Okies, Quite simple, Just like in VGT, FFT and MT, One person asks a question, person who gets it right gets to post a question, No points TheSmile.gif

Try to keep this away from stuff that could fit in other trivia threads(Final fantasy, Movie or Video games), Only if you really cant think of any other random trivia stuff ya know bluetongue.gif

Lolz, I made this up so other people can ask some trivia questions, Coz im sure some of you know some weird facts ^_^

A question to get this moving...

Why does a whip 'crack'? What happens for it to make that sound?

it is because the whip is moving so fast forward, and then when you jerk it back the leather straps at the end hit each other.
...
right?
This was totally out-dated.
Now it's updated.
I think?
Yeah.

....
Nice.

Alot of people think that its because the whip hits itself, that aint true bluetongue.gif

Its simply that the tip of the whip actually travels faster than the speed of sound for a split second, and its a sonic boom that makes the crack. biglaugh.gif

Sparks can have the next question bluetongue.gif

Actually, it's because as the light goes through the water it's bent/scattered. Each color in the spectrum is scattered differently, most of them quite quickly, except for blue, which is then the color we see.
