  • Is it actually possible to play a wind-up type 78rpm records on a phonograph?

    Not Edison records but the type that you wind up the machine and suppose to use a new needle each time.

  • Is there a way to tell if the power supply is shot?

    My mobo burned up a month ago. It's a thermalbake 400 and One of the pins for the cpu power header (pin #3 a 12v pin ) melted in the socket. And so I thought the board is shot but what about the power supply itself. How do you tell if it's safe. We tried testing the connectors with a volt meter but we get nothing. But then I think it is designed to be be plugged in to a motherboard and is looking for the kind of connectivity it can be happy with before it will power up or do you think maybe it just had a bad day?

  • A burger & fries on the shelf for 180 days? Is that unusal?

    When I first read that story on the Yahoo Page I freaked out. But I got to thinking well just before the burger & fries went into the bag they were indeed fried. The bun likely did have a good presevative (a good one I guess) and the the lady put it into unto a glass cake cover or something. It has no longer any outside bacteria anymore than the day it came off the grill? Is this no different than in any other clean enviroment if it is'nt than well does anyone have any other ideas. What about other food that has just come out of the pan and into the clean room. So whats the lowndown on this folks????

  • What kind of gun fires a 2 gauge shotgun shell? What are they for and where? Just want too see the results.?

    Saw this on TV a few years ago and thought I'd see what kind of results I get here. There may have even been a #1 gauge but it was rare and like not really necessary. Here's two clues: it is fired with a pull cord very much like you have on a lawnmower or sometimes a chain. It's not legal in usa and... it actually fires more than one gun meaning ok yes it fires off we will say more than ten shots at once. and yes all at the same time.

  • Why O Why in the old western's etc do all costumes not a spot nor speck a dirt upon them?

    In the past four or five years I've only seen mayby twice that someone had speck a dirt or something that wasn't suppossed to be there (ahhh!) So is there a spottless reason for this? Like having the hair done right thing? Or are there other reasons like the risk of getting dust in cameras & gear. And even now today the make up and dust is way better but still this is given a high amount of detail & quality. Umm Law & Order looks real but I don't live there actually.

    Real Answers & Really Bizarre Answers only ok? Some of the gunfights they gert into just freaks me out. (oh did you notice never do two gun shots get fired at same time...)

  • Does our Solar system rotate on it's side in relation to the galaxy?

    I think it's so cool. Oh and if you saw my other question. I didn't know we went on a wave pattern in and out through the eliptical plain every 100,000 years or so. Any truth to that?

  • I've heard that in 2012 the earth will pass through the galactic plain, any instances of other bodies&effects?

    So the claim is that with our black hole being in that eliptical shape it would give the earth a good tug as it passes through and the force could be narrow but indeed indeed not good. Well is there any other infor observed by nasa etc. of anything happened to other bodies that have passed through this eliptical plain. Thanks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{~
