What sorts of urban legends or consensus myths affect the way people operate, hindering them needlessly?
Like having no 13th floor in a building for example or disallowing the number 666 on credit cards.

Seriously, do your own little fire
experiment at home.
Make a little steel bridge or a steel
structure, and overload it so much with
bricks or dead weights, to the point
where it is just about to give way and
completely collapse... Go on... like this:
Use a 2 or 3 mm thick steel bar or flat,
you can buy this from any hardware
store. Hold it up at both ends with bricks
at both ends like the picture below:
...........BBBB
...........BBBB
__________________
BB.........fire........BB
BB.........fire........BB
(B = Brick, ignore the dots)
The steel bridge is indicated by ______
Now use steel or aluminium baking tray
underneath the bridge, filled with jet
fuel, or kerosene, and light it up with a
burning newspaper.
Burn it for as long as you like in open
air, and see if your steel bridge will
collapse due to being weakened by
exposure to air fire.
Seriously, try this experiment at home!
Use as much fuel as you like.
Does it collapse?

And, is changing his positions on abortion and gay rights?
I liked him because he stodd firm on his own personal beleifs. I was possibly going to vote fro him if he was the Republican nominee, but, it doesn't look like it now.
I also was dispointed in John McCain for going to Liberty University and speak at that religious wacks -Jery Falwell's university.
Are there any politicans out there who are true to themselves? If so, let me know, and I will suport them. No Ron Paul. Mark Gravel - I like.

OK, a question on a different board got me to thinking . . . Those cars on that bridge that collapsed . . .is the damage going to be covered under Collision or Comp? What about the cars that got hit by other cars on the way down? Does that make a CAR a falling object?
I haven't thought about this too hard, but I'd be interested in hearing what other people think, AND WHY!!

My mother In-law baby sits my one year old and she gets bored. She babysits at my home once a week and some times more. She's a really social person so I think sitting around is not her thing. We don't have phone she can use just has her cell so not sure if she can use that, but the worst of it is she cleans and moves things around my house and it drives me crazy i told her how i felt and she still does it. It is embarrassing that she does things like that. She always has to be in control. I feel like she only baby sits because she has too and not that she wants to. What grandmother wouldn't want to babysit there grandchild? I need help. What can keep her busy while babysitting??? Help PLEASE---Note this is her first grandchild and only grandchild.

I get set off at my girlfriend for stupid things and I will yell at her and she doesnt like it, I DONT LIKE IT either, how do I stop this I love her to death...I also get mad easily at little things and blow through the roof. What can I do to relax and not let these little things bother me? And what can i do to treat my girlfriend with the respect she deserves???
