153 is the smallest 3 digit # such that the sum of the cubes of its digits equals itself-

1x1x1 + 5x5x5 + 3x3x3 = 153

Cold water boils faster than warm water.

And hot water freezes faster than cold water.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22534470


Simple logic will tell you this can't be true.

When you begin heating the cold water it will eventually reach the same temp as the warm water was at the beginning. To ever catch up this newly created warm water would for some reason have to heat fater than the original warm water that started at this temp (or to put it another way, the original warm water would have been cold at some point too, why would it heat slower than the cold water which is now warm?)

Jonah Falcon's penis is 9.5 inches (24 cm) flaccid, 13.5 inches (34 cm) erect.

He sometimes gets stopped at airport security checkpoints because of the suspect bulge in his pants.

Your simple logic is incorrect.

When you heat water up you remove tiny pockets of gas within the H20 to be released which allows the water to not only freeze faster but to be super cooled and will freeze to a lower temperature and will freeze throughout and not just initially freezing the top of the water.

Lots of scientists are still discussing the exact reasons for this because sometimes it doesn't freeze faster. It's actually one of those things that annoy the crap out of some scientists.

Re: Provide a useless fact that most people won't know
the biblical st john, who according to the bible was born on summer solstice, and foretells of jesus' arrival in 6 months -is a ripoff of the baltic 'spirit/god Jaani - and Jaanipaev (midsummer) has been celebrated in Scandinavia/Baltics since way BCE

John/ Jaani is simply the sun,just as jesus the sun/son is reborn on the winter solstice

and xmas trees decorate the season to symbolize evergreen/eternal life

That is a loaded question.

Currency organizes the population and creates order.

So a type of currency is always necessary.
 Quoting: Open Your Eyes


certainly currency is needed, but the two basic types are 1) debt based, which is loaned into existence
or
2) currency issued directly by a government, using the surplus/assets of the state as the backing

the first requires being paid back, by new money which has to be created yet again, and creates perpetual debt, the second does not
