You and me both, my friend. Say goodbye to at least five of the fifty pounds I've dropped on the dear doctor's esteemed diet. Of course, my dear ol' pop's WICKED gin martinis didn't help the cause any.

"Here's my question -- if you had a cube/box, the interior of which was made up of perfectly efficient mirrors, could you trap light inside? If you threw such a box into a dark room and the box shattered, would you get a blast of light when the trapped light escaped - like a light grenade? Useful as a vampire-hunting tool..."

There wouldn't be enough long-term "flash" to kill a vampire. It'd disable the beast, but that's about it. It'd live on...which isn't unfortunate, really.



"Oh -- and there is no dining cart."

No, but the luggage is well treated...

>>>>>>>>>>>>>You obviously stopped learning when you left school. There are no high pressure pushes, only 1psi pushes.

Me & a bunch of other nerds tried to calculate the speed of darkons one evening after hitting the hookah pretty hard. Cthulhu showed up and told us to knock it off.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>You can't seem to type. Was it Sulu or Uhura that showed up? And they can't calculate the pressures anyway. They're just actors, and they don't have a patent.

[emwporsche]

light and dark travel at the same speed.
you are forgetting dark matter.
for every photon traveling in one direction,
there is essentially an anti photon emitting dark in the opposite direction, at the same speed.

the word 'emitting' is not technically correct, but screw you I ate yams.

High-ER pressure pushes.

So what did this MF order? You're killing me, smalls.

Is *this* how you keep a moron in suspense?

Two possible answers, as facts conflict:
1) Lunch, as breakfast is only served until 9:45
2) Nothing, there are only 39 rows in this train.

Nice try, but your lack of knowledge is showing. I gave you everything you need to solve the problem. It's all there.

Here is another hint since none of you seem to be able to solve the simplest of problems, let alone intelligently discuss the pros and pros of my device.

The engine is NOT a diesel. If you can't solve it now you really don't know what you're talking about.

And where did Dolt-land 911 go? Come on big man...we're waiting. What's the answer?

Yes I do, and the engine is a diesel. It has to be due to the 42nd row effect. That is well known in Newtonian physics. You have no idea what you're talking about.

The engine can't be a diesel because:

FC=e^(hp)*L*cf

where
FC=Food Car
e=electric engine
hp=hewlett packard
L=Luggage
cf=caboose factor

Don't talk Newton to me. I worked with him when he was at Boeing designing the L-1011.

WE'RE WAITING>>>

[dad911]

Wrong Nostraticdamus, you need to multiply the above by Rr/Rt

where
Rr= row of passenger
Rt= total # of rows

And as there is no caboose on a passenger train, cf=1

[dd74]

Can trips to the lavatory and obscure sideglances from passenger to passenger factor into any of this?

OMG. . .you are so RONG!

did you just pull that eqn out of yer butt and re-arrange it?

The proper form is:

L=FC/(cf*e^hp)

"L" is not for "Luggage". . ."L" is for Lutfisk . .. "lg" is for "Luggage".

"cf" is for "cooling factor"
"e" is for "elements(natural)"
"hp " is "heap"

. . .and then, of course, "FC" is for "Fish Carcase."

dude, if yer gunna use an eqn, pick the right one.
sheesh!

Oh, and Boeing didnt design the L-1011 POS.

>>>>>>>>>>wrong again. Did you go to school in some third world country? Or did you just stop learning after you left school?!? My equation is correct, from years on experience selling things, and backed up by my engineer friend Issac Newton. In fact, Newton sponsors my race car. But I don't have any financial ties to him. Or Euclid. But I did work with them, and helped Archimedes design the screw. And bolt too.

dude, if yer gunna use an eqn, pick the right one.
sheesh!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>I did pick the right one. And the left one. That is your mistake...only picking the right one. What about symmetry you dolt?!?!?

Oh, and Boeing didnt design the L-1011 POS.

>>>>>>>>>>>oh right. Next you're going to tell me Lockheed didn't design the 707, 727, 737, and A300. What you don't know about stuff is mind boggling. I just present facts. Right facts. Wright facts. You bring lies. I bring videotape. You bring masking tape.

Can I bring a midget? Just for conversation?

no. not until dolt-land answers the question and shows himself to be the dolt that he doltly is.

I don`t know about the speed of dark, but considering that this obscure thread goes pretty fast, I can imagine that pure dark goes even faster. But again, it is not the dark itself that is fast, but the particles that fill it. Because the darker it is, the less particles are there to interact and slow down the incoming particles.

For instance, if you throw a midget in the dark, he will probably go faster than if you thow him in a group of midgets. But you will probably never know for sure, since you can`t see anything in the dark. I am not sure if I make my point clear, by I appologize in advance for all the midgets who will be thrown in the dark by those skeptics who don`t beleive me.

A CUP Of COFFEE...........

a good, albeit uneducated guess. Plus you used the british "cup" for volume as opposed to the neo-british "metric-cup". Please pay attention to your formulas. Remember:

C=(nB*hf/dWC)^2M

where C=coffee, nB=number of barristas, hf=hotness factor (a parameter for female barristas), dWC=density of whipped cream, and M=much.

And don't start whining about this formula. I got it from my coffee engineer friend Emil Starbuck who founded Peete's coffee. I also worked with him to invent the first latte.

[dd74]

In as much as midget throwing ("midget toss"), I believe we need input from our Oz-land Pelicans. They most probably have some insight into the art of the midget toss, dwarf hurl and midget curling.

In fact, midget bowling was a big thing in Australia not too long ago.

Midget bowling in the dark could be the answer to the speed of dark, IMHO.
