Guest Pauly Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Here's some questions for you and I can't for the life of me find an answer to this one....... My Dad is doing a quiz with his next door neighbour and I found out for him that 'R C Lamburn' is also known as Richmal Crompton who wrote the Just William stories, but I was unable to find out: 1. The official name for the 'study of clouds' and 2. What it's called when a place is named after a person. eg. Washington was named after George Washington Can anyone help pleeeeeeeeeeeease cos it's doing my head in and I can't find it anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch Posted December 20, 2003 Author Share Posted December 20, 2003 The sea is warmer in Winter than in Summer, you may not beleive it but its up to 5deg C warmer and thats why we get High Preassure weather during Winter because the air is rising from the sea and falling on the land because the land is cooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosherchik Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Reindeer urine is very narcotic because Reindeers eat magic mushrooms that are too strong for us humans to cope with. They absorb all the bad stuff and wee out pure LSD ....this is all according to stoner mate who watches Discovery Channel a bit too much! Also if you give seagulls alka-seltzer they explode! saw it on BLue Peter, therefore must be true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a related note, I heard that if you feed pigeons bicarbonate of soda they explode as they can't burp to release the gas in time... dunno if it's true though!
