I've recently discovered and seen in photographs that a few rings around Saturn is actually spiral, which brings me to the big question, how were the rings formed? There are rings that are almost 25 500 km wide but only 1 km thick.

For simplicity, assume that I'm standing erect and still, like a statue, on a motorized skateboard that can vary its speed as I wish. Mind that if I move faster to cut the time, the rain slants at me more and I present a larger surface for wetting..

I was in bed with my wife during the Summer and observed a strange phenomenen. Around 11.00 pm, a ball of blue light about the size of a soccer ball entered our bedroom. It floated over the end of the bed, hovered for about 30 seconds and then seemed to slowly fade into our sliderobe presses. My wife also noticed this. The strange sphere appeared to be lit from the inside. This happened on a particularly hot evening, mid Summer. I am told that this may relate to 'ball lighthening' and has been observed by other pepole. Any ideas?

I have seen cases where the winning answer, by vote, is simply wrong. In science and mathematiics (my area) , there are capable people who are probably willing th check a voted answer for accuracy. If an answer is incorrect, a tip could be given and the question reopened. Getting points with wrong answer is bad.

In order to be a civil engineer, do you have to have artistic talent with hand drawings? or Can you be very talent with AutoCad instead? Any civil engineers out there had problems with hand drawings in college, how did you get over this problem?
