When has Science surprised you?

TeddyTedson

I've just seen an add for a new ice cream that grows back after you take a bite out of it. I don't know how they do and I don't care. But sometimes you just have to give them the nod. I never thought we be seeing things like this in my lifetime but there you go.

I guess flying was another one beck in the day that really shocked people. Humans had dreamed of flying since the beginning of time it seems.

Also mobile phones too. The idea of being able to talk to someone in the middle of nowhere, say Carlow for example, all without a wire....think about it, it's just amazing.


How have these magic scientists amazed other boardies?

My Ipod. Genius.

Science is a load of ned! I went and bought one of those Magnums and it didn't grow back. That finished me with science.:mad:

Eh it doesn't really grow back...

Anita Blow

You realise that the magnum doesn't actually grow back?

TeddyTedson

Eh yea they do grow back, I've seen it on the TV just a few minutes ago.
They showed it several times on their marketing campaign growing back, you can't just lie on these things you know.

Do you know I had this discussion with my Ma just the other night, I think the Magnum company will be getting a lot of complaints when people's ice creams don't respawn after they've eaten them

L Casei Imunitas..

Couldn't imagine life without it tbh.

Science thread debates Magnum false advertising, this is good AH back again.

Won't last

Science always suprises me. Especially for the way it roundly ignores the 'i before e except after c' rule

The add indicates that the taste last's longer due to the kind of coco used. It is subtle in the add but Sky + it and you will catch it.


(I know I am at it now )

Where is this special Magnum shop? I'd love a Magnum double but they stopped selling them here :mad:

I remember when my commordor 64 talked that weird electronic voice, I was utterly amazed, it was true science fiction stuff.

Now computers wont shut up.

It only grows back if you are a hot girlie. Are you a hot girlie Teddy?

They don't strike me as the kinda girls that each much icecream...

The King of Moo

I'm regularly amazed that I can transfer files from my phone to my netbook instantly, without them touching, and even if I put my hand between them.

I know that there's proper hard scientific fact behind that, but it still seems incredible to me.

Like the fact that the internet isn't a physical place.

I remember my Da been utterly baffled as to how they could get a TV show on a tape the size of a small book.

How fast that has and is moving.

This just came into my head Moo, but if someone ever creates a clone of you on here (that's how you know you've made it) they'd better call it the "King of Poo" :D

Yeah this baffles me too

The mobile phone, great invention, especially the off button.

Speaking of science...

I had root canal treatment today and after I left the evil bastard's surgery I was crossing the road and I thought to myself 'thank science for traffic lights or I could be knocked down'.

A timeless combination.

The Big Bang Theory, thought it'd be pure sh*te, ended up being one of my favourite TV shows

Hopefully they'd be one of those evil clones you always hear about to make me look better by comparison.

Anyhow, you'll notice that ad is completely sexist! :mad:

At 0.20 there's a chick CHAIRING a meeting while all her subordinates are men! :eek:

As if! :mad::pac::cool:

Women seem to like Lynx and now Magnum lollies
