To be or not to be – that is the question, whether its nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.
In one of the Bard’s best thought of tragedies, our insistent hero, Hamlet, queries on two fronts about how life turns rotten.
“That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”
A thin man ran; makes a large stride, left planet, pins flag on moon!
100 THINGS EVERY MAN SHOULD KNOW (thank you David Colbert)
Knowledge, according to David McCandless, is power. So feel the puissance of Stuff’s guide to everything you should know. Mysteries are explained, Facts unearthed. Revelations revealed. Never again will a young child ask you a question you can’t answer. So go ahead, learn something, in this our third installment.
21. And why do you never get any sympathy when you have a hangover? Technically you have poisoned yourself. You deserve it.
22. What’s the best hangover cure? Eating lots of salty food (preferably in the form of a big, greasy breakfast) to maximise salt infusion.
23. What is ‘silly mid on’ in cricket? This is the fielder who stands about six feet in front of the batsman, leg side. He can catch a ball which just skips off the bat or pad but if the batsman tonks it, it’s going to smack him in the face. Hence the name.
24. Does the cold cause colds? Absolute rubbish! It’s a virus.
Warning – Hashers with queasy stomachs, go directly to No. 26.
25. What is snot, where does it come from and why the hell is it green? Mucus is made up of glycoprotein and salts and is secreted by special glands. When your mucus is green or yellow or that weird oyster grey, it’s got lots of bacteria in it and should be wiped quickly on the nearest curtain.
Nasolingus, incidentally, is the sexual act of eating someone else’s mucus.
26. Why can’t you use your mobile phone at a garage? Should it ring, tiny electrical charges in your phone could technically ignite petrol fumes or spilt oil.In a worst case scenario, petrol, oil and those barbecue logs and briquettes they always have lined up outside would fall on top of you just as your phone rang.
27. Why are dog years worth seven human years? Dogs have a very different metabolic rate. Their cells multiply and decay at different rates to humans. This process is different again in rabbits and elephants. Speaking generally, large dogs live longer than small dogs.
28. How do you make perfect roast potatoes? From the posh London restaurant Villandry – ‘Heat some olive oil to smoking point while you cut your potatoes in wedges. Fry them for 3 – 4 minutes and then spread them over a baking tray. Throw in a handful of cumin seeds and a touch of salt, cover in foil and stuff in the oven for an hour’.
29. Why does water go down the drain in different directions on each side of the equator? You can thank the Coriolis force caused by the Earth’s rotation.Its effect is zero at the Equator so water just goes straight down the plug hole and storms like cyclones or hurricanes cannot form.
30. Why do we have an appendix? It’s a throwback to when we were cute little monkeys swinging from tree to tree, eating shrubs and grass. It’s for digesting cellulose but it’s possible for food like doner kebab and pork scratchings to ‘fall’ into the appendix and sit there for months, rotting and causing infection. The best way of removing an appendix is with a spoon, apparently.
