Question:

Do you think health and safety regulations are sensible or silly?

Everyday there seems to be more and more health and safety rules.Primary schools for children ages 4 - 11 in UK are now making children wear goggles if they want to play conkers.We have been known to play conkers for hundreds and hundreds of years. There will always be accidents with conkers but, was it really a big deal?Christmas crackers have now been classed as fireworks and some restaurants that serve Dinner on Christmas day do not allow Christmas crackers.Some schools have banned glitter on greetings cards because a child may swallow the glitter.Is this just becoming out of hand?

Answer:

They are protected (such as the pyramids) because their structures have no metal surfaces. Electricity is commonly attracted to metallic objects, though not all the time. If struck by lighting the buildings would just have a burn point were, as in the pyramids, would just turn to a glass spot from the extreme heat. And why have they been able to stand the trials of time? First of all it was lots of man hours and using an ingenious design. When a structure needs to have incredible strength triangle are typically used to support the structure. An Egyptian pyramid is one huge three dimensional triangle. It makes it incredibly strong and resistive to the trials of time.
Wear a rubber glove and wet it and rub it over the couch, it catches hair, or a lint roller.
