  1. Women have higher rates of obesity and eating disorders than men do, but why? I'd assume that men's and women's brains react differently to hunger. If anyone knows anything about this, or has any information, please reply...I'm very curious.
  2. How many of you have ever been yelled at by a parent for sleeping, instead of working around the house, studying, or being active? I'm assuming most of the people reading this. Well, here's an excuse to use next time this happens: "research shows that morning sleep and afternoon naps aid mental and physical learning." In studies performed at Harvard, scientists investigated the role of sleep in perceptual learning by training subjects to report the direction of colored bars superimposed on other lines on a computer screen. Their performance progressively worsened throughout the day. The subjects were then allowed to nap for 30 minutes, and the deterioration ceased; and when allowed one hour of nap time, scores became as high as when first started. What does this mean? It appears that the brain prevents the absorption of new information in order to allow the data already there to be committed to memory during slumber. Apparently, the deep, slow-wave sleep that occurs in even short naps allows recently learned information to be processed and readies the mind for new knowledge. The intensity of learning new skills and information may drive the brain’s hunger for large amounts of sleep, and in order for an individual to learn new things, they may require a good night’s sleep before the maximum benefit of the time they spend practicing is realized.
  3. I'll let God answer that question for you... God: "Your soul would not reunite with your body"
  4. Just recently, the son of Baseball great Ted Williams had his deceased father "frozen" in expectation of a future revival. At a cost of $120,000, one could have "whold-body freeze"; or for the cheap a "head freeze" for $50,000. Here’s how the procedure is done: After a declaration of death, the body is put on a heart-lung machine for transfer to the freezing facility. The body is cooled in an ice bath, the blood is replaced with a preservative solution, and as much water as possible is drawn out from the remains — so as to avoid cellular damage from ice crystals. Then the body (or just the head) is cooled to around 320 degrees below zero Fahrenheit, using a liquid-nitrogen cryogenic system, and stored in a vacuum chamber until scientists figure out how to revive the body and repair the damage. (The longer you wait to start the process, the higher the chance of cell damage.) Now my question...Is there any chance at all that this could work? It is expected that scientists will develop nanoscale robots that could course through the bloodstream, repairing the cellular damage caused by post-death deterioration and the freezing process. Eventually, the fantasy world of the widely known Terminator movie series, will come true. We [those who "freeze" themselves] will become no longer of human origin, but created of silicone internals. Our soul (for those who believe in God) will have already left the body, and our bloodstream full of "nanocsale robots". It seems to me that scientists seem to play the role of God fairly well, or so it seems. It is hoped that in the future, a patient will be able to be revived for as little as $3. Simpsons Quote: "We've frozen Mr. Burns until the scientists develope a cure for 14 stab wounds to the back"

    My last baby fell out of a kangaroo pouch.
  9. This was taken from a MSNBC Article. GENOA, Ill, July 7 — In a blinding flash, the routine high school chemistry experiment turned to chaos. An alcohol-fueled fireball shot into the classroom, searing the skin of three junior honor students in the front row. They took the brunt of the blast on their faces, necks, arms, hands and legs. The teacher pulled burning jeans off one of the girls; scorched skin fell from the boy’s face. The rest of the class scrambled for the door, leaving burned backpacks and books behind. ....... Almost all of the accidents and injuries could have been prevented with simple safety measures, experts said. But many teachers are unaware of the dangers, and there is no formal system to share information on accidents so teachers can learn from others’ mistakes. ....... “I think lawmakers need to take another look at things,” said Roy, of the National Science Teachers Association. “But there is a lot on the books now that needs to be enforced, and teachers need training. You send your kids to school because you think they’re safe. It burns me that (accidents) are happening when they’re preventable.” My Thoughts: I don't think that "lawmakers" need to take another look at things, but the incompitent students who make blatant mistakes should re-evaluate their situation. It is obvious that if proper safety procedures are followed, chaos is minimal, and high school students can return to performing actual experiments...ones which actually teach chemistry; not boiling water for four weeks, attempting to calculate it's evaporation time.
