I have a pair of socks that I have to wear with my kilt. They're too big for me at the moment and I don't really have time to buy another pair before my friend's wedding tomorrow. How can I shrink them? They're 80% wool, 20% nylon. I've already washed them at 60 degrees. Don't know if it's made a difference but I still need to make them much smaller. Can anyone help me?

This is from a recent yahoo news article.

"Much-maligned Pluto doesn't make the grade under the new rules for a planet: "a celestial body that is in orbit around the sun, has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a ... nearly round shape, and has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit."

Pluto is automatically disqualified because its oblong orbit overlaps with Neptune's."

Am I the only one who sees the problem with this reasoning? Doesn't neptune's orbit therefore ALSO!?! cross with pluto's...and wouldn't that disqualify it as well?

I'm so confused. My physics book say they are two different things yet avg speed =total distance/total time and average velocity is d/t. can someone explain the difference to me (if there is one)

Now that pluto is not a planet, how will they re-do this acronym? I was taught this many years ago in the 5th grade. Any ideas?

My guess is a town called Ingleside, Nebraska - but that's just my guess from looking at a map. Anyone know what the exact center would be?

Perhaps you know that the eggheads from the Astronomical Society met in Prague... and about an hour ago declared what is and what is not a planet. Poor little Pluto didn't make the cut.

What do you think of this uprooting of a fundamental bedrock of our sense of our local reality? Will science start unravelling? Will they tell us that the sky isn't really blue? Or does anyone really care?

What will happen to Astrology?

Confused! The impression I got from Astronomy blogs and sites was that the IAA had indeed confirmed Pluto was a planet (Indeed, I asked a question about the implications of this)
Now this from yahoo news

What's going on?
