  1. For reasons, yes. Not necessarily good reasons.
  2. I've been wondering about this. Anyone know of timelines or anything similar describing the future of the Earth? It has been... 4.6 billion years so far? One reason for me to wonder about this is future evolution and the future of life on Earth. Took long enough to make humans. Though I understand that a huge amount of that time was spent just making a multi-celled organism. (I'm wondering about the problems that the dominating species can create... disrupting the 'living Earth' from its more life-friendly features) Wonder if there will be enough time (perhaps after many failed attempts by various dominating, intelligent species) for some sort of Earth life to make itself sustainable without the Earth, and perhaps powerful enough to make self sustaining civilizations in other places.
  3. Maybe it will take away a slight amount of the huge stigma that heroin has. If I can only hope.
  4. I'm opposite. Unless the restroom is nearly empty and I have a plenty of time to thoroughly wash them. Because I feel like if I touch all of those things needed to be touched to wash my hands, I'll end up with more germs than I would have had in the first place. I don't use my hands when opening public restroom doors either if I really don't need to. Or if I have long sleeves, I'll cover them over my hands when opening.
  5. Hygene while cooking is a different story. Of course I wash my hands very often, but I'm still confused over why touching any part of the skin below the belly button and above the knees is so dirty. Washing after touching ones own skin seems to be a very minor concern to me compared to keeping hands clean for washing dishes, cooking, or after sneezing and the like. If I accidentally itch my stomach, I guess I should wash my hands immediately? I certainly don't accidentally 'wipe' anywhere but very secluded areas
  6. I've heard/read from a few sources that it is very important to wash hands after urination, because Coliform lives on human skin everywhere from the belly button down to the upper thighs. I'm confused, because I searched and couldn't find any information about E. Coli living on skin, and it seemed to contradict further declarations I've heard by some that the bacteria can be quite poisonous if it leaves the intestine, internally. Could anyone confirm this? Why wash hands after urination, if you only touch your genitals for a few seconds and you don't touch any urine? Are all of our bodies really a toxic waste lining in the midsection? If so, HOW? What makes my skin so friendly to this 'deadly' bacteria? And why is it not living all over the rest of our bodies? This topic has been driving me nuts lately, as I'm totally clueless. Pardon if it belongs in the microbiology forum... I felt it was slightly more fitting in this one.
  7. Yes it's oxygen that they released. Started during the Orosirian period? From cyanobacteria. And most of them ended up dying from oxygen poisoning, as you say.
  8. Actually, Jews, at least Ashkenazi Jews, typically are a tad smarter than the average bear, and make more money than the average bear (at least that is what I often read from neutral factual sources... don't shoot the messenger! ). He didn't say anything about them being covetable cheats.
  9. Would there be any carbon dioxide in the air? Or... which gas was it that became much more prevalent when primitive life flourished in the oceans?
  10. What do you mean by 'conservative'?
  11. Yes, especially considering how widely spread out we are, and how many different ways people survive around the world.
  12. Dogs and grey wolves are both Canis Lupus. Though the dog is a sub-species.
  13. That gain probably had more to do with better nutrition and education rather than TV.
  14. I don't know about coyotes, but I'm fairly certain that dogs and wolves are the same species.
