got another one

Where does the apparently rude phrase given below originate?

"its cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey"

Also what activity do the following phrases come from

"Kicking the bucket"
"Money for old Rope"
"Pulling your leg"

1 The black box flight recorder is painted orange, so why don't they call it an orange box?
2 When a fly lands on the ceiling, at what point does it turn upside down?
3 Is it because light travels faster than sound that some people appear bright until you hear them speak?
4 If it is zero degrees outside today and it is supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow how cold will it be?
5 Why do you press harder on a remote control when you know the battery is dead?
6 Why is a carrot more orange than an orange?
7 How much deeper would the ocean be if sponges didn't grow in it?
8 If man evolved from monkey and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes?
9 Before they invented drawing boards what did they go back to?
10 How is it possible to have a civil war?
11 If you try to fail and succeed, which have you done?
12 Why is it called the tourist season if you can't shoot them?
13 If the black box flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash why isn't the whole plane made out of the same stuff?




Okay, smartarse question require smartarse answers . . . remember, I said I would answer questions, not be CORRECT!

1. Black box sounds cooler

2. When the fly is two body-lengths away from the ceiling, it starts to rotate and when it hits the ceiling, the suction cups on the ends of the feet allow it to overcome the small amounts of gravity and stick to the ceiling.

3. Yes

4. It's all Relative. In otherwards, go ask yer mum.

5. Sometimes when the batterys are low, you have to shake the control a little, or exert a little more pressure on the remote to get that last little bit of juice out of 'em. We don't know they are absolutely dead. And we are trying to annoy women to the point where they change the batteries for us.

6. To trick people into thinking it tastes better than an orange DON'T FALL FOR IT FOLKS! IT'S A TRAP!!!

ehm

7. 1.5 litres. ya, that's right, 1.5 litres. Go ahead, prove me wrong. . .

8. There are different levels of evolution, some are just not as evoled as others. I mean, look at the Cricket thread . . . (that aught to get the aussies in here . . .)

9. The stick on the dirt floor

10. Civil also means relating to citizens. So a Civil War is a War amoung Citizens on the same nation.

11. does it matter?

12. Do you also try to shoot the ball during Football season?

13. Not cost affective. Plus the plane would never get off the ground . . .

Okay BK, here's one that had me stumped for a bit:

Heritability is defined as h2 = Vg / Vp. Explain the meaning of the equation and discuss how one actually goes about estimating heritability.

Ah, Genetics. h2 is the %% of probability of getting gene you are looking for. Vg is the number of occurances the desired gene is expressed in the possiblities. Vp is total number of possiblities.

The big difficulty comes with dominate and recessive traits. In simple genotypes, there is one dominate and one recessive. If D is Dominate, and r is recessive, and the cross (ie the reproduction process that you should already understand of the parent having two genes and only giving one in reproduction) of two genes between two Dr's lead to 4 possible combos, DD, Dr, Dr, and rr. If their is the Dominate gene (ie D) expressed in the resultant genotype will have that trait expressed. the only time a recessive trait ie r will be expressed is if both genes passed are the recessive ones (rr).

So back to the equation, and using a cross of the two Dr's, the percentage of the domantent trait expressed (ie h2) is going to be all the times the domenant trait is expressed (DD, Dr, Dr) 3 / total combos (4) or 75%. The times the recessive traits are express are . . .yes you in the back? Correct, 25%. It gets more complicated with mulitply traits (also called alleles) like eye color, or blood type, but this is the basics. If you need more info, please click here: http://www.workingdogs.com/doc0189.htm

Thanks,

BK
