    Living under or near high voltage power lines: is it dangerous?

    Not unless one falls on you! Early studies showed some sort of link to childhood leukemia, but those results have since been disproved. The researcher falsified the data. You can hear a subtle buzzing/humming noise on humid days right under them though. If that bothers you, it could be a...

    How do you drive a car/truck with an automatic transmission?

    Sounds like the engine idle speed is way to fast on the van. Other than creeping forward on a level grade, you should have to push down on the gas pedal to actually drive around town.

    Storage expert warns of short life span for burned CDs

    I've read that MO (magneto-optic) media is the most reliable, but you don't see much of that around anymore since the media doesn't hold much more than a DVD but is much more expensive.

    why dont my ac have return vents in the rooms`?

    Re: why dont my ac have return vents in the rooms` Try leaving the blower fan on all of the time to enhance the circulation. The only thing that really worked for my house in the end, though, was a separate zone for the upstairs and returns in every room. You might try a portable air...

    How many pushups can ya do?

    used to be able to do 35 or so, but a couple of years ago had a hernia while doing pushups so now I'm afraid to do them. I do bench presses now for the chest and triceps.

    What are your Quirks?

    Re: What are you\'re Quirks? Count me in on the "counting" thing. Usually it's in groups of ten though and only when I'm doing something boring like walking to the car across the parking lot or going to the bathroom Plus, for some reason, I thread my belt through the loops the wrong...

    What did Martha Stewart do?

    You might ask your local librarian to point you to some sources. This story has a lot of interesting elements beyond the legal ones that could make an interesting paper. For example, whether or not Martha's celebrity status and reputation as a "b" had anything to do with her sentence. Why...

    Question for our legal knowitalls.

    [ QUOTE ] greenlight said: You have the right to cut branches that lean over your property. You also have the right to dig up roots that go under your property. I'd consult the neighbor first. If he gives you permission to hire someone to get rid of the tree, that's great! Better yet, try to...

    My tattoo

    So, I guess it's really hard to tattoo straight lines, isn't it?

    Bush has a real underground bunker???

    Depends on the definition of bunker, I guess. I'm sure every military man made use of "bunkers", but probably it took the beginning of the nuclear age to move us toward today's "bunker". The east wing of the White House was added in 1942 during the term of Franklin D.Roosevelt and contains the...

    Bush has a real underground bunker???

    Well, Cheesehead, Mr. Bush was demonstrably the most capable at winning the last Presidential election, which is how we sort out these sort of things.

    Carpal tunnel solutions?

    With my trackball, I do use the thumb to click. Using it left handed with the left and right buttons reversed in software works even better for me. I sleep on my side and get relief by resting the uppermost forearm and hand on a body pillow to keep it from bending too much. Although I didn't...

    Anybody ever been hypnotized?

    I tried it once but wasn't hypnotizable. Did learn some neat relaxation techniques though. All hypnotism is really self-hypnotism anyway. Some people are just more willing to let an outside "authority" guide them. Not trying too hard to remember something usually works for me in the end. That...

    Carpal tunnel solutions?

    Immediately correct bad ergonomics. I haven't used a mouse in 10 years. Track ball works but even though I'm right handed, I use my left hand. Figure out a way to maintain your hands in a neutral position especially when you're asleep. It helps me to use body pillows on both sides so that my...

    They'd keep it on an island and pay for the care and feeding by selling tickets to see it, of course

    T rex DNA

    Seems to me that I read that it was in a dry environment or the bone would have fossilized. Don't know about moist, but the marrow was flexible and speculation was that the unusually thick thigh bone of a T-Rex was what protected the marrow and that if museums were willing to cut up their...
