the Nobel Peace Prize medal depicts 3 naked men with their hands on each others shoulders...

And the inscription reads:

Pro pace et fraternitate gentium

translated "For the peace and brotherhood of men".

Hey Neb... So I....

Ah hem....

Nebula... Look at your comment, now back to mine. Now back at your comment. Now back to mine. Sadly it isn't mine, but if you stopped trolling and started posting legitimate comments it could look like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You're scrolling through comments, writing the comment your comment could look like. What did you post? Back at mine. It's a reply saying something you want to hear. Look again. The reply is now diamonds. Anything is possible when you think before you post.

You stole that from YouTube, you bastard.

JimmyB76 · « **Reply #1989 on:** December 23, 2010, 02:29:05 PM »

it is a fact, isnt it?
in fact (lol no pun intended

) all facts posted here are ones stolen from someone else - we didnt do extensive research on our own before posting a fact; someone else did at some time and shared their findings with the world, and we found them and hence this thread

Page 100 of the Somewhat Useful Facts Thread on BC-Central contains 16.6666% useful facts. The rest is spam.

Once I post this, that percentage will fall to 15.38%.

the north magnetic pole is shifting at a rate of 40 miles per year...

Bren · « **Reply #1996 on:** January 09, 2011, 07:06:23 PM »

In a circle? Cause if it was a straight line, in 1910, it'd have been in northern Norway or somewhere :eek

Lionus · « **Reply #1997 on:** January 09, 2011, 07:31:04 PM »

geological and magnetic poles aren't same thing. earth wobbles.. and so does the magnetic pole. if I recall, it caused some US airfield to redo some signs of their air strips.

Most airports around the world have probably had to rename at least 1 runway at some point. I'd be surprised if it didnt happen at least once a year at some airports.
