Questions you'd like answering, regardless of how trivial they may seem

I think I might've asked this before, so if I have my apologies. My question is about rain water and that fake grass many seem to buy now to avoid lawn maintenance. When it rains does the fake grass allow water to drain through it, or does the rain water remain on the fake grass till it dries/evaporates naturally? 🤔

It is porous so rain water soaks through and into the ground.
I am generalising based on the patch I have and obviously there are lots of different manufacturers with different qualities.

While there are different manufacturers and different types/qualities, I believe they are all designed to be porous.

They may be designed to be porous
but I suppose it depends on the person laying it whether or not the underlying surface is also porous
I have seen some that seem to be laid on concrete!

Indeed. That is why I said "designed to be".

I'm going to start a new thread - things that are so obvious, but you never really thought of until someone mentioned them today.

It's explained in the book @Chris S and @stephec.

He was afraid he might turn into an ape so shaved daily.

You do know that 'Tarzan' isn't the doppelganger of Drago , when he gets the 'change' come over him, he nips into a convient plastic Port- a + loo,vets out a yell he catches his ' undercarriage ' on the lump handle ,and emerges beating his chest with a ham hock.
It's just coincidence that a certain blues guitarist is always in the area.

My knowledge of Tarzan is limited to what I watched on a Saturday morning, and that was so long ago that I don't remember much of it.

Where did he get the razor from and how did he sharpen it

or am I over thinking this??

 

[grldtnr]

Lord Greystroke ,used his knife , or his butler did it .

Lord Greystroke

That sounds like one of those weird porn adaptations; like "Shaving Ryan's Privates" etc etc...

(it's Greystoke, BTW x)

He used a knife and a whet stone if memory serves.

Cut me a little slack here , I last watched a Tarzan film over 50 yrs ago, when Johnny Wisemuller had the yells and the loincloth.
Maybe Cheeta did his barbering

Could be right - I saw an article that said that Cheeta was an excellent barber and had won competitions
That's right - he was a chimp-ion
