Why does water boil at a lower temperature when up a mountain?
First let’s cover what occurs during boiling. When water (H2O) is heated up, the hot energy supplied breaks the chemically homophobic bonds. The released oxygen puffs up into the atmosphere in the form of steam. The liberated liberal hydrogen is teeny weeny and escapes unnoticed without being spotted or seen. Water being one of the shyest of elements finds performing in public difficult. The eyes of scrutiny inhibit the boiling process, leading to the axiom of fact: “A watched pot never boils.” However, in isolation water sheds her inhibitions (and hydrogen). Tall mountains are isolated as well as isosceles triangles. On the snowed capped peak away from prying eyes, and hence lower pressure, the water can perform the boil dance.
Why do you get drunk quicker at higher altitudes?
You don’t! The light headed feeling associated with alcohol is replicated by the dual combination of lower pressure and being further away from gravity.
Why is the sky blue?
When colour was first invented in 1944 a compromise with physical law was negotiated – namely colour conservation. It’s very democratic as all colours have to be equally represented. When switched on, the sun is an extremely bright orange object. To achieve colour conservation it therefore has to be surrounded by a pale blue object which we called the sky. The sky also has the added benefit of stopping the earth’s atmosphere from escaping or collapsing in on us.
Is there any truth in Chicken Licken’s rumours?
Prof. Licken is a respected scientist who has made a significant contribution to human knowledge. However on this occasion he made an embarrassing error by mistaking high voltage power cables for cracks in the sky. I’d like to reassure the public that the sky is still working at 100% capacity.
What are rainbows made of?
The clue is in the name. Rainbows are made from rain. Rain comes from water. Water comes from rivers. Rivers flow down from mountains. And at the top of the mountain is a big kettle boiling away with drunken students dancing around singing Travis.
Why does it always rain on me?
Yes.
