The Ask Mickeko Thread!

Ask me anything, I answer all questions (*).

Any answer given that is true and correct (as far as I know or in my opinion where applicable) will be marked with a  :fuzzy: .

 

(*) - Exceptions: Personal questions or any other questions I don't feel like answering may not be answered. Being polite might help in these cases...:P

Geese fly in a "V" formation.

Why is one side always longer than the other side? Close,but no cigar.
The correct answer is: Because there are more geese on that side.

Wisdom of the day: One answer does not have to exclude another. ;)

If you dug a hole through the centre of the Earth...and jumped in....would you stay in the centre because of the gravity?

Only at the end of the oscillations (a decaying sine wave function) of conversion of potential energy (max at the crust) to kinetic energy (max at the center) and then travel to to opposite crust (kinetic to potential). If there were no friction, this would represent a perpetual motion pendulum...but there's always some guy eating something to interfere.

why is he called the Lone Ranger......when he always has Tonto with him?

He's the Lone Ranger because all the rest of his Company were killed in an ambush. Tonto (his childhood buddy) saved him, taught him Indian ways and invented the silver bullets (more accurate).

If you were to get drunk in a country where the drinking limit is under 21 and went to the states and were still over the limit, could they arrest you for underage drinking even though you did not do the drinking in the states? 

No, they couldn't: Jurisdiction. If however you decided to drive, or cause a commotion...that'd be a different story as those violations occured in that Jurisdiction.

Did Noah have woodpeckers on the Ark?....and if so...where did he keep them...?

Yep...and that's how the flood ended: They pecked holes in the Ark, water flooded in and it came to rest on Mount Ararat. As the water rose (inside) it dropped (outside) and when the Ark filled, the people, animals exited.

Alternatively, the Ark sank and everything died, and the Cylons win.

Alternatively...No: He had the real peckers.

I would think it was the knife that eventually sliced the first bread into slices. The best thing couldn't be there without it.

No tick, no bomb. No bomb, no suicidebomber. No suicide bomber, No tick.

All of the sudden some easily manipulated miserable bloke pops up and spoils a perfect catch 22...

But really, anyone can be pushed over the edge of their own morale in bad enough circumstances.

Well, if you wait long enough something *will* materialise in there. Not very many would actually eat that though.

The real issue is that they miss their parents. As a kid, food tend to get delivered to the refridgerator at regular intervals by "magical" means.

Depends on how the mirrors are faced, and the lightning...

Are children who use sign language allowed to talk with their mouth full?

Generally, no. Ever heard a parent whose children stop eating? They'd have to put down the tools to be able to sign... :D

But even deaf people tend to mouth words when they sign... (I have no clue what the proper word is for silently moving the lips as if speaking)

Obviously I would need to know the language to understand the question. It may be possible that I can conjure up a translation of that (looks like hebrew or something related) if I try... But I won't bother :D

Plus those involuntary tics make it easier to get away with obscene language... cops look the other way if they think you have tourette's.
