Useless Facts

Since we`re talking sausages... Echidnas (the animal Knuckles from Sonic is based on) poses a four headed sausage. They alternate heads in sets of two while mating.

 

75% of the fuel you use in your car is passed un-burned out your exhaust.
Of all the fuel you've bought for your car, your car has only used 25%.
The rest was wasted in the air.

 

Not true. That would violate the hydrocarbon emissions requirement here in the US, which since 1997 have been 0.4 grams or less of un-burned hydrocarbons per mile.

Note that a gallon of gasoline weighs about 2,600 grams, so if your getting 26 miles to the gallon, you use 100 grams of gas per mile., of which less than 0.4% can be passed un-burned out your exhaust.

 

Ummm....quite true. http://ffden-2.phys.uaf.edu/102spring2002_web_projects/z.yates/zach's web project folder/EICE - power losses.htm

 

Power loss, yes, unburned fuel, no.

 

Ahem....arguing the veracity of something said in a thread entitled "Useless Facts"?

 

IKR? Bigfoot moved to Omaha.

 

Facts.

 

No fact is more useless than one that isn't true. And, that's a fact.

 

The electric chair was invented by a dentist.....which shouldn't surprise anyone since dentists are known for being evil master minds.

 

Lies and expressed ignorance are not facts, whether useless or not. And thermodynamic limits on the efficiency of internal combustion engines are not related to the amount of un-burned fuel that goes out the tailpipe of a car.

You were either very wrong or trolling. Either way, just accept that you've embarrassed and discredited yourself and move on. It's just too bad for you, in this case, that your user name is easy to remember.

 

Dentistry is one of the professions with the highest suicide rates because they're so consistently vilified for their work in the medical field.

 

Mental illness is more common in psychiatrists than in the general population.

 

I'm so goddamned excited and pumped! The end of a successful week and tomorrow I'll be going to a football game where my college team will be competing against New Mexico State University. I have the clothes all set out and am fully prepared to drown myself in the culture that is American College Football.

 

The Kink Armory. A murder occurred there a couple years ago in the basement shooting range. Pretty disgusting place. If ever in SF and want a chance with a porn actor/actress, head to the bar across the intersection. Kink owns it and they pick public people from there to go party in the armory.

 

Just realized I can post pictures from my phone to this forum. Sooo...

Here's me at the park.

 

I pictured you to look more like an Orca Whale. Because why else would you have one as your avatar?

 

Wow. You look exactly like when I used to have hair

 

Because I like orca whales. So how do you like the real me?

 

You're not quite Orca enough. You seem pleasant, but... need more fins!

 

But Bayview, that is impossible! Don't you like me for who I am??


I DON'T NEED FINS!!!

 

Not gonna lie, i'd like you more if you were a toothed whale in the oceanic dolphin family, but I feel that way about most people.

 

So I'm a fleur de lis?
