My random thought for the day: Is it physically possible to eat just one biscuit with your cuppa?

It is (unfortunately) very possible ... You take a biscuit from the packet, dunk it in your tea, reach for another and then discover to your horror that you just ate the last one!

Why are Random thoughts just thoughts at random

Why do mirrors seemingly reverse left and right but not top and bottom?

In three dimensions you can have a right-handed coordinate system and a left-handed coordinate system.

Two of the three axes will be in the same plane, a 3rd one will be offset - say 90 degrees, but could be anything that isn't coplanar. You can flip one of these three axes to get a different system. You can't 'reverse' two directions at the same time and end up with a different coordinate system. If you reverse say y and z you still get the same coordinate system just rotated around wrt one axis. If I reverse either 1 or 3 I end up with the other coordinate system! So reversing two doesn't work. I hope that's correct and isn't total gibberish (possible).

Andy in Sig - are you in Sigmaringen, Baden-W?! I used to live there on my student gap year!

That's the place. And I live right on the river about 20 yards from the Danube bike path.

A cubic mile of fog is made up of less then a gallon of water....it was a foggy commute this morning.

One cubic meter of the sun produces less energy than a human body.

Cripes, I used to live near Hohenzollern Gymnasium across the river from the Schloss. What on earth is another English speaker doing there?! I was the only one in 2002-2003!!
What a wonderful place, I bet the cycling is beautiful there.

Sorry ColinJ, I respect your authority when it comes to the CC forum however this ( ^ ) is surely a schoolboy error - no spare packets in the cupboard?! Planning, man!

I'm planning one day to be able to wear trousers with a 32" waist again so I generally don't have those demon biscuits in the house! (Unless someone else brings them in ... )

I haven't eaten corned beef hash for about a decade. This will be remedied soon.

From getting out the ingredients to eating it I can knock up a corned beef hash in 25 minutes with microwave assistance. Is that soon enough for you?

How do flasks keep hot things hot AND cold things cold without a switch?

Try explaining to a youngster why it's possible to blow hot and cold with the same breath.

Why do I feel compelled to eat a bowl of Sugar Puffs after I've been out drinking with my pals.
