For those who truly want an interesting forum thread I ask the following:- Is carbon dating a useful and accurate tool? Much of the anti evolution arguments include casting aspersions on the findings of carbon dating; what do you think and do you give a flying fuck? :bounce:
errrr dare we ask........... WTF is carbon dating, is this some kind of new swinging terminology that we've missed out on and if so may we have some? :lol2::lol2::lol2: :bounce:
This is Olivia absolutely ROTF completely PMSL...rotflmao:rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao:

Radiocarbon dating is a radiometric dating method that uses the naturally occurring radioisotope carbon-14 (14C) to determine the age of carbonaceous materials up to about 60,000 years.[1] Raw, i.e. uncalibrated, radiocarbon ages are usually reported in radiocarbon years "Before Present" (BP), "Present" being defined as AD 1950. Such raw ages can be calibrated to give calendar dates. One of the most frequent uses of radiocarbon dating is to estimate the age of organic remains from archaeological sites. When plants fix atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) into organic material during photosynthesis they incorporate a quantity of 14C that approximately matches the level of this isotope in the atmosphere (a small difference occurs because of isotope fractionation, but this is corrected after laboratory analysis). After plants die or they are consumed by other organisms (for example, by humans or other animals) the 14C fraction of this organic material declines at a fixed exponential rate due to the radioactive decay of 14Cparing the remaining 14C fraction of a sample to that expected from atmospheric 14C allows the age of the sample to be estimated. The technique of radiocarbon dating was developed by Willard Libby and his colleagues at the University of Chicago in 1949.[2] Libby estimated that the steady state radioactivity concentration of exchangeable carbon-14 would be about 14 disintegrations per minute (dpm) per gram. In 1960, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry for this work. He first demonstrated the accuracy of radiocarbon dating by accurately measuring the age of wood from an ancient Egyptian royal barge whose age was known from historical documents.
Fuck me! :bounce:
Erm, that was meant as a statement of amazement, not a request. Mrs MWM has to make those for me! LOL! :bounce:
Olivia, I want you to marry me and have my babies. Sorry, I'm a history graduate and general geek. I'm in love. There's nothing to be done about it.
I already did hun....in the other intellectual post somewhere on this site......so many of em I cant think where, but who gives a flying fuck:bounce:
Well all I have to say is...... Yeah but no but yeah but no but..... Computer says... Nnnnoooooo!!!
Well fuck a flying duck :angel:
Love the new pics by the way Mrs Blondes :thrilled::bounce::bounce::bounce:

[quote user=mwm69]Fuck me! :bounce:[/quote] yeah ok Paul :bounce::bounce::bounce:
[quote user=serens40]Well fuck a flying duck :angel:[/quote] Well good old faithful wikipedia didn't have flying ducks but they do have... Flying Steamer Duck | is very similar to the other three steamer ducks. It is the only steamer duck which can fly, and the only one to occur on inland fresh waters.

:laughabove::laughabove::laughabove:
paul let's discuss this at the social..... drinkies
oh forget it, it's nothing to do with sex or swinging and we're not allowed to do anything else but shag eachother and be sensible on here according to some :doh:
Is it actually possible to fuck a duck, never mind one in flight??
probably depends how big the duck is blonde....
[quote user=blondecouple]Is it actually possible to fuck a duck, never mind one in flight??[/quote] Yes it is blondes according to wikipedia.... Avisodomy is the act of a human engaging in sexual activity that involves a bird. Due to the size difference between the species, any act involving penetration is usually fatal to the bird. Some descriptions of this act feature the perpetrator breaking the bird's neck as the moment of orgasm approaches.
[quote user=blondecouple]Is it actually possible to fuck a duck, never mind one in flight??[/quote] didn't someone want their duck broken for them a while back? lol
lol Cey, yeah they did Ain't wikipedia brilliant !! lol
I am learning a lot from wikipedia this evening... there you go I just found an educational use for sp...lol
[quote user=ceylon1][quote user=mwm69]Fuck me! :bounce:[/quote] yeah ok Paul :bounce::bounce::bounce:[/quote] ..................can i come too Vicky ??......and Oliviak wants to share sexy husbands too..the more the merrier she said:bounce::giggle::bounce::giggle::bounce::giggle:
[quote user=oliviak]I am learning a lot from wikipedia this evening... there you go I just found an educational use for sp...lol[/quote] would true approve though Olivia? :giggle::giggle::giggle:
............we can have a fun evening and read wikepedia :evil2:
I dunno Ceylon... he doesn't seem to approve of people having fun and at parties you generally have fun, so no, I don't think he would approve. Do you think the headmaster would put us on detention if we were to have a party????? Oh but you were talking about SP having an educational edge... well I dunno if he would approve. But seeing as he is the SP headmaster he might...
