What I would like to know is..
We apparate at or as close to the conjunction of two ley lines as we possibly can get.

Why can't we just travel along them?

Or right through them? I mean, they're lines of force yes, but they're still *lines*, right? So presumeably you could use the power of the leyline to alter leylines. Make them connect in new ( Read more... )

How to dispose of a rat:

1/ get box
2/ accio rat
3/ aim box at speeding rat
4/close box
5/ take box elsewhere
6/ open box
7/ release rat
8/ dispose of box in a sensible manner
9/ go back home

I think you're making things a little complicated.

Petrificus totalis tends to work rather well, and is less likely to give the rat concussion.

To Padma lunatictide June 27 2007, 22:15:51 UTC

Thank you for that entirely commonsensical suggestion. I am now off to take Mr. Ratty to see Alicia, but I think I'll tell her to give him a good bath first, because you don't want anything nasty around the baby, do you?

I will say one thing about accio though...

Works excellently for animal infestations. I don't mind giving THEM concussion. Need a vial with a rubber stopper?

Ohhh, this is a fun game! I've got one of those sorts of questions!

What happens to all the things that get evanescoed?

anonymous June 27 2007, 21:18:49 UTC

I'll have the rat, if no one else wants him.

Marcus is that you?

He's perfectly giant. I am trying to save him from the dog who wants to kill him. If I can get him into the box as per the above instructions I'll bring him to you.

anonymous June 27 2007, 21:36:12 UTC

It's not Marcus, it's Alicia. Rats are very intelligent creatures. And it'll keep stupid Lars away - he hates rats. Where did the dog come from anyway?

anonymous June 27 2007, 21:40:38 UTC

With a name like his, I always assumed he came from Sweden. But from the smell, I'd say a cesspit somewhere,

Actually it is generally accepted that the sky IS infinite.

Mathematically, the light received from stars as a function of distance from stars in a hypothetical fractal cosmos can be described via the following function of integration:

light=\int_{r_0}^\infty L(r) N(r)\,dr

Where:

r0 = the minimum distance from which light is received ≠ 0

r = the variable of distance

L(r) = average luminosity per star at r

N(r) = number of stars at r

The function of luminosity from a given distance L(r)N(r) determines whether the light received is finite or infinite. For any luminosity from a given distance L(r)N(r) proportional to ra, light is infinite for a \ge -1 but finite for a < − 1. So if L(r) is proportional to r − 2, then for light to be finite, N(r) must be proportional to rb, where b < 1.

For b = 1, the numbers of stars at a given radius is proportional to that radius. When integrated over radius, this implies that for b = 1, the total number of stars is proportional to r2. This implies that light is infinite.

You've shown that LIGHT is infinite. But I was speaking of the sky. Which is part and parcel of the atmosphere, when speaking of evaporation, yes?

Still, I like the equation.

Re: Locked as above badger_ernie June 27 2007, 21:28:49 UTC

Well if the sky is part and parcel of the atmosphere, then what is the void in which the stars exist called?

It's a good equation though isn't it. Not mine however, chap called Mandelbrot I believe.

That was me in case you couldnt guess!

You are full of questions today. You must be feeling better. You certainly looked better last night. I'm relieved glad.

I could do hypnotism.
"Look into my eyes..
Look into my eyessss..
You all need more chutney in your lives.."

All I need is a purple shawl and a ticky pocket watch.

Re: Locked to Luna a_lycoctonum June 28 2007, 00:22:19 UTC

Perhaps I spoke too soon...

What?

Locked to Remus lunatictide June 28 2007, 00:25:14 UTC

Juuuuuuust getting you to look into my eyes is all. Don't you like chutney?

I wonder what happens to all the lids of things that disappear. The lids disappear, I mean.
