Any question answered...

Bong?

(even if it's not meant to be either a sex toy or bong, almost anything can be used as both...)

Ha. It's the stirrer to a smoothie maker, the consumer one that Kenwood(?) knocked out a few years ago. Something like this ... http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?q=smoothie+maker&hl=en&safe=off&client=safari&rls=en&prmd=imvns&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bpcl=37189454&biw=1280&bih=926&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=14389198715166655899&sa=X&ei=2UGZUPbKL4PU0QXvuYCADQ&ved=0CGQQ8wIwADgK#ps-sellers

Scarily I've had this conversation before.

I've got a couple of spider plants in my room that a friend of my girlfriend's was looking after over summer, and very nearly killed.

They're starting to look healthy again, but seem to have been colonised by a load of tiny black flies. Is there any way of getting rid of them, without introducing another species to my bedroom, and without harming the plants or the air quality in my room?

Can't you use it for all three?

^^ seriously?

Yes, is that such a strange question?

Spray on a very dilute solution of washing up liquid.

I googled and I wish I hadn't! Their larvae look like maggots! In your soil!

get some hungry spiders.

Their larvae look like maggots!

This is somewhat unsurprising given that maggots are fly larvae. :)

Plant some hungry spiders on the spider plants.

Fixed.

"Both"? I'd accept "either", but "both" seems to asking for trouble. Unless you mean at different times, and after thorough cleaning.

Why would you clean it after? That would only ruin the taste of it.

For a charger something like this

with hybrio batteries

Just bought one of these to give to my considerably older brother as a birthday present. Do you think an adult male human would like to receive such a thing, or would they be bemused and mention it [regardless of the particular quality of the charger itself] whenever they get asked *'what's the worst present you've ever received?' *? I heard that males like to receive gadgets, but is this no better than giving someone a steam iron? I have no reason to believe that he uses a particularly large amount of batteries.

Sex toy?

he uses a particularly large amount of batteries.

Still on the same subject?

I can almost hear the clanging, clunking and clinking as forumengers rummage through kitchen cupboards and tool boxes up and down the land...

Some of us don't need to rummage...

I once gave my older brother a 12 pack of Duracell AAs for xmas with a note which said "present not included".

Still on the same subject?

No.

Heh, good one.

I'm leaning towards keeping it for myself and giving him an amazon voucher.

I have three questions. They have all been bugging me for the last two days.

Why is the Democrat/Republican split by state so overwhelmingly geographical, with the exception of two anomalies, all of the central states are red and without exception all of the coastal states are blue. Why?

In the movie Skyfall, why did James Bond ditches the company car (he said because it has a tracker in it and they could be followed) to get in his funky old personal car when as part of his plan he then had to get Ben Wishaw to create a false trail so that the baddie could follow him to his chosen location for a showdown.

In the movie Skyfall, Skyfall is the name of James Bond's parnets' house and his chosen location for a showdown. Why is it called Skyfall? Skyfall is stupid name for a house. Did "Armageddon" not fit on the buzzer? Skyfall. Really?

It's pronounced "skiffle"
