That need answering ...

You know how everyone has random questions that pop into their heads and they need an answer ... well lets start a thread where we can all try and answer them.


I will start with...

News of the world costs £1

Sun costs 30p

How much of the cover price does the newsagent get ?

I know that newspapers are a "Sale or return" item ... but how much do the shops make from each copy ?

Don't know. give us an easy one.

I dont know the answer ... I NEED to know, its been bugging me.

when i was a paperboy the newsagents got about 4p from the sale of a 25p paper

is it true the average size newspaper costs 1.2p to print?

It might be on here somewhere - The National Federation of Retail Newsagents  (http://www.nfrnonline.com/)

ffs whats this do i look like rupert murdoch

I should have titled the thread ... annoying things that you need to know, but can't be arsed to research :D

There are loads of things I don't understand.  I take the view that ignorance is bliss (or my head would explode trying to understand)

When i worked in a paper shop i was told that they earnt next to nothing on a weekly paper but it got people through the door. Weekend papers with all the extra inserts are better money makers.

I've never seen a newsagent with a Bentley so I'd guess it's not a lot.

Without digging out some paperwork the Sun and News of the World both have a profit of about 8p. They are not full sale or return,only a percentage may be returned,how big a percentage depends on your relationship with the wholesaler.

I want to know how toothpast comes out in three different perfect colours even though i mash up the tube and try my best to distort them together!!!

I want to know why my unaided eyesight gets better if I stop wearing my contacts for a while.

Also, if you are on a blind date and you suspect the date may not originally have been the gender they stated on the form, how do you tell for sure/bring this up politely? Thanks in advance.

I lol'd!

Welcome to blonde. You'll fit in here.

I want to know the thinking behind the bombing of the moon. I'm not sure that the discovery of water in outerspace is as important as showing a peaceful approach to the aliens.

Apart from trespassing on their planets and taking pictures, now we're bombing them - how good an impression are we making, as they watch us with their telescopes, and we bomb their homes? It's not as if we even have a whiff of a WMD.

something occurred to me earlier today, but it's not suitable for the thread. i'll ask kev on msn later ;D

Scientists are trying to show that the moon is made of cheese and they developing WMDs (Weapons of Mice Distraction).

I read a really nice book once, called 'Cosmology' by Harrison http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/0521229812/ref=ed_oe_h_olp (cheaper old version) and he goes on at length about intelligent alien life forms (ldo, there are billions of em) and he argues to a conclusion (based around natural selection etc) that almost all of them would be hostile to humans and would seek our destruction given the chance. In fact he suggests that it's so likely that they already know we're here, and are hostile to us, that there's a possibility there are devices in place to wipe us out whenever they get round to it. And this is from a *really* well-respected cosmologist. FOL.

Back on news agent theme, how much do they get from a lottery ticket?

They get 5p from every lottery ticket.

How much on the news of the world or the sun ?

How much of the £1 actually goes directly in to the prize pool?

50p

[ ] I will resist the urge to try this

i thought someone on here might know the answer! yahoo questions only has ppl's ideas!

The same toothpaste question can also be asked about this product mayo and ketchup in a tube with perfect stripes, great with chips.
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41tPMo%2B8DBL._SL500_AA280_.jpg)

I always thought the tube had separate compartments inside, but I'm not sure. Why not cut the end off and have a look? (I've only got plain toothpaste or I would have done it myself already)

Someone told me tonight that in Holland mayo and ketchup together is called Samurai Sauce.

Dutch mayo is dodgy on it's own. It doesn't need to be mixed with ketchup and given a funky name.

This is tempting, don't think my wife will be too please though but my need to know is increasing.  ;carlocitrone;

Why is my bum itchy?

cos you only wiped twice!

6 is the optimum
