I'm still all for Geneck's idea of a language board.

If your dog is fat, you aren't getting enough exercise.

If someone tells you nothing is impossible, ask him to dribble a football.

Some users here at SFN:

IMM-In My Memory

AP-AzurePhoenix (I think)

YDOAPS-Yourdadonapogos

I have refered to insane_alien as IA, but that one really isn't official.

A single brain cell can communicate with over 25,000 other cells at a time.

A neanderthal's brain is larger than a modern human's.

If the average man never trimmed his beard, it would grow over 30 feet in his lifetime.

All of those were from a book called science trivia.

Is anyone interested in an aerospace or spaceflight subforum in the sciences area?

I am highly interested in aerospace, but it is a topic that I can't see sparking a discussion.

I know these have already been said, but how about a meteorology/earth science forum...

Still need a source; I don't find it reasonable that our excrement is all that different from any other mammal. I think human fecal matter gets broken down, and also can be used (and is/was by some human groups) for combustion and fertilizer.

My friend (who goes to India every year for a month) says farmers burn human fecal...

There is no b.com. However, there is beta.com. Beta is "B" in the Greek alphabet. That's kinda wierd.

It was wierd, and kind of funny (at least to me), so I posted it.

It's the same for C,D, ane E.

Perhaps there can be another news forum. Only this time the news will not go to the front page, and will not have to be checked before posted. Also, it should only be science news. The main reason why I think this new news forum will benefit SFN is because there is so much news out there, and not enough of it is posted because it has to fit certain requirements to get to the front page (or a different reason. I don't know why).

These are science forums. Why don't we have a forum on 'military science'?

 

aguy2

I agree with aguy2. A military science forum may be interesting.

I would make posts about the robotic armies that will go into service in the next 35 years, or basically the technology that is being developed.

There is no a.com. However, there is alpha.com. Alpha is "A" in the Greek alphabet. That's kinda wierd.

What about an animal conservation forum?

i was always taught it was "Olympus mons" not "Mons Olympus"

your correct

'']Mercury is the only planet with no moons.

I need a source...I've heard that venus also has no moons. http://www.dustbunny.com/afk/planets/venus/

Wyadotte Cave in southern india contains the worlds highest underground mountain-135 ft. (40.5 m) high!

hehe some of those were funny

Stars at the center of the milky way galaxy are traveling at 1% of light speed, about 3,000 km/s.

In an airtight room, you will die from breathing in your own toxic carbon dioxide, not from lack of oxygen.

The praying mantis is the only insect that can turn its head sidways like humans.

Termites produce about 52% of the atmosphere's methane gas.

Replying to: The world's largest amphibian is the giant salamander. It can grow up to 5 ft. in length.

Actually, the largest amphibian can grow up to six feet. It is the Chinese giant salamander.

Another fact on amphibians: One of the smallest frogs in the world has the largest tadpole, it grows backwards!

there are more ways to arrange 33 people on 33 seats than there are drops of water in the world.

In michigan it's illeagal to tie an alligator to a fire hydrant.

If you have any interesting facts on science post them here!

Here are some of my facts:

You burn more calories eating celery than celery has in it.

People that smoke a pack of cigarettes every day puts a halfcup of tar in his or her's lungs each year.

I'll post more later.
