So as I don't have a bed head problem I was confused to find out that there is a Dry Shampoo product on the market!

What is this; how does this work? How many times can you dry shampoo yer barnet before it becomes a health hazard??

What else gets you furrowing yer brow and scratching your head...?

Historic Architecture.

Things like the Notre Dame Cathederal.

I just don't understand how they managed to carve the things they did out of stone with such detail given they only had basic tooling.

I am fascinated because I just simply don't know how in my head that it was possible

I have never used dry shampoo in my life. I get the feeling it would leave you itchy scalped so I can't answer your question.

I get a lot off food thoughts. Like, what the fuck goes through people's head when there's a really strong cheese and they opt to put it into their mouth. I'd rather do a bloody bushtucker trial.

How do they get the non stick to stick to non stick pans

How do you know you're in the 'middle' of nowhere

Where does your lap go when you stand up

What did they call fog before pea soup was invented.

Everyone knows that the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second but what's the speed of dark

I've got far too much time on my hands.

Dry shampoo absorbs grease and gives hair a bit of body. Never use it more than once and it's best used the night before so it has time to absorb properly.

Unless it's a black hole which is a vacuum in which not even light escapes.

Your lap is always there. Just a different angle

I believe they called it fog. Or thick fog.

My question is when something is marketed as new improved, ultra, premium etc why does that company still sell a standard range? Surely they've just said that level is now crap.

As to the OP's question about Dry Shampoo - I've never heard of it.

Is it a liquid or a powder?

Reason I ask is that you can use Talcum powder to 'freshen up' your hair (if you haven't got time to give it a proper wash and I was therefore wondering if some bright spark is simply selling Talc relabelled as Dry shampoo

Its actually thought to be 5000 years old, they use stone for stuff that they want passed down as important, there was lots of wooden structures there but obviously they don't last, so if your conveying a message to your future generations you use stone, the big ones are fairly local only about 25 miles of I remember correctly but the littler ones may have been dragged from as far away as wales.

No roads would have existed but the area is unlikely to have had much woodland on it, raising them would have been a case of simply moving shit loads of soil.

Unfortunately history that far back is never going to be definitive either way

It was started in 1163 and finished essentially in 1345. So that's almost 200 hundred years.

It hasn't suffered any major damage, during WW2 it was only the stain glass windows that got damaged and that was by stray bullets.

Dry shampoo comes in many different guises now as well.

Different fragrances, for different hair colours etc.

On a similar note, when I lived in the states, I went through a drive through bank, and the key pad I went to was in Braille.

Because it would leave a vacuum at the top, the air pressure on the outside at the bottom is higher and holds it in.

Same reason why, when you bite people in the neck and suck all their blood out, it doesn't drip off your fangs.

Gripes!

That makes sense but all I can imagine now is a huge empty transparent cylinder container floating in the sky with a suction cap at the top and water floating in the sky

my mind boggles at people watching other people in 'real life'...yes..big brother etc

the arguments that it's for some psychological insight into human behaviours...when in fact thats pretty much utter shite, just from the science standpoint of observation changes the behaviour of even subatomic matter. Stick people in something they know is a show and all you get is a skewed perception of their perception.

and then we have people watching other people watch shows.

Light doesn't have a consistent speed first of all.

Second of all, the speed of light has already been broken.

when I've been forced to watch gogglebox..I just sit and dont know what the programmes are that theyre watching anyway most of the time.

As for BB..I just sit and screw my face up wondering what the fucks so interesting about self obsessed twats looking to make a name for themselves.."here you go, you were kicked out of some show..but heres a job rewarding that amazing fuckall talent you have."

I would assume they broke it in a particle accelerator or whatever it is they use to fire subatomic particles.

has it?-I'm sure if it has you would have to be an observer outside of our galaxy. its all about relativity,mass.To my understanding.

Something to do with Quantum entanglement. Also by bending space time you could also potentially travel faster than light.

It was cern firing neutrinos to italy, but was an error in measurement. Speed of light for objects travelling is the maximum in current understanding.

Okay in a vacuum, drops to 40mph through liquid sodium?, What and how travels faster (in a vacuum?)

I suppose one of my most WTF how..why..what!?!..I just cant understand is..

flat earthers..

this community of people throw everything into this flat earth theory, pretty much proclaiming a world wide deception is going on...a deception so utterly big that not even one person has came out from the deception to earn money on telling us the biggest secret in mankinds history..

Why does mineral water which has been filtering for centuries have a best before date?

That's purely down to the plastic bottles they're kept in. "

Because it leaches stuff into the water? Can't be the rate it biodegrades at.

That's exactly it, and although drinking water past it's expired date won't harm you, it will have a taste to it.

There's not even nothing outside of space. There is no spacetime outside of the bubble. I don't get it though..."

Watch Family Guy "The Big Bang Theory" episode. It explains everything.

I thought light waves / particles did have mass but I'm wrong, they could be said to have relativistic mass but not 'real' mass.
