  • Alpha Romeo MiTo 1.6 Diesel what is it like for commuting?

    I'm thinking of getting a MiTo 1.6 Diesel. I have looked at reviews on You Tube and seen that opinion varies quite a lot. It's got to be the 1.6 Diesel as the other model does not have the suspension upgrade as standard.

    Basically I'd like the oppinion of owners regarding what it's like as a day-to-day running car. How close can you get to the stated MPG ratings, what is it really like on roads etc.

  • Local pain block type?

    I remember seeing somewhere that a pain block similar in type to an epidural can not only be performed on the lower limb (below the knee) but also that the block can be maintained indefinitely using a medical micro-pump and something along the lines of lignocaine hydrochloride. As I have the usual zero effect with opiate pain medication associated with Asperger's I really need to know what this is called so I can refer the specialists to this as its the only way I will get any pain control.

  • Aircraft of WWII Pacific and European Theatres.?

    I have been interested in anything that flies since i first made a paper aeroplane.

    One question that has been bugging me for the last 30 years is this:

    Why were aircraft like the Lockheed P-38 Lightning not used in the European Theatre? It had a combat range of about 1000 miles and was seriously fast so could have been used for example to escort bombers before the Mustang came on line and could have been more effective than other fighters at V1 interception due to its higher speed compared to for example a spitfire.

    There is also the Vought Corsair, this aircraft was technically brilliant and had the optimal 45 degree gull wing for a prop driven aircraft.

    What am I missing? There has got to be some kind of flaw in my logic somewhere.

  • Is anyone else anoyed with idiots taking pot shots rather than trying to get a the truth?

    I have been answering questions in "religion and spirituality" for a while and both the "atheist" and "christian" questions fall way short on logic and brain power. Why?

  • Anyone know any good Academic books on the Legend of Robin Hood?

    I'm looking for a degree level examination of the evidence surrounding the incidences of people calling themselves "Robin Hood" in Scarborough, Lincoln and Nottingham magistrates courts (among others) over a period of a couple of centuries. It is particularly these court entries I'm interested in as they seem to pre-date the ballads and other associated tales.

  • Why is it evolutionists twist your words round when you give scientific evidence that refutes their theories?

    I have had an argument with a person that has said I am a creationist merely because I pointed out that the evolution argument does not work from a scientific point of view.

    Specifically the second law of thermodynamics states that everything will get more disordered and simple over time and for organic compounds to become biological life the opposite must happen.

    I am not a creationist I'm merely pointing out that the facts don't add up for either argument.

  • Physics - Properties and Mass?

    Since electrons have mass and charge etc, and photons have properties (eg wavelength) with no mass, is it possible to have mass with no physical properties? Would this account for what is sometimes called "dark matter"? Logically this could follow, but I am possibly missing something.

    Get as technical as you like as even though I dont have a degree in physics I have read and understood many books at that level.

    Serious answers preferably with some sort of bibliography/citations please.
