The bare ship was launched on May 31, 1911. It took about another year to outfit the ship, and she was completed on March 31, 1912. She was tested and declared...

Have you already gone past the stage of the PUK code (i.e. putting it in wrong too many times?) If you&#039;ve used all the PUK code attempts, then your card is permanently blocked. I don&#039;t know of any way to unblock a SIM after that. If you still have PUK code...

The bible says when Adam and Eve did that, sin and death entered the world. There are a few debates on the meaning of this. Some scholars...

But then again, I never really understood it until recently, and so it never made sense to me. Still, even now that I do understand, I still don&#039;t like the ending.

For anybody not familiar with the book: It&#039;s one of his earlier fantasy works based on the Forgotten Realms of the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons world. Sojourn is the third book in his &#039;The legend of Drizzt&#039; series, which details the origin and story...

Usually minorities are classed as such because they are somehow at odds with the hegemony and its ruling viewpoints.

How did you get it?<br /><br />Though it has long faded away, I inherited my nickname on my apprenticeship. Since I was such a beefcake (not), my supervisor decided to call me &#039;Ribs&#039;. That wasn&#039;t the funniest part. For reasons beyond my comprehension, they named my wife Mrs. Ribs... Ooh didn&#039;t she just...

Pre-cum is just a lubricating fluid that oozes out of the urethra. It can (and usually does) contain sperm, which means there is a chance you can get pregnant from it. The quantity of pre-cum that is excreted would not be enough for a woman to feel inside her vagina.

It&#039;s just so dead sexy, and if you ever hear one up close... *shudder*.

Did you know who did it and what were the circumstances surrounding it? Has it happened more than once to you? It has happened a lot to me and I wondered if it happened to all girls, or it it happens to guys too?<br /><br />I was once, accidentally. I was in a video rental shop with my wife, and we were both looking through the shelves in different parts of the store. This girl was walking along the row, looking at the videos, and must have automatically thought I was her boyfriend. Without looking up at all...

[this isnt all christians, im only asking about some]<br /><br />There are some good answers here. I must say I can identify with what the question is asking, however I look at it in a broader context. I asked it myself many times. Why do many people get so defensive when challenged? I think one answer to the question is in the way we are taught. ...

The bible says that Satan is a created being, and does not have the nature, power or abilities God has. So I would have to say absolutely not. If God is real and he created us, could there be life on other planets...

Simple. Because we don&#039;t all believe what you believe. How do you know it&#039;s a fake? In what way is it fake?

There are so many different factors involved. What do you do with somebody who was forced into crime, or makes poor choices and regrets it later when it&#039;s too late? What do you do with the pathological murder/rapist who is genuinely...

We do indeed look at each other, but it seems our society view staring as impolite, or an invasion of privacy. At the same time, men do look at women in a particular way. Whether it is with sexual intentions (i.e. mentally undressing)...

Do you say anything or just assume it wasn't important?<br /><br />I do that quite a bit. My train of thought often derails. I have met a few people who do it as well. If it&#039;s important I&#039;ll prompt, by repeating back the last few words they said. If it&#039;s not important, I just let it go.

Archangels such as Raphael, Gabriel, Michael, Uriel etc. Does this mean that I believe in them?<br /><br />To answer the question, I would say it does not necessarily mean you believe in them. I have a fascination with the concept of Dragons. I love the design of the creatures, and of the way they can be interpreted, created, drawn, written about, etc. That doesn&#039;t mean I believe in...

I am confused as to which is really true. thank you.<br /><br />From what I have learned in the past few years, I would not deny genetic contribution to homosexuality.

Unpaid or low paid labour to maintain the prison, as part of living within the prison, well I&#039;d have to think about that... Every task the prisoners do in maintaining the prison is one less task that outsiders have to be paid to do. Should the prisoners get paid? I...

If the relative is dead but the body is never found, you may find issues of denial and obsession - there is no closure and no certainty of death, leaving the opportunity for people...

Being born in a Capitalist society I've been subject to a lot of propaganda and it's almost seems un-american to say that there is a flaw in the system. What are your thoughts?<br /><br />The biggest flaw I see in Capitalism, in my humble opinion, is us. The people in the system. Why? Because like any system, Capitalism is not immune to corruption. Greed and selfishness to me are the biggest contaminants of the Capitalistic system, just as it is in any other system. ...

Some women dress provocatively and still attend church. Do you think churches should establish a dress code for women (and men) as the Moslems do?<br /><br />It&#039;s a tough question to answer... who are we to judge others? Well - the bible does tell believers to judge the actions (not the heart) of other believers, and offer correction and reproof from the scriptures to bring a sinner back. What I would say is this: The bible says that Jesus...

God is of three seperate parts in one being 2.) That God created the world in seven days. 3.) That God is the infinat begining and end?<br /><br />Your question reminded me of something I saw a while back. In Genesis where it describes morning and evening of each &#039;day&#039; of creation, the words used for &#039;morning&#039; and &#039;evening&#039; can be translated to have meanings that relate to changes in entropy - not...

She thinks thats why she was married 61 yrs until her death. Is there any truth to her beliefs?<br /><br />Yep - not only is going to bed angry bad for your relationship, it&#039;s bad for your health. Sort it out, make up, relax and get a good night&#039;s sleep instead of tossing and turning and fuming all night.

That&#039;s the long and short of it. If she is indeed your friend she has to respect that. You don&#039;t need to make excuses for yourself.

There are a few examples of &#039;turbo-supercharged&#039; cars, mainly aftermarket tune-ups. In this situation you can run bigger turbos for more boost, and use the supercharger to remove the...

What is the purpose of a spoiler(wing)? I'll give you a hint, its not for show.<br /><br />A functional wing (front or rear)is basically an upside-down aerofoil (wing) that causes lift force downwards, as opposed to an upward lifting force on plane wings. Its main purpose is to keep the vehicle stable at high speeds by creating &#039;downforce&#039; - downward force caused by air...

Brakes work on all 4 wheels, usually have ABS these days, and can slow you down much more rapidly than engine braking. Where engine braking becomes useful is maintaining a lower speed and minimising the use of...

I&#039;ve had a bit to do with carbon fibre, but I&#039;m not an expert. However... Carbon fibre (CF) is very very strong, very rigid and reasonably resilient to blows.
