An old chestnut just to test the waters.
In USA, you sit down
In UK you stand
In France you lie down
What is / was it you are experiencing?

queue for a hospital bed. After all the French will lie down for anybody after putting their hands up !

Some great answers, but alas no
So a big clue is back to Halifax inventions

How executions are performed?

Stand for the hangman in the UK, sit in the electric chair in USA, and lie down to die from eating too much cheese in France?

Davy - I've asked a few, so it's your turn.

 

[davy83]

Have i answered the dead good question? does the grave responsibility for another question fall to me now?

 

[drewf]

In that case....


What's a Fermi question, and why do we need them here?

 

[spkennyuk]

Its quite difficult to quantify that question !

But I'm keeping quiet on this one.

Maybe we should link this to the Good morning thread if there is a question that rolls over into the following day.
