-One of the great philisophical questions is thus; "Can you really claim to derail a thread when the thread was in the Spam board to begin with?"
You know why it's on the spam board?
They put it there so i don't derail it.

-The thread was created within the Spam board by ThatCanadianDude, who, unless he's mistaken, is currently not a mind-slave of GabuEx.

-Being a mind-slave to GabuEx is not such a bad thing. Even though I am not one, there is a 96.2333 repeating chance that you will be happy and at peace with your lives.

-any post that goes off topic, can be considered to have de-railed the thread.

-Even in the spam board we still follow a set of rules, when one or more of those rules are broken, the thread in which it was broken in, has been de-railed, even for a short while.

-This is the useless facts thread, and we are told to post useless facts. By posting useful facts, the rule has been broken thus de-railed.

-De-railment of a board can last through many posts, or be as short as a single post. Said post has still de-railed the thread, even for such a short amount of time.

-I have posted more useful facts, thus de-railed this thread yet again.

-de-railment of a thread does not have to be caught by a moderator or admin to count as de-railing a thread.

Sliced bread was not invented in the 1920s in America, but rather in medieval times. Knights used bread as plates.

Which reminds me of this fact:

Scams has been around since the Ancient Greeks. What you see today is the more hi-tech versions of those scams.

Edit:
If you're supposed to be a con-artist, and you look like one; you're not doing it correctly.

The phrase "con man" means "confidence man" and it popped up because of a guy who gained the confidence of people, and asked to borrow an expensive item, never to return it. Expensive pieces were more likely to be watches back in those days.

FACT: Grass is green.

:spikeno:

Fact: If you think about it, Grass is every color, but green. Why? Because when you abosrb something, you take it in, and grass takes in every color but green.

The problem with the above fact, that people will argue: is that when you take white light and send it through a prisim you get all the colors of the rainbow... so people will argue that white light is the combination of all the colors. However, if you think about it, white light is the reflection of all the colors, at the same time, thus whatever reflects and we see as white, is in fact a void of all colors, while black is the combination of all colors. Take the following into consideration:

If you take a blue and a red filter, and place one ontop of the other, then place it in front of white light, you will get purple, which is a darker color than the red and blue filters if they were used seperately. Purple and green don't mix very well, so if you add a green filter on top of the other two, you will get a very dim light. You'll still be able to see it, as some of the light still manages to pass through the filters (they aren't perfect), but not a whole lot. Thus using three filters sort of produces a Black color.

Light isn't as constant as the world believes it is. it moves at a constant speed because the photon fights against friction, due to small particles in space, and on every planet. If you were to put light into a perfect vacuum (black hole), or into an area of space with less particle, the photon will speed up now that it faces less friction.

Space isn't a perfect vacuum, if it was, it would be void of all particles. A black whole is a perfect vacuum.

There is a begining to every cycle. Which came first: the chicken or the egg? The egg because dinosaurs laid them long before the chicken even existed. Dinosaur or the egg? Based on knowledge that some fish species (not all) lays eggs, one can assume that ancient aquatic life did as well; which means the egg came before the dinosaur. Ancient Aquatic life, or the egg? Ancient Aquatic life, as the first organism is believed to have formed inside water, and was a single-cell organism that reproduced asexually. This means we can trace our roots, all the way back to the very first single-cell oragnism.

the phrase: "energy can neither be created, nor destroyed" is a lie. How did it come into existance in the first place? however, what ever created energy has long since gone, or is still producing mass amounts of energy and we just don't know it. But everything we know about the universe says that there is nothing powerful enough to destroy it, except maybe for a black hole as we do not know what goes on at it's center. On this note, energy will forever be infinite with the technology we have, which means we can live for how ever long we want. However, everything must come to an end eventually, including our lives.
