Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 It has two walls with air in between. The material of the walls doesn't transfer heat well and neither does air particularly. So the stuff inside stays quite constant.Erm... air DOES transfer heat rather well. (cough) vacuum flask (cough). I thought Vacuum meant no air in there ?

BOF Posted March 5, 2012 Moderator Share Posted March 5, 2012 Yeah, my bad. I misinterpreted the empty space to mean just air. It is in fact a vacuum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggyrichard Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 So is there air in there or not? Because as Neil points out above, a vacuum means no air!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted March 5, 2012 Moderator Share Posted March 5, 2012 There is no air between the walls and the walls are of a material that radiates poorly, so that's how stuff maintains temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted March 5, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 5, 2012 Putting on my pedant hat, there is air inside the walls of a vacuum flask, just not very much. The walls don't contain a complete vacuum (because they can't). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted March 5, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 5, 2012 They claim to in public, to avoid elements of ridicule, adding to their inherent Catholic guilt, but privately are sure of a divine potter, and rib women. ..possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted March 5, 2012 Moderator Share Posted March 5, 2012 He went and became the head of the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland (apologies BOF, couldn't resist.

theunderstudy Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together. And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig". Well done to Gareth on successfully getting a bit of snatch into a VT thread. Who needs Lovely Ladies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
