Why are board games so unrealistic? I've seen quite a few board games. Most seem to attempt to be a diversion or entertainment.

Why are text books at the college level so expensive to buy and worth nearly nothing when students sell them back? I believe that it is a scam. The publishers "update" a bit here and a bit there and call it a new edition. They also may change the problems. the end result is the students almost have to buy the new edition, because the older used books don't have problems and text in use in the new edition. The end result is that for the college crowd, used text books don't have much value.

Engineers: How did you make it through college? Ive lost my motivation to study, any pointers? I am an engineer. To me part of the issue you may be facing is that you don't see what use the courses you're studying will be for you when you get a job. Actually, unless you already have a job, no one knows specifically what you'll need to know. No one can say for certain what opportunities will exist when you graduate. All the colleges can do is give you the opportunity to learn...

Why do some answers on Answerbag appear in a different font? I hadn't seen this. I looked at the oldest question on AB I could find, http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1, and noticed a few of the answers appear to be in courier font. I would guess that this might be accomplished by adding html coding to your answer. Actually, it is more readable if a uniform font is used, with good paragraph organization, sentence construction and grammar.

Answer to:
Is Thanksgiving a religious holiday? Thanksgiving's basis is to give thanks for what we have. Some may attribute that to God, others to hard work, yet others to dumb luck. I believe that its origin is not religious based, but thankful for having survived another year. Accordingly, I believe it is lesser a religious holiday than a lets celebrate that we're still here holiday.

Will you watch the 2009 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade? I doubt it. If I'm changing channels when it's on, I may stop and watch a couple minutes.

I also marched in parades in a Marching band in HS and College (although this isn't really noteworthy).

Can our HOA put a line item in our 2010 budget to make up for home owners/builders they feel will be uncollectible assessments in 2010? The line item is $17517.54 in uncollectible assessments that will be paid by the home owners that pay their dues. I'm not a lawyer so I may not have the correct answer here: Some HOA are formed after a subdivision was started, or were not formed "correctly" and are not on the property title. As a result, when you buy into that subdivision, you are not legally obligated to joining the HOA and paying dues. Bottom line, if the HOA is on your property title, they can force you to pay, if...

Do the English not know how to make a good scone? It is available in any food store here. I checked with my wife and she told me that a common substitute for buttermilk is about 1 cup of milk and 1 teaspoon of vinegar. She also said she wasn't sure of the amount of vinegar though.

How come my feedback keeps telling me I have comments but their just the old ones I've already read? I think sometimes you may get feedback on an old question or answer. So old that it doesn't show up on your feedback list. You only get 5 pages of feedback. Or for some reason the feedback is lost for a while and then found when it is too old to show up. Regardless, mark all as read should reset the comments indicator.

The Royal College of Nursing has dropped its opposition to assisted suicide, instead taking a neutral stance - what do you think? I don't know what the feeling is about assisted suicide in the UK, but if it's like the US, there is a lot of controversy. A lot of people in the US are opposed to it period. I think that as long as the person is terminally ill and would die a painful or prolonged death, if the person would rather get it over with, why not.

Answer to:
I've just heard the most satisfying and majestic performance of Beethoven's fifth symphony. It's by the Munich Phil. Orch. and Celibidache conducting. Have you heard it? Would you rate it as the greatest performance of this work? I haven't heard this work. I found this recording of Beethoven's Egmont Overture and another of Beethoven's Ninth Sym. If these are any indicator of the quality of Celibidache's work, I'm sure that his Beethoven's Fifth is excellent. The classification as best of any music is tough to assign since it is the listener opinion and only to applicable to what the...

Is it safe to access your email in box at an internet cafe? I ask this because I've been warned that I might invite viruses or hackers. As long as you have an internet email account with a reputable antivirus program I'd think you'd probably be ok. I think the major issue would be the risk of someone having left a key logger or some other spyware program on the kiosk PC, so I'd suggest restricting your use of an Internet Cafe PC to email and not any other sensitive accounts that you may wish to sign on and use.

Are round houses inherently more energy efficient than rectangular houses? I know someone that built a geodesic dome house from a kit about 35 years ago. It was very energy efficient.
