Arts & Humanities - 23 July 2007

It seems that books are continuously revised to appeal to the current world. Old English becomes new English. Is this really right? The same is done with music. Old music is changed to appeal to a new audience/ to make money. I guess we do it to all things including paintings etc. Someone will paint the Mona Lisa with a moustache or grin on her face. Sometimes the new version smothers the original. Like processed food which has so many additives art has becomed 'processed' too. Any thoughts on this.

If you share 100% with your sibling, then you would have 1/2 the same amount of blood with your 1st cousin since 2/4 grandparents are the same and then 1/4 the same blood with your 2nd cousin since 2/8 great-grandparents are the same?

I'm sort of confused, and I'm sure I'm confusing you all as well, but somebody explain exactly how much blood you share with your 1st cousin and so on.

Okay I have finally watched the film. One thing it doesn't do is explain WHY does it work. If any of you believe in this, can you explain it to me why does it work? The science of it...I mean. Thanks.

I feel a little lonely now haha even though i have a ton of friends and people who love me, but these were the first books I ever truely loved, and I grew up with them! Just had to get my thoughts out there, are you guys happy with the ending? it's left me a little too empty.

Only serious answers please.>> If you've taken the time to watch the multiple video clips available on the internet...doesn't the whole sequence seem strange? I mean first of all an opened top vehicle?? How often does that happen? Second, where are the secretservice men? Do you see any of them around him at all during the shots? They are supposed to be human shields. Third, why doesn't the record state the fatal shot came from the front- its so obvious the bullet exits from the back of the head! Fourth and final observation. The car is going like 4MPH while he getting shot at..after the fatal shot it speeds off. I find it hard to believe a guy like Lee H. could "outsmart" the gov. What was Kennedy planning??

She's definitely an evil character, but did she actually enjoy harming others, or did she just do it because she had to?
