Here are the rules:

You answer the previous posters question then post your own question.

Question:
What is the worst invention of all time?

**HAL9000** · 05-10-2001, 05:23 PM

The modem... 95% of people on the internet... shouldn't be

Favorite physics question:

You aim a gun horizontally at a monkey hanging from a tree. The moment the bullet leaves the barrel, the monkey lets go of the branch. Does the bullet hit the monkey and why/why not?

It is assumed that the monkey is with the range of the gun.
It is assumed that the bullet will either hit, or fly past (depending on your answer) the monkey before the monkey hits the ground
Bullet velocity, caliber of the gun, size of the monkey, etc are all irrelevant. ALL necessary information has been given to answer this.

Tiretool · 05-10-2001, 05:30 PM

If the gun is fired at the exact time the monkey lets go, the bullet will hit the monkey, because the effects of gravity are the same on the traveling bullet as they are on the falling monkey.

What would you consider to be the greatest medical achievement of all time?

Xayd · 05-10-2001, 06:23 PM

Agreed Hal

.

We've managed to all but stamp out the Bubonic Plague, which is rare from what I know (which is not much in medical terms). I can't think of many deadly diseases off hand that were completely stamped out by humans, but that seems to be one.

Why do people call tech support for help with a problem, then lie about the problem itself? (can ya tell I'm at work now

?)

Xayd

**mairving** · 05-10-2001, 06:32 PM

Answer:
Cause they don't want to look stupid...too late.

Question:
Why is it people don't respond to emails?

reboot · 05-10-2001, 06:40 PM

Because they consider any email from you to be spam, and delete it without reading it.

Why do so many "techs" have such trouble installing winmodems?

Floppyman · 05-10-2001, 06:52 PM

Because someone decided to save money and invent the winmodem, look what we're stuck with now

Junk on PCB taking up an IRQ...

Question:

When do you guys think cpu's will hit 5ghz?

**HAL9000** · 05-10-2001, 07:34 PM

When Toaster get's to work on a P4

Why to 24 hour convenience stores have locks on the doors.

Kubie · 05-10-2001, 08:07 PM

For emergencies; ie,floods, riots, etc.

How did the medical profession come up with the term "PMS".

Tiretool · 05-10-2001, 09:49 PM

Answer: When hell freezes over! LOL

Question: Is it further to Chicago than by bus?

SARGE · 05-10-2001, 10:13 PM

Yes.

When she says, "you don't have to, if you don't want to", what does she mean?

**mairving** · 05-10-2001, 10:14 PM

Answer:
It depends on which way the bus is going.

Question:
When is Dok going to tell us about that hottie in the library?

M. A. Dockter · 05-10-2001, 10:18 PM

Answer to Sarge:
"You better have already done it"

Answer to marving:
Whenever people start voting in that poll...hardly anyone voted!

Question:
Why can't women say what's on their minds? Why can't women understand that men function better when not confused by questions?

Kubie · 05-10-2001, 10:19 PM

When she realizes he's alive.

If two's company and three's a crowd, what is four and five?
Carl

M. A. Dockter · 05-10-2001, 10:33 PM

Close enough...right answer was "when she realizes she's not the only person in the world"

Answer:
Four is trouble
Five is a Motley Crew

Question:

What's better, Coke or Pepsi?

Answer: The lady I was about to marry: The Devil. Hottie from Library, I have yet to see.

Floppyman · 05-10-2001, 10:53 PM

Answer: None of the above..

(can you tell I don't like the packers...

Who will be 100?

SARGE · 05-10-2001, 10:55 PM
