Yes the website has been around for at least four or five years as far as I am aware... which does seem like a very long time

Have we got a video?

How many telegraph posts did Sherlock Holmes count?

extract from "Silver Blaze" - Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes

“We are going well,” said he, looking out of the window and glancing at his watch. “Our rate at present is fifty-three and a half miles an hour.”

“I have not observed the quarter-mile posts,” said I.

“Nor have I. But the telegraph posts upon this line are sixty yards apart, and the calculation is a simple one.”

Brain Teasers in Bethlehem? I nearly fell off my chair... this room may acquire respectability yet!

I woke up with a hard on this morning.......

.............Gee it felt good

Was it yours?

:D

Jizm comes, but does Come Jizm?

There is a saying that the job is not finished until the paperwork is done.

How many aspects of one's life could this be applicable to?

How many telegraph posts did Sherlock Holmes count?

extract from "Silver Blaze" - Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes

"We are going well," said he, looking out of the window and glancing at his watch. "Our rate at present is fifty-three and a half miles an hour."

"I have not observed the quarter-mile posts," said I.

"Nor have I. But the telegraph posts upon this line are sixty yards apart, and the calculation is a simple one."

The question is "how many telegraph posts did Holmes count?"

we know that 1 mile = 1760 yards

60 yards = 1 telegraph post

1760 yards = 1760/60 telegraph posts

= 29.33 telegraph posts

1760 yards per hour = 29.33 telegraph posts per hour, i.e.,

1 mile per hour = 29.33 telegraph posts per hour

53.5 miles per hour = 53.5 x 29.33 telegraph posts per hour

= 1569.155 telegraph posts per hour

= 1569.155/60 telegraph posts per minute

= 26.15 telegraph posts per minute (approximately)

= 27 telegraph posts per minute (approximately)

so, Holmes must have counted about 27 telegraph posts.

So at some time in the past, Sherlock just happened to set about ascertaining the distance apart of the posts on that line on the off chance that he was ever on said line and felt it would be nice to be able to determine his rate of progress in the event that there were no quarter mile posts. Riveting stuff!

He worked in the ship-yards too?

Nope, Homosexual. The rivet was pink, elementary my dear Thaddeus

Back off topic please, random posts.

So did Postman Pat get busy with the advent of ebay?

A4 paper costs 105B per ream.

So how many quires in a ream then ?

Without a dictionary - HTF am I supposed to know that?

If you buy the 275 in 1 handitool from Nakita tools for 77B, it is highly probable that you have wasted your money.

Did someone mention rivets?

How about semi-tubular rivets?

The semi-tubular rivet was invented and patented in 1876 by American engineer and manufacturer, Melon Bray. The intention was to create a fastener similar to the solid rivet that required much less insertion force and allowed longer rivets to be used without buckling of the rivet shank. A semi-tubular rivet, by definition, is a rivet with a hollow end whose hole depth does not exceed 112% of the rivet body diameter. (A tubular rivet is any rivet whose hole depth is greater than that.) Semi-tubular rivets are inserted in the same basic manner as solid rivets. The way the rivet is formed and its affect on the parts being assembled, however, are quite different. In semi-tubular impact riveting, a compressive axial load is applied to the end of the tubular rivet shank with a specially shaped form tool. This causes the rivet end to flare as it follows the shape of the tool. The rivet end continues to flare and roll until the end has rolled back against the surface of the workpiece. The parts being assembled are (typically) slightly compressed under this load. Most of the joint strength is compressive between the rivet head and rivet clinch (formed end). Rivet shank expansion, like that required for successful solid impact riveting, is minimal. Rivet insertion force is typically less than 40% of that required for a solid rivet of the same shank diameter & material.
