A Thread for Random Thoughts ...

Why do London buses have grab bars on the front?

And Birmingham buses - I've noticed three or four different types...
(I'm going to ask the next driver I have cause to speak to)

I remember listening to a radio play a few years back where the story was that airports had been replaced by transporter systems. A woman, transporting out from Heathrow to visit her son in Australia for his wedding, had her transportsession interupted by a fire alarm. She got out but had missed her slot so went home. She then found that she had been transported, was at her son's wedding, and the UK police were hunting her down for disposal as theu couldn't have her return from Australia to find herself at home.

I was just about to post something similar. I heard that radio play too. Good I thought.

Anyway: There are as many molecules in a teaspoon full of water as there are teaspoons of water in the Atlantic ocean. Give or take.

Here's a thought...
We all wonder if we are the only life in space. Well suppose our entire universe is an infantessimaly small dot in someone elses universe. Our universe would be so small, fractions of atoms in size in relation to theirs, they could be all around us, walking on our universe, walking all over us...and neither would ever know the other was there.

William Blake had those thoughts as well:

To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour

And we might be doing the same to yet smaller universes.

Big fleas have little fleas to jump on them and bite them
little fleas have lesser fleas
and so ad infinitum

Do the Welsh have a word for diversion?

It's called Haverford West.

Do the Welsh have a word for diversion?

Yes, it's Dai-version.

 

[Asa Post]

Yes, it's Dai-version.

Somebody got it.

Maybe I am not alone...

Didn't The Cat In The Hat do something like that in a film??

Anyway, I was wondering when this site changed and multi quotes no longer became available (I haven't been on here for a week or two you see)

Oh and also

'Boy those Danes sure know how to make a TV Detective drama!' (Forbrydelsen).

Why are all fire engines called Dennis?

Hmmm, I don't see it.

I mean use Reply multiple times! (Each time you Reply it adds an extra quote.)
