Here's the idea: Someone asks a question and anyone can attempt to answer it. Once the correct answer is given, anyone can ask a new question. I'll start it off.
How many grey wolf subspecies that live today?

Since I'm a poor college student can my left testicle substitute for the $2000.00?

Alright, what is a briquet?

by **Rodimus_Lantern** » Thu Nov 29, 2007 6:31 pm

Oh Oh I know!!!

Let me consult my encyclopedia like brain and...

Viola!!!

A briquette (or briquet) is a block of flammable matter which is used as fuel to start and maintain a fire. Common types of briquettes are charcoal briquettes and biomass briquettes.
Contents

Constituents of charcoal briquettes

Charcoal briquettes sold commercially for cooking food can include:

* Wood charcoal (fuel),
* mineral char (fuel),
* mineral carbon (fuel),
* Limestone (ash colorant),
* Starch (binder),
* Borax (release agent),
* Sodium nitrate (accelerant),
* Sawdust.

Some briquettes are compressed and dried brown coal extruded into hard blocks. This is a common technique for low rank coals. They are typically dried to 12-18% moisture, and are primarily used in household and industry.

In Ireland, peat briquettes are a common type of solid fuel after coal. Although often used as the sole fuel for a fire, they are also used to begin a coal fire quickly without hassle. A fire burning peat briquettes is, similarly to a turf fire, slow burning. Peat briquettes can be used as an acceptable substitute for charcoal in barbecues for this reason.

Biomass briquettes are made from agricultural waste and are a replacement for fossil fuels such as oil or coal, and can be used to heat boilers in manufacturing plants, and also have applications in developing countries. Biomass briquettes are a renewable source of energy and help reduce the carbon content in the atmosphere.

A number of companies in India have switched from furnace oil to biomass briquettes to save costs on boiler fuels. The use of biomass briquettes is predominant in the southern parts of India, where coal and furnace oil are being replaced by biomass briquettes. A number of units in Maharashtra(India) are also using biomass briquettes as boiler fuel. Use of biomass briquettes can earn Carbon Credits for reducing emissions in the atmosphere. Lanxess India and a few other large companies are supposedly using biomass briquettes for earning Carbon Credits by switching their boiler fuel. Biomass briquettes also provide more calorific value/kg and save around 30-40 percent of boiler fuel costs.

Another definition of briquette is a solid block designed for controlled release of active ingredients of plant protection products.

Rodimus_Lantern,
Briquet can also mean a sword. It is usually carried by Napoleon's infantrymen.

Napoleon is still alive? His men are carrying swords?

Liverpool?

On Sunday, 2 July, France was crowned European champions for the 2nd time after beating Italy 2-1 in the Final in Rotterdam, Holland. Marco Delvecchio scored first for Italy in the 55th minute while Sylvain Wiltord scored a last-minute equalizer for France in the 90th minute. David Trézéguet led France to victory when he scored the Golden Goal in the 103rd minute.

LOL! Good one.

Seriously though, anything can be googled. The only answers that will be fully respected are those with comedic value.

This thread is about as useful as a helicopter with an ejector seat. (Yeah, a craft that doesn't have exploding bolts holding the blades on.)

How wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Round your answer up to 2 decimal places and please show your working.

Which country uses the name Helvetia on its postage stamps?

by **Nightracer GT** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 7:54 am

Alien Quicksilver said it best. Anything can be googled. It's just not fun. Yeah I suppose it's about research, and learning new things, but all anyone is really doing is looking up something they probably don't want to know. At least make it grounded in something cool. Postage stamps don't really count (we all obsess over toys here).

But I'll bite.

Switzerland uses Helvetia on the postage stamps. I googled it. Not very fun, and it's not that interesting. That's why people are dissing this topic.

Here's mine:

What is trength? Yeah google it, but it's f'ing cool what it is, so hopefully someone will thank me.

by **Klose25** » Sun Dec 09, 2007 8:35 pm

I think I know the answer, Dark Zarak. A trength is a pile of balanced stones that stand on the water. Such stones can be found in Canada, though.

Maybe it is, but that's not what I mean at all. Show me a link to why you think that's your answer.

I'll give you a hint if you want to google it. (At least the last time I checked) my intended answer didn't come up on page 1 of the search. Everything else was a misspelling of strength and I don't think I saw yours at all.

I searched for floating stones, and floating stone pile, and didn't see anything about what you're describing, but I could have missed it. You must have gotten the name wrong.

A pile of balanced stones standing on the water is pretty cool though.
