Okay, in the winter it may be 20 degrees outside but when the wind blows it feels like 10 degrees and we call that the "windchill factor". In the desert in the heat of summer it may be 100 degrees outside but it feels like 110 when the wind blows we call that the ______.

It sounds silly, but there are days in the desert in the summer when the air feels hotter when it blows. Think hair dryer in your face.

This has nothing to do with humidity or the heat index. It only feels that way on a hot dry day.

If it's true about there's a huge space in the middle of a twister, were there people who lived to tell the story?

Then how come Lebron James is 6'8" while his mom is only 5'5"? I went on one of those ridiculous "height predictors" on the internet and typed in my parents' height and my height: my parents are 5'3" and 4'11" and i m 5'5" (14 yrs old) and the predictor said that there was an error lol. And read this:

Go to the part where it talks about genetics and you'll find out.also strongly influenced by the effects of certain hormones on the development of the cartilaginous portions of the 62 bones of the lower body, as well as the 24 separate and moveable bones constructing the spinal column."

I've seen so many people here on Yahoo Answers yapping "you can't increase your height, it's genetics". Well, banish the thought and keep working out. Of course, there is a limit and height is indeed influenced by genetics to an extent, but when there's a will, there's a way.

Why is it that apparently just NASA's space shuttle seems to be experiencing continued heat shield problems, whereas the Russians NEVER report any such problems with their space crafts? Do they have better scientists than NASA?

*Two moons on 27th August 2007*

*27th August; the day the Whole World is waiting for.

The planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky starting August.

It will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. This will cultivate on Aug. 27 when Mars comes within 34.65 Million miles of earth.
Be sure to watch the sky on Aug. 27 12:30 am. It will look like the earth has 2 moons.
The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287.

Share this with your friends as NO ONE ALIVE TODAY will ever see it again.

According to the law of natural selection and survival of the fittest, all life forms evolved over billions of years into intelligent life. The amoeba became a fish, which became a lizard, which became a monkey which became man. But what about plant life? Where did plants come from and how did we get so may different varieties? Did the fern evolve into an apple tree?
