Can anyone explain:-
If you choke a smurf what color does he go?
If you were traveling at the speed of light and switched your headlights on would they do anything?
And how do "keep of the grass" signs get there?

If the wind is traveling at 70mphs north, and your doing 70mph north in your car, if you stick your head out the window, is it a normal day?

if you dismiss the disruption you and your car make to the flow of the extremely consistent wind blowing north and every atom or molecule making the wind was indeed traveling directly north and parrallel to the path of your motion and in no way varying
yes.
however wind is a general tendancy of the molecules to favour 1 direction over any other a lot of them are going the other way a lot of the time even if the main body isn't
go the otherway and feel the force of 140 MPH wind and there will be a distinct possibility that your hair will blow out behind you
which is why its always best to learn to hang glide with a wind of 30mph + comin right at ya if its going with ya you would have to run really damn fast to take off.
try flying a kit off the back of a lorry doing 30 in 30 mph wind
one direction is mighty exciting
the other causes a serious accident cos your kite flapped onto the screen of the lorry and he ran over a small pony and lost his license

if photons of light are particles
then when they fly out ya brake lights they must give a small kick like tiny bullets out of a gun
hence to go faster never put ya headlamps on
and slowing down with no brake lights has got to be quicker..... i.e brighter the brake light the longer the stopping distance

nothing travels faster than the speed of light
ok
but what about the point where the blades of your scissors cross
it moves towards the end of the scissors as you close them
it picks up speed the more closed your scissors are.
so when the scissors are an infinitely small distance from being closed that point where they cross must be traveling infinitely fast towards the points of the scissors
infinitely has got to be faster than the speed of light

I think it means dont bend your back Steve. But it's o.k to bend your legs, but keep your back straight.

Is it correct that the difference between a duck is that one leg's both the same?

thing is, we always
assume Dave is correct on these matters. He rarely gets challenged, then always has the definitive answer.
Now, bear with me,....what if he is wrong on this one? Would the universe implode, would we get immediately sucked into the nearest black hole (or the farthest, depending on whether you think its all curved) , would Roger Delgado (rip) appear and administer the 'evil look'?
Just a thought. Not seriously going to challenge him, I respect the universe and the order of space too much.

John, I was going for purple on the smurf choke, but then I thought my mate goes purple from being red initially, when I choke him.
So I'd go for being even more blue when choked.

Second thoughts, dont bend your legs Ste, this could be even more dangerous if not very painfull, Perhaps bending your knees would be better
Ian, remember purple is made up of the colours blue and red, so maybe very very dark purple
