Things you wonder about

I wonder if Sheep get jealous when a farmer is playing hide the salami too much with one particular sheep.

There's a kid I know -- well, he was a kid then; he's an adult now -- who had just enough Asperger syndrome that I don't think he could
function on his own. I've always wondered what was going to happen to him. He could go to a regular school and everything, but I can't
see him living alone. Maybe I underestimate him.

[Adam]

I often wonder at night in bed that if I die tonight how long it would be before someone found me. I was gonna make a thread to ask others because I don't think anyone would think seriously "Where's Adam" for about a week of me disappearing.

I also wonder if I should test this but I wonder if it might make me depressed

Fuckin' magnets, how do they work?

[paul jones]

Fuckin' magnets, how do they work?

A magnet is any object that has a magnetic field. It attracts ferrous objects like pieces of iron, steel, nickel and cobalt. In the early days, the Greeks observed that the naturally occurring 'lodestone' attracted iron pieces. From that day onwards began the journey into the discovery of magnets.

These days magnets are made artificially in various shapes and sizes depending on their use. One of the most common magnets - the bar magnet - is a long, rectangular bar of uniform cross-section that attracts pieces of ferrous objects. The magnetic compass needle is also commonly used. The compass needle is a tiny magnet which is free to move horizontally on a pivot. One end of the compass needle points in the North direction and the other end points in the South direction.

The end of a freely pivoted magnet will always point in the North-South direction.

Magnetic Poles

The end that points in the North is called the North Pole of the magnet and the end that points South is called the South Pole of the magnet. It has been proven by experiments that like magnetic poles repel each other whereas unlike poles attract each other.
Magnetic Fields

What is a magnetic field? The space surrounding a magnet, in which magnetic force is exerted, is called a magnetic field. If a bar magnet is placed in such a field, it will experience magnetic forces. However, the field will continue to exist even if the magnet is removed. The direction of magnetic field at a point is the direction of the resultant force acting on a hypothetical North Pole placed at that point.
How is a magnetic field created?

When current flows in a wire, a magnetic field is created around the wire. From this it has been inferred that magnetic fields are produced by the motion of electrical charges. A magnetic field of a bar magnet thus results from the motion of negatively charged electrons in the magnet.
Magnetic Lines Of Force

Just as an electric field is described by drawing the electric lines of force, in the same way, a magnetic field is described by drawing the magnetic lines of force. When a small north magnetic pole is placed in the magnetic field created by a magnet, it will experience a force. And if the North Pole is free, it will move under the influence of magnetic field. The path traced by a North magnetic pole free to move under the influence of a magnetic field is called a magnetic line of force. In other words, the magnetic lines of force are the lines drawn in a magnetic field along which a north magnetic pole would move.

The direction of a magnetic line of force at any point gives the direction of the magnetic force on a north pole placed at that point. Since the direction of magnetic line of force is the direction of force on a North Pole, so the magnetic lines of force always begin on the N-pole of a magnet and end on the S-pole of the magnet. A small magnetic compass when moved along a line of force always sets itself along the line tangential to it. So, a line drawn from the South Pole of the compass to its North Pole indicates the direction of the magnetic field.
Properties of the magnetic lines of force

1. The magnetic lines of force originate from the North Pole of a magnet and end at its South Pole.
2. The magnetic lines of force come closer to one another near the poles of a magnet but they are widely separated at other places.
3. The magnetic lines of force do not intersect (or cross) one another.
4. When a magnetic compass is placed at different points on a magnetic line of force, it aligns itself along the tangent to the line of force at that point.

Oh, I know. If you don't know what my reference is, it's from I.C.P's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-agl0pOQfs) new song. Stupidest song on the face of the earth.

I wonder how deep somebody had to dig to put a traffic light in its place. I keep wondering and wondering since a long time ago.

i wonder if how we perceive colors is different from one person to the next.

like if you were to transfers someone elses eyes to someone else would that person see colors in slightly different shades?

[Adam]

I've wondered that to - like we have the spectrum of the primary colours and say if one person sees green as blue and visa versa - how would we know cus its totally normal to them but could be fucked up in someone elses eyes. How can we test this?

Is that green?
Why yes, yes it is green!

Fuckin Magnets, how do they work? (http://hijinksensue.com/2010/04/12/juggalin/)

[JDsmagik]

I wonder how my neighbor, who has a large dog tied in his back yard that barks at everything, sleeps at night?

Does he have some magical powers that block out the barking?
Or does he get off on knowing that he's invading everyone else's homes with this annoying sound?

Maybe he's just an idiot.

...so I went to see The Secret in Their Eyes today. Movie finally starts, but the house lights don't go off. They were dimmed for the previews, but then never shut off. After about ten minutes I asked an usher about it because it was really distracting.

His answer? "We're working on it."

Really? How hard can this be?

[JDsmagik]

^ Ha, maybe you should've offered him some old school high tech knowledge...it's called a light switch, switch it to "off"

i have thought this but not just about shades but i think its possible that a small percentage of people could have their eyes wired up differently so that , for example, they could see orange when most see blue but they would all call it blue, if that makes sense.



I wonder why when i get a bonus in my paycheck that basically doubles my pay packet does the tax triple and not double. bastards

I sometimes wonder how many people I've met that have killed a person. Morbid yes, but surely at least one of them have.

[Adam]

Oooh, now you have me wondering. I always wonder about death and stuff. Not like in an emo way just about it completes a cycle and its the biggest thing in anyones life whether your own death or a loved one and the ripples it has. Those that except it, those that fight it.

[Guy Incognito]

i wonder if when a woman tells another woman that they "really like your top" does that actually mean that they fucking hate it

I wonder about Jupiter alot.
It's really fucking big, and I wonder what it looks like inside the swirling clouds of partially frozen gas.

A trip to Jupiter would be the same as a descent into madness...
you spend year after year after decade in space, go through the asteroid belt (somehow) then pop out and stare creepy, vision-filling Jupiter in the face.

Gas Giants are fascinating!

This morning I’m wondering how you become a big crane operator…like in the construction of high-rise, super structure kinda big…I mean is there a school?…do you work your up from bob cat to backhoe to mobile crane then onto the big show?…I wonder if they are drug tested because the danger inherent to the occupation and coworkers is so prevalent…and is it an interesting, migratory, transitional lifestyle moving from city to city following boom or bust?…6 months, here a year or maybe even two there?…
