Why is that? The earth is flat. :thumbsup:

He's on the other side of the paper though, so everything is upside down.

This struck home as my butt was crawling through an early 1900s attic yesterday to wire up a ceiling light for my wife痴 new 澱usiness? Knob and tube, bx wiring, exposed wiring ends taped over and or wire nutted sticking up out of the old rock wool insulation. In July.
While maneuvering over ceiling joists that were 4 feet apart on my belly and knees!

I'm struggling with shimming around in my attic's 2ft spaced trusses running speaker and camera wires all over... can't imagine!

That would be useful to figure out whether you are inside of a tree or on the outside.

I now I understand the phrase... "cannot see the forest for the trees"

I've used that method, especially whilst in a city, to get my bearings... down here a dish is always orientated North.

Oh, and in the same vein, moss grows on the South side of trees. :earth:

Perfect example of why to be careful of taking advise... let alone, directions from someone you have no idea of their background.

Hot water will make ice cubes faster.

This one is true.​

They will pull up the rebar or wire while walking on it during a concrete pour an it will remain in the middle of the pad after they walk on it.

With typical concrete mix (not a pump mix) once the wire mesh is pulled up a little it will stay, pull it up too much and it is about impossible to get it back down as the large aggregate in the pour flows under the wire regardless of how much it is walked on...

This one is true.​

Yes! A true myth.

Now, if you mean "water that was previously heated and cooled to room temperature will freeze faster than room temperature water that has not been heated" I would say that is, as the real Mythbusters would say "plausible".

But if you put 32°F liquid water and 212°F liquid water in a freezer that can maintain 0° ambient, the cooler one will freeze first. At least, if we are talking about an event in this universe. I'm not familiar with the physics in other universes.

I will pay you back when I get paid !

Are you looseing your mind ?
