Chindie Posted March 24, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted March 24, 2010 Mentioning Hemingway, his suicide was quite grisly (and this is properly useless info). He decided to kill himself with his favourite shotgun, but wasn't able to fire it whilst holding it due to the length, thus when the moment to kill himself came he propped the stock up against the skirting board of the wall of the hall outside the room he was in, leant the end of the barrel on his forehead above his eyes, leant forward onto the barrel further and pulled the trigger. I imagine it'd be rather like a very explosive scalping and not a pretty sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted March 25, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted March 25, 2010 Mila Kunis is Ukrainian. She was 14 when she filmed the first series of "That 70s Show". She lied about her age to get on the show. A bit creepy when you think of the storylines they had! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when that became known. I had a friend who had always joked about cracking one off over that show.. oh how we tore him apart when we heard she was only 14. Though, in his defense, I quite fancied her too. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus. My kind of useless fact It rotates the "wrong" way too. All planets orbit the Sun in an anti-clockwise direction, and they rotate on their own axis in an anti-clockwise direction too. Venus rotates in a clockwise direction, which is probably why it takes so long to spin. Given how long it takes to do anything, it's also probably why we say women are from Venus.

colhint Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 the largest number known to man is called Graham after professor graham. this ends in a 7, it was discovered in the 70's. Prior to this the largest number known was a googolplex. The zeroes in a googleplex would fill every atom in the universe, a Graham is massively larger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwpzxjor1 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 How does your number work BOF? Graham's number has a simple algorithm [1] for computing these digits may be described as follows: let x = 3, then iterate, d times, the assignment x = 3x mod 10d. Except for omitting any leading 0s, the final value assigned to x (as a base-ten numeral) is then composed of the d rightmost decimal digits of 3\uparrow\uparrown, for all n > d. (If the final value of x has fewer than d digits, then the required number of leading 0s must be added... I'd like to know more about yours, please enlighten me.
