Time flies like an arrow.
Fruit flies like a banana.

Do we know how many people have three legs?

From a TV mockumentary a while back, "Most people have at least one foot bigger than the other."

True statement.
Average number of legs = 1.9997425 (give or take)
Most people have 2 which is > 1.9997425.

Does the air rotate in inflated tire while it spin?

kladner · 2013-05-23, 00:41

Drag on the inner surfaces of the tire would probably get the air moving. We might also wonder if the air right at the outer part of the inflated cavity is denser than that in by the wheel.

People who think they know everything are very annoying to those of us who do.

Having watched the most recent episode of Chicago Fire last night prompts me to wonder, do they call them "paramedics" because there are always two of them in the ambulance?

Have you noticed that the flat portion of a tire always locates at the bottom? That must mean it's heavier with less air...

No, No, No! It just gets stuck there because it's flat.

I bring you 'pneumerology': the search for mystical meanings in tyre numbers.
