I have a question for evolutionists on human body hair. I can understand our ancestors losing body hair while living in Africa or Mesopotamia (depending on your viewpoint.) How come our Homo-Erectus or Homo-Sapian anscestors (I forget all the different terms) didn't evolve thicker body hair as they moved into colder areas. If they were using animal furs to keep warm why didn't their bodies become covered in thicker hair. I will often grow my full facial beard out in the winter and it helps a little so why didn't our ancestors do the same? I went to a religious school so I didn't have the opportunity to learn this in Highschool.

I'm driving a very curvy shore road every morning and evening, very dangerous to be on. Some people are always following too close - half of them, I'm sure, are just good people in a hurry who don't realize they're too close. But I can't influence their behaviour - what could I do to get less freaked out by other drivers being dangerously close?

Can you explain me why most women walk around naked in the gym locker-room? There's no shower there and I can't see the point of that unnecessary nudity. Maybe it's vanity?

Please MAKE SURE you listen to all the interviews and read all the information linked from my sources before you answer, so that your answer is well-informed:

At first glance, the story seems delusional, until you listen to all the interviews of Leo Wanta, and realize how he did this. Given $150 billion from US Treasury in 1985 by President Reagan, he claims to have bankrupted USSR, by buying inconvertible rubles for $0.18 to $0.28, then selling them to those who owed rubles to Krelim for $0.80 to $1.08. Then continuing to compound the proceeds over in the intervening years.

"I don't know if the whole Leo Wanta thing is a hoax, but I suppose we will soon find out...July 31 deadline...unnerving to the degree it ties in all scams since 80s (Iran Contra, Reagan's rapid onset Alzheimers, Brady Bonds, Global Crossing, 9/11, Iraq, Somalia, Osama Bin Ladin, Israeli PM Rabin's murder, Enron, Trans-Afghanistan Pipeline, etc..."

You know how sometimes at the urinal you'll look over at the guy next to you and compliment him on his package? I do this a lot and I get mixed responses. Sometimes they'll thank me, sometimes they'll turn away and rush out of the restroom but yesterday somebody told me I was gay! Can you believe that? I have a little bit of a lisp but I'm definitely not gay.

Here's the things I say "Hey buddy, the good Lord sure blessed you down there. Good for you pal" then I'll pat them on the shoulder. Or sometimes I'll say "WOAH! I feel sorry for your wife!" Then I'll slap them on the behind. You know, friendly gestures.

Are these considered "gay" sayings? I don't want to come off the wrong way.

How many times have you gone somewhere and swear you have seen this person before but in reality you have never ever met this person in your life.
Does this happen often?
I have another similar question that I have asked today also?
Is there an explanation to this ? This is very puzzling to me,it happened to me today and I am dumbfounded.
I went up to this person and asked her where we have met before..( I know it sounds like a lame pick up line) but it really happened.
We ended up talking for about 1/2 hour and exchanged names before her boss started staring us down..so I left.
Has this ever happened to anyone else before ? and did you approach this person and ask them where you have met before like I did?
