It will be interesting to see how the rise in obesity affects the average life span in the next 30-50 years.

What is it that will make one animal live longer than another. I am more focused on the deterioration of the bodies functions than any outside variables such as predators, unhealthy diet, lack of medical care. Why do some mammal's that weigh around the same as us die off in captivity much sooner than we do? Even under great care. How come smaller animals such as cats or dogs go through a faster life cycle? Thanks!

That.. or a blabbing sibling Which was the case here. I don't care if you guys believe it or not... It will remain precious to me on my list of stories from high school for years to come.

That is funny... but this one really happened.

Man.. Ben Stein will do anything for money/popularity. I'm going to go read Dawkins response right now... thanks!

I kid you not... happened to a girl in another high school. Apparently she accidentally broke off some pieces that she couldn't get out and the rest is history.

If women don't ask questions about vacuum related accidents with men we will look the other way when it comes to the "stuck" frozen hot dogs.

Perfect!

I made my introduction at the Astronomy and Cosmology board already. Hi guys... I am from Canada, home of the poutine.

haha... ya I was a bad mayor when I use to play that. People were complaining because there was no running water or power in some spots... cry babies.

Ah ok... my bad I'll know for next time then, thanks. Is there a FAQ here to browse through?

This is my first post on the science forums. I think it's wonderful that I now have somewhere to discuss science related topics in a forum designed for such a thing. I posted here first as I will probably do most of my posting here and in the genetics forum. I am relatively new to learning about Astronomy and Cosmology. I am reading through Carl Sagan's books as well as Stephen Hawkings. Loving every moment of it. I am probably by far not the most knowledgeable person here but I will do my best to learn, discuss and maybe even teach at some point when I get more comfortable. See ya around
