I immediately thought "wow, that looks like something Minecraft would generate".

And here I thought the real world couldn't compare...

You got it! It's just sticky skin. All claims of human magnetism are false:

A plethora of articles on this can also be found on The Google.

It's not real though. Being shocked by electricity doesn't make human flesh magnetized. This is science not magic. All claims of human magnetism are false:

That's not how probabilities work. It's like saying this:
.
FunStats: There's a 50% chance for a coin flip to come up heads.
guest: That's BS! I've flipped a coin 2 times and it didn't come up heads at all!

Comes from a Forbes article on Skyrim mods, so it's likely Skyrim, but a modified version. It looks great without mods, but there are visual mods that make it look even better, like this picture for example. More pictures:

I would hope that after someone tried this and was successful that they would reveal it, pay the bill, and then give the waiter/waitress a huge tip for being an awesome person. That'd be so cool!

I wonder what your blood flowing sounds 21 comments

Decibels are measured on a logarithmic scale from -∞ to ∞. The table linked is only a sample range.
.
The range of sounds we know of run from -9.4 dB (the quietest room mentioned in this post) to +194 dB (the loudest sound possible in Earth's atmosphere, due to the way dB are calculated). Louder and quieter sounds are possible, however.
(For the mathematically inclined: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_pressure#Sound_pressure_level )

It's dry, so they need to water the crops. The device that does this spins in a circle to reach all the crops, making circular fields the best design.

30 Facts that sound like BS 60 comments
funstats · 10 years ago
Nope! It SOUNDS LIKE BS, but it's actually true. Let me show you:
.
Here are the diameters (in km) of each planet. The data is from NASA so we can be sure it's good:
http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/
.
Add up all of the diameters, except pluto, and you get 404,172 km. That's the distance the planets would span if they were lined up side by side. Now take a look at the moons orbit around earth:
http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/moonfact.html
.
Look under "orbital parameters" and see that, since the moon's orbit is elliptical, the distance between the earth and the moon varies from 357,000 km to 407,000 km. So SOMETIMES (when the moon is farthest away), this fact is absolutely true.
.
Who would have thought?

30 Facts that sound like BS 60 comments

If you fold a piece of paper in half, it's now 2 pieces of paper thick. If you fold it in half again, it's 4 pieces of paper thick. A third fold and it's 8 thick. After folding it 42 times, it would be 2^42 = 4,398,046,511,104 (that's over 4 trillion) papers thick. That would be plenty to reach the moon.
.
Sadly, this isn't possible because the paper also gets smaller with each fold, and some area is lost in the fold itself. If we could fold an 8.5x11 piece of paper this many times without losing area to the folds, it would end up 0.0000052452 by 0.00000405311 inches in size. SCIENCE!

The app is the secret. The app costs $2.99 once and gets you a lot of pro features (like step-by-step) forever. It's well worth the $2.99 for what it does! (Works on iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, or Android devices)

The color of money 8 comments
funstats · 10 years ago
No, it's trying to say that the US money is based off Monopoly money, as Monopoly has been around a lot longer than these new colored bills. However, if you actually look up the real bills, they're nowhere near this bright in color, and some aren't even close. The $50 isn't even blue. Someone edited these to appear the right colors. The real bills are here:

That one works. The other link appears to have gotten screwed up. It may be caused by the number sign/pound sign/hashtag (oh please don't call it that last one) in the link.

It's an actual roller coaster. It normally has actual roller coaster cars on it. This was done for a stunt. They made special skates to use on the roller coaster track:

Um, actually it does. That's a polar graph, not your average f(x) function. Take a look:
