Useless Facts

Dr. Seuss taught me the 27th letter was . Was he wrong?

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn’t. By subtracting where it is from where it isn’t, or where it isn’t from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn’t, and arriving at a position where it wasn’t, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn’t, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn’t.
In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn’t, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn’t. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was.
The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn’t, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn’t, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn’t be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

The 3 P’s of life insurance on a fixed budget are price, price, and price. A price you can afford, a price that can’t increase, and a price that fits your budget.

The world’s biggest crap is the Lloyds Bank coprolite. Discovered by accident during a construction project in 1972, the fossilized feces was produced by a 9th century Viking on holiday in York, England. It is 20 centimetres (8 in) long and 5 centimetres (2 in) wide. Andrew Jones, “palaeoscatologist”, described the crap as “the most exciting piece of excrement I’ve ever seen … In its own way, it’s as irreplaceable as the Crown Jewels.”

When it comes to people selling swords “tactical” means ground from a stamped blank of spring steel and given a black powder coat.

In the real world “tactical” means that it’s something used for the military. No real world military swords look like that. What they’re selling is “tacticool” not tactical.

@UrbanMysticDee
Black swords used to be tactical weapons in the sense that swords made out of black metal do not reflect light and so you have less chances to screw up and alert the enemy of your current location.

Ben Shapiro is not gay. His wife is a doctor. You can’t be gay and a Jew at the same time. He has a wife who is a doctor.

There’s a PornHub channel for that

@BikerDash
Ben Shapiro makes porn?

@UrbanMysticDee
Maybe… 🤷‍♂️

Colorado is the only state that has ever had three governors on the same day (March 17th, 1905)

A tromboner is someone who plays the trombone.

@Fleur de Lis
The music teacher from Simpson’s finds nothing funny about that.

@Dex Stewart
The sackbutt was a brass instrument from the Renaissance and Baroque eras.

It is derived from the medieval slide trumpet and is the ancestor of the modern trombone.

“Now” is not a time

@UrbanMysticDee
Now is not the time for fear. That comes later.

Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump were all born in 1946. That’s the year when the most presidents were born.
⠀⠀
Besides Clinton and Bush, other consecutive presidents born in the same year were John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson (1767), Ulysses Grant and Rutherford Hayes (1822), and Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford (1913).

Now is not a time, what time do you close?

Now, that the time is finally won.

Descendants of convicts are estimated to be 20% of Australia’s population.

Bane was wondering what would break first

Bane is a big guy (for you)

“Earth’s dirt is one of the things that sets it apart from the other rocky lifeless planets out there. But geologically speaking soil hasn’t really been around that long. Earth is 4.54 billion years old, and yet the rich reddy-brown sediments that we think of as soil didn’t appear until 450 million years ago.”

Vertebrate life is quite literally older than dirt.

@UrbanMysticDee
So when there was no earth on Earth, what would one call Earth?

@Fleur de Lis
Ocean probably.
