a man leaves a mall and goes to his car.there are no street lamps.no moon.no stars and no other artificial lamps yet he still finds his car with ease.how does he do this? I just found this thread, so I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in. I thought I heard this one before and the answer was: his car was the only one in the parking lot. |

Here's another: The earth weighs 6 billion tons. You build a mortar wall around the Equator weighing 1 billion tons. Including the weight of the wall, how much does the earth weigh? I'm gonna hazard a guess and say: 6 billion tons. Why? Well, where did the mortar come from, if not from Earth, which already weighed 6 billion tons? |

It took me a while to figure that one out myself when I first heard it. |

I'm sorry... I've heard all those before. hehe. ;D You took two apples, so you have two apples.
Moses didn't have an ark, Noah did.
The average man has one birthday.
They have a fourth of July in England, it comes after the third of July and before the fifth of July. Yeah... A lot of people have heard them before...but for the people that haven't, it's kind of difficult. Here's another: The earth weighs 6 billion tons. You build a mortar wall around the Equator weighing 1 billion tons. Including the weight of the wall, how much does the earth weigh? 0lbs, 0 tons Weight is the force of gravity upon an object by the earth. If the object is on another planet, this same fource is simply called the gravitational force. "The earth" cannot have a weight because it cannot be pulled towards itself. it has a mass, and im guessing that 6 billion tons is the mass multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity at the earth's SURFACE. The actual dirt and magma that make up the earth weigh nothing and have no NET gravitational force on them, because while the dirt below me has a mass that has a gravitational force coming from the earth's core, the dirt in the middle of the indian ocean (through the earth's core) cancels that out, so the earth has no net weight. |
