Has anyone ever heard of an ashkdaan, which is something people would use to hold their tears in? A long time ago, before salt, people would save their tears and then use it as a flavoring in food. My mother has one that she found in Israel and she tells me it's thousands of years old. I've never heard of this.

We are now aware that the English language did not use the letter J untill 1200 years after the death of the man we have come to know the world over as Jesus Christ. So I want to know when was the name first invented and by Whom?

I recently moved out of my parents house and I was curious as to what age others were. And did you stay out once you got out, or did you come back for some reason?

Is there any evidence to suggest that a male's affinity for sports (throwing football/baseball) has any link to the behaviour of early human ancestors (males throwing spears/rocks to hunt)?

Would they have just died out at a later date? Could they possibly consolidate and become a viable community? How could that effect religion, philosophy, and/or the 'humanities'?

How do you think society and civilization would be if currency had never been invented? Better or worse and why? Again please no google or wikipedia websites. If I wanted googles opinion I would have asked them.

Don't say the world would be boring or it wouldn't be worth living because we wouldn't even know they existed. If we were born without emotion, we would know no different.

How long before we begin to cull our own species, not by war, famine or disease, but actually take the decision to cut down our numbers before we have no space left to grow enough food to feed us all? If it is ethically OK for us to take the decision to control population size in other species, why would it be so wrong to ensure our own 'survival of the fittest' by having a cull of the weaker human members of our population?
(Before you get all hot and bothered, I'm not suggesting that it is a good option, I just want to know how it stands as a resolution to increasing population in a moral stance).

I've had this best friend, since college. She is sometimes manipulative, and she isn't very trustworthy, and at times she can be down right immature and irresponsible. I love her like a sister though, she does have some good qualities, but I feel like she is immoral and dishonest a lot. She constantly disappoints me and doesn't keep her promises. I've written her off but am I wrong? Would you try and salvage the friendship?

Without sarcy answers, does anyone know if the horizontal and vertical scope of japanese sight is the same as caucasians. i.e. if the subjects was asked to focus on something central to their eyeline, do they have the same degree of peripheral vision? Any citations/references would be appreciated!
