Check out this question about how eyebrows evolved:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Av__bdevs3xXXZUL8fuKhgXpy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20060619202612AAjHzga

One person said they evolved for non-verbal communication, several said it was protection against sweat, some said light absorbtion there were many other answers & few of them had sources.

Read the different answers! First of all - this just goes to show that 90% of the theories associated with evolution are just people pulling crap that sounds good out of their behind.

So 2 questions:
1) How evolution can be true if there are so many contradictory theories about how and why it happened?

2) How exactly did eyebrows prevent death? Sure, if we didn't have them we might have to wipe a dust particle out of our eyes more often (I don't think so b/c I never find dust trapped in MY eyebrows) - but how is this going to be naturally selected?

If it's true overall it must be true in the particulars.

Okay, this isn't just some stupid PETA-bashing thing. I know it sounds horrible, but there are distinct simlarities between PETA and the nazis. They both have crazy ideals that they expect all others to live up to and agree with. Also, and this may shock some people, but they BOTH want to destroy that which they think is "imperfect." We all know that nazis killed millions of Jews, but what everyone might NOT know is that one of PETA's goals, for a LONG time, has been the total eradication of domesticated animals. The worst part is that they don't see what's wrong with it. Knowing this, doesn't PETA seem to be quite similar to the nazis?

Just so you know, I didn't just ask this for the heck of it. It was my idea for my English AP research paper.

I say crisco and slow cook it with salt and pepper added to the cooking chicken. It should take about 20 minutes per side and she cooks it in about 10 minutes. It is always tough and not very good. I love fried chicken and would like for her to have a good receipe to work with.

I work at in a company in the UK. I've built up six weeks (30 working days) holiday that I 'should' take before the end of the calender year. My company is asking that I take only 20 working days and also stipulating when I take these, then carry over 10 days into the next year. Is this legal? Do I have the 'reasonable' right to demand these holidays when I want before the year ends? Can I argue that I want all 30 days before the end of the year?

At present, they're ignoring all my questions or requests for time off and simply don't appear to want to give me an official answer.

Ideas?

My fiance and I were making plans for our wedding when we found out we were pregnant ... so now, with the pregnancy 17 weeks along, we have decided to post pone the wedding because we dont want people to think we got married because of the baby. Would anyone else postpone the wedding because of their pregnancy, or would you just go ahead with it? I cant help but feel this might be a little selfish somehow.

1st of all thats how much the surge was. So all that does is put the troop level back to where it was a few months ago. 2nd of all most of the 30,000 are troops who by the grace of God will have finally ended their 2 and 4 year enlistments and as expected will refuse to continue. Though it wouldnt suprise me if bush forces them to stay past their enlistment as he has to many others so far!

Abrahamic religions seem to feel that these practices are evil and these peoples should be assimilated into western religion and culture. Atheists might feel that their practices are superstitious and ignorant. What do you think?

yes she is a pop tart and not in as good as shape as when she was younger. But my god she just had two babies in like a year and a half.. Most women wished they looked that good after just one. Maybe she shouldn't have worn that outfit, but other then that she wasn't that bad and NO I do not listen to that kind of music just was commenting on it...

Okay, I asked this in General but should have asked it here--

If you leave a alone dog in hot a car even for a few minutes, you get a hefty fine. If the dog dies, you go to court for animal abuse. This is right-- animals shouldn't suffer.

But this lady leaves her 2 year old child in a 150 degree car for eight hours, the poor baby dies, and the woman doesn't even get in trouble? The people on the news say that this "mother" suffered enough-- but this sets a precedent for every other death that happens this way. "Let your kid die in a car, and it's fine with the law. That's just an accident-- not negligent or bad."

Also...how can any good mother forget that they have a living, breathing child right behind them in the seat? If you actually care about your kids and love them-- how does one let this happen?

How can this woman get away with burning her child to death in a car? How can anyone forget a child in a car for eight hours? Why is she not serving many years in jail?

he hasn't taken it in 2 months and we're worried that he's going to get heart worms soon, does anyone have any ideas of how we can get him to eat it? he's really a small dog, he only weighs 7 or 8 pounds and he just turns his nose up at it whenever we try and give it to him at the beginning of the month, if anyone has any good ideas you'll get 10 points in the morning, thanks.
