The-joker Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 While In the shower Yesterday Showering Thinking Rude Thoughts. I thought Up A Question: Here It Is Forward I'm heavy, backward I'm Not. WHAT AM I ? :whistling: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quadrant Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Ah I know this. It is a wooden salmon! They cannot travel backwards (think - they always swim forward upstream), and they weigh heavy through gravity when they leap forwards. I have selected a wooden one because a wooden fish would be heavier than a normal fish. Think I have this one in the bag... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quadrant Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Definitely my wooden salmon wins this time. See how heavy they are in my garden: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonard1one Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 You really do love your wooden salmon Quadrant. Know you like to do a bit of fishing. But dare I say it, that a wooden salmon would be lighter than a real one, since wood floats, and real salmon don't tend to Two suggestions. A rocket that's left the Earth's gravitational pull. Must be worth a tenth of a point. The other - since you were having rude thoughts at the time Joker - a man having carnal knowledge of a woman missionary style. Think about it. Would have thought of that one Quadrant, you being into orgies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonard1one Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Just looked over previous posts. Was overwhelmed by Quadrant's lovely pictures of wooden salmon - you are the Man when it comes to posting images of anything and everything - and just wanted to say that the first smiley of my last post would have been a wink, but I cannot access emocation's on this phone, can only do smiley's. Anyway. Noticed that Judge Mental had gotten the answer. Nice one Man! Nice profile picture to. Would love to know how you created that. Nice riddle the-joker. But you do think of strange things in the shower - not the rude thoughts, that's not strange. Though I don't - because my heart is pure. Got a phone call.

The-joker Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Yes it was quite Interesting Answers...... Once again Judge Mental got It Right... The Question was: Forward I'm heavy, backward I'm not. what am I? If You use the word NOT then turn it around you get the word TON thats the answer. Quadrant I Like your Answers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number2Fan Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Ships!! As an example... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuro Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 This was a tough one, The Joker, I would never have got this. Quadrant, I have to say your salmon argument is utterly bizarre, and wholly irrelevant... But it did make me laugh. I can only come to the conclusion that you do like your fish :mrgreen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonard1one Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 How did I know you were going to say that Cheese Ships are very heavy, and they do float. Though sometimes they do not float. Example. The most famous ship in the World, the Titanic, which sadly hit an iceberg and stopped floating. The heaviest thing I can think of that floats is an iceberg, unless or until it melts, and again becomes water. But you are right. Heavy things can float. Whether something can float or not depends on it's density rather than it's weight. A 1p coin which is light will not float because it is made of a dense material, whilst a massive salmon made out of wood which could weigh many tons will float. Sorry I haven't any pictures of a massive wooden salmon. Most things that are heavy though are made of a dense material, so most heavy things don't float. A needle, which is made of steel, which is a dense material can float on water if placed very gently on the water because of surface tension. If you ever find yourself lost in the wilderness you can make a compass with a small container full of water and a needle. Bit of boring Physics there. But you'll thank me if you ever do become lost in the wilderness and need a compass to find your way back to civilisation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonard1one Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Neuro. I thought Quadrant's answer was totally reasonable, his reasoning was flawless, and he put forward a very convincing argument that he had got the answer. Then I began to doubt everything I thought I knew to be true and my brain hurt. Think it was the nice pictures of the wooden salmon that were - nearly - the clincher for Quadrant. If I'm ever up in court for poaching wooden salmon I'll engage Quadrant to defend me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number2Fan Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 I know why ships float. Aeroplanes also float. (I know why there too) and I am a human compass!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonard1one Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Must be because of your magnetic personality Submarines also float. Why do ships float? No googling Only teasing. I.ve never actually been on a ship. See advertisements on TV for holidays on cruise ships. Look fantastic. But can't afford. Like probably the majority of people. Knew a guy who's father was a Doctor. When he was young the family went on a cruise. He said it was fantistic. That's probably the closest I'll get to going on a cruise. But I'll make do with building sand castles and going in for a paddle I guess. Notice that as soon as Christmas is over there's advert's everywhere for holidays. Christmas is an expensive time, especially for those with children. Then as soon as it's over they start advertising holidays, which can be another significant expense. Sometimes you feel that the World we live in is trying to tear every last penny you have from you. Was sad to hear that you had to sell your car. My Mother had a car for a while when I was quite young. Was good, but she couldn't afford to keep it, so I can understand your feeling of loss. Guess that everybody can only hope that the economy improves, though it's out of our hands. The banker who recently got a 6.5 million bonus, and those like him, are probably not to worried though. Think it's an absolute bloody disgrace that you were given a 5p an hour raise after 3 years. That's why I'm a Socialist. Though I don't think that Socialism will ever work in Britain. I do think that Socialism could work. But maybe that's to idealistic. We live in the real World good or bad. Enough rambling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-joker Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Leonard1one i agree with you said.... If you ask me I cannot see UK recovering from this Recession. the damage is too Serried, Too many Problems to Correct with so little Budget...... I can see the UK sinking real Fast. Petrol price is at the highest if ever been, Tax at 20% , everything Madness. I hope i am wrong :sweatingbullets: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number2Fan Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 I have a phobia of deep water so I don't fancy a cruise myself. Have had a couple of ferry trips, one hovercraft and a couple of rowing boats but only out of necessity and quite amusing I'm sure for my fellow travellers!!

leonard1one Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hi The-joker. You can call me Leonard The Country is in a pretty bad state at the moment. But I believe that the economy will recover in time. Will be hard for many sadly until that happens. But - from the movie - The Outlaw Josey Wales - we have to endeavour to persevere. Everyone knows of The Great Depression which America suffered in the 1930's. Men who had been rich and lost everything jumped out of windows to their death. But life is more precious than riches. Millions of men lost their jobs, and survived only through the existance of soup kitchens. But America's economy recovered. Living standards improved, life was better. I think things will be tough in the UK for the next 3 or 4 years - hopefully no longer, but there will be light at the end of the tunnel. If you worry you die, if you don't worry you die, so why worry! Every Country tends to go through periods of boom and bust. I wouldn't sweat buckets - your emocation. Though I can't say that money is not important happiness, or contentment is a state of mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonard1one Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Lucky you Cheese, being on a hovercraft. Would love to do that. Though I dare say I will. Have flown in aeroplanes, but never floated in one But not very exciting, bit like being on a bus or train, boring really. Imagine being on a hovercraft would be more interesting. Don't think I would have any fear of very deep water. Though I remember once, when saw on news a piece about someone sailing round the World single handed in a fairly small yacht I thought what it must be like to be out in the middle of the ocean, which goes down, down, down, to the sea bed far, far below. Trying to make it sound scary But don't think you'll have nightmares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number2Fan Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Very big apples float Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonard1one Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 LoL How big is a big apple? Have you been conducting experiments in your secret laboratory Frankencheese? Big melons also float. I quite like big melons, and medium ones to. But I've been conducting experiments to, and I'm afraid cheese doesn't float. So you're right not to go on a cruise. Though you could wear a life jacket and you'd float. But then the tiger sharks would start to circle, then come in for a little nibble. You probably wouldn't like them nibbling on your body parts. What a lot of bollocks I talk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
