Years ago I woke up in the night and saw the outline of a person sort of illuminated in the dark room where I was sleeping. I spoke to the figure and fell asleep again. The memory was very real and I do not believe I was asleep. I am really uncertain about all the issues and do not know if there is life after death etc - anybody know anything?

You know when someone has a plan to blow up gas barrels s/he shoots it and it explodes as they had planned.

But when they want to trigger an explosion later they shoot it same as before the flammable liquid comes spilling out and they later flick a match or cigarette but on the ground and sit back and watch it explodes where in real life like when it was tested in mythbusters it wouldnt work it

I know thats just how it works in Hollywood land its just entertainment not to be philisophically thought about or justified.

... but things like this leave me confused to how these situations would pan out in real life...like if I were to shoot a petrol truck right in the tank would it explode or begin to spill.

What other loop holes like this have you noticed?
Should they be remedied so they're hyper realistic like the Bourne Identity (where he does shoot a gas tank and it does explodes so I do trust the filmakers that this would really happen because its set in a realistic worl

My water service was interrupted the other morning, and I was thirsty, so I took a glass, filled it with ice cubes, and put it in the microwave. I set it for 1 min., it did nothing. I set it for 2 min., it did nothing. What I couldn't understand is that while you could put a cup of water or coffee and set it for 1 min. and have it be boiling hot (even the cup is too hot to touch), the glass of ice (including the glass) is still cold to the touch. I know that if I set it for 4-5 min., it'd melt the ice; I don't understand how it heated liquid so quickly, while not affecting the ice as quickly. I hope that this explains it better. Try it with a glass of ice and check your results.

I was told years ago that it was better to leave a neon light on over lunchtime than to switch it off since switching on and off reduced the tube's lifetime more than the cost of the electricity. Is this true?
