  1. There is very little burden on the shark. There is no perfict example, this is one of the examples in my AP bio text book.
  2. Red Alert: DUDE, nymphomaniac?? I thought you were a guy??
  3. I'm pretty sure that not all people who try to bring weapons on planes and other places are.
  4. Yep we're all too stupid to know that the U.S. government is actually a dictatorship, who woulda thunk it?
  5. What can you do if you are deathly afraid of something (phobia)??
  6. True, however I felt that the phrase "lifestyle and diet" was little vague, and if fact not what I was getting at. It was my opinion that the environment shaped the people of the devoloping/under developed countries to be more resistant to auto-immune/cancerous diseases, and not so much their lifestyle or diet, although thier lifestyle and diet are affected by their envionment just as their health is.
  7. Parasitism is a form of Symbiosis. Symbiosis is where two organisms work together in some fashion; usually it is involved in the lifecycle of the species involved. Symbiosis is sometimes confused with Mutualism, which is a type of Symbiosis; when if fact there are three type: The first and most commonly known type of symbiosis is Mutualism. This is where both species benefit. The second is Commensalism where one benefits and one neither benefits nor is harmed. And the last and sometimes part of a misconception is: Parasitism. This is a form of Symbiosis; it is where one species benefits but one is harmed. Some examples of Mutualism are bacteria in some plants (like pea plants) that make nitrogen and the plant "feeds" the bacteria sugar. One of Commensalism is the fish that holds onto a shark and eats the leftover food when a shark is done, it benefits, but does not help or harm the shark. And Parasitism is something like a parasitic worm or a parasitic bacteria/pathogen.
  8. "Dude" is a fairly unisexual word, and it's fairly common (where I live).
  9. Its AP tests these next two weeks in my school. I have U.S. History on Friday, and Bio on Monday.
  10. Google will translate most sites, come on the rest of us want to read about how American is taking over the world.
  11. I think that people in developing or under-developed coutries are exposed to more diseases and pathogens more ofton than people are in other coutries. This could mean: (1) they don't live to the ages where cancer and related diseases are more likely to happen, and/or (2) the ones that live are stronger and will less likely die from Cancer or related disease, and/or (3) their immune system can disern between actually pathogen and the body's cells (so auto-immune diseases are less likely) and also between cancerous cells (make cancer less likely).
  12. I joined when I was in nineth, I think... That was long ago. Edit: haha, saw my join date, I was in 10th.
  13. Line of sight. If there is anyhting in the way then it can't get by, whereas radio and other waves can.
  14. I'm pretty sure he knew that part Some sections aren't in active topics (general, psuedo, ect.)
  15. When the body grows and sheds a new layer every ten days... think its pretty fast.
  16. This is the Political section buddy. Kylonicus scares me.
  17. Dude, Planet of the Apes was amazing, I saw it and I thought it would be boring, but it was AWESOME!
  18. Its email through google, famous for its high storage capacity (2 gb).
  19. Wait, this is from your sig, it sounds very familar, isn't it from a video game?
  20. Inhibit all negative behavoirs, that would dramatically impair the human mind.
  21. No, this explains why something did happen. The ends of things like slavery mark the beginnings of control by the masses. Only people stupid enough to believe everything they hear.
  22. Having one recessive gene gives you the adaptation, and having only one does not give you sickle cell anemia, you have to have both recessive genes. So that’s why the gene stays in the population, because the hybrid (one recessive) is good for you, even though purebred for sickle cell is bad (both recessive). Evolution does no only happen to animals in the wild, we have selective pressures too. Just thought I'd lend my support
  23. Come on, I really don't know. Its not my area of science.
