Am I just thick or what???

[millwall ken]

Hi all,
I've been browsing though this forum with much interest tonight, as I ain't been able to as much as I'd like to have recently due to work and the domestic situation - which is another story.
Anyway, I degress. As I've said, I've been glancing though some of the various posting on the forum, and looking at the content of some of them, I feel like its my first day at big school being presented with an a-level exam paper!!! Now I know that our trade is many and varied, but it does seem to me that some contributors to this forum REALLY do need to get out more.
Now, I'm about as far from Einstein, Newton and Faraday as you can get but I ain't the village idiot either...
Anyone feel the same?

how do you use a scientific calculator? is that the one with buttons instead of beads?

 

[thekingiam]

iknow the answer to the last one
if it takes three weeks to lift a load fire your labourers and advertise for new ones outside your local gym.

About what fella? What are you trying to say? Explain in a clear readable text please. Without any cluedo.

I wasn't having a pop at you Ken, I was actually having a laugh. Humour is a strange one though hey?

Read pauls post again, he hit the nail on the head.

Im glad im not taking life too seriously at the moment.

Its Thomas Edisons 164th birthday today. Happy birthday Thomas.

eddison just stole others ideas as passed them off as his own,swan invented the first electric light bulb,his home was the first in the world to have electric lighting.

Lets us know when Swans birthday is and we will beable to wish him 'many happy returns' too.

I've been dying to say that all day, although Edison did fit the first generator on Manhattan Island and loads of other things but he didn't invent the light bulb.

Wasn't he something to do with kettles as well

Blimely Swans kettles got posh

he sold dc lamps and his power company ran dc,funny that,theres loads of good reading about eddison,yes i'm that boring...big phil knows..

Thomas Edison developed and built an electrical generator capable of making far larger currents of electricity than Volta's simple cells. Edison's first major invention was in 1877, the phonograph which sat in his shed until 1923, when the record was invented. But Edison's greatest achievement came in 1879 when he created the electric company. Edison's design was a brilliant adaptation of the simple electrical circuit. The electric company sends electricity through a wire to a customer, then immediately gets the electricity back through another wire. And then and this is the brilliant part, sends it right back to the customer again. This meant that the electric company could sell a customer the same batch of electricity thousands of times a day and never get caught, since very few customers take the time to examine their electricity closely. In fact, the last year any new electricity was generated was 1937.
Today, thanks to men like Edison and Franklin, and frogs like Galvani's, we receive almost unlimited benefits from electricity. In the past decade scientists have developed the laser, an electronic appliance so powerful that it can vaporize a bulldozer 2000 yards away, yet so precise that doctors can use it to perform delicate operations to the human eyeball, provided they remember to change the power setting from "Bulldozer" to "Eyeball." lmao

It's a break from studying entangled photons. Anyway, I like "Hangin' With My Ohmies"
