Is this a black snake
Well it certainly looks like some sort of black snake. But can't really tell exactly what type it would be because of the grass.

Also depends a bit on your location too I guess. I've seen tiger snakes that look as black as that with very subtle stripes.

Where abouts did you take the photo?

How much does a segway scooter cost
Not sure exactly but I think they are around $5000 new, maybe more. It would make a fun solution to getting around your warehouse, either that or you could get a golf cart which would be equally as good maybe more so.

At least with the golf cart you could get a few more people on it and carry stuff around too.

What type of plant is this
This looks suspiciously like Basil to me. Wait and see if you get someone else to confirm that. If that's confirmed, you can certainly get cooking with that.

What type of cycad is this
I take you are talking about the first image, the other 2 are obviously taken of different plants.

Not sure what type of Cycad that is anyway, you'll have to wait till a specialist arrives on the scene anyway I think :)

Sorry I'm of no help

What Sydney landmark is this from
Nah it's not from the bridge :) I think it's probably solid stainless steel, it's got alot of weight to it.

What Sydney landmark is this from
Yeah it's from Sydney Tower, or as I still call it Centrepoint :)

Turns out they use these bolts to help secure the massive cables that support the tower! I'm guessing they use quite a few of these babies!

What Is with the Michael Phelps diet
You have to remember how much energy he would burn with the training he does everyday. I also doubt he would eat all that food in only 3 meals. The breakfast quantity you simply couldn't fit in if you tried to consume all of it at once. I'm guessing that is spaced out into a brunch sitting as well.
Still it's a tremendous quantity of food, he must have a serious weekly food bill!

Want to get this steam train working
Take care with that asbestos! Should be fine as long as you don't start sanding it back.

Why does my mouse clicking finger feel cold
You're not alone, I get this too. Although only when the weather is fairly cool. Don't ask me why it happens though...

THE SHAMROCK WHISKY DUBLIN BAR MIRROR
It's a nice mirror, I could see it hanging on a pub wall somewhere.

The spelling of "Whisky" without the "E" is the Scottish way of spelling it, while Whiskey with an "E" is the Irish/ American way of spelling it . So it would seem pretty unusual that this particular brand which is apparently Irish, would be spelt without the "E"

I'm not sure about age or value of this sorry, but you're probably right about the moist air affecting the mirror over a period of time.

What sort of trevally is this
It's a silver trevally, it's safe to eat mate. I wouldn't say it's the very best tasting fish in the sea, but it's fine. You'll find them on the menus of many fish restaurants from time to time.

On Questionboxing day
boxing day
Hi Unfaithful

Boxing day has been around for centuries. It's origins are basically from the day when the wealthy would "box" /wrap gifts for the lower class, often their servants.
It's mainly celebrated only in commonwealth countries like Australia UK NZ etc.

What is the web browser thats fast too
On my laptop I use Firefox 3. Mainly because I haven't gotten around to installing Google Chrome on it. My desktop has Chrome on it which I find is fast and well behaved.

Firefox 3 is fast once it's started up through the first use of the day. Chrome is faster to startup first thing and seems "lighter" on system resources.

I.E is the worst piece of crap browser ever conceived. It's compliance with web standards up till IE8 has been shameful.
I'm yet to install it though... Microsoft have a long way to go before they earn back any faith I had in Internet Explorer.

Aviators! Cool. The pilots choice these ones. They are worth at least $250 here in OZ.

Check to see what the model number is on them.
