In chapter one of Harry Potter and The Scorcerer's Stone, Professor McGonagall is speaking with Professor Dumbledore and she states this: "These people will never understand him! He'll be famous - a legend - I wouldn't be surprised if today was known as Harry Potter day in the future - there will be books written about Harry - every child in our world will know his name!"

Did J.K. Rowling predict the success of her own character and books?

My boyfriend keeps accusing me of lying just because i can't remember my past crystal clear. For example: I wrote letters to a guy i dated 2 years ago and he said i lied to him because i never told him about it.

Ok, this is a strange one.

To you what are the requisites of something living:

Say a computer program was able to learn and adapt, it would be advanced but not alive.

If it was then able to do that and make sponteneous decisions based on reason, would it then be alive?

If it could do all of the above, and question its existence, had will to protect itself, and felt compelled to reproduce, would it have to go further?

Were does "Life" begin, can it even be defined in terms of awareness?

What would you do if you were permenantly brain dead. And I mean permanently. You are brain dead, do you still want to be alive?

Maybe I should end my life, before I go into that situation. I don't want to live anymore, maybe I should go on to heaven right now.

Hello all. My friend asked me this hisory trivia question, dealing with the meeting of the three rivers (Ohio river, Allegheny, and Monongahela river) and what that current city is (where the three rivers meet). If that makes sense. I looked online, and I found that maybe Muse, Pennsylvania is that current city, but can't find anything else. Any answers, ideas, etc? This is just driving me crazy!! Thanks!

I'm starting to get into taking photos (usually I just draw).
I would love someone to give me feedback on my pet bird photos... what you like about them, what you dislike. Any tips would be great too, thank you!
I use a digital camera, just a little Olympus. Some of the photos are tweaked in Photoshop.

many Experts,can work to improve and even better .

How is it that the true wise
Appear as fools
How is it that the true rich
Appear as poor
What trickery of God is this
That the king be born in a manger
Why does the Lord
Sit with the low and humble
Why should the Almighty
Allow himself to be nailed to a tree
Why does he that sits upon the throne
In the heaven of heavens
And control the atoms
And sets the stars
And knows tomorrow
And dwells in eternity
Why does he consider me?
The Wind told me once
Your are a stranger
That sojourns in a strange land
Work, while it is day
For after that
There is a place prepared for you
How is it that of all the powers in the world
Mercy and Love are the greatest

Today in the Drama Book Shop, Times Square, NYC, a woman was searching for a monologue about a woman named Grace who was bothered that her husband of many years didn't realized that she shaved and pencilled in her eyebrows! The woman said it was an excellent monologue, but she couldn't find it, and didn't know which play it came from.

Do you?

If every humans genetic structure was instantly changed to give them the max abilities, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, etc (Making us FAR more then we are now with many extra/heightened senses, abilities and so on that we can not even begin to imagine in our current states) how to you think this would change the world in which we live (Heightened abilities at max for both good and evil)?
