What are you going to do to celebrate the New Year?

SAdave1 @SAdave1 (103) • South Africa 29 Dec 08

I am probably going to have a barbeque with my family, just have a quiet day to reflect on the past year and think about the new year to come. What are you planning? It will be interesting to hear from people all over the world...

Is pizza a traditional Italian food?

SAdave1 @SAdave1 (103) • South Africa 29 Dec 08

Have Italians always eaten pizza the way we eat it (and the toppings we use)? What is the origins of pizza? I don't know for sure, but I think that we have probably taken a traditional Italian food and changed it. I'd love...

Are you happy with where you live?

SAdave1 @SAdave1 (103) • South Africa 29 Dec 08

I live in South Africa, a really beautiful country at the southern tip of one of the harshest continents in the world. Life is good here, although things have got a lot harder over the past few years. I have thought about...

Have you eber contemplated infinity?

SAdave1 @SAdave1 (103) • South Africa 26 Dec 08

I don't know if you have ever thought about how long infinity would last for? One attempted definition goes something like this : Take mount Everest, imagine that the only way the mountain gets worn away or damaged in any...

Do you think that Santa, presents and Christmas trees detract from Christmas?

SAdave1 @SAdave1 (103) • South Africa 22 Dec 08

There is so much hype around at Christmas time about Santa Claus, buying presents, sales, Christmas trees etc. I have heard of some Christians that are no longer even giving Christmas cards because they believe that all the...

I wrote an Afrikaans question to try and see how many South African are using this site. If you don't understand the question it means : Does anyone understand what's written here?

What is the earliest age you can remember?

SAdave1 @SAdave1 (103) • South Africa 20 Dec 08

I can remember one or two things when I was around 5 years old. After that I seem to remember more and more as I got older. I think it's really sad that we can't remember when we were toddlers, or even babies crawling around,...

When is a cousin 'removed'?

SAdave1 @SAdave1 (103) • South Africa 20 Dec 08

Something that has always eluded me (nice way of saying I just don't know :), is what it means if a person is a 'cousin once removed' or 'twice removed' for that matter. What is the difference between this and a second cousin?...

Who saw the meteor shower?

SAdave1 @SAdave1 (103) • South Africa 18 Dec 08

I live in South Africa and stayed up to watch the Geminid meteor shower last night, but I only saw 2 meteors in about 2 hours. It was not as impressive as previous years, although I think I missed the best days to view it. You...

Do you have Firefox as your default browser?

SAdave1 @SAdave1 (103) • South Africa 18 Dec 08

I find that it does open a bit slowly, but I prefer the way it works, so it is my default browser. Microsoft don't seem to be doing a hell of a lot to catch up or fix their security issues, either.

When will mobile phones start threatening computers?

SAdave1 @SAdave1 (103) • South Africa 18 Dec 08

Mobile phones have advanced greatly in the past few years. I think that some time in the future the technology will merge with laptop computers, so that you will be able to do everything that a phone and a laptop can do now on one...

Camera light sensitive

SAdave1 @SAdave1 (103) • South Africa 17 Dec 08

I have a 5Mega pixel Kodak digital camera. It works great, but when the light is dim and the room is too big for the flash to be effective, I just can't get any clear photos. If I set the light setting up, the pics are invariably...
