and found a turtle sporting a green
mohawk. It turned out to be

which happened to have a lot
of algae gnawing on its head.

I thought that agate on the left was a ham and cheese sandwich.

Paper actually burns at the temperature of 451 celsius
User avatar #24 to #5 - madeofhydrogen ONLINE (10/08/2015) [-]
Lead has a melting point of 163 c

You're telling me paper is more heat resistant than lead?

451 degrees Celsius is 843.8 degrees Fahrenheit. At 843 degrees, mostly everything in a room is far past or at its auto-ignition temperature.

If you opened a door to a normal residential room that had 451 degrees Celsius contained inside, it would flash over.

Paper's autoignition point is 218 celsius but yes it will also burn at 451 celsius.

fun fact, google didnt exist back then, which forced you to talk to people and ask annoying questions. like asking the person in charge of the whole ******* fire department what temperature books burn at. Those were dark times.
#18 to #11 - anon (10/08/2015) [-]
They left out the best part of that fact. I had read that the fire department actually burned a book to get that temperature for him.

He set in motion his own prophecy.

LOL, I was just about to mention that. Maybe it's just because I know about the extra backstory or maybe I am just too familiar with the book, but this fact didn't strike me as interesting in any way.

On the third one When Bradbury asked the fireman what temperature paper burns at, the fireman put him on hold, put a book in the oven and kept increasing the temperature until it burst into flames, got back on the phone with Bradbury and said "About 451 degrees"

the first rock reminds me of a sandwich...
User avatar #16 to #13 - megaton ONLINE (10/08/2015) [-]
with extra ham it seems.
#23 to #16 - sherlockbatman (10/08/2015) [-]
how do you know it's "extra" yet?
User avatar #25 to #23 - megaton ONLINE (10/08/2015) [-]
because they always skimp you on the meat. damn jews and their delis
User avatar #21 to #16 - chikibriki (10/08/2015) [-]
you call that extra ham?

never make me a sandwich
User avatar #14 to #13 - thelastamerican (10/08/2015) [-]
For a second I thought it WAS a sandwich. I just sat there thinking, "Mmm salted ham sandwich. Hell yeah." Then it turns out it was a rock.
User avatar #20 to #14 - kyojinn (10/08/2015) [-]
Jesus they're minerals.
User avatar #29 to #20 - thelastamerican (10/08/2015) [-]
It is a mineral, and I'm pretty sure that minerals are rocks. Or that rocks are made up of minerals. Can't recall the exact definition, but there you go. I'm STILL bummed it's not a sandwich.
#27 to #13 - vegasstoner (10/08/2015) [-]
yeah that's what i saw too.

Everytime I see a DYK comp I hear the words in Omni-chao's voice.

Judge Judy isn't real is it? Court sessions can't be filmed which is what court reporters are for.
But people swear the show is all real
User avatar #15 - krasisisback (10/08/2015) [-]

User avatar #8 - frenzyhero (10/07/2015) [-]
