Near constant rain every day... grey and cold - and frequently windy - with only occasional hour of so where it goes bright.

The wasps can go to hell anyway... but will the population and well-being of the butterflys and bees suffer cause they can't do their normal thing this summer ?????

I'm not mad keen on bees but was told that mankind's well-being also depends on bees being able to do their thing of pollinating flowers and honey stuff ect.

At what stage of evolution did man develop a sense of humour? What caused it? How does it make him a better species? If man evolved from apes, why don't monkeys and gorillas have a sense of humour? And why would baboons evolve to have hair all over the body except the face and behind? And why do baboons have multi-coloured behinds? Does this mean that evolution is kinda funny, or is God funny?

I was told it could be ancient plow marks or it was dug up during the war to stop enemy planes or gliders landing neither sound right to me. Plow lines are closer together usually and posts in the ground would be more effective against aircraft

Right.
4 days ago, I posed a question asking how many people believe in Neo-Darwinian Evolution. I posed this question on both the Religion & Spirituality and Biology categories, and said I'd post the results.
The Results were:

For Biology: 58% Yes, 21% No, 21% neutral
19 respondants in total.

For Religion & Spirituality: 55% Yes, 39% No, 6% neutral
32 respondants in total.

Notice this isnt about "southern" its about being a part of the sunbelt. The last half decade have seen enourmous economic and population growth for D.C. (especially its suburbs) but as of the last year they have slowed. What are your thoughts?

There is a cylinder which is 12 cm long placed in a beaker filled with water, the rim of the cylinder is 1cm above water level. The cylinder has some sand in it to stabilize it. Then, oil is added into THE CYLINDER (which contains the sand) and the specific density of oil is 0.8. The question is when the oil is added to the sand, will the cylinder float or sink????

Do tornados only spawn from Super Cell storms? Like, if the weather reports say I'm getting "isolated or scattered T-storms" or doesn't say anything about "severe" storms, it can't happen?

Just get nervous sometimes whenever there is T-storms here(live on long island, NY). ppl always telling me there's nothing to be afraid of cause they've never seen nor heard of one here(and neither have I). But, I still get so afraid.

We all know that our vision is based on reflection and refraction of light from objects which is received by our eyes and translated back to objects by our brain. So, when you are traveling at speed of light, can you see at all? If yes, how? If no, why not?

Think about it before you answer.
