If nurture creates more resisting current, it isn't so simple as waves of opposite amplitude canceling each other out. If more opposing resistance than conducive amplification is felt, can nurture ever be the reason a person is intelligent?

During his time "on the run", he worked as a dishwasher; fruit picker; lumberjack; tennis coach; and ski instructor. After 40 years, he turned himself in. Could this be the US's most unusual "illegal immigrant" ever?

If someone offered you eternal life, would you take it? I think I would, just because of my insane curiosity to discover where the human race is headed. My biggest fear of dying lies not with what is beyond Earth, but rather with what is left on Earth. What if I die, and then one second later they invent teleportation? Wouldn't you want to find out if Judgement day really occurs, and be able to first handedly stand on Earth in the midst of all the chaos? *sighs* Or maybe I should just try and get out of Kansas more often... Anyways, please give your opinions about it. Thanks!

Does any other company make a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens other than Canon. I have an EOS Digital Rebel XTi and I want to upgrade my lens but can only find that Canon has a lens of this sort. The lens needs to be at least a 200mm zoom with a constant f/2.8. Thanks.
