MY cat licking his ba lls infront of me all the time, Orangutang-a-langs peel bananas with their toes; fish show off their swim bladders by swimming under water...

What other examples can you think of and WHAT SHOULD WE DO ABOUT IT?

Quiet enjoying this, a morning workout to get everyone awake.

I am standing on top of a 1,250m high tower, but suddenly it disappears. After stating, ‘Damn, this could be bad’, I plummet to Earth. 16s later, I hit the ground, but what speed am I going?

Ignore Air Friction, and Wind effects.

As always, this problem is solvable by our Geniuses out there.

1400 hours today, as it is a pencil cruncher, but you do need to say how you got the answer. No marks for just the answer.

Don’t worry. As luck would have it, I was wearing my super trainers today, so I will survive the drop, and will return on Monday to provide the next workout.

I am a christian and I dont want to live forever in heaven!!!

I want to goto heaven for maybe 20-100 years and just die forever not to exist, I dont want everlasting life.

These pastors and my own mother tell me i Will burn in hell for eternity for not having a mind of my own.

I just dont want to live forever.

I dont want to goto hell, but i dont want everlasting life either!!

Why would God force me to stay in heaven for eternality if i dont want to? Why cant i just die in peace?

Okay so i got this new torch... portable... pencil like... very practical...
So i find it's 1st victim : a penny, to test the torch's temperature.
To my suprise, the penny goes red pretty fast, and melt... and then bursts out into flames... a bit too quickly for me to notice. By the time i put it out, quite alot of fumes got released and smells very funny... sour-like.

So now, i'm wondering what was released into the air? What could actually combust in a penny! They are made mostly of steel, then some nickel and copper...

Can anyone identify what created those flames? And if possible what fumes were released? *i'm wondering if it's safe to get anywhere near that place until the fumes sets down*
