I was just wondering, how do solar pannels work? Thanks. -Herpguy

I think I see why you say the neck looks lumpy. There looks like there is a glitch in the photo. Notice that it makes a sharp turn. If that isn't what you meant, then remember that animals use camouflage in some weird ways. For example, some seahorses grow bumps and other things to blend in with their surroundings. Maybe Champ did the same thing.

Here's something simple: Rub petroleum jelly around your nose. BOOM! You'll have major allergy relief. This technique works for my mom.

The two "monsters" are thousands of miles away from eachother, so they are not the same. Also, as AzurePhoenix said, elephants do swim across very deep waters. In fact, it is said that a few hundred thousand years ago some Asian elephants swam across the Indian Ocean to the Indonesian island of Flores.

Sounds fun. I'm just wondering, how are you going to do this? Like what materials are you going to use and how will you assemble them? My 200th Post!

At school we celebrated by measuring circle objects!!! It was awesome!!! And you know what, we even get to right a report about everything we know about pi! At least we ate some pie .

Yeah, I'll stop arguing that. There's really no point.

That's true, but look at the "head" of the thing in the picture, part of it dips down. So the water (with the algae) would gather at the dipped area and hang off the edge...right?

I have basic cable, but I still get National Geographic. If you have a TV guide, be sure to look at it. Also, I thought my TV was missing some channels, but if you go through every channel by pressing the buttons like 6 then 1 for 61 (not the up/down ones) you may find some hidden channels.

Watch National Geographic, they have a lot of science.

That stinks, it sounds pretty cool.

I'm not sure what their names were... We do not know how fast the animal was moving, and think about this: When you move your hand on top of water very fast, it seems to float even though very little of it is underwater. However, when you rest your hand on the water a lot of it is submerged, kind of like [if it is] the log. So if the animal was moving fast, it could be in that position without most of it being underwater.

Once again, it's in the upper fifties. It's unseasonably warm in Michigan. Sunday (3-12-06), it should go into the mid 60's.

I thought about that, but then I decided that if there was algae on the log, wouldn't some of it be hanging off of the log ruining the shape? That's just from my own observations so I'm expecting some people to roll their eyes at me. Skeptics even say that, if the photo is just a model, the model would have to be about five feet high, about eight feet long, and slim. For this to be possible to float stably, a large portion of it would have to be underwater. If a large portion of it was underwater, there would be a huge dark spot.

Well, a boat with sensors picked up clicks very similar to echolocation from the boluga whale, but not exactly that. So either we don't know as much as we think we do about whales, or there is an entirely new species. Note: boluga whales have never been spotted in Lake Champlain, but they have been spotted in rivers near the lake. More evidence for the "new species" is this famous photo of Champ: As stated bye photo experts, this is definitely not a fake photo. However, it could be a log, a duck, or a large sturgeon. We can almost immediately rule out the sturgeon. If it was one, the sturgeon would be abnormally large. Also, the sturgeon would have to be very slim. If the photo was of a duck, then the duck would have to be extremely large, about three feet long . Of the three, the log is the most likely candidate. The problem is that the log would have to be very thick, because most of it would be underwater. So the possibility of the log is probably about as high as the chance that it is a photo of Champ, but before you decide think about this: What is the chance that a log would be shaped in this way. It would have to be very smooth, and would be grayish-brownish-green.

Indeed. It has the basic building blocks of life.

For Champ?

An amazing find. I hope there is liquid water on Enceladus, then there may be life. It would be very interesting if there is life that far away from the Sun. If I was the president of a major space organization, I would start a campaign to make a spacecraft to land on Enceladus and look for signs of life. I hope NASA or another organization will do this.

I have two, and I'm waiting for another friend to join. Unfortunately, both people I referred never go on.

my house is its house?

Sorry about that, here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20060306/sc_space/plantseavesdropfordefensepurposes

Hey, I was about to post that. Anyway, it would be amazing if there is life that far in the solar system. More research needs to be done.

I voted in this poll... I said spin because astronauts in training spin around very fast on some sort of thing (sorry' date=' that's all I know about it). The spinning increases the G's to match those of taking off in a space shuttle. So maybe we shouldn't be laughing at all. [Gah']
