After witnessing the christmas pudding being set alight this year I began to think about the fussiness of nature. As you may well know if the vol of the alcohol is under 50% it will not burn. I was wandering what would happen if it was exactly 50% or 49.999...%. Does one molecule make a difference? -I'm talking about the alcohol on the pudding, not the pudding.

P.S. I don't know how to use search engines very well. I always get rubbish when I search for anything. I know there are techniques for cutting out the rubbish. e.g. advanced search. Could someone please give me some tips?

You could Google for tips.

feeling silly, then type: elgoog

and then hit 'I'm feeling lucky'


Also type: how many furlongs in a light year

cool google conversion.


for dictionary, type: define (word)


And Google will tell you what it thinks of you:

Apparently you are God - I suspect that will trouble you deeply.

But you can console yourself with the fact that you are the 'Ultimate American Champion' and a [content deleted] to top it all off.


It could have been worse because apparently I am Gay & Available. That's going to come as a real shock to my wife.

Thanks for the links, Blacknad. They are great explanations of how the search Engine Google works. Sorry I had to amend your choice of words.
