Science & Mathematics - 12 July 2006

Okay, this is very strange, but this morning my son killed a roach. It was one of the smaller redish ones that dont fly. When he squished it with a shoe, it died, but something started to come out of its "butt". I thought maybe it was feces.. but it kept coming out.. it ended up being about 6 times as long as the bug itself. It finally came all the way out of the dead roach, and started moving around like a snake. I mean curling itself up and "slithering" around... until after about 2 or 3 minutes it also died. What could this have possibly been? Do bugs get tapeworms? It was the strangest thing I have ever seen, and it really freaked me out!!

If matter and energy are connected, and cannot be destroyed, only changed. Why can't holodeck characters come into the real world where food from the replicators can appear out of thin air with substance with nutrional value?

I just thought this would be a fun, but inquiring question. I'm not a science guy, just a trek fan..... and I don't do the dress up thing..... just thought I'd make that clear...... no offence ment to those that do.

Any thoughts on this?

Live Long and Prosper!

Why don't they learn, in evolutionary terms, that there is not much to be gained, and possibly a lot to lose, by buzzing round people's heads?

I think there is enough facts to support the theory (I have read book on it too so don't tell me to read a book). Darwinism is supported just as thoroughly too. So why not give people a choice?

Most things get denser (smaller) when cooled. Why not H2O?
