What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away? COAL>>>>
There are 20 people in an empty, square room. Each person has full sight of the entire room and everyone in it without turning his head or body, or moving in any way (other than the eyes). Where can you place an apple so that all but one person can see it? PLACE THE APPLE ON ONE PERSONS HEAD........

Here's one for yall, A boy, who was waiting in front of a store, had a six foot fishing pole and he was waiting for the city bus to take him home. The bus pulled up and the boy went to go get on. The driver said that the pole was to long and the longest maximum anything was four feet. So the boy said ok, I will be right back. He went into the store and bought something. A few minutes later, the boy got on the bus and everything was fine. What did the boy buy?

Anyone remember the Plane on a conveyor belt question?
Would it take off?
the many pages on many forums w/ that question..I would figure w/ the 6ft fishing pole that it would come into two pieces like most fishing poles now days, so either he bought a knife and cut it in half, or a string to bend it & tie it up to stay bent so it was within the correct length. I'm sure both are wrong..

Don't start with me on this one, either. Ask Faber.
EDIT: I'll make it quick and painless.
Unless there is sufficient windspeed to lift the aircraft off the ground, it will not leave the pavement. Wheel speed has nothing to do with it. As an aircraft mechanic, they teach you that the landing gear is there for the sole purpose of supporting the aircraft as it is on the ground, and during take off and landing.
However.
An airplane can run it's engines at full throttle and go nowhere. Every plane I have witnessed take off at Grand Forks AFB, RAF Mildenhall and Al Udeid AB will always power their engines to the max, and apply full brakes. When the brakes release, the plane moves forward with a pretty decent amount of force. Riding on a civilian passenger jet won't show that because of the seat cushions. Riding in a KC-135 will show you that, because you sit on the side of the jet, and it throws you back like a subway train would, but with more force.
If the wheels are spinning, and the fuselage is not moving, no lift will take place. There has to be airspeed working against the leading edge of the wing for the bernouilli effect to work. If it's sitting on a conveyor belt, it will not move. Period.
