uselesspowers your body temperature is 98.6 on AVERAGE. if it is not exactly this then you shouldn't necessarily be concerned. your body temperature will fluxuate, although i would say variables more than 5 degrees (up or down) should cause some concern. I don't know what...

uselesspowers Well, the circumstance wasn't funny because it led to you having a broken car window (which would have pissed me off). The note however, was very funny. I wonder if the original note you left actually drew them into wanting to break into your car more. Maybe...

I am new to internet and broadband usage. While Australia leads the world in many things, it is way, WAY behind in broadband. The usual broadband speed here is 512 kbps and most connections are on a 200-300MB maximum download...

Does it stand for "People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals" as its members claim, or should it be more like "People for Endangerment, Terror and Abuse"? If PETA is so concerned with animals living long and healthy lives, why...

uselesspowers Welcome to the world of obviously skewed and ridiculous causes. You're right, the only thing more ridiculous than their dogma is the hypocritical way in which they practice it. Yeah, don't hunt and eat animals, but it's okay to mow them down with a combine in...

why are American Children not beaten.

topsidestone @topsidestone (41) • United States 5 Jan 07

Children in America are not beaten nor touched by their parents if they do something wrong. Do you think that is correct? I feel thats why lot of children are getting spoiled because of that. Children should be scolded if they do...

uselesspowers I don't know what America thinks, but I think you are making a gross generalization. If and when I have kids, I will certainly punish them, spank them, etc. And I'm an American, so I guess that throws your opinion out the window. On that topic though, I'm sure...

uselesspowers most of the time we do take showers together, mostly because we both get up and go to work at the same time and it's easier to get in at the same time rather than going one at a time and waiting. plus, it's more fun that way... ;)
