Everything that is currently proven, was once believed and needed evidence before it was an accepted fact. And even beliefs that were later found to not be factual do not necessarily have a lie at...

Why do americans call petrol 'gas' when it's a liquid?
Gas is short for gasoline. The word gasoline was first used as a brand name for the relatively new petroleum distillate in the late 1800s (it wasn't really a motor fuel just yet). A little known fact is that it was initially used as a topical medicinal—to rid folks of head lice. Gasoline was actually a brand in the same way that Vaseline is a brand name for petroleum jelly.

If this doesn't work, you may need to look into buying a secondary hot water heater, maybe a tankless system.

In keeping a bowling score,when you get 8 or 9 pins on your first ball,the number appears sometimes with a circle around it and sometimes it doesn't.What does the circle around the number mean.
You must be mistaken about there being a 9 with a circle around it, because when the first number is circled, it indicates that it is a split. A split is when there is a gap between pins after the first ball, and you can't have a gap if there is just a single pin.

How many pounds of force must a man exert on one end of an 8 foot lever to lift a 300 lb rock on the other end if the fulcrum is 1.5 feet from the rock?
You need to calculate the moment, which is force times distance. In this case, the moment required to lift the rock and the moment required by the man must be equal. If the distance from the rock to fulcrum is 1.5 feet, then the distance from the fulcrum to the man's force is 6.5
X equals the force required by the man, so
1.5*300=6.5*X
X = 69 lbs

Heard on the radio this morning.. some of the legislators in the House of Reps who voted "no" on the Bailout Bill originally, "sold" their votes for more pork for their state. That's why this thing finally passed. Now what do you think of 'em?
I think they did what they do everyday. And, not just a few of them, each and every one of them do it. Everyone that you voted for and voted against does it. It's how business is done in Washington. I don't think it's right, but it seems to be the only way to get things done. It's a form of compromising.

Evolution isn't about developing into the ultimate being, it's about adapting to your environment, and it takes time. Humans as they are now are the result of their environment, such as predators, available food, and climate. In time, humans will most likely continue to evolve and for changes in environment and reduced predators.

People have been moving more and more into big cities near water, where most of these disasters occur (tsunamis, hurricanes, floods, etc.).
People look at hurricane Katrina as being one of the worst storms in history....

It varies from year to year, but it averages between 58-62%.
Answer to:
The NY Giants stunned the NFL by winning the Super Bowl this past February. Was that the case of a team getting hot at the right time or did they establish themselves as an NFL powerhouse?
I think they got lucky, AKA hot at the right time. I would be surprised if they even make the playoffs this year.

Who was better at their position, Jerry Rice or Jim Brown?
Jerry Rice was better at his position than any other player in NFL history in my opinion. His awareness on the field was unmatched. His work ethic was unbelievable. Every off-season, Rice would develop a new skill or ability. One year, he would come in faster, the next year he would work on his strength, the next he would improve his leaping. All of this while already being the best in the...

Is brown wide reciever for philly hurt or looking good this year
Reggie Brown has a hamstring injury and could miss a few games to start the season. Even so, Once he's back in the lineup, I think he will have a very respectable season with McNabb healthy again.
Answer to:
Who do you think is the Better WR Jerry Rice or Randy Moss (keep in mind that Randy Moss's career isn't over)
No one will ever compete with Rice. Moss has had some nice years, but Rice played at that same level for his entire career. Look at the list of records Rice has in the link below. Moss won't come anywhere near most of them.

I think he'll be a nice addition later in the year, but Smith will get the bulk of the carries. If he runs...

Answer to:
Who Is Better Between The Steelers Of The 70's And The 49ers Of The 80's , And Why?
I would say the 49ers. Their offense was unstoppable from top to bottom and their defense was very respectable.
The Steelers defense was arguably the greatest defense in NFL history, but their offense was more a product of that defense. I firmly believe Terry Bradshaw is the most overrated QB in NFL history.
The 49ers were the more complete team in my opinion.
Answer to:
Do you think Marvin Harrison will play in 2008? Will he be the phenom he always was or are his golden days behind him?
Wayne has really stepped up as the #1 receiver on the team. I think Harrison is healthy now, and he has a good work ethic, so he should be in good shape. But, he's slowed now that he's gotten older.
He should still be a solid player and I'd say 80 catches for 1100 yards and 7 TDs.

If it has been a full two weeks, a pregnancy test MIGHT give you a positive now, but it could take longer before your hormone levels are high enough for the test to detect.

Check the connections and for breaks in the wire harness that goes into the door. To check the connection, you'll probably have to at least partially take off your door pad. Not sure how easy it is on your car, but sometimes it can be a pain.

The Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Hiawatha National Park is there, and if you go about a half hour outside of some of the bigger cities like Marquette or Escanaba, it's easy to find very peaceful and secluded area. And, it's Michigan, so you're never too far from lakes.

At what age should kids start doing chores? What chores do feel are appropiate for eight and nine years old children?
I think kids should do chores as young as 4 or 5. Nothing too big, just feeding the dog or picking up a room. It teaches them responsibility.
For kids at 8-9, things like vacuuming, doing dishes, raking the yard, and dusting. Pretty much anything that isn't dangerous should be fine at that age, like lawn mowing or cutting down trees with a chainsaw...

Vitamin A is found in many orange, red, and yellow fruits and vegetables and in leafy green vegetables. So, eat your carrots like you were told and see your eye care professional at least every year or two to have your eyes tested. When you’re...

Should New England Patriot fans chill or be concerned about their prospects for 2008-09?
Chill. Their rookies and prospects don't need to be impact players because New England already has a solid core of players. New England has the ability to slowly work them into the system and find out what role fits them best, and then use the system to best use their abilities. It's that philosophy that has made the Patriots a contender for so long.

Does adding salt to water change the temperature at which it boils?
As soon as any of the salt dissolves in the water, the boiling point of the water will begin to rise -- by about one half degree Celsius for every 58 grams of salt dissolved per kilogram of water.

That is why antifreeze (ethylene glycol) provides boiling protection in winter as it simultaneously provides freezing...

There is also the issue of the goalie having to pass the physical.

That seems a bit optimistic to me since the record has been improved on by less than 1 second over the past 96 years.

There was an article in the San Francisco Post that said that a large number of members of the USC football team contracted "jock itch"-What is this, and how can an organized team with a big time staff have such an outbreak?
They're saying the blame is with new compression tights the team is wearing. Fungus from other parts of the body (commonly tinea pedis or 'athlete's foot') can contribute to jock itch. A warm, damp environment allowing the fungus to cultivate greatly contributes; especially with tight, sweaty or rubbing clothing such as a jockstrap, or in this case tights.

Why is it sometimes not necessary to start measurement at the 0-mark of the meter stick?
It is usually an advantage to not start at the 0 mark of a meter stick because the end of a meter stick can take a lot of abuse over its lifetime.

Unfortunately, it must have been a very small company, because the phone I got was the cell phone of the person driving the vehicle. I gave him a quick earful and hung up.

The men's 100m sprint record is 9.69 seconds. The men's 50m sprint record is 5.56 seconds. If you subtract these world records, you can approximate that the last 50m of the 100m sprint was run in 4.13 seconds. Multiply this by 2. So, hypothetically, a person could run the 100m dash in 8.26 seconds if they started at full speed.

If you have a strong arm, then Shortstop or Third Base are good options. It depends on what kind of quick you are that should decide which. Shortstops have to have decent reflexes, but be able to run quickly to track down ground ball. Third basemen on the other hand need extremely good reflexes because balls that are hit down the third baseline are usually hit very hard.

Where did the term "Egging him/her on" come from?
This term meaning to encourage or incite has nothing to do with throwing eggs. The verb egg dates to 1200 and is from the Old Norse eggja. From the Trinity College Homilies, c.1200:

If it wasn't an accident, it's odd, but not overwhelmingly odd. I'm sure she's on a load of drugs for...

Should the government pay for Universal Health Care? Universal Health Care would cost something like $3000 per capita per year. Remember, that the cost of existing plans would no longer be necessary .
Where is the government going to get the money for it? They would raise taxes which would take back any raise in salary you would see. Then, you also have to weigh in the fact some people would rather have their current plans because it would be better than the government could offer.

I RECENTLY UPDATED WINDOWS ME TO XP,NOW WHEN I USE CUBASE THERE'S A FEW SECONDS DELAY BETWEEN PLAYING A NOTE AND THE SOUND BEING HEARD. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT'S CAUSING THIS AND WHAT CAN I DO?
It sounds like your computer is just slow. You may want to upgrade your processor, or computer as a whole. If it was still running Windows ME, then I assume it is 5 or more years old.

Answer to:
1994 chevy P/U runs fine cold.After warmup runs bad. Jerks & wants to die from takeoff. Recently tuned up. 140K,new catalic converter. Barely passed our emission here. Runs ok accelerating,bad steady.
Sounds a lot like a problem I had with my Explorer. It ended up being an airflow problem. You may want to check the engine air intake. It runs better when going fast because the air is forced through the engine. Just a thought though.

How do I clean figurines - I have wildlife figurines that are like a stucko body - I was thinking of using a soft brush - toothbrush - but I'm afraid of flaking of the colour or disintegrating them. Thanks in advance for anyone whom can give me advice...
You could use compressed air that is used to clean keyboards. Try it on something else first though to be sure the pressure isn't too high that it may harm them.

The only way of finding out would a very detailed eye and neurological scan, which probably hasn't been invented yet. It could happen and we would never know about it. It's a very good question and brings up similar questions about the way people perceive the world with their senses. As long as you are taught that red it red and green is green, it doesn't matter how you see...

Some questions are asked multiple times. This clutters the site a bit TMHO. Before submitting, should there be a list of questions allready asked; based upon the most important words and/or catagory?
There is. When you ask your question and hit "ask" the second page posts the top 3 questions that closest match the question you're asking. You are supposed to check them to see if you are duplicating one of them, but people rarely do. This is the same page that allows you to choose the correct category, something else that doesn't always get used.

Answer to:
When will the US become a bilingual society?
I don't think it ever will be. With the way communication has developed, the world is a much smaller place and most other countries are learning English as their second language. So, if most of the world is learning English, there isn't much pressure for the US to adopt another language. The only language that would make sense would be either Chinese or Japanese in my eyes.

Answer to:
I have a 2000 3.0 V6 Ranger, and in the morning, when its cold, my serpentine belt squeaks. I've done my homework, and I know it could by the belt, tensioner, or pulleys. But in this situation, when its only in the morning, could it be something specific?
It is most likely happening in the morning because it is cold and maybe has dew on it. The cold will stiffen the belt, and along with the moisture will make the friction of the belt lower. Most noises come out in a car in this environment.
A new or adjusted belt will probably help this.

How do you measure 170 square inches for a piece of paper?
170 square inches could have an infinite amount of dimensions. If you want it to be 10 inches one way, then the other measurement must be 17 inches.
If you have to keep 170 square inches, first determine what length one side needs to be. Then to determine the length of the second side, divide 170 by the length of the first side.

What is the age limit for college football (years and months please)
There are no age limits. If you remember Chris Weinke from Florida State was 28 when he won the Heisman Trophy, so he was older than average college freshman when he started. Every student is given four years of eligibility regardless of age, all you need is to have graduated from High School, a certain number of classes under your belt with a good GPA. Finally have taken the SATs or the ACTs.

Why is it when people are in college and younger there is a age gap but when your older it dosent matter as much like my parents are 8 years apart so when my mom was 12 my dad was 20 yet they ended up married manyy years later?
Because the most intense growing that you do is at a young age. Most of your life changing experiences and maturing are done early on, so the perceived age difference is less as you get older.
