Arts & Humanities - 14 July 2006

I'm looking for some options for the talent show coming up, and I have more options for people to accompany me on piano than guitar. Something moderate speed probably, maybe alt. rock? I have a pretty wide vocal range, but my strongest is in the middle range. Thanks :)

Does anyone recognize this hallmark on the bottom of my figurine?

It is a capital "N" in blue ink with a crown above it - the crown has 5 points on it.

The figurine is three young children - a taller girl in the middle holding a swaddled child with a younger boy next to her. The detail is amazing - the toes of the shoes are worn away so you can see the toes of the children. I would say that the piece is Bavarian or German, maybe Austrian - though that may just be the style of the piece and not indicative of where it's from.

Thanks.

"Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood." Ralph Waldo Emerson. Which lesson in

life have you learned by living? What you are told to do is not near as effective as what you have learned to do. Words do not have the impact of experience. Something you read may click, but something you have lived through, bitter or sweet, will stay with you forever.

Why did God create ticks, fleas, sharks, and Texas?

If you're going to answer with the Adam and Eve thing, did the animals sin too-or don't they count? And no, I'm not in anyway associated with PETA nor do I wish to be.

Question to Agnostics...?

Why do you have the instinct to live? If there's no God, no post-mortal life, then why do you have the will and instinct to preserve your life? Is it to be happy? Well, if when you're dead that's it, no more, you wouldn't even exist to notice not being happy would you? Seems to me death shouldn't matter to you if you wouldn't exist on the other end of life to know what you may have missed the chance of experiencing by dying. It seems to me there is a gut instinct within you, despite what you choose to SAY you believe, that says there IS something after this life and you would have the chance to regret losing your life earlier than you think you should have. Hopefully you're able to understand exactly what it is I'm trying to say. I'm curious to see what your response is to this type of logic.

can science(reason) explains these questions?

Where did the universe come from? When and how did it all begin? How did the universe develop into its present form? Why is there a universe at all? What is it that makes existence here and now possible? Why is there something rather than nothing? Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?And other questions about the relations between mind and matter ?free will? the nature of consciousness? the forces that caused the big bang - or even what came before the big bang? we should believe our reason and mathematics anyway,why?the limits of reason? the limits of mathematics?if science can explains these questions,I will ask why they are at all comprehensible?why?hehe,why exists answer,why exists these questions,why ask?

financing for book?

I would like to write a book about a rather infamous crime that happened in the '70. although I am acquainted with a few people either involved or affected by the crime, the project would still require a great deal of investigation. Are there any publishers who will pu t up money for such a book, based on a written proposition and/or synopsis?

Why do we not refer The Cold War as WWIII?

It was a world war. Russia supplied communist regimes and governments, U.S. supplied anti- communit governments and regimes. Russia and the U.S. never had a miltary attack, but the countries we supplied those weapons fought are wars, "proxy wars".
