...used by the waste disposal function?

Had mother nature given both departments unique parts to function on then maybe the subject of sex wouldn't be such a "dirty", "touchy" or "taboo-like" thing to refer to in everyday life. And maybe kids can start to learn about them from day one and there would be no such thing as porn. Any ideas?

For some reason, the fluorescent lamp in my bathroom wouldn't come back on once it was turned off. I used to have to climb up on the vanity and jiggle it (the lamp) for a while and then it would stay on. This was unacceptable. I decided we would just leave it on at all times. It has been on for over two years now. How long will it last? Does it last longer if left on than switching it on and off 20 times a day? Is it different for an incandescent lamp?

Show of hands: who thought I put this question in the wrong forum when they read the title?

If a black hole is a collapsed star, and it retains the mass of the star and just shrinks in diameter, then why does a black hole have enough gravity to pull light in, but the star that it formed from doesnt? Should they have the same gravity since they have the same mass? (law of conservation of mass)

Honestly, it's not getting destroyed. It'll still be there. It's never going to effect you in ANY way whether it's a planet or not, or whether it's even there or not. When was the last time you even thought of the stupid thing until it made national headlines. I've seen numerous posts about "saving" Pluto. Get off the bandwagon of morons and attempting to "save" useless objects billions of miles away. And worry about something that might make a difference on Earth where it matters. (like PETA- People Eat Tiny Animals)

Please support your answer with a source, perhaps, or sound reasoning at the least.

No discrimination intended, but I'm looking for the scientific community's opinion. If you are a Christian scientist, then a Christian slant is acceptable; otherwise, please leave it to the specialists.

Thanks to all in advance!!!

I don't understand the big deal, it's not like anybody is going to shoot it down or anything. It's still a body out it space so what's changed?

We have been having really bad thunder and lightning here where I live all day and I cannot figure out why we would be continually losing power but it only goes out for maybe 2 seconds at a time. What causes this short term power loss? Any ideas?
