Why does a round pizza come in a square box? Why is it that when we are humming and then we plug our nose, our humming stops? When you see the weather report and it says "partly cloudy" and then the next day it says "partly sunny"; what’s the difference? Why is an alarm clock going "off" when it actually turns on? Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp which no decent human being would eat? If the professor on Giligan's Island can make a radio out of coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat? more to come ------------- <1 meg sig = bad> |

Depends on what you mean by "proven fact," but I do believe that Dr. Hawking would consider E=MC2 pretty much a fact, unless you are in truly extreme circumstances, in which the laws of Einsteinian physics break down. But I think we can safely say that E=MC2 is not just a theory. |

why do hot dog weenies come in packs of ten when hot dog buns come in packs of eight? why is lunch meat round when sandwich bread is square? if nothing sticks to teflon then how does teflon stick to the pan? why is it that when we send something by ship it's called cargo and when we send something by car it's called a shipment? on a more personal note: which way is it more proper to hang a roll of toilet paper, with the loose end on the near side of the roll or the far side of the roll? ------------- NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil. |

Far side, Makes an infinate amount more sense to have it near the wall then to have it away from it. ------------- |
Posted By: reifidom
Date Posted: 30 September 2004 at 9:46am
No way. It's much nicer to have it hanging on the roll itself than dangling limply against the wall. Besides, if it's on the close side, you can find the edge easily, instead of fumbling around behind the roll while trying not to make a mess of yourself. ------------- 
|
Posted By: *Stealth*
Date Posted: 30 September 2004 at 9:52am
I beg to differ, Though the edge being easier to find statement of yours is correct. If you have it hang near the wall, It is much easier to unroll, because you can put it against the wall and pull down, providing the much needed friction to unroll a dynamic peice of toilet paper. It happens all to often that when I go to grab a piece of toilet paper that is not near the wall the wind from my hand simply blows it away, and when I do get it, It either slips away, or breaks. A issue that can only be resolved by having the roll placed close to the wall, By pushing the toilet paper to the wall and pulling down, You are stretching the pressure over a broader piece of toilet paper, thus relieving the gripped piece and preventing breakage. As I said before, Far side makes and infinate amount more sense. ------------- |

But you are the master of potty science. :) I prefer the over the top method because it is more aestheticaly pleasing. It is more welcoming and inviting to the user. It is laying the paper in front of itself, as if presenting it instead of hiding it away in the back. The problem of friction is a matter of Paper/Roll/Holder friction ratios. We've all seen rolls that are so resistant that they tear the paper before any reasonable amount can be had, and we've all given a tug meant to tear a nice amount of paper and been treated instead to a mass unwinding of paper, sometimes reaching the very floor. And that is an entirely seperate issue, to use that floor paper or not. It was on the floor, but then again, look where it's about to go if you use it. Again, relativism. I believe that the one true measure of a person's preference is technique. Wad, roll up around the fingers, single square dab, and others I'm sure, all affect the way in which we get the paper from the roll. Some naturally choose to use two hands, which largely negates any perceived negative side of the over the top method. Others tug and yank to make a wad, and find that the holder of the roll itself can make a good surface to intitiate the tear. I find that with the paper I use and the roll holder in my bathroom, that an over the top set up, combined with a nice tug and yank on the paper gives me the paper I need and then leaves a near perfect amount hanging there, ready for the next use. -------------

Hmmm, I do agree that the way in which we USE the toilet paper is the decideing factor in how we place the toilet paper, But now that both sides have made their cases. We must consider the third, and may I say most decisive option. This is when we place the edge ON the roll, with no slack, as if to put in on neutral grounds. This is a very complex matter when the edge is placed on neutral grounds. Unrolling it to the back may or may not be proper, the same geos with rolling it to the front. It all depends in the culture of your given location. I think we both can agree that when the crease is on top of the roll it appears most at home, and rather inviteing. However the reprocutions of the crease being ontop can be great, Such as going to unroll it, and penitrating the first 1-15 layers of it with your finger tips, Thus leaving gaping holes in which "substances" may leak out onto the user, which of corse is undesired. Since you have brought up the method of tearing so unexpectidly, I will have to delay further statement upon the matter until I have sufficient data on tearing to rebutt you. ------------- |

You approach the situation more gently. You lay your fingers across the roll, and give it a little spin. Picking up the edge itself is inviting trouble. -------------

I'm not often angry while on the toilet, but I can see there are times when one can be a big hurry. If the roll is not on the holder, then you're obviously going to have to two-hand it or try the rare, one-handed unwind and yank. Tricky to pull off without sending the roll flying. Make sure you know the required yank velocity for the paper you're using. Nothing is more embarrassing than losing the roll out of effective reach. Two-handing it is recommended. It allows for the most control and a good tear. You might also consider putting it on the holder. -------------

I can't put it on the holder, I'm too lazy. I find that putting the roll in your left hand with your thumb inside the tube, proceed to pulleth thine paper off the roll with the right hand is the best method. ------------- NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil. |

Round pizza comes in a square box becuase if the box were round it wouldn't be a box. When you are humming and you plug you're nose you stop humming becuase there is no way for air to get out. The difference between partly cloudy and partly sunny is that when it's partly sunny there are more clouds in the air then when it's partly cloudy, vice versa. The alarm clock going "off" is a figure of speech. I like burnt toast. It's a tv show who the hell is supposed to know other then the creators. That was the smart @ss inside of me sorry if I offended anyone. |
