THAT'S A COOL FEATURE... WHO THOUGHT OF THAT? IT JUST MAKES THE FIRST LETTER CAPITAL... AWESOME.

Edit: How come it stops just when I test it out?

Time travel is possible, but you can't change anything, because it would have already been changed and you would be living the effects. For example, What if a man was one day walking across a street in New York, and a car suddenly barreled at him, and he froze, and from somewhere across the street a bullet shot out, hitting him in the leg, saving his life, but causing him to be crippled for the rest of his life.

Later in his life, time travel is invented, and he volunteers to go back in time and see if he could change his past so that the last few years of his life could be spent out of a wheelchair. He brings a gun with him, since it is New York, and very dangerous. He travels to where the incident happened, to the spot on the side of the road from which the bullet came, and sees himself. Then, he sees the car coming straight at his past self; his past self stares, spellbound. The car comes closer and closer, and still, his past self doesn't move. Finally realizing that the bullet wasn't coming, and his past self was going to be hit by the car and be killed, he does the only thing that comes to his mind; he shoots his gun at his past self. His past self's leg gets hit and he tumbles out of the way, just in time. He was the one who shot himself.

So you see? You can technically change the past, but the changes you make would have already affected your future self, and so, in essence, nothing can be changed.

They weigh the same, and you should wait your turn. It seems YT has forgotten about this though...

Infinity is a term coined not for one exact number, but for the concept that the numbers go on forever. It's a hard concept to grasp.

Oh, duh, a ship on its side... I knew it was going to be obvious. But where is it supposed to be? Why is it strange?

The first photo is very ambiguous; I can't tell what it is or what's strange with it, but the second photo is obviously photoshopped. Either that, or it is man-made.

No, because the second beam of light would be traveling at the same speed as the first beam of light. For instance, if two cars were bumper-to-bumper and both were driving at twenty miles per hour, the second car would be moving away from the first car at the same speed as the first car would be moving toward it, and so the second car would not be pushed at all by the first car.

And you just ignored this and it was gone the next day? You didn't go to the doctor's or anything?

Anyway, I have a condition called orthostatic hypotension. If I do not eat, and my blood sugar drops too far, I can faint. Before I faint, I get the feeling that all the blood is rushing to my feet, black dots appear in my eyes, and both my eyes and ears sort of fuzz over. Is this how you felt? I can't explain the hives, but the other symptoms are very familiar. The coldness is accustomed to my condition as well.

It depends of where you live as well; smogged-up air and cloud cover can greatly obscure one's view of the heavens.

Thanks, I was looking for a key.

I noticed there are icons on the very far left of all the threads. What do these mean? There are blue envelopes, orange envelopes, orange envelopes with arrows, and a few others.

Oh' date=' you mean evolution-wise...

 

This happened the same way frogs are sometimes born with more than four legs. A single (or multiple) gene(s) mutate and cause some abnormal behaviour to occur. Five or more legs is an example of maladaptive evolution in frogs, but two or more cells could have come in handy back then, and whatever mutation that caused that to happen persisted.[/quote']

 

I think you're wrong there. AFAIK frogs with greater than 4 legs are the result of non-genetic developmental irregularities.

 

Scientists have recently discovered a set of genes that act as master switches for the development of the body. A specific one, called Cerberus (Based on the Greek legend of Cerberus the three-headed dog) has been isolated to be the master switch for the growth of the head, arms, legs, and fingers. For instance, after a head have been grown, Cerberus is activated after a complex chain reaction of chemicals and the "sprout point" on the neck is deactivated. If this gene is corrupted, Cerberus is never activated and another head begins to grow from "sprout point". Cerberus is also present in the bases of the extremities.

I suspect such a drug would have the opposite effect as a sleeping pill, and will lower the quality of your sleep drastically, a consequence that you may not have considered.

Since when do they?

The scientists behind the special The Future is Wild!, a special that aired on The Discovery Channel not long ago, predicted that the next sentient beings would be of squid ancestory.

I seemed to happen the first few rounds of each game and then slowly tapered off. For the second game, we stuck at it for a while, and that's probably the only value that is erroneous. I realized that the more times we played the game and failed, the greater the error of the probability, but I assure you that for the first and second games, I only failed one or two times, and that is after I succeeded in beating those insane odds.

Lol nice odds if i were you i would go and put some lottery numbers on

That's exactly what my mom said

But that would be clairvoyance; that is different than telepathy.

Similary, if a place has been terrorist bombed, then immediately following the incident, the place should be very safe.

I presume you are excluding the terrorist bombings that occur in the Middle East and Israel almost daily.

I think I have a strong telepathic connection with my little sister. Yesterday we became bored and so I organized a few games we could play to test this theory.

Game 1: Four cards are laid face-down in a row. One person knows which cards are which. The other person must find a certain card. We played this game and I found the card three times in a row, beating the odds of one in sixty four.

Game 2: Four cards are separated from the deck. One person chooses one card and concentrates on it. The other person must guess which card. Again we played and I guessed three times in a row, beating the odds of one in sixty-four.

I did not think this was convincing enough, so we played another game.

Game 3: One person chooses a number from one to ten and concentrates on it. The other person must guess the number. In this game, I guessed it right the first time, the second time, the third time giving two possible numbers, and the fourth time also giving two possible numbers. This comes out to a probability of one in twenty-five hundred.

Did I calculate the probabilities incorrectly, or is this irrefutable evidence toward whether me and my sister are telepathically connected?

I think this is a test send down from the great ziti throne of the Flying Spaghetti Monster! Hail His Noodly Appendage!

And you need to put [/hide] at the end.

Am I right, Jordan? If I am, I get to post the next riddle because I posted before YT.

[hide]The Banister?[/hide]

I was reading in some Discovery magazine that the foods one eats doesn't affect it at all and that it is purely hormonal.

I've heard lots of rumours about adolescent zits, and I just want to clear a few things up (no pun intended ). First of all, is it all just hormones, or do the things that one eats affect it as well? And I'm almost positive that stress has something to do with it. (I got the biggest zit of my life the day after my first kiss )

Your thoughts?

There are more than twenty-six different symbols... This is going to be harder than I thought.
