My friends grandmother didn't change the oil in her dodge intrepid and blew the engine. I am planning to buy the car, do I need to replace the engine? If I have to replace, what do I replace it with? I have no clue of what to do... replace or repair?
Yes, you need to replace the engine. Don't bother; buy a new vehicle. The costs will be greater than the worth of the vehicle in almost all cases.
(Reiterating most of what is above)..
Running an engine out of oil is probably the most catastrophic failure you can induce by negligence. The entire engine as well as the transmission, driveshaft and possibly other drive components are...

Mass produced machines like Dell almost always turn this off by default, so if your CMOS battery is dead, it may have reverted to factory settings.

Answer to:
Why do you get that weird tingling sensation when you see something coming closer to your face?
A warning of impending impact.
The general thought is that the central sensation in the forehead when an object is close / moving in at close range is increased blood flow to the forehead in anticipation of impact with an object.
The frontal lobes/prefrontal cortex lies directly behind the forehead and is probably the most important part of the brain in regard to executive function...

Infection causes the following, usually within 24 hours of the actual invasion of bacteria:

You could cut up the alloy wings and insert piping, making a solar heater/boiler, but the state of art of electricity generation requires a clean room and specific materials.
You could therefore also make a solar heater/oven/boiler from an 1982 Oldsmobile.
An interesting question, however.

Multivitamins are definitely beneficial. You have to take them with food, of course, because your small intestine will not absorb the vitamin and mineral content beyond perhaps 5-10%.
Ask your FP doctor next time you see him/her. Certain nutrients like Folate and B12 can be immensely helpful for people under heavy stress such as those in high school.

ROY G BIV. Why doesn't the sky go through a "green shift" on its way from blue (day) to orange (sunset). ?
It does but it is very fast and very easy to miss. The horizontal atmosphere and the gases within favor a strong red and orange, and sometimes purple and blue sunset, but the green does occur prismatically. Do an open shutter of a sunset with a very small aperture and a light red filter and you'll see it, but it often lasts less than a minute.

1. As an adverb, it should be followed by a comma unless the last word in a sentence using multiple commas.
2. As a conjunction, no comma follows it no matter what.
3. As a conjunction beginning a sentence, never followed with a comma.
4. As an adverb beginning a sentence, always followed by a comma. (Technically poor grammar)

Nope.. and the word and the diet don't exist either.
Vegetarian means, in the strictest sense, no animal products (Vegan), if you look back to the British origin. It has now been modified to include people who eat dairy, which I don't agree with.

What's the difference between renting and leasing?
Renting is a contract term where you pay money to control a property (an apartment, for instance).
Leasing is where your money is applied to the purchase price of something. If you RENT an apartment, you LEASE a condominium, meaning that eventually you will actually own that piece of space. Renters never gain ownership of anything.

Have 20 bottles of good wine that i've had for 3 or 4 years. stored in a cool, shaded place with bottles standing upright. plan to drink all over next few years. should i continue to store the bottles upright or should i lay them on their sides?
The rule is to store them on their sides, as long as they are sealed with cork. I think this is just to prevent damage to the bottle, which has its weakest point at the base unless it's actually a blown-glass bottle. Get a cheap wood rack. If you have anything earlier than 1986 consider selling instead of drinking.

False Market.
The houses that are worth $150,000 and sell for $800,000 in California, for instance are created by an artificially inflated market because people will actually pay $800,000 for a $150,000 house.
This creates a floating situation where the housing market in these areas can -totally- collapse at any time, leaving all these folks who paid $800,000 for a $150,000 selling off at...

LEDs will probably eventually take over once they can adjust the doping (the part that emits the particular frequency of light). They simply are nearly indestructible if...

Why did Israel bomb a Syrian "military installation" on Sept 6th?
They've both been very, very tight-lipped about it. My personal guess would be that Syria was building what appeared to be a SAM site, but it looks much more intriguing to me, almost collusion.

Possible to get pregnant after giving a blow/handjob (w/ only precum if anything) on 2nd day of period and then touching several things, then about 15 mins later putting in a tampon but forgetting to wash hands beforehand? Pretty sure my hands were dry.
No way at all. 1. You shouldn't be fertile if menstruating and 2. Sperm dies immediately on contact with oxygen and/or when exposed to non-body temperature, so it's all got less than 1 minute, if not 5-10 seconds to live when exposed to open air.

What are your thoughts on the George W. Bush's fourth veto since taking office? He vetoed legislation that would have expanded a children's health insurance program.
I really don't know why, but I think it has to do with being generally against GOP / Conservative principles.. in other words, it helps the poor and the needy outside of a free market, so it's bad because Conservatives have to pay into it. Ironically the Iraq War is expected to cost more than 2T overall and did cost over 320B in 2006, so 35B is nothing. Read this carefully:

Dogs have a natural antibiotic substance in their saliva, so that is why they lick their wounds. Unknown compound at this time.

I'm not a big coffee drinker any more (used to drink 8-12 cups a day). These days I do cold press (1 cup coarse coffee:4 cups water at room temp for 12 hours), and I always put cinnamon in it. I even used to put cinnamon in hot coffee (powdered usually and sometimes [look away purists] a dash of almond extract]).
I also put sugar in now.. it's more of a confection than anything...

What is a reliable brand of 9mm pistol?
I still have to go with the M9/92FS, very adaptable, decock, very easy to field strip and can handle +P+ all day long. Any criticism of stopping power lies in the 9mm round itself, not the gun. The only flaw is that at extremely close range, a skilled person can technically grab the slide release button on the side and disarm the weapon. I have never heard of this happening in real life...

When you accept a call from an inmate at a detention center, the operator first says to you "You will be charged .85 cents for this call." My question is wether or not the charge is .85 cents per minute or if it's a flat .85 cents for the whole call?
It should be $0.85 for the entire call, but it does vary by detention center. Inmates need a prepaid account to make outgoing calls. Call the Sheriff's office for clarification.

Does KFC really mistreat their chickens? I was under the understanding that the business of raising chickens was contracted out. However, Peta seems to go after KFC
KFC does not itself but they buy from Yum! brands which buys from factory farms that debeak, declaw and overcrowd their poultry, and alter their life cycles using artificial lighting and hormones.

Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?
All glues have a solvent that keeps them liquid until they are exposed to components of air (oxygen, nitrogen, etc.)
Once the solvent is gone the glue hardens. It's the same with paint.
Some glues require binary mixture (such as epoxy) where there is a base and a hardening mixture, and the glue will not set until these are mixed in an ambient environment with air present.

If you could only choose one to help, what would it be " a starving child or a caged and suffering animal?
Interesting question, and laden with theory and no realism. Of course the answer is 'starving child'.. but why can't you come back and save the suffering animal? This is a similar question to 'Would you rather die or kill your friend?'
Purely there can be no answer other than 'starving child' since it is a loaded question.

The line is when the agent breaks the law, such as striking/assaulting a patron, using a weapon or worse. Despite common perception, club security are typically well trained. They...

I have a privet hedge that is about 2 metres high but much too wide. At present it is thick and lush on the outside, but not far inside, it is all twigs and big branches. What is the best way of cutting it back and when should it be done?
Privets should be pruned twice a year, once in early summer and once in late autumn. You can trim as much as you want off of them, basically. The really important thing is to flood the soil with a -lot- of water after pruning (as in a garden hose on full for an hour). I've had a house with dozens of them and they recover fine, but if you don't water, they can die very quickly.

It won't cause a problem but you'll have less power delivered to the subs because of the mismatched impedance.
You can bridge the two subs to 8 Ohms and get full power from them that way, but unless there's a common ground you may run into phase cancellation if you don't get your + and - right.

Why do doctors tell you that someone with hypoglycemia shouldn't eat sugar, starches, carbs, and greasy foods?
Because those foods cause an eventual crash after about 2-4 hours of eating causing blood glucose to be even lower than before eating those foods.
