ROFLMAO

of course you get a diver's license at 12

I understand Chuck Norris visited The Virgin Islands between walker Texas ranger seasons. When he left however they were just The Islands.

question: Batman v. Superman....
Let debate begin!!!

Spiderman

Spiderman rocks!
And I vote for all of the X-Men.

Never liked Superman or Batman.

they all have their perks, but i like Batman. He's dark.

Superman has the most and best powers, though, and Spiderman is probably in better shape than all three, since he has to jump around and climb walls so much.

If the teachers taught why can't it be that the preachers praught?

Why do we bother to learn potty training when eventually most of us end our lives in diapers again anyway?

I plan to end my life running around naked for the last few years just so you know.

Oh, and Batman pwns them all...he'd use his..."Bat-Anti-Spiderman/Superman/X-Men" tool.

...patent pending.

No matter who is fighting whom, no matter where, no matter what universe or under what circumstances. BatMan wins.

I'd applaud you but I know you hate that. Batman is the ultimate super hero, period.

On the planet issue, we can be certain that nothing with enough mass to be called a planet remains hidden "on the other side" because we'd see it's gravitational effects on the orbits of known planets. That's actually how astronomers new to look for Pluto, which doesn't even count anymore. Some honestly think there might be something way out past Pluto, but there's no real way of knowing... and I take that not to be the question you ask.

The big question with animals and language is abstraction. Some animals can be taught language, but it's not clear they can be taught abstract concepts, which is (perhaps) all that seperates human language qualitatively from the noises our pets make. 'Course it's hard to ber sure, since we don't actually know how much of what they "say" is understood, and how much is pushing buttons to get results.

Oddly enough, Edison DIDN'T invent the modern electric system. He was too hung up on DC current, which was impractical. The guy we have to thank for our modern electric grid is really a guy named Tesla. Not only did he make it work and find a corporate sponsor, he waived his royalties to prevent said corporate sponser from going broke trying to pay him for the initial system, which made much more money than was anticipated over its rather small test area. Edison hated him, and it's largely due to the more well-known man that Tesla died penniless and almost unknown.

I've always heard that the Norse called Iceland by its forbidding name to frighten off competitors for its settlement, and Greenland by its misleading one because it was so barren they didn't really care... that seems a bit too cute to be true, but it's the only answer I have.

We all know the whole "hotdogs in pachages of ten and hotdog buns in packages of eight" thing is a ploy to get us to by more in bulk... but why is it that NO ONE seems to have decided to find a niche in the market by selling 10 bun packages? It could even be advertising point... Any thought?

MY GET RICH QUICK SCHEME!!! I thought no one would figure that out. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Edison didn't invent the lighbulb, or much of anythig else - he hired a bunch of inventors and filed all the patents for their work under his own name.

Also, though many people don't know who Tesla was, everyone knows Tesla. Imagine a mad scientist. That's Tesla. Wild-eyed, hair standing on end, manic ranting, pure genius, delusions (granduer and others as well) - all Tesla. He was utterly convinced that the high-pitched whine coming off of his radio was communication from space aliens, and that he was holding conversations with them. He also claimed he could pull electricty from the air and beam to devices without using wires... and that he had built a death ray. When he died, his papers were siezed by the government and remain classified to this day, leading many conspiracy theorists to believe many of his wild assertions - although the things were know he accomplished are incredible enough that very little would be truly surprising by comparison.
