There are many indeed. If string theory is correct, then space isn't 3 Dimensional. In fact there may be as many as 10 spacial dimensions, folded into the fabric of the universe. But our bodies aren't able to perceive beyond three dimensions. Consider a being that exists in two dimensions. If you walked into it's space, it could only perceive that sliver of you that occupied the space that it could comprehend. If you picked it up, then it would see different slivers of you, but it could never fully grasp a three dimensional object in it's mind. So what would we see from a 4 dimensional creature. Or 6 or 7 for that matter. The universe is far more complex than we can grasp intuitively.

In the U.S. you're required by law to register for Selective Service (aka: The Draft) at the age of 18 because that's when the government deems you as an "adult" to where you can be forced into military service so you can then be whisked somewhere overseas and possibly get killed, lose a body part or two, and/or end up with serious PTSD or worse......but God forbid you want to purchase a cold beer or go to a bar before the age of 21 because you're not "adult" enough to consume alcohol ? F*****g really !?!

Similar question, why is it that you're mature enough to buy a firearm before you're mature enough to buy a beer?

Answer for (a) is it's a way (path) you can drive upon. Parkway is not a term used outside USA, but it means a road near a park/with trees/ etc. Park as in leisure park. (b) Cargo = from spanish carga (to be charged or loaded up). A ship is a germanic word, seen in dutch schip, german schiff, swedish skip, etc. -ment means condition-of, in french. The word "shipment" is a combination of a germanic stem (ship-), meaning thing that transports goods or people, and, (-ment), meaning condition of. So condition of transporting goods. A car therefore can carry a shipment, as can a backpack, a ship, a drug dealer, or a space shuttle.

1. Yes. My eyes see colour slightly differently. I have to open both to see the same as "normal" people. 2. Dogs can apparently understand about 100 words, mostly verbs and nouns, as can great apes. So I suppose it's a training and intelligence thing. 3. Theoretically yes. They're trying now with dolphins and with pets. I imagine their language is verbs, warnings and nouns. So: "eagle!" or "food!" or "friend!" Whether this counts as 'language' depends on whether it has grammar, whcih it doesn't seem to. However, cetaceans might have grammar.

I think we won't ever answer the "life after death" question to everyone's satisfaction. Or the "is there a god" question. I'm happy to go on believing no/no to those. YMMV. If you want to believe in them, cool, just don't try force anyone else to believe it.

I believe the wonderful Dame Maggie Smith had the best response to a religious question: Having a religion is like having a penis. It's okay to have one and be proud of it - it's not fine to get it out in public and try ramming it down anyone else's throat!

On a slightly more serious note: Why do they call it "non-coding DNA" when in fact it does code for stuff, just not for proteins? How is it non-coding if it codes for things? E.g., certain kinds of RNA molecules. Inhibition of other genes. Binding sites for proteins. Activation of or deactivation of transcription of segments of code....
Someone tell me why the eff it's "non-coding" when it *obviously codes* for molecules that are useful in, y'know, our existing... What idiot decided only "codes for proteins" counts as "coding"?

Because when it was discovered, they couldn't figure out what it did, so they thought it was leftover dormant stuff that didn't do anything. This is what they believed when I went to school, but then they discovered that indeed, it's important and codes for things, just not proteins. But nobody wanted to change the name.

... comment just vanished.... I would , second try, comment on the Empire bad guys talking with a british accent... well .... Now I wonder, too. In addition: even if there also was no Germany, a lot of times the bad guys have a german accent?
