Seems to me that they're regularly spouting off numbers that could only come from breaking out the ruler on their guys or repeating what the dude told them (and I don't think most of them broke out the ruler.)

I have 4 neon tetras and 2 algae eaters. One of the neon tetras has lost some color (not as brilliant as before) and he's twitching. He twitches in one spot for awhile and swims (twitching) and goes back to twitching in one spot. My husband takes care of the tank all the time. We've had them for almost 5-6 months I believe. None of the other fish are doing this, just the one tetras.

Potential answerers will know the following info, but I'm including it so that curious readers will know what we're talking about...

Basically, there are three services on the Tokaido Shinkansen (the main high-speed line in Japan): Kodama, Hikari and Nozomi. Kodama stops at all stations en route, Hikari stops at important stations, and Nozomi only serves the largest cities.

All three services run on the same line, but Nozomi can complete the Tokyo-Nagoya journey in 1.5 hours whereas Kodama takes almost 3 hours.

So my question is... how can they run on the same track without crashing into each other?

There are similar track-sharing patterns in Europe, but the headway between trains is longer. For example, there are 2 trains per hour between London and Manchester, but up to 13 per hour between Tokyo and Nagoya!!

Im very curious with these questions and they are on my mind :)

Theres a little bit for each type of paranormal enthusiast and the non-believers!

Have you ever lived in a haunted house but learned to deal with it?

For those who haven't had a paranormal experience in their home:

1.do you agree with someone selling a home and saying it's doesn't contain paranormal activity, but it does and they just lie to the people they are selling it to? (i know it is illegal to sell a home with that , just want opinions)

For the other Paranormal Investigators:
1.What is the most legit piece of evidence you have recieved from an investigation

For the Skeptics: ANSWER BOTH OF THE FOLLOWING
1. What do you need proof in order for ghosts to exisit.
2.Where is the/your proof they don't?

~Please do not come on here saying ghosts don't exist if you do please answer questions one and two under for the skeptics~
