If the universe is expanding then what's it expanding into?
Dunno - but I do know that my stomach is expanding into the Universe.
Things that have bothered you for a long time.

It's to do with metabolic inverse exponential theory.....

What, you mean things are really upside down as you see them in a mirror?

And how to explain Q's astonishing ability to foresee the scrapes Bond was shortly going to get into, so's to be in a position to give him the exact gizmo he would need to escape from that particular predicament?

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I have always been bothered by some thieving bugger always managing to nick the last biscuit before i can get to it.
Coz he's read the script, silly!

I mean left is left and right is right and up is up and down is down. You need two mirrors at 45° to flip left and right.

Yebbut if I move my left hand, the mirror version moves his right. But when I nod my head the mirror me doesn't tap his feet

It just puzzles me why they keep making such crap films and people keep going to see them.

The song by Everything But The Girl, from a zillion years ago, banging on about 'how the deserts miss the rain' when in fact too much rain would effectively bugger a desert. So in reality deserts don't miss the rain at all, they hate the bloody stuff.
So there - get your desert/ rainfall totals right '@Everything but the girl'.

Car adverts. I hate them with a passion. I really believe they are appealing to the people with the lowest IQ.
Always showing the car model being hawked on a glorious open country road (replete with golden sunset) when in reality you're much more likely to be stuck in traffic on a rainy Wednesday. Mindless insinuations that you will be more successful (there's an advert over here that has a woman suavely intoning "...recalibrating..." inferring that as you own their vehicle you will climb that corporate ladder).
The worst ones are the ones about safety features; they all show situations where mindless attractive people don't pay f*&king attention and the car saves them (interestingly the objects and people that get in their way are all less than attractive, hmm coincidence?). I'm all for safety features but can't help but wonder if they are implicitly saying "look! You can pay even less attention in our cars! It's made just for you, you twat".
Can't stand them. I could go on....... grrrrrrr.....

Well you see space and time is curved, so in effect it's taking a roundabout way to get from there to here. Which by the tiime it gets here, "there" may not be there any more. It may have moved or gone altogether.Infinity always got me. The only way I could rationalise it was by imagining ALL of space in a box....but then you instantly think ...whats on the outside of the box
On the subject of space...why is it you turn a light out...the light disappears (almost) instantly. So why can we see light from stars that died billions of years ago.
Yes I knows there' a logical explanation, but my head doesn' seem to want to absorb it
