The ultimate question answered!

[Vat69]

All those sleepless nights, all those infuriatingly 'Good Will Hunting' style blackboard sized mathematical equations, all those surprisingly agressive drunken arguments, can finally be left behind.
A new day will dawn when you click on this link...and can finally know the airspeed velocity of an unladen European swallow.

Huzaah!

thats funny. i thought the answer to the ultimate question was 42

disclaimer: you will not understand this post if you haven't read/seen hitch-hikers guide to the galaxy

 

[Vat69]

You're quite right.....my apologies...this is that other ultimate question. :wink:

 

[Parko]

I thought it would explain things like the best substrate, is powerfeeding juvie pythons bad, should i brumate juvenile snakes and ofcourse what exactly is an intergrade. Oh well maybe some other thread has this info....

 

[Hickson]

The interesting thing is, the final answer was 24 (miles/hour).

24 is 42 backwards!!!

Spooky!!!!!!!

Does that mean they are good for your snakes to eat????

and don't forget are thermostats really the evil spawn of the Devil :lol:

[Parko]

Yes quite right Boa, that also has recently become one of the ultimate questions.

 

[Retic]

But I already have the ultimate answer

 

[Parko]

Well you should take your ultimate answer and smash it to pieces with a sledgehammer.

 

[alexr]

LOL.

 

[Retic]

It's already been done so you will have to take my word for it that I had the ultimate answer in the first place.

Well you should take your ultimate answer and smash it to pieces with a sledgehammer.

When I cooked professionally we used thermostats on our ovens so that things didnt overcook but you still needed to check them but not on the stove tops where we had to keep a constant eye on things.
In later life I did demolitions in shopping centres and sledge hammers were rarely used and usually by the boofiest bloke who had to be shown how if you undid a few bits it all came down without hurtting or straining yourself. One thing we were always told not to destroy was the thermostats.

 

[Retic]

That sounds like very advice indeed

 

[herptrader]

I thought that in that famous python film the question African or European swallow... which was of cours a trick question as these are in fact the same bird at different phases of its migration. I probably miss heard the gag :-(

 

[Retic]

Of course I meant to say 'good' advice.

That sounds like very advice indeed

I think Peterescue is underating the usefulness of a sledgehammer in modernday construction work, i use a sledgehammer quite often at work, though i'm not denying i may be the ''boofy'' type(note the b in boofy, not p). And if i were going to smash a thermostat i think it would be my first choice of tools for the job, but only if it were a european thermostat and not an african thermostat which would only need a regular small hammer.

 

[peterescue]

Dont get me wrong parko, I love sledgies, I may have been premature with the boofy remark. I remember one casual we had, was a poet and worked as a copywriter for Onetel so needed work when they bellied.
First swing of the hammer was a big sheet of melamine. The hammer just bounced back up and whacked him on the forehead. It would have been funny at the time if it wasnt so bad. Hilarious now of course. Im sure he wrote an Ode or something while he recuperated.

LMAO Peterescue, your new signature really left a mark on me.
