dock with the International Space Station - *live* - on Nasa webcast. :Waldo: Quote

InfiniteNow Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 round and round... :hyper: It requires imagination to leap out of your underpants Actually, I think this could be done by cutting the elastic waistband, but I'm just sayin'. :) Quote
Jay-qu Posted September 19, 2006 Report Posted September 19, 2006 Looking up vertically on a totally dark, cloudless night, when miles and miles away from the city lights!!Oh yeah! I cant say that this one never ceases to amaze me, because i have only seen it once but I thought it was worth putting in anyway! When a jet flies overhead, leaving a vapour trail, and when its gone from horizon to horizon, you can actually see and get a feel for the curve of the earth in its trail! I spent ages just looking at it, until it faded. I would like to see it again one day, truely amazing! Quote
TheNaturalStep Posted September 19, 2006 Report Posted September 19, 2006 I would say a coca cola when it are really really hot in you are extremly thirsty ... nothing teast better ... get excited when i think on it :evil: ... Quote
pinar Posted September 19, 2006 Report Posted September 19, 2006 Watching clouds -evening is the best time- pink and cotton (this's probably not the right adjective) clouds... :evil: One can watch them for hours. It's also amazing to watch turquoise blue sea ,best part of holliday. Quote
InfiniteNow Posted September 19, 2006 Report Posted September 19, 2006 How good hot pizza tastes when you haven't eaten all day and your blood sugar is low... :evil: :D :lol: Quote
