Would a 5 gallon heater do?<br /><br />For a ten gallon tank you should get a 50 watt heater with a thermostat attached, unless the room is really cold in which case you will need a bigger one. You can&#039;t rely on the lights to heat the tank since you should be switching them off at night, plus they won&#039;t switch off when the...

Is this normal? <br /><br />Yeah, it is pretty normal for teenagers to sometimes have homosexual fantasies but it doesn&#039;t mean you are gay. If you are curious and you want to watch gay porn, go ahead, satisfy your curiosity. I hate to sound patronising but you will probably grow out of it because all the raging...

Why is that?<br /><br />The old &#039;scientists have proved that a bumblebee can&#039;t fly&#039; story is just that- a story. It&#039;s sort of a scientific joke that&#039;s been going on for years. The origins of it can be found here- http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20040911/mathtrek.asp Sat, 09 Sep 2006 01:56:29 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/91161 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/91160 Is it common for two "straight" guys to have sexual encounters with each other?<br /><br />Sure, it&#039;s called experimentation! Lots of people have done it before, usually in their late teens/early twenties but it can happen any time. I think guys tend to talk about it less, but I know at least one of my male friends has &#039;tried it&#039; with another guy.

If I feed it (or knock on the wall), it becomes active again and swims normally. Is it sleeping?<br /><br />It sounds like a swimbladder problem to me too, you can get over-the-counter medication for this at most pet stores. It can be caused by a number of things, the main cause is an internal bacterial infection which can be cleared up by meds, but if your goldfish is a fancy goldfish (ie has double...

Here&#039;s a link explaining a little more about them- http://www.leyhunter.com/begin/be7.htm . Other people soon picked up on the gag and started making their own crop circles, although apparently there are a...

Hobbit gossip and rumours can be found here- http://www.theonering.net/perl/newsview/8/1064188684 Mon, 04 Sep 2006 14:21:18 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/89699 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/89695 In which countries is smoking dope on the streets completely legal?<br /><br />Yep, it is legal to smoke on the streets in all of the Netherlands, not just Amsterdam. Not many people do though, most stay in coffee shops. Cannabis laws in the Netherlands are very hazy (arf) so if you are going there you should read up on them first.

I wore them when I was about 12 or 13 (when grunge was &#039;in&#039;) and now people are wearing them again. They may go out of fashion soon but I bet they&#039;ll be back in another 10-15 years.

I told him he lied to me, he said he did not lie & that omissions are not lies. I believe omissions are betrayals. Am I wrong? Did he betray our friendship<br /><br />It depends what things they are. If it is superficial stuff like appearance etc, then it is no big deal. Not telling people stuff isn&#039;t lying, sometimes it is more polite to just not say anything. If it is important stuff he is keeping from you, I would be more upset then, but cut him...

I missed 3years of high school. I am now 16. I got G grades :( Don't you have to know subjects such as art,religion,poetry,history etc.to be a Goth?<br /><br />No, you don&#039;t have to be top of the class to be a goth. All you have to do is wear goth clothing, listen to goth music and hang around with other goths. Goth is not a private members club or a secret society, it does not have an entrance exam or an initiation ceremony, it&#039;s just a style...

I think this qualifies as an evolution of a physical trait- http://observer.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,6903,673103,00.html Sun, 03 Sep 2006 08:14:18 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/89314 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/89299 Why do people take the ratings on answers so seriously? it's just fun to me.<br /><br />Sometimes it is annoying when you do actual research for a question or write a really long answer only for someone to say it&#039;s rubbish.

It&#039;s not a very nice thing to do, especially since he knows that you like him, and I assume your friend does too. I would let them know how upset you are about it and hopefully they will stop.

I always do.<br /><br />I&#039;m like Hungryguy, I rate answers that I think are good but tend to ignore answers that are a bit off, unless they are bad advice (generally medical stuff). I very rarely use the &#039;somewhat&#039; and &#039;not useful&#039; ratings or the spam one. I try to rate all the good answers I...

I also had unprotected sex from the 15th-29th. Is there a possibility I might be pregnant?<br /><br />If you&#039;ve had unprotected sex, there is always a possibility you could be pregnant. Depending on your cycle, it looks like you were having unprotected sex during your most fertile time. I would wait and see if you get your period, then get a pregnancy test if you are late.

Why doesn't the person who does the sucking die from the venom?<br /><br />You just saw Snakes on a Plane too, huh? Good movie, but like most movies it takes a few liberties with the truth. You shouldn&#039;t cut the skin or suck out the venom with your mouth. Here&#039;s some advice on what to do if you or a friend is bitten by a snake (on a plane or otherwise)...

Why aren't the races more popular and gaining in interest? <br /><br />I think there are a few factors, one being a greater awareness of animal welfare. I worked in a bookies for 2 years and I only ever saw a couple of horses die, but a lot of animal rights protesters will have you believe it is far worse. A lot of people don&#039;t agree with using animals for...

Fish are easy to rehome, just take it back to the pet shop. There&#039;s no excuse for killing an animal just because you&#039;re bored of it.

I heard toothpaste can be used as one. Is this true? <br /><br />I have used crushed up soluble asprin before, it is good as a mask but I wouldn&#039;t use it every day. Just crush up one pill and add enough water to make it into a paste, then spread it over any oily areas. Leave until it&#039;s dry, then wash off with warm water.

As Bob said, it has no basis in science and is purely a superstition. Thinking about it logically, how can someone&#039;s birthday affect their personality? I think personality is determined by a combination of nature and nurture. These lists of star sign...

Now he's there and mad at me saying I ruined his trip because I'm not with him and he can't have any real fun since he's a "good guy." What shoul<br /><br />I&#039;m a bit worried about what his definition of &#039;real fun&#039; is, I&#039;m assuming he went to Vegas to gamble and I don&#039;t see why he can&#039;t do that without you. Plus, you didn&#039;t want to go, so you didn&#039;t. I think it is unreasonable of him to be mad at you for not...

Even with daily water changes. I'm not overfeeding and not too many fish. I put a piece of coral in the tank today to try and buffer the ph from dropping again. Advis<br /><br />I would get hold of some commercial buffering products, it does sound like your water is not buffered very well. Do you have a lot of plants? At night, plants release CO2 which causes the pH to drop, but it should not be dropping by a whole point. It sounds like the reserve alkalinity is being...

He puts the bubbles everywhere, not just in one spot. Is there something that is confusing him or am I just being paranoid?<br /><br />Try putting some floating plants in. Bettas and gouramis use these in the wild to help bind the nest together.

If prostitution is legal where you are, you may as well do that because as Joe said at least you will get paid. If it is not legal where you live, you will not only be putting yourself at risk to STIs and unwanted pregnancies, but you&#039;ll also be breaking the law,...

Firstly because he is from my area of the UK (around Huntingdon) and secondly because of all the political reforms he made. There is a statue of him outside the houses of parliament because he had such a huge influence on parliament as we know it. Here&#039;s his wikipedia...

You can get an estimate of the... Fri, 25 Aug 2006 14:32:55 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/86785 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/86777 I have my betta fish in a 6.7L tank. Is this is a good size?<br /><br />No, it&#039;s not big enough. He may be a small fish that is able to breath air, but keeping the water quality stable in a tank that size will be nearly impossible. For a betta, I would recommend the following: A 5 (UK) gallon tank (about 6 US gallons) A 25 watt heater A sponge air powered...

The only times I see him are at football and in school but I am afraid i would get in trouble if I did it at those places. What should I do?<br /><br />Well, you aint going to like my advice, but don&#039;t punch him. You will end up getting in worse trouble anyway, so what&#039;s the point? It won&#039;t solve anything and he will probably end up wanting to punch you as well. Avoid him if you can, and if you can&#039;t then report him to a...

Losing weight through sweat is not permanent weight loss, it is very temporary. You also run the risk of dehydration and loss of electrolytes like John said. Exercise and a sensible diet is a...

Make sure they are all the same colour though. Hot pink would look good, what with 80s stuff being so in fashion at...

Is there an easy way to tell them this?<br /><br />Sure, it will affect them, but depending on your behaviour it can be negative or maybe even positive. My parents are divorced and although it was difficult at the time (I was about 11 or 12) I really think it was better for me and my older brother in the long run. I think the best way to tell...

Just a plain, natural pond with no chemicals?<br /><br />Well 10 gallons is not enough for 2 full grown goldfish. They need at least 10 gallons per fish to be healthy long term. Personally I think single tail goldfish (common, shubunkins and comets) are better off in a pond anyway as they can grow to a foot long so often ended up stunted in aquaria. ...

Is he just naturally a grump?<br /><br />Bettas have a tendency to be a bit grumpy, they are naturally aggressive fish (hence why they are called siamese fighting fish!). If he&#039;s building a bubble nest then that&#039;s a sign you are taking good care of him, so well done for that. So yeah, I would say that&#039;s just his...

She never started bleeding this early. It started as spotting (little bit) today it was heavy. Also this time she has stomach pains, hungry all the time like a preg women.
