:D I like it!

Another favourite, 'How long is a piece of string', why not just say 'I don't know'?

The famous question "How long is a piece of string?" is traditionally regarded as rhetorical rather than seeking an answer. It's a question often asked to parallel the unanswerability of another question. For example:

First person: "However long are they going to take to get all this sorted out?"

Second person: "How long's a piece of string?!"

...which means, in effect, "the question is about as answerable as a question about the precise length of pieces of string in general".

Well Fahrenheit is based on body temperature, Celsius is based on water. You can drown in water but I don't think body temperature can kill you, so I conclude that Celsius is the best for metal as it can kill you.

Actually Fahrenheit is based on salt water, 0 degrees fahrenheit is where salt water freezes and 200 is where it boils.

on that note, the reason the person that dealt it is the first to smell it is because when you fart, a little gas escapes up through your mouth / nasal passages...

Not saying it's not true, but this here reeeeeally challenges my understanding of the human body. Care to explain the bowel->trachea movement?
