After watching an episode of Boss Baby with DD on Netflix, I’ve just googled what is the difference between a xylophone and a glockenspiel.

A xylophone has wooden bars and a glockenspiel has metal bars.

Not sure if this counts but the whole Emma Thompson and Helena Bowen Carter scandal. I was shocked!

Why does eating sugar/refined carbs give me horrendous palpitations.

I got a reasonable answer Smile

Reviews of a product called My Perfect Eyes, because I just saw an advert and it looked too good to be true. 👀

"How do you make cocaine?"
I was reading a thread on another website about legalising drugs as a way of combating the gang violence that is happening in Ireland right now and was wondering if there was such a thing as ethical cocaine and would it actually be possible to make cocaine in Ireland if it was legalised.
I have never taken cocaine nor do I plan to take it or make it in the future.

Can you build muscle mass over 60?

I read an article that said you couldn’t, extolling why you needed to exercise young - and I wanted to see if it was true. It isn’t entirely - apparently from recent research you can build muscle over 60, though a certain type can’t be regained.

I’m not over 60 and I don’t lift weights! I was just curious.

I've been researching fields near me for metal detecting and have been trying to find out which ones I can't go anywhere near, even though I have the farmers permission because of the known archaeology.

What countries can you not fly non stop to from UK.

Random thought that popped into my head. Ended up reading some interesting information about passport and visa quirks, but I still don't really know if a full list of the countries exist.

Who (if anyone) covered "Liverpool Lullaby" besides Cilla Black.

Does the queen put on her own knickers

ErrolTheDragon · 29/01/2020 00:32

The last thing I googled was 'Saltatory conduction' because I saw it upthread and wanted to know what it was.

Before that, the word 'vernation' to see if it existed and if so what it meant.

"What is hail"

After a conversation with a colleague about what exactly falls from the sky and what it's made up of ... slow office day Grin

PenguinsOnParade · 29/01/2020 00:42

"Trevor McDonald". DH and I were trying to guess how old he was. Not as old as I had guessed. Blush

Before that it was "list of martial arts" as we were trying to remember the name of Krav Maga because there was someone on the TV with a name that sounded quite similar and we said he sounded like a martial art and then couldn't remember the name of the one we'd been thinking of.

It's been an exciting day here. Grin

Peter Tavy. I saw a lovely cottage on Escape to the Country which I wasn't really paying attention to. I thought it was an estate agent not an actual village Blush
