I know that earthquacks has been strong in California but I was wondering if there would be an end to California if the nastiest of all earthquacks would kill the state of California.

If you could list a website as a reference that would be nice.

I've been experiencing some strange behavior in my senses lately. All humans have ten senses, we know that. But usually those senses are all balanced. Whereas with me they seem incredibly unbalanced. My equilibroception (sense of balance), proprioception (body awareness) and hearing are all incredibly acute which is probably a result of my thermoception (sense of heat) and narcioception (pain) being almost entirely nonexistant. You know like how when one sense goes the others get stronger?

In addition, I also have the strange ability to pick up electronic fields, demonstrated by a sharp whistle I can hear in my head that actually makes me almost fall over in pain (though it does take a strong electronic field for this to happen). This seems to indicate that I have an 11th sense of electroperception, a sense that usually only fish have. I am guessing that this is not normal.

This isn't really a question I just needed to write this down and any SENSIBLE comments would be apprecated.

If this was Possible, theoretically people would see you upside down right? I am thinking two dimensionally.

Another way to formulate the same question is: is there any technical name for what only numbers 1, 4, 27, 256, 3125 etc. are?

Outta curiousity, asymptotes are values that a curve approaches, but never meet the curve at those lines, but in curves like

f(x) = 1 + (x / x^2 +1)


they cross the asymptote heaps of times xD, why's that?

The horizontal asymptote is y= 1, and yet thats its axis intercept...

Is there a special case with horizontal asymptotes?

And can a curve cross its verticle asymptotes?

I guarentee there is some retarded curve out there xD But why can it cross, they aint meant to touch each! =S

If a photon had any mass, and mass increases to infinity at the speed of light (c), the entire universe would be one big photon...well, maybe it is... :o)

I know the basics about an ecstasy pill. They usually have some type of design or color, and something stamped on them like letter. But one day i found a sack of probably about 20 pills, they were quite small and they were shaped in a triangle with a letter stamped on the ( don't remember the letter ). Were these possibly ecstasy pills?

Scientists predict that the daily addition of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, combined with daily removal of large portions of the world’s forests, will raise the earth’s average temperature by several degrees in the next century. This in turn will raise the level of the sea and potentially create significant changes in weather patterns on a global scale. As we move into the future, many climatologists expect that most of the United States will warm. What we do not know yet is how to scientifically predict which parts of the nation will become wetter or drier. We do know there is likely to be an overall trend toward increased precipitation and evaporation, and more intense weather systems, in the form of violent rainstorms, blizzards and sun-baked, drier soils. Sea levels have ALREADY risen approximately 15-20 cm (6-8 inches) worldwide in the last century, due to melting mountain glaciers and ocean expansion from warmer ocean temperatures. and if sea levels continue to increase that will cause a change in the tide pattern and moving belts resulting in more Tsunami's. possible ones will be hitting New york and as for LA well u guys have the andreas fault line to worry abt and the pacific rng of fire which volcanoes are already showing signs of life. so alot more earthquakes and erruptions for u guys. and any other places around the coast lines r screwed unless your on the mile high city. and even then im sure something else will come after us. and natural catastrophies arent the only things we need to worry abt warmer climates will increase the mosquito population bc of the ideal conditions for the insect. This will then increase the transmission of diseases such as * Eastern equine encephalitis * Japanese encephalitis* West Nile virus* Western equine encephalitis Dengue Fever Malaria Rift Valley Fever Yellow Fever and many others that im sure will start to pop up. and the warmer climates might even make more diseases pop up i mean we already have the The H5N1 virus is jumping species and it is mutating. On June 9 they killed 13,000 geese in Western China, It is only a matter of time before it begins to jump from human to human. were going to be looking at another pandemic like in 1918's influenza pandemic. so warmer conditions ideal environments for disease spreading and outbreaks, natural catastrophies like Tsunamies, earthquakes, volcanoes, tornadoes, hurricanes ect.

energy come from? To give a non magnetic example, if I lift an object away from the Earth, I have stored up potential energy which I can release by letting it fall. In that case, the energy released by the falling object was originally provided by me when I lifted it. Now if I take two magnets, from two different sources (ie. I never pulled them apart) and lay them close enough together on a flat surface, when they get close enough they will of course move towards each other. So my question is, the where did that potential energy (which becomes kinetic energy as they move together) come from?

According to scholars of old Chinese folklore, these 2 days will be the coldest days of the Lunar Calendar year. This occurs in a cycle of 4 years and so far have been pretty accurate. Also a date for Ching Ming is always misty and a slight drizzle. Funny or eerie but I have found this to be true even though it was predicted hundreds of years ago. I am thinking of translating some of these writings into English because it also gives the dates for planting different crops as well as what days are best for marriages etc. As soon as I have the date of the hottest day in 2008, I will have it posted and see whether the predictions are accurate or not. I am not sure but I think they base their findings on astronomy and the moon had a lot to do with it.
