True, also, the rifle at the Winchester Pub is a real working gun and not a replica.

Well they do if you pronounce it right. Most English words that originated in Dog are mispronounced. Getting the tail wag right is very difficult.

Why do you say these things when you know they will cause me to dispatch a Beyonce-model slapbot to spank you?

Did you know… half the working population makes less than the median wage? Half!! :eek:

i^i is approximately equal 0.20787957635.

Cite.

Yeah, sorry, I didn’t notice the superscript i, just the main one. So, I thought the claim was that the square root of -1 was a real number.

Heh. No.

Did you know that 38% of the population uses statistics to back up a pointless statement?

Did you know that 62% of those statistics were made up on the spot?

Were you aware that the phrase “did you know?” is copyrighted by a rival textbook publishing company?

I reckon that’s where we should go in case of a Zombie Apocalypse.

Ducks don’t quack. There are 166 species of them, which make a bewildering variety of typical vocalizations, ranging from squeaks to whistles to honks to muttering sounds, and a few are mute. A small few of them make a characteristic sound that could, with imagination, be represented in human alphabet as quack. The extent to which they echo would be variable, depending on the pitch of the duck’s vocalization and the physical characteristics of the echoing surfaces.

Do they also not waddle like ducks? Is a huge chunk of ignorance going down to defeat?

“If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it isn’t a duck”?

I think the answer is included in the question.
Did you know that saliva causes stomach cancer, but only when ingested in small amounts over a long period of time?

I read on the weekend that in Australia around 75% of workers earn less than the average wage. The average is around $65K, whereas the median is around $45K. The ultra-high earners push the average way up.

i[sup]i[/sup], where i is the imaginary square root of -1, is a real number.

It’s not just some real number, it is the square root of e^{-pi}. Isn’t that amazing. Actually, complex exponentials are multi-valued, but that is one of the values.

Someone mentioned ramps coming into season. Actually, two weeks ago I picked some from my herb bed in Montreal and had a ramps and mushroom omelet.
