I dunno I'm still waiting on a guess about how they seperate coal from rock....

[Doramius]

They burn it?

I believe this is a sexist remark but I have to think about it for a while before I attack!

Upon re-reading I apologise.
< I also had a long laugh >

I did not intend that to come out the way it did



What was the correct answer btw?

[the bomb]

Its corn!! Don't worry about the remark it was funny.

[the bomb]

What 3 organs create the most body heat?

[offline]

Don't worry about the remark

Good.
Now here is a problem. Organs transfering heat or
organs making heat?

My guesses, Skin (which is an organ)
liver and lungs.

sexual organs?!? Carpet burn

[vitualis]

Da Vinci is correct.

Actually, no it isn't.

Da Vinci never built any of those and only drew models. You could argue that he throught of the concept of these machines but since it was never build, you can't say that he invented them.

No. I'll give you the answer. I broke mine in my motorcycle accident, among other bones, and I got a "history" of the bone from my orthopod.

It's the fibula. The long, thin bone next to the tibia in the lower leg. It has served no purpose since we started walking upright

So there are some in OT that still need it. j/k

Actually, that's not entirely true. We fix the fibula all the time in fractures involving both the tibia and fibula. Furthermore, the distal end serves as part of the ankle joint.

The fibula doesn't serve an important role in weight bearing, but it is hardly useless.

Regards.

What 3 organs create the most body heat?

Somewhat of a difficult one but if I had to guess, it would be fat, brain and skeletal muscle; if you consider that an organ, and if not, the liver.

With that logic we don't have vaccines, gravity does not exist
and the earth is flat

- none of these were built either

The brain,heart and liver.

Name the American rock group whose first top forty hit was'79's " I Want You To Want Me."

What??

We are talking about inventions so yes, no one invented gravity or invented the round Earth...

Although da Vinci drew a model of a helicopter like device, he cannot be credited with inventing it. It could have never flown and he never actually built it. Would you consider all the various dreamers who designed (and built) non-functioning aeroplanes the "inventors" of powered flight or give that honour to the Wright Brothers?

Are modern science fiction writers the inventor of manned interstellar flight?

da Vinci also did not design or build a working submarine. Don't know about parachute.

There seems to be some confusion between ideas, discoveries and inventions here.

Prove it :P

Ah ha... so who invented the vaccine?

If I have an idea, why can I then write
a short description, add a quick drawing
of how it works and then patient it as an
invention

BTW The world is not round, it's a sphere and it bulges at the middle.

[Craig Tucker]

I think the point of "how it works" is key here, I could sketch a time machine and come up with a load of crap about flux capacitors and how it would work, does not mean I have invented a time machine until I have a working prototype. Following da vinci's drawing would his helicopter have flown - no.

So I work out how the heart pumps blood and so
I am the inventor? (your logic, not mine)

[thecoalman]

Augers and/or blasting caps and water???

Guess I should have been a little bit more specific. Anyhow water is part of it. The coal and rock goes into cone shaped vat containing water and pulverized magnetite. The water is agitated so the magnetite doesn't sink since it's such fine particles which changes the gravity of the water. The rock sinks and the coal floats to the top.

There's woman in Arizona that already beat you to it. She e-mailed me a request for anthacite coal for her "time machine" complete with links to diagrams and how it was supposed to work.

She probably figured that by spamming coal suppliers
she just might have an even chance of finding
someone stupid enough to keep her house warm this
winter for free

No, you have not created anything, that would come under discovery.
