Martin, 1) Bingo. 2)You can't get more basic than a lever, But the screw is derived from the other basic machine.

Still wrong on both, I'm afraid. Just because the Kilo's commonly referred to as a unit of weight, doesn't actually mean it is a unit of weight. It's a common misconception, Like how everyone refers to balance scales as a machine for measuring weight, even in the face of the contrary (which...

Martin, Good job on the first one, but: 2 - The killogram is not a unit of weight 3 - Although they are called basic machines, they are made up of a mob of smaller machines & seem rather complex. When I say basic, I mean it literately.

The judge who sentanced me, on a spit. And the jury for dessert.

Okay, let's see here. Which family of quadruped, does not have a gall-bladder? What is the metric unit of weight? How many different types of basic machines are there?

Daa daa daa-da. HEY! da-da da-da.

I'd like to see Gremlins get the "Christmas movie" title it surly deserves.

Here are some possible things that could be the cause the problem. You're not yelling at it loud enough. You're using the wrong kind of hammer. Your threats towards it are not convincing enough. You're using the right kind of hammer, but it's too small. You don't have enough...

About 70% through Terry Pratchett's Monstrous Regiment.

Commodore 64. Best system ever. Except for, maybe, the Amiga 500, with Pagesetter, the real windows.

I call hundreds-and-thousands "fairy s*#t", which is why I'm no longer a Mr Whippy.

You forgot to add the christian bible stories. Mostly a jumble of poorly translated & awfully dull writings, but it's not without its' interesting points, especially in Revelations.

I gots this old book, made of Six 24-carat gold pages fastened together. The pages are covered with some kind of jibberish & pictures of a guy on a horse, a mermaid, a lyre and some mean lookin' guys with weapons. Some kind of saga, I guess. Had it looked at by couple of experts and they...

When I aquire books (or anything for that matter) that are not/no longer to my liking, I'll just give them to anyone who asks to borrow them. Making a persons day is worth far more than the money made from selling a book.

All my life, I've eaten the best food for next to nothing, because whenever I discover a really good meal, I'll find out how to make it myself, and from there, I'll be able to make small improvements here & there, like extra cheese, a few coffee beans or a small slab of heavily reduced turkey...

I reckon that if you used that set in a diner, you, or at least your cleaning staff, would curse the revolting habbits of humans at the end of every day. But at least kids'd think twice before sticking chewing gum under the table.

Allow the virus to take on it's full effect, then try to relax while your familly pampers you back to health. Then get a medical certificate to wave under your bosses nose when they ask where you've been for the past week.
