My dad used to work in a bowling alley and people would call him up and ask him if he had 16lb balls.

Did he answer, "yes just call me Buster..."

Spot the obscure British joke :D

What a cold comment to make.  I was always taught that the only stupid question is the one that wasn't asked.  

I feel like the stupid questions are the one's you know the answer to already but didn't slow down enough to realize you already knew because you were to busy talking.

Blue-Ray is capable of doing 40mbs of video and 8mbs of audio. This translates to 6,291,456 bytes per second.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc#Bit_rate

 

1.44 meg floppies can store 1,474,560 bytes.

 

It's actually about 0.23 seconds by my calculations. Crazy. I remember playing Falcon 3.0 which was 5 floppy disks...

 

 

True enough but there is a difference between max data rate and real world averages.  Looking at the actually bitrates of popular movies they seem to average about 30mbs.  The actual amount I came up with was .38 seconds @ 30mbs.  SO BLUF: Not a lot and then again you could only store the video on the disk as they had a transfer rate of like 500Kb/s lol

The stupidest thing I ever did at a Lego store was buy three sets and pay 7% sales tax only later to realize that they don't have a brick and mortar store in my home state so I could have gotten the same three sets online tax freeeeeeeee
