Comets
What comets have recently been discovered, and, when will a comet be visible from earth next? --72.78.191.196 00:31, 25 April 2007 (UTC)Meepy123
Lightning Safety
Hello. When you are golfing and lightning strikes, would it be a good idea to hide in your golf cart? I already know you shouldn't hide in an ATV because the rubber tires won't protect you. Thanks. --Mayfare 01:09, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- Not stand under a lone tree. This is where most people are injured or killed.
- Stay away from water.
- Stay away from your golf clubs.
- If your shoes have metal spikes, take them off.
- Move away from your golf cart.
- If stranded in the open, go to a low place such as a ravine or valley.
So just a little perspective: lightning just traveled through three miles of air (a very good insulator as you'll note only a few feet insulates the highest voltage transmission lines). A quarter inch of rubber isn't going to stop it. Also, I believe it is points or tips (i.e. the end of golf clubs, tops of trees, your head) that causes the mist favorable field lines to form for a lightening strike. This is why lightning rods are so pointy. This is also why sticking a pointy golf club in the air isn't safe even if it's not the tallest object. After a lightning strike, a car can still be a dangerous object as some charge may remain in the chassis. --Tbeatty 05:27, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Name for biological phenomenon.
Hey guys. I used to now what this was called but it's gone from my head.
It's the name for the phenomenon exhibited in certain animals. They enter a trance-like state when tipped upside down. I believe both sharks and rabbits exhibit this quality.
Any ideas? 213.48.15.234 09:08, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Isn't it Tharn,. or was that just a made up word.
Virtual Stellar Map
Can anyone suggest where I could find a 3D map of our stellar neighburhood? What would be really nice is some kind of animation that illustrates the location of the 100 closest stars and into which one could virtually "navigate". Thanks.--JLdesAlpins 10:25, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Glycemic Index and carrots
Hi, Being partially bilingual, I noticed the Glycemic Index page in Spanish gives out-dated information (according to the English page) on carrots and their GI value.
I have put a note on the discussion page of the English version, and another (in Spanish - it took me a long time!)on the Spanish discussion page (which was empty).
I cannot (as a new user, being non-medical, and not having very good Spanish) bring myself to edit the pages in question.
Have I done the right thing? Will it get fixed?
The Spanish version wouldn't let me log in with my user name etc. Is this normal? Does it matter?
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to reply...

Note; the questions are in the pictures and I would like to thank anyone who can solve the questions immediately.
Favorite colors and car colors
I found myself wondering about blue cars the other day. Are they really the most common color of automobile? I wonder if this used to be true but isn't anymore, or is only true in certain areas. That got me wondering whether blue is really the most common favorite color, is that cross-cultural, and what are the "percent favorite" numbers on the other colors? I tried adding an unscientific web study to color (the best I could find by Googling around) but it was removed shortly thereafter. -- Beland 15:16, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Astronomical question
I have heard about Gliese 581 "super earth". Now I wonder what our earth would look like if it were tidally locked with the sun. 84.160.254.232 17:04, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
I remember a program where they set up this scenario. the planet was just the right distance so that the sun lit area was at a perfect temprature. there was a perminate hurrcaine near the center ocean and life was possable. came out on that show Extraterrestrial or something like that. anyways they said the planet would be livable because of the winds and oceans helping move and distribute the temprature. its times like this that i wish i had the money and took the time to order that video or any videos that come out =) User:Maverick423 If It Looks Good Nuke It 20:46, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Snakes
My teacher and I have been discussing conjoined twins, human and animal. I came up with the following quesiton, "If a snake has two heads, is it one snake with two heads, or two snakes with one body?" --wpktsfs 19:21, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
This also happens with people, and they would be quite upset at being called a "two headed person", I imagine. StuRat 19:44, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
(Edit conflict) seeing as how its two sepreate thinking minds, it would count as two votes. however getting the privacy for one of them to vote might be a problem as one one person is allowed per booth =) User:Maverick423 If It Looks Good Nuke It 20:50, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
We have an article on Abigail and Brittany Hensel who are 17 years old girls with two heads and two arms and two legs and one trunk containing two backbones and two hearts. They each had to pass the driving test to get their drivers licenses, even though each controls one hand and one foot. Clearly two remarkable and admirable people, so each would get to vote or to serve on a jury, and each will get a diploma when they finish high school. Edison 04:34, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Ok now that is a tricky question. since they both have individual minds, but the same torso, im not sure if it will be consisdered adultery. maybe they have to find a guy that loves both of them but that might also count as polygamy. i hope someone might have a better awnser to this as i am now courius to know too. User:Maverick423 If It Looks Good Nuke It 16:01, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Wow. Lots of thought. --wpktsfs 19:35, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Ok so then lets say they marry diffent men then. would it be cheating since its just one body? how would that work and wouldnt the men get into a big fight over all this? User:Maverick423 If It Looks Good Nuke It 22:39, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
biotech
where can i find detailed entreprenuer project reports for starting up of a biotechnology company?please please help me find it.. i desperately need to see some sample reports.
cant any1 please help me.. please..
you might have a better chance of googling this. we dont have such reports like this to help you. check busness websites and ask there its your best chance at finding what ur looking for. User:Maverick423 If It Looks Good Nuke It 16:03, 26 April 2007 (UTC)i m totally cluless about this.. can you atleast suggest me some business sites where i may find it??
Cnn has a busness site that talks about the latest busniess news and gives pointers to starting your own. now i dont mean to sound rude or anything but as a Entreprenuer, your ganna have to find your own way because there are very few, if any, people that will help you. its just the way the world works i learned that the hard way =). User:Maverick423 If It Looks Good Nuke It 17:08, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
thanks for the help and concern.. i really appreciate it..
Hydrogen Sulfide
As I understand it, Hydrogen sulfide is a very dangerous gas because it is toxic and highly flammable. It's hard to detect because it deadens the sense of smell. Is that effect unique to humans? Would an animal such as a dog or canary be able to detect the gas reliably as it neared the level dangerous to humans, or was it impossible to detect reliably before the invention of gas detectors? Shui9 20:53, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
if i remember correctly, they used birds to detect for leathal levels of gasses in coal mines. the bird would die which ment the gas levels are approching deadly which signaled he workers to high tail it out of there. i would a
