I'm looking more for an honest answer from a creationist but feel free to chip in regardless of your beliefs or opinions~

We have 23 pairs of chromosomes while apes have 24. The visible reason we have 23 is because in our ancestry, 2 pairs of chromosomes of an ancestral ape mutated and became fused together to create a single pair of chromosomes that we see in our DNA.

Now you might think, this is purely speculation because the two pairs of chromosomes looks slightly similar. You'd be wrong.

Chromosomes have caps on each end called telomeres that are used to prevent data loss and also function as 'countdown timers' for a cell's lifespan.

Now, in our apparently fused pair of chromosomes, if you check at the point where the first non-fused chromosome ends in apes, you find two sets of telomere caps - one ending the current chromosome and one beginning the next. This is undeniable proof that the chromosome was originally two parts.

Hi

I'm booked on a holiday to Ibiza with a crowd of friends, including the ex-boyfriend, who hurt me a lot.

I changed my accommodation plans to stay with the majority of the group at the villa, whilst the ex stays in an apartment with a couple of other friends.

I'm really torn in what to do. If I go, it's going to drain me financially, and it'll be very awkward to put on a face of niceness to someone who was a complete control freak and treated me badly. However, if I do go, I get to spend the holiday of a lifetime with my friends. I went last year and had an amazing time.

Should I not go, save the money, put it towards my travelling funds for next year, save myself any potential heartbreak and not end up in a mess recovering afterwards.

OR, do I throw caution to the wind, have a great time with my friends and not be regretting missing a holiday with 30 of my mates?

I can't decide.

In my opinion, I believe Washington is far too corrupt to adequately serve the American people. To this end, what if we changed the requirements for elected officials to eliminate the financial and politcal motivations.

Here's a start:

- Create a process which allows anyone to run for office, not just those with money. For starters, eliminate all campaign contributions and fund the campaigns from the government campaign fund, controlled by candidate requirements.
- No income (including non-cash gifts) from outside sources while elected.
- Eliminate the political parties and make candidates stand on their own values.
- Upon being elected, the person must turn over all assets to the government (including cash, stocks, bonds, etc.). After their term, they would receive a pension, sized according to position.

I believe this would be a start to getting true civil servants in our government and eliminate the corruption.

Thoughts? More ideas?

I had all four of my impacted wisdom teeth removed a week ago Tuesday. I found out last Monday that the bottom two were dry sockets, so now I have two holes on either side of my gums that hurt like CRAZY! When I went to the dentist and they told me about the dry sockets they flushed them and then placed a small round piece of packing in it. They did this on both sides but one of my gums hasn't healed completely and has a larger hole then the other side. When I cleaned that side out this morning the 2nd time I flushed it the small piece of packing they put in the came out. It doesn't hurt bad now but it hurt a little bit afterwards. Is this supposed to happen?? They didn't say anything about that happening?? I am kind of worried...... I know it would make sense to go back to the dentist however, I am at work until 5pm. So I am just wondering if anyone else experienced this?

I know they said the air is fine and they have been testing since yesterday but I am still worried. I work around 30th street & Park and when I got off the train this morning, I smelled the fumes. I am waiting until 9:30 to call my doctor to ask if I should be around this area but I am curious to see what you guys think. Are there any pregnant women who work in the area, who didn’t go to work because of the explosion or are worried like myself? Who knows what caused that explosion, sad to say but I don’t trust our government 100% and it is scaring me. Should I be worried or am I just over reacting?

In order to check, I decided to quit dairy products for three days. I feel so much lighter (i mean my tummy). I feel less full or bloated in the morning. Usually after eating or drinking something dairy, I feel the symbtoms after 30 minutes, even if I drink coffee or tea. Could I be lactose intolerant?
