  1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naegleria_fowleri
  2. Naegleria would be another ideal choice, since its hard to find once infected. It's also extremely contagious, and the bodies it kills become very toxic biohazards.
  3. WHOO! split rock plant. ...and... other boring succulent plants...
  4. Remember your history, back during the Roman Empire warriors who had died from smallpox infections were usually burned. Someone figured that, "Hey, why dont we throw the dead bodies over the enemies wall?" That was among the first biological weapons ever used. PS- the best kind of biological weapon is the kind that no one notices till it's too late, ie: smallpox, ebola, HIV, anthrax, or, best of all, rabies. PSS- if you are looking to just weaken the enemy, the best would be varicella.
  5. The second score is close to what I've gotten on written tests.
  6. The ones on facebook give fairly accurate results, and they also factor in how long it takes you to complete the test. On the regular one I got around 130. On the advanced one I got in the 160s (used paper though). So I don't know if any online tests can give you a difinitive answer. My science teacher says the stanford-binet IQ tests are the best though.
  7. He would say god is right all the time, and then a atheist vs. christian riot would erupt.
  8. Incredibly fun!!!:D:D 2:3 then ran out of time.
  9. Thanks, probably not going to take complex or abstract algebra until I'm in college.

    Thermite

    I'm trying to make thermite; what do I need to make it? From what I've read it said just mix aluminum powder with iron(III) oxide (rust). Is this correct? I just want to watch it burn. PS-also, which equation is better? Both are for thermite, but which one is the better... um... thermite? Fe2O3+2Al -->2Fe+Al2O3+heat 3Fe3O4 + 8Al --> 9Fe + 4Al2O3 + heat
  13. What kind of math is this?
  14. Holy crap. I have no freakin' idea.
  15. Functional Neuroanatomical Differences Between Adults and School-Age Children in the Processing of Single Words Bradley L. Schlaggar,15* Timothy T. Brown,3 Heather M. Lugar,1 Kristina M. Visscher,4 Francis M. Miezin,12 Steven E. Petersen1234 A critical issue in developmental cognitive neuroscience is the extent to which the functional neuroanatomy underlying task performance differs in adults and children. Direct comparisons of brain activation in the left frontal and extrastriate cortex were made in adults and children (aged 7 to 10 years) performing single-word processing tasks with visual presentation; differences were found in circumscribed frontal and extrastriate regions. Conceivably, these differences could be attributable exclusively to performance discrepancies; alternatively, maturational differences in functional neuroanatomy could exist despite similar performance. Some of the brain regions examined showed differences attributable to age independent of performance, suggesting that maturation of the pattern of regional activations for these tasks is incomplete at age 10.
  16. A little off topic, but I just bought a succulent plant from lowes called a split rock plant. Coolest little thing I ever saw.
  17. That's profiling. Not all Christians are this way. The only thing that I really think is especially foolish of Christians is the way they try to disprove evolution. Some even try to disclaim the dinosaurs. I love dinorsaurs .
  18. Nicotine is an abundant poison. Here is how to concentrate it: First get a can of chewing tobacco or pipe tobacco. Remove the contents and soak in water overnight in a jar (about 2/3 cup of water will do…). In the morning, strain into another jar the mixture through a porous towel. Then wrap the towel around the ball of tobacco and squeeze it until all of the liquid is in the jar. Throw away the tobacco–you will not need it anymore. Now you have two options. The first one makes the nicotine more potent. 1) Allow to evaporate until a sticky syrup results in the jar. This is almost pure nicotine 2) Heat over low flame until water is evaporated and a thick sticky syrup results (shouldn’t take too long, though). Do not ingest the nicotine after distilling it. It is a deadly poisen even in a very low dose. As for testing with animals, I wouldn't recommend it, for some people get a little touchy on that subject. PS- You'll probably have to give the rats the nicotine with a needle. Nicotine has a very strong taste, and they probably wont eat it willingly.
  19. Thanks for clearing that up.
  20. I mean it's surprising and angering that a religious leader would make it seem as if condoms increase the chance of contracting HIV.
  21. It seems outrageous that the pope would blatantly lie about such things. I liked John Paul II better anyway.
  22. I'm not an expert, but I think they first get a sample of blood. After putting it in a petri dish or something, they combine the different types of blood to see which ones the cells bind with. I know that isn't the full explaination, but that's the basic gist of things I believe.
