  • What are the lyrics to the childrens' Christmas song that begins "Softly, softly, two by two"?

    The lyrics I remember are:

    Softly, softly, two by two,

    The ox and the donkey and the kangaroo,

    The lion and the tiger and the crocodile too,

    All the animals in the zoo.

    (something something something something)

    (something something something something)

    (something something something something) Jesus Christ,

    Was born on Christmas day!

    I have a tape of it being sung by a posh boys' school choir. I want to perform it myself at a Christmas concert but I don't know all the words.

  • Have any of the mothers here read Jonathan Swift's 'A Modest Proposal'?

    If so, what did you think of it? Did it convince you to change your point of view?

    If you've never heard of it, or would like to read it, you can do so here:

  • Forces acting upon a satellite?

    I was doing my physics revision for a test tomorrow, and one of the questions was whether the forces acting upon a satellite in geostationary orbit were equal or not. The textbook says that they're not, as when a force causes something to change direction it requires constant acceleration. I think that they would be, as it is not a force causing it to change direction, but a combination of the gravitational orbit of the planet and the kinetc energy of the satellite that causes it to curve. My Dad also thinks that they would be balanced, too. Also, where would the satellite be getting acceleration from in the first place?

    Best Answer given out as applicable, of course.

  • Some nerdy jokes....?

    Why did the chicken cross the Moebius strip?

    To get to the same side!

    Two hydrogen atoms talking:

    "I think I've lost an electron!"

    "Are you sure?"

    "Yeah - I'm positive!"

    What do you get if you throw a hand-grenade into a French flooring factory?

  • How would I convince someone that Comic Sans is terrible?

    We were working on our graphics projects (about film adverts), when I noticed that his was all set in Comic Sans. I pointed out that he shohuldn't use it, as it is childish and unprofessional.

    He remained unconvinced, so I showed him http://www.bancomicsans.com/home/ and http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22comic+sans+is%... . He's seriously failing to realise how terrible Comic Sans is, especially for use in a graphics project. His best defence of the font was "F*** you, Comic Sans is awesome!".

    Any help?
