Miss-Higgy Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I'm quite bored and have nothing better to do with my time today, so I though I'd create this thread. I'm absolutly full of useless information and possible 1million pound question answers! I was just wondering if you guy's had any interesting fact's to share. Could be anything or you could have a reason as to why a fact is incorrect! Try and keep it simple with your question's with clear answer's. Or just your snip-it of factual/use full information E.G 1.Did you know Blackpool gained it's name from back in medieval time's, because tributary's came down from the lake district and when it passed through Blackpool the water became black and murky. 2.Did you know bubble gum actually contains traces of rubber? 3.Did you know that the swear word F**K was created buy Henry the 8th, and it was used as a consent given by himself that a married couple can bare children. He would send out plaques to be placed in-front of the door that read "Fornication Under Consent Of King..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Southend was named as such because it is the endz in the south. A baseball has 108 stitches. An official golf-ball has 336 dimples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 The green little stalk in a garlic glove causes bad breath after a meal, not the garlic itself. Remove that and you won't have a shitty taste in your mouth later/the day after. Works 5000% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TROYston Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 If a lorry containing a liquid was to be driving down a road, and it crashes spilling its liquid load into a river, the most dangerous thing for it to be carrying would be milk. Milk cannot be filtered and it takes oxygen out of water killing lifeforms in its way. Most peoples first answer is normally oil or petrol. But nonetheless true fact for you.

Surely chemical spill would be more harmful than milk? Like chlorine or bromine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 true fact So it'd be more harmful than hydrocholirc acid, or bleach? I doubt that milk is the most dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish-Finger-er Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 cyanide?? hydrochloric acid wouldnt be too bad id think, purely because of the amount of water flowing would bring it down to a sensible pH in a short time(given that from memory water pH is pretty variable anyway due to acid coming off tree's in forestries etc.(hence why some forestry commissions drop bags of limestone into small streams etc so as not to effect the ph balance in small streams, but with the water passing through a river, the whole thing becomes pointless) also, spare a thought for those lactose intolerant trout.

Simpson Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Did you know that Miss Higgy's other half is called Jim? Really? Shes never posted that before... oh wait. If a lorry containing a liquid was to be driving down a road, and it crashes spilling its liquid load into a river, the most dangerous thing for it to be carrying would be milk. Yea give me plutonium or uranium over milk any day, I drink them for fun but MILK.... you must be crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamus Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 I doubt there are many tankers travelling around with concentrated acids or plutonium on board. Common bulk transport fluids leaves you with only a few options. I know the statement doesn't rule them out and I'm fairly sure there are loads of chemicals out there more harmful, its just the common misconception that petrochemicals are the worst thing for the environment, typically they're actually fairly easy to contain and treat.

TROYston Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) Milk cannot be filtered where as everything else can either be filtered or stopped. Acids are generally harmless in copious amounts of water as they become neutralized. Simply text for you, et a glass of milk and pour water into it, and then try to separate them. Oil floats (sinks?) so inst a major harm, milk being the same consistency as water mixes and removes any oxygen. For proof of this fact ask your local firefighters.

According to environmental challenges in farm management (catchy title, hey?) milk is listed a big time oxygen demander. And I can get the point there's nothing you can really use to clean up milk, apart from soak the shit out of the area to hopefully dilute it down. I was going to point to DDT as an example of something that would be worse, but it's banned, so wouldn't really be found in tankers on the road.
