WHY do they do it - are we that greedy/needy/gullible ? Do we live on hope to that degree ? However - if you reply to this post you may win something ... Re: URBAN MYTHS .... ? 210May 06, 2016 10:57 am I've always been told to make a lot of noise when working out the back of our place - in a bushy type area. This - supposedly - scares away the snakes. Now - I haven't seen a snake for a while - since houses were built either side of us - but the back is still open - to the golf course. We have a bushy area and a water lagoon/trap. So can snakes hear - or do they just feel vibration ? They do have an inner ear - but this doesn't really hear. So - when in the bush - if you thump the ground you may have more affect on a snake than just making noise. Re: URBAN MYTHS .... ? 211Jan 14, 2017 11:18 am My favourite thread ... Do dogs with big paws grow larger because they have big paws ? My new Goldie has big paws and everyone makes this comment. Yet I think he'll just be normal size. Re: URBAN MYTHS .... ? 212Jan 15, 2017 8:16 am Many myths around why a 2x4 is not 2x4 ... Has anyone actually bought some lumber and thought it was ? .

Re: URBAN MYTHS .... ? 218Feb 03, 2017 5:22 pm I know we've all heard the one about the fibre glass pool "popping" out of the ground - a friend of a friend ... But - I heard an adaptation of it today - an underground water tank that "popped" out of the ground because it had been very dry and it was almost empty. I'm currently chasing it up - ie who the friend of a friend was - where they live etc etc. Probably as crazy as the pool myth ! Re: URBAN MYTHS .... ? 220Feb 05, 2017 10:39 am Agree - water "could" do it - if it was empty. And the water surrounded it. Clearly it would float if closed and in sufficient water. As a boat floats. Presumably if it was surrounded by water there would be water in it too ? |
