Was that you in 1960 ?

Cheeky sod. I wasn't even conceived until 63.

You mean sisal. Sizzle is what bacon does.

No wonder it never comes when I call its name.

This is just a terrible thread.

Get knotted.

If the string was tied around a tree, and said tree falls in a forest, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

The string or the tree ? You need to be more pacific. That way we can sea what you nean.

One piece of string measured from New York to Paris.

When Charles Lindbergh was refuelling The Spirit of St Louis prior to his transatlantic crossing in 1927, they realised they didn’t know the distance, an important fact. Off they trotted to the local library to measure a globe using a piece of string (which I assume they then measure using a rule to convert into nautical miles).

About a yard apparently.

Someone figured out that whenever someone asks this question the most common length that people imagine is best estimated at about a yard.
