finest deipnosophistry (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) tradition. And circumlocution
and other revolutionary strings are not digressing ;-
string has always been a round.

Have you looked lately - space around us is hairless
Are we approaching black holiness ?

217978 2004-02-28 21:03:00 Close, but no cigar Winston.:D

The theory behind the dictum "A Black Hole has no hair" is an essential factor in determining the perceived length of a piece of string at the event horizon of a Black Hole.

Consider this conundrum from the perspective of a very long but finite length of string passing through the event horizon.

I have tried, and managed to get part-way down
the string but then my brain expl%*#oded and now I
have big&*%ger pro)*@#blems to sol#@&*^!ve.

Was that the Maori boy question?

Why does the red cow give white milk when its always eating green grass?

At the moment there does not appear to be a lot of grass. Cows are eating Maize and other silage.

Why is milk from a woman white in colour considering what some women eat?
:2cents:

As to the peice of string
It appears to me to be twice as long as half its length.

If the string gets to Warp 5 it is unlikely you will see it.

It was a fun thread.

And would you believe - some of it still hits a nerve three and a half years later..?

Yes, I just went back and reread the whole thing... life was so much simpler then.

My burning question is: To hell with the string disappearing like a snake down a drainpipe, where did all those people go?
