We always hear about 40 yr old men pretending to be 13 yr old girls. Are the 13 yr old girls pretending to be 40 yr old men? (Not sure I want to know answer just got to wondering)

If there are planets on this side of the sun is it possible there are some on other side of it that we cant see because they match our rotation?

Why cant animals speak our language? Arent some of them smart enough?

chimps can speak sign language, and dolphins can also manipulate buttons on a board with vocabulary words to form short sentances and phrases to let us know what's on their mind.

are wise enough to know that we have nothing interesting to say.

Speaking of questions, what makes teflon stick to the pan?

What if what we think are dreams are actually reality and when we believe we're awake...that's the dream?

So, Does anyone know what made Edison even try to start the process of inventing the light bulb? I mean really know. Not just guessing..I'd be interested in knowing that tid bit...

the teflon is only teflon on one side i suppose.

As for Drakar's planet question..well umm...you should read up on that.

animals' voice boxes (or whatever) are only capable of making certain noises, typically. Made that way. I'm sure we can look it up and find a specific answer for that one.

I dunno...those are my answers.
and now a question:

Why doesn't America start using round-a-bouts more often, like europe (specifically Holland). They're quite useful and much less traffic jamming!!

that was me, Fantasy. I was logged in as Almerin on accident.

i repeat then:

what's a "round about"??

...is a lot like what we might call "traffic circles," Fuby. Kind of like that loopy little bit of Main Street in Troy...

Thanks Eol...that cleared it up.

I vote a resounding no on the Round A Bouts!!!

what's another word for Thesaurus?

Interesting: see below

Despite what you have probably heard, Edison did not invent the light bulb. For at least fifty years before Edison, inventors tried to light the world using electricity. They worked with two kinds of electric light: arc lighting, which is bright enough to light a city street, and incandescent lighting, which is soft enough for use indoors. Charles Brush started his arc lighting business in 1877, two years before Edison's breakthroughs with incandescent lighting.

Two points set Edison apart from the others. In 1879, he made an incandescent bulb that burned long enough to be practical, long enough to light a home. Then he and his "muckers" invented the entire system needed to bring electricity into your home--dynamos to make the electric power, wires and fuses, switches to turn the lights on and off. He invented the electric power system.

How old are the first forks in America?
Older or newer than fork use in Europe?
