A thread for those questions you wouldn't dare ask in real life/normally!

[LittleMissGerardButlerfan]

Please feel free to ask questions and if I know the answer I will tell you, also feel free to answer others questions!

My stupid question is

Would I be able to see nits in my sons very short hair if he had them? (He has short brown hair)?

Ilikethebreeze "Trouble is, it is.
[It would be so much easier sometimes if it wasnt]."

I'd take the easy route, love. It'll save a lot of argument too.

I have a question and I admit I'm probably an idiot for not knowing, but I've always been too embarrassed to ask...
When you see someone doing British Sign Language (the translators) say on CBeebies they move their mouth as if forming the words but they're not forming the actual words, they're not saying them like a lip reader would read them IYSWIM? What are they doing with their mouths and please excuse my ignorance.

I dont want to get into it either!
If you want to start a thread about it on the philosophy board, suck, I will happily contribute.

But it isn't proven fact? Ilikethebreeze. That is the only fact here. That is why being religious is often referred to as "keeping the faith". One must have faith to believe because it cannot be proven.

There isn't really anything about it to debate,on this board or the philosophy board.

There have been many on the philosophy/religion board Ilikethebreeze.

They all go like this:

"I believe in God, so it must be true."
"Well, show me some proof?"
"There is none - you just know."
"So there's no proof then."
"Yes there is because we believe it."
"That's not proof though."
"yes it is."
"No it's not"
"yes it is."
"No it's not"
and so on.

i dont. i have a cough and it hurts when i laugh.

I agree Alis and MardyBra.

Well maybe we should technically agree to disagree breeze. I'm on the side that seeks proof.

I agree to disagree too. It wouldnt make people become Christians, even if there were proof.

Oh. The thread went all religious :( so I'm still going to be in the dark re: my question on sign language translators.

I want to know that too Captain.

Hope someone can answer!

Hopeful bump?

What's the difference between being tipsy and being drunk? And how does one know how to prevent overdrinking into the latter?

Yes planes have windscreen wipers.

My question, why do we believe facts we read on mn?

Someone up thread said why is Auction pronounced 'ocktion' well it isn't (at least not by me) It is pronounced 'orction'

When I sign BSL I 'say' the words silently as well. However the grammar is different.. so My name is.. would be signed Name mine is. I think that affects how we see the lip patterns.

Plus facial expression is important so the lip patterns may be distorted by facial expression?

Please let someone more knowledgeable about BSL come along and put right the muddle I've created!!!

which facts lovebeing?

never... I'm going to have to concentrate next time I watch cbeebies, so it could be a grammar thing - that's interesting. The translators are often very expressive as well which may make it hard for a non signer to make out a word? Thank you for answering!

mooface I can tell the difference personally as when I'm tipsy I can still control what I am saying, when I'm drunk I say what's in my head without the filter to stop it :o

It's a fine line to cross and not easy to control!

I find it easier to tell if I'm drinking spirits than if I'm drinking wine :o

we went on a cogwheel railway last week that had it's windscreen wiper on the inside. and it was operated manually by the driver too.

My question is - can anyone else make a crunching/static noise by tensing a muscle in their ears?

No methe- I can't

My question is- why do the put round pizzas in square boxes?

Round boxes are probably too expensive to make.

AnythIng/everything, I've even got dh convinced if we don't know something I can post and someone will know the real answer
