You can "hack" a lot of lifts. If you want to go straight to your floor without the lift stopping at others on the way, press and hold the Close Door button and then press the button for your floor. The feature was built into lifts so paramedics rushing to someones help in an apartment building could get to the ground floor without the lift being stopped.

The number of electrons in the universe is estimated to be 10 to the power of 79.
This is less than the estimated number of possible unique games of chess which is 10 to the power of 120.
This makes chess a more complex mathematical entity than the universe

In order to recover all Fourier components of a periodic waveform, it is necessary to use a sampling rate of at least twice the highest waveform frequency. The Nyquist frequency, also called the Nyquist limit, is the highest frequency that can be coded at a given sampling rate in order to be able to fully reconstruct the signal.
If you can avoid "getting wood" for 20 - 25 days, it is likely that your next erection will be permanent. This is because the muscles that contract to allow the blood contra-flow out of your penis, back into the body, tend to atrophy very quickly. In urology, this is known as Viagralisation.

If you stretch your arms out wide, the distance from finger tip to finger tip is generally the same as your height.
Forget it, most people know that
