Leading astronomers of the world are
now trying to work out a more precise definition of a planet. By the end of August of this year (2006) they will have to either declare that one of our Solar System’s planets is not a planet or that there are about 20 planets in the Solar System. One thing is for sure: it will not be 9 planets anymore.
What do you think their decision will
be? More than 9 planets or less?

Ok well i went on vacation to a country called El Salvador. During my stay there the windows were open in the villa i was staying and there were slums across the street. I had insomnia and I developed a chronic upper respiratory infection and i was given some kind of antibiotic.

Now its a few years later and i seem to be experiencing strange symptoms possibly unrelated like chronic tension type headaches that grow worse on waking up early i feel like im being ripped from sleep and my head is hurting with a throbbing ache. I seem to have xerostemia or dry mouth alot of the time. My saliva is often sticky. On my tongue in my mouth there is tiny white nodules that have grown in thickly like a paste but the doctor says its not oral thrush. I constantly have dry eyes and I have to rub them to move moisture into them. My muscles seem to be sore most of the time even if i dont exert myself.

I got a blood test done and my monocytes are extremely high and lymphocytes are low. Please help

Like the birthday problem, or the Monty Hall problem, or any other bizarre problems you have heard of. Please give solid, understandable explanations.

NOTE: You do not have to explain probability...that's less fun. It's all those situations where the answer if couterintuitive that are interesting.

Eric Weiss purchased 4 tires by mail order. He paid $62.30 plus $6.20 shipping and handling per tire. There was no sales tax on this purchase. When he recieved the tires, Eric has to pay $8.00 per tire for mounting and balancing. At a local tire store, his total cost for the 4 tires with mounting and balancing would have been $425 plus 8% sales tax. How much did Eric save by purchasing the tires through the mail?
