Two nights ago, I got 7 mosquito bites. Last night, I got 5 more. My fiancee hasn't got any. My mom always told me that mosquitoes liked my sweet blood, but I researched it and found this.

Why do mosquitoes bite? Actually, it is only the females that bite and they do so out of necessity ratther than pleasure. Female mosquitoes seek blood when they are preparing to lay eggs as they need the nourishment to produce healthy offspring. The mosquito's normal diet of plant juices contains none of the proteins a female needs in order to produce her eggs. For that, she needs a concentrated source of protein, which, unfortunately for us, is blood.

If this is true, why do the mosquitoes only bite me?
Also, some of them have started to turn purple. It's acting like a spider bite, and I've never had bites do this.
This is the irritated one

If you received a dead turtle with nail holes on it's feet and agony on his face what would you say?

This happened to me when I was young. I hated it. My aunt meant well because she thought I would like it. I had a turtle collection (not real ones). I was afraid to even touch it. I can't remember what I said. It was polite, but inside I wanted to scream. What would you have done?

Car racing: interesting sport?

I dont want to pick on car racing as a sport but it seems that ESPN only picks clips where it shows either the winner celebrating, cars crashing or the last few laps of the race.

Granted it takes skill to drive like they do, what excitment is there for viewers?

Is there a machine that measures how hard you punch? can I make a simple one that mesures over 1000 pounds?

I was watching myth busters and they were kicking a force plate...can one be made with simple materials that mesures in the thousands?
I was watching national Geographic fight science and boxers were punching at over 900 pounds others were at over striking at over 2000 pounds…so the machine would have to measure in the thousands…

Does anyone know how to make the Sweet Tea from a restaurant that has D in it?

For some reason I asked if anyone knew how to make the sweet tea from a particular restaurant and it got removed. Anyway, the restaurant is a fast food place, that sells seafood and has a big D somewhere in the name, that shouldn't be too hard to figure out. Anyway if you know that would be much appreciated.

Doing a study on Fearing the Lord?

I am trying to set up a study on the fear of the Lord, I need to ask how does someone teach on the fear of God the right way. I know that if your were taught to fear God the wrong way when your young it can hurt a child in a long run..we teach them God is Love and then you tell them you have to fear God. I have found a couple scriptures on fear that if you would like share your thought on them and if you have any that would be better to explain please let me know..All are welcome to answer but it is mostly for believers to answer. Thanks

Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.

Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

can you be charged with murder if there is no body?

i always thought that a person couldnt be charged with murder if there was no body because technically they could still be alive or they may have evidence on them linking to someone else. surely there wouldnt be any proof unless there is a body???
