When did they come into use, how were they structured, when did they fall out of use (if applicable) and how many days were lost during the transition between calendars?

I can't for the life of me find information that isn't confusing as hell. I'd be delighted if someone could put it into layman's terms for me, refraining from just cutting and pasting information from the internet (I've looked there already).

Just curious as I am researching the validity of some New Age texts, and would like this information for reference.

Cheers guys!

I understand that the second dimension is x & y, third is x & y & z, but I've heard there are so many other dimensions.

What exactly is the fourth dimension and what are some of the other dimensions available and how are they defined?

When someone says there is a "one in thirty thousand chance" of whatever, exactly how do "they" determine that number. For ex.: just taking the number of people in the U.S., and the chances of getting struck by lightening, if it storms in one small area of the country, huge clusters of people aren't going to all drop dead from getting struck. So on a larger scale who really knows the real percentage of anything so random and large. (And please, I am curious but explain it in real-people language! ;-) Hee Hee) Thanks!!

I'm in a forensics class right now and we were given an assignment to look for a way and a site that would tell us the height of a person based on the length of their foot. Any help would be really appreciated. And no wisecracks please.

Is it possible to walk, talk, and live a normal life with half a brain? I don't mean a whole brain and only side only works. I mean if you had a whole brain and you took half out, would you still be able to be like everybody else and not have any side effects from having half a brain? I've heard that you'd be sevierly handycapped if you had half a brain damange. And another question is, is it possible to be born with half a brain? If it is possible for either questions to be just like anyone else with half a brain do you have any hard proof saying it's possible? Like any medical books or medical websites or somethin' of that nature? Any help would be great. Oh yeah, the reason why I'm asking is cause my aunt use to be a nurse, and I found out today that she was tellin' someone how I only had half a brain, and it's kinda weird that she'd go and say somethin' like that.

. In a way evolution does not contradict the law cause the human goes though the process of entropy. We’re born, all our systems are working effectively and then when we increase in age out body starts to malfunction and eventually we die and decompose. The law states that is has to be an isolated system, everything that evolves is not isolated, it evolves to meet its needs with the environment or surroundings.
