Yes, I always carry around a pair of scissors in my back pocket. :rolleyes:

Here am a graph of 1/x. http://www.mathsrevision.net/gcse/1overx.gif 5/x follows the same pattern.

It's earwig shaped, but I've ne'er seen one 2cm long... although thinking about it, I guess they grow to close that. And they really are resilient, not just against towels but boots and car tyres. If you use a grinding motion instead of a pressing motion, though, you can kill 'em.

Some things I love about America: 1. The motto on the Great Seal comes from a latin poem about making salad dressing. 2. The National Anthem is about a flag. 3. After breaking away form the king, the Presidency was created so the ignorant masees would think there was a king.

For someone advocating phonetic language, many of their spellings are highly non-phonetic.

There was one I liked enough to consider. It turned out I wasn't her type... being male.

Sounds like a biology query to me. However, it's important to stress that Earth is the only known planet capable of developing earthlike life. We just don't know enough about alternate chemistries to say that's it. To answer the second part of the question (since it makes no sense as a whole)...

If our society seems more nihilistic than that of previous eras, perhaps this is simply a sign of our maturity as a sentient species. As our collective consciousness expands beyond a crucial point, we are at last ready to accept life's fundamental truth: that life's only purpose is life itself...

There's legislation to prevent any contry owning the moon, but not any person. That's why you can buy chunks of it from certain places.
