What about grammer?

Is it grammer or grammar 

 

As it was the title of a qualification I think it should have been Arts Major not arts major.

 

Also Engineers don't use words. We use maths and technical drawings. Despite my MSc my highest qualification in English is my B at GCSE level.

How well would shaving foam work as a substitute for grease? I mean it is supposed to reduce friction between the blades and your face. How about the surfaces between bearing races?

[MrBounce]

Badly. I believe the melting point for shaving foam to be about 50 degrees. Add to that it's water soluble and the fact it's completely the wrong chemical make-up and you would destroy your bearings in about half a mile.

Water is supposed to be better as a moisturiser for you skin than shaving foam is. The only difference is that it is more obvious where you have shaved when you use shaving foam/gel and it stays on your face for longer without running off.

 

What about the gel then as that is a bit thicker?

Oil of Olay-shaft ? 

 

answer to above ^^ shower gel would have to be amazing shower gel to put up with the work oil does -

 

oil , cools , lubricates - helps filter debris - helps deal with acids from combustion , 

 

will work in very hot / cold conditions , & still resists breakdown

 

it's amazing stuff

I wasn't going to try it but it randomly occurred to me. Kind of the point of this thread.

I was about to ask why aren't Rorschach test cards in colour but while googling it to find the spelling I discovered that a proper set of Rorschach test cards do include colour on cards, 2,3,8,9 and 10.

 

If a psychiatrist showed me a Rorschach test and asks 'what do you see?', I've always wanted to give the answer, " a pattern created by putting ink on a piece of paper and folding it in half". When they showed me the next one I would give the same answer and on the third I would say, "a pattern created by putting ink of a piece of paper and folding it in half, possibly from left to right, not right to left like I think the previous ones were done. At the fourth card (assuming I managed to get this far, I have a feeling they would probably stop) my answer would be "Rorschach test card" and if I ever managed to get to the last one no matter what it looks like ' awwwhhh. A butterfly.'

 

Its fun being being difficult.

Why are shoes/boots always laced up in a ridiculous fashion when you buy them from a shop ?

My shoes usually come un-laced, at least till I try them on, at which point I lace 1 shoe up and try it on

My mate Whit always wears the same black shirt when we go out to the pub (I assume he washes in between). If the multi-verse theory is correct, that means there is a version of my friend in a universe who always wears a really loud Hawaiian shirt when he goes to the pub.

 

If anyone met my mate Whit you would understand how funny this would be.

Why do people go to the gym to get some exercise, but then park as close to the entrance as possible, so that they don't have to walk so far?
