Is it possible to read a 450 page book in a day?

Certainly. I read a 300 page book the other day, if it went for another 150 pages I could've done it. It all depends on the size of the text and the pages, and the content.

And nothing to do with how quickly you read.

Is there any merit to the "the bigger they are, the harder they fall" line of thinking?

at a guess, force = mass x gravity. Therefore bigger mass = bigger force. Being taller possibly slightly longer time spent accelerating due to gravity as well.

^^Also is dependent on air resistance and drag

yes, true. I'm a chem/bio guy, terrible at physics, but just going over the basics!

I think the real question is: are you an "engineer, bitches"

was looking up stupid shit on internet as i tend to do at this time of night a few weeks back and discovered that 2000 was unique because it was as a leap year on the turn of the century.

we have leap years every 4 years except on the 100th year, but this rule isn't adhered to on the 400th year.

so 1500, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2100, 2200, 2300, 2500 are not leap years despite being divisible by 4.

but 1600, 2000, 2400 are leap years (known as century leap years as opposed to regular leap years)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_leap_year

so if any of you live to the year 2100 you will be thankful i gave you 89 years advanced warning that you're not going to get a leap year despite the olympics being on at some point that year.

Mind = Blown!

ok, so this probs falls under common sense for most people but whatevs...


So what's with the following scenario:

Girl walking along footpath

car pulls over - boy: "hey, you dropped something just behind you:

girl: checks, nothing dropped, ignores car.


Like i know you're supposed to ignore them but i don't really see what it achieves... i mean even if you go look for the item that you supposedly dropped is it just a "haha! she fell for it" kinda thing or is there something more to it??

 

[THFC_70]

I dont think that there is more to it.

I remember when I used to go to High School and caught the bus home there were a group of kids who used to call out "you've dropped your wallet!!" to people walking past. They laughed at the person falling for it but nothing else.

I dont know why people do it though...

"Magpie!" Was better. People used to shit themselves.

Could just be my ignorance, but when you're at the cinema, why do the ushers come in with their torches and check the two corners by the screen?

 

[Power King]

I still don't understand what 'reading the play' means in aussie rules.

Is it judging the flight of the ball in order to mark it or make contact with it in the air, judging where players in possession of the ball are intending to direct it toward, or something else?

I should know this and yes it is a fail.

 

[Benno_900]

Anticipating how the passage of play is going to unfold or the intentions of the team in possession and getting to the right spots / doing the right thing.

 

[The Passenger]

especially when you see a guy slip off his opponent, or slip off the back of a pack for no apparent reason but the ball comes to him. and he does that a good few times and gets it right most of the time... that's reading the play.

 

[Powerade 08]

Anticipating how the passage of play is going to unfold or the intentions of the team in possession and getting to the right spots / doing the right thing.

This...

e.g. the S.Burgoyne/Lade ruck combo, or Swan getting into good positions to link up.

Not sure about BT's example, if they leave their opponent and get in a position to cut off a pass, sure, but if they're in a marking contest and judge the flight of the ball better than their opponent I wouldn't call that a good example of reading the play.
