Strange facts.

I got my data from page 4 of the attached.

It was only included to show some perspective on the main point that just 15 of the many thousands cause a bigger environmental issue than all the cars. The absence of any real regulations covering these emissions is another story.

thanks mate. That whole thing is interesting reading in itself! Bit of a shame to see quite how diminished our shipping fleet is, even though we rank 24th in the world.

Probably a result of it being cheaper to subcontract out to the lowest bidder, albeit Ive recently experienced a 6 month delay due to chinese shipping delays and the seemingly giving of priority to everyone else....

If there was a road It would only take one hour to drive to outer space. (@60 mph)

And they make all that fuss with rockets and stuff.

Perhaps it needs its own thread

It has enough of its own

The most likely way to kill the head on your pint is with oil or fat. If you have a moustache that is doused with grease, that will kill your head. Also if you are wearing lipstick, which is fat based, this will kill your head. If you have lipstick and a moustache, then the head on your pint is the least of your worries.

There's a lot of head in there....

Enough of this all-Australian stuff: AC/DC v Rolph Harris. is it?

I wonder how much those Rolf Harris paintings are worth....

My local vet no longer displays this personalised caricature in the waiting room, for some reason.

If you sneeze while traveling at 60 mph your eyes are closed for an average of 50 feet

From a driving point of view that is actually terrifying

In 2009, Stephen Hawking held a reception for time travelers, but didn’t publicise it until after the event. This way, only those who could time travel would be able to attend. Nobody else attended.

We know for sure it will never be possible to travel back in time. If it were to be, we would have people here now from the future.

I detest sneezing when driving as its usually going around a corner or a bend in the road.

But maybe this period of the past few hundred years, where we might have noticed a time traveller and been able to document it, is just so boring and uneventful that nobody wanted to come and see it.

Unless there is a protocol in place that once you have finished your time travel, you then have to subsequently travel back in time, and not time travel in the first place.......

This in itself doesn't preclude time travel. I believe that many of the proposed, theoretically possible methods have a fundamental limitation in that you couldn't travel back to any point before the "machine" was built, which would explain why we haven't yet had a visitor from the future.
