OT: Random Thoughts

[Atrocities]

The local radio station does this on thursdays and sometimes some really funny things are said.

What if the hoki poki is what it is all about?
Who invented the Potato Chip?
Do Cats Dream? And if so, what do [i[they[/i] dream about?
Why does murphies law always apply?


Basically if you have random thought our question you post it. Some are serious, others are just Duh, and many are "Damn That is a good question."

Why does it always rain on my day off?
Why is it the price of gas always jumps the day I fill my tank?
When the IRS offers to help you isn't that an oxymoron?

[Atrocities]

When does a puppy become a dog?
Why do cats look at things that are not there?
Why does a bird crap on your car after you wash it?

Why does everything end in 0.99 cents?
Why does Ice float?
Does the President pay income tax?
If we own our property, why do we have to pay tax on it?
If you pay sales tax on something then sell it, why does the buy have to pay sales tax on it again?

-What is gravity?
-How can a mass atract other mass?
-Is it the size/weight of the mass what define the strenght of the gravity force? If so, then Gas Planets should have a lower gravity!
-How about the Sun?
-Why the gravity force is opossite to the centrifugue force?
-Why do scientists keep saying that they know what gravity is when they barely know how it works?

Some random answers:

- Ice floats because it is less dense than water

- Although gas planets are less dense than rocky planets, they're so much larger that they have a much bigger mass.

- The sun is so friggin' big so it is no mystery.

- I think masses attract each other in the same manner as the nuclear strong force works in atoms... but then again I'm no physics major.

- I believe a chicago chef in the late 1800s made the pototo chip.

- I think my cat dreams about chasing creatures, or eating the birds that taunt him on the fence.

- Puppies are dogs to start with.

So there can't be a medium sized gas planet, right?

By the way, is it Earth a medium sized planet?

I think in terms of SE:IV, Earth can be classified as a medium planet - but I couldn't hazard a guess in our real universe - same for the existence of Medium-sized gas giants although I don't see why it's not possible if the right conditions are present.
