Science & Mathematics - 7 July 2007

I woke up in a strange hotel room yesterday and I had a lump in my pocket. When I took it out, I saw it had a fishing reel attached to a box. There was a small brass horn and there was also a carrot attached to it. There is a crank on one side and a rubber bulb with a tassel near the horn. There is a small silver plate riveted to the side and it has “Mr. Thingy” etched onto the plate. What is this thing? Should I keep it or get rid of it?

Think about it. If scientists are right, when I'm playing 8-ball and miss a shot, could it be my double from our "mirror" planet picked the wrong ball. I mean, I'm thinking I should have played the 3-ball and that nut-cake chose the 4-ball instead.
Is it my double's fault I can't "bank" because he hasn't taken the time to learn, to practice?
What's up with that? He's costing me wins every week.
Could it be because I shoot right-handed and he (because of the "mirror" is a southpaw?)
I know the earth is slightly tilted to one side, but it would be there, too, right?
Can I get some help on this, please.

I have owned a telescope before and would like something that allows me to see as many objects as possible. This is for visual astronomy only, no astrophotography. Please recommend a make and model, and why you think it's such a good telescope. Thank you very much!

The sum of the digits of a three-digit number is 12. If the hundreds digit is 3 times the tens digit and the tens digit is 1/2 the units digit, what is the tens digit of the number?

And, how do you solve it? What kind of equation would you use?

A few minutes ago I saw something shimmer hanging in the air.
As i got closer i noticed a spider web from my computer directly towards my lamp and in the middle hanged the tiny spider.
So, I told my parents to find me a middle jar and i put the spider in.
I'll probably take it outside but I don't know if it's safe enough for the spider..

The spider is tiny.
Color: organish/redish and black at the end.
And obviously long legs, I gave you the simplest description.

If anyone can please tell me about this spider or provide me with a website where I may find more information about it.Because, the websites I've been to are mostly about dangerous spiders and so.

:) call me weird, but I enjoy looking at it and observing it making it's web.

Whenwas the last time you stuck you thumbs in your ears, and wiggled your fingers while saying, "Nyeh, NYEH, nyen, nyeh, NYEH!!!!!"????
I just taught my little niece to do that yesterday.... I hope my sister appreciates the QUALITY teaching time I spend with the little rug-rat....

What should I teach her next week?
