If a bulldog staffy or that type of dog locks it's jaw on you or anther dog they will only breath through they're nose. so the best way to make it let go is cover it's nose so it can't breath but remember it won't let go instantly and when it does it might try and grab your hand....

There is still a bylaw in Chester that suggests an English man can do away with a Welshman!

It comes from a declaration which states

For the seven months that they hibernate, bears do not defecate anywhere in the winter.

They recycle the urea as protein, so they don’t need to urinate and they mix the hair and faeces to make a sort of plug that blocks the arse during winter.

She-bears give birth during hibernation. They can also give birth to 4 cubs from 4 different fathers.

“And jealous now of me, you gods, because I befriend a man, one I saved as he straddled the keel alone, when Zeus had blasted and shattered his swift ship with a bright lightning bolt, out on the wine-dark sea.”

~ Homer, The Odyssey, Book V

Homer’s descriptions of color in The Iliad and The Odyssey, taken literally, paint an almost psychedelic landscape: in addition to the sea, sheep were also the color of wine; honey was green, as were the fear-filled faces of men; and the sky is often described as bronze.

It gets stranger. Not only was Homer’s palette limited to only five colors (metallics, black, white, yellow-green, and red), but a prominent philosopher even centuries later, Empedocles, believed that all color was limited to four categories: white/light, dark/black, red, and yellow.

Xenophanes, another philosopher, described the rainbow as having but three bands of color: porphyra (dark purple), khloros, and erythros (red).

The Moon's orbit is indeed getting larger, at a rate of about 3.8 centimeters per year.

The Earth's rotation is slowing down because of this. One hundred years from now, the day will be 2 milliseconds longer than it is now.

My fav piece of trivia: derivation of the word "trivia."

In ancient Rome there was a spot, past the gates to the south of the city where slaves and washer women would go to do their thankless task.

And what did they do when they were there to pass away the hours? They chatted and gossiped.

This washing spot by the Porta Ostiensis was also the confluence of three great Roman roads coming up from the south of Italy, ie: tri (three) via (roads).

Ergo, anything a little dubious or scurrilous was deemed to be "trivia."

The Chivalric code was mainly dictating that a Knight must never refuse a duel or except a hit without retaliating. The part about protecting the weak and women was mainly only used whenever the Knights wished it to be useful, as they would often wait for travelers to walk past and demand their money or even their women.

Over the rainbow, under the bridge

Staffies don't 'lock' jaws in the same way say a bulldog does. They simply refuse to let go. They only let go to get a better grip elsewhere.

My staffie got in a fight in the park (he was on a full harness and was attacked by an alsation off the lead). I had to lift him between my thighs (to stop him doing the tearing pull they do) and then grip his throat to make him let go. I was more scared of the other dog biting me as mine just stopped and calmed down the moment he realised it was me gripping him. The young lad with the alsation didn't know what to do. He definitely had no control.

Fortunately, neither dog was really injured beyond a few scratches.

Some people use breaking sticks to make staffies open their jaws but unless you know what you are doing you can cause a lot of harm to teeth and tongue. I think they're pretty cruel implements.

I've never heard of that... I know the Greeks thought that men with big dicks were somehow less attractive than those with a more modest manhood (maybe they had small cocks and just wanted to feel better about themselves).

But here's a bona fide Roman joke:

"That slave you sold me died", a man complained to a skolastikos (teacher).

"Well, I swear by all the gods, he never did anything like that when I had him."

The language of modern humour is rooted in Latin. Iocus is Latin for ‘joke’; facetus, as in facetious, is Latin for ‘witty’; ridiculus, as in ridiculous, meant ‘laughable’.

Another Roman joke:-

A man goes to the barber, who askes: ‘How should I cut your hair, sir?’

‘In silence’

(appears in the Philogelos joke book, 4th cent. AD)

"The only word always spelt incorrectly is incorrectly

Top 10 most commonly misspelled words:

1/ Definitely

2/ Sacrilegious

3/ Indict

4/ Manoeuvre

5/ Bureaucracy

6/ Broccoli

7/ Phlegm

8/ Prejudice

9/ Consensus

10/ Unnecessary

(and I spelled four of the them wrong on the first attempt

)

I'm guessing most people spell definitely defiantly?"

My favourite Roman emperor/teenage pervert - I give you Elegabalus:

"When the emperor Caracalla was murdered in 217, the fourteen-year-old Elagabalus succeeded him. He only ruled for 4 years, but in that short period of time he committed a variety of grotesque and debauched acts, enough to make Caligula and Commodus seem rather plain.

His real name was Bassianus but as he developed an intense interest in worshiping the Syrian god Elagabal (a large black rock), became High Priest of the cult and so had his name changed to Elagabalus. To honor his god, he demanded that hundreds of cattle were slaughtered daily on huge sacrificial altars. He had a temple built on the Palatine Hill and ordered the Romans to worship a statue of a giant phallus, which didn't go down very well at all...

Eventually he decided he was the god embodied. He started to wear women's clothes and make-up, implored his surgeons to cut his penis off and make him a vagina and when they said they could not do this he settled for circumcision. His body is said to have been very effeminate and he had a multitude of male companions. At some point it is said that he "married" a freedman called Hierocles and called him his husband.

As well as being a transvestite and obviously rather confused, Elagabalus was also a masochist, arranging for his lovers to catch him cheating on them so that they would beat the living daylights out of him, therefore giving him even more pleasure. His body was permanently covered with bruises and marks left from these beatings. Cassius Dio informs us:

"...he would go to taverns by night wearing a wig, and there ply the trade of a female prostitute. He frequented the notorious brothels, drove out the prostitutes and played the prostitute himself. he finally set a aside a room in the palace, and there committed his indecencies, always standing nude at the door of the room...while in a soft and melting voice he solicited the passers by."

He had a public bath built in the palace, so he could go there and pick out the men with the biggest penises.

In 220 A.D. he raped a Vestal Virgin and forced her to marry him. This for the Romans was a terrible thing to do.

His cruelty also had no limits. Once he ordered a servant to fetch him a big packet of cobwebs and when the unfortunate man turned up empty handed, he had him locked up in a cage and eaten alive by hundreds of starving rats.

Elagabalus loved to pin his enemies to the wall and stick hot pokers into them, peel their skin off and dip them in salt.... *cringe*

He ordered mass human sacrifices of young boys and girls to satisfy his god and whenever he entered Rome he demanded that his priests meet him with golden bowls full of children's intestines..

On the 11th March 222 the people had had enough. They hunted him down and in a toilet where he had sought refuge and stabbed him to death. He was 18. His friends were mutilated and impaled."

There's some cracking graffiti at Pompeii, with such gems as:

"Weep, you girls. My penis has given you up. Now it penetrates men’s behinds. Goodbye, wondrous femininity!"

" Floronius, privileged soldier of the 7th legion, was here. The women did not know of his presence. Only six women came to know, too few for such a stallion"

"Theophilus, don’t perform oral sex on girls against the city wall like a dog"

and

"The one who buggers a fire burns his penis"

Viz. a quick back-of-envelope estimation:

The number of chess games possible might be around 50 moves a side times 20 options per move, making 20^100 different games.

The number of atoms in the observable universe might be around 10^25 per kilogram times 2 * 10^30 kg per solar system times 10^14 stars per galaxy times 10^14 galaxies in the observable universe.

Comparing the very large numbers, 10^83 is clearly less than 20^100, so the conjecture is probably true.

I've considered this.

It would not work because of my other love of salami.

An old-fashioned 3sum?

throw in a cucumber and I'm in.

Tart?

That's a pork pie!

Actually the best way is to throw water in its nose, I have seen it work

I'm no dog expert but I saw a staff grab a small dog by the throat and nothing could get it off,only water worked instantly, I posted just in case anyone ends up in that situation.

In 1859 Irish Scientist, John Tyndall was the first to correctly explain why the sky is blue.

The explanation may surprise you.

The sun puts out a full spectrum of light colors – but your eyes are most sensitive to blue and red/purple colors. Molecules in the air scatter the sun’s blue light faster than they scatter its red light. A day-time sky without clouds looks blue because the sun is close to you, and relatively little of the blue light has been scattered. You see red and orange colors at sunset because the light must travel a greater distance to you, and all the blue light has been refracted away from your line of sight by the time the sun’s light hits you – not because of dust or other particles in the air as is widely believed.

"Molecules in the air scatter the sun’s blue light faster than they scatter its red light."

- I'm not sure about "faster scattering", but given the small size of Nitrogen atoms (N) and Oxygen molecules (O2) that are predominate in our atmosphere, these are more likely to interact with the shorter wavelength light (blue is shorter wave length then red) hence as the blue wavelength light is scattered as it comes through the atmosphere at oblique angles the light appears more yellow/orange at the horizon (as the blue component is lessened) and the blue light is scattered downwards hence looking directly up we see more blue.

The effect known as Rayleigh Scattering is also the reason the sun appears yellow (towards orange at sunset). When in fact the sun's light observed in orbit is close to white, as a main sequence star.

The moon however is made of cheese. An Emmental/Gruyere mix I believe.

It refused to let go. If it'd been a bulldog throwing water over it wouldn't have worked as their jaws do genuinely lock. Staffies can make a choice. Bulldogs can't.

Due to its stomach acid being extremely concentrated in strength, if you give a snake a Rennies, it'll explode.

If it had been a yorkie terrier it could have been flicked off with 1 finger but it was a staffs not a bulldog,but I will remember for future reference in case a bulldog does it

The atoms that make up your body are mostly empty space, so despite there being so many of them, without that space you would compress into a tiny volume. The nucleus that makes up the vast bulk of the matter in an atom is so much smaller than the whole structure that it is comparable to the size of a fly in a cathedral. If you lost all your empty atomic space, your body would fit into a cube less than 1/500th of a centimetre on each side. Neutron stars are made up of matter that has undergone exactly this kind of compression. In a single cubic centimetre of neutron star material there are around 100m tons of matter. An entire neutron star, heavier than our sun, occupies a sphere that is roughly the size across of the Isle of Wight.
