I Will Answer All Your Questions...

I got this idea off a recent ATS post, and it seemed like good fun.
Ask me any question, I will answer it.

Wow... no takers?

I'm disappointed... and bored... and it's still a good 2 hours till Miller Time...

Why can't men take the signals that a women send?

Can't they see them? or are they just dumb? (no offence meant).

Hi,

Well If your going to be :w: and trying to answer all those questions of ours, then I'm not so sure I'd be wanting answers from you.


Oni x x You sure want to know why 'guys 'do that?

None taken. Men aren't dumb, we're confounded. But it's easy to mistake one for the other.

From the moment girls cease to be "icky", the same differences that make you women attractive make it impossible for us to really know what you want. For instance, if a woman wears a very low cut shirt, exposing cleavage, and a man cannot help but have his eyes drawn to it, but then is admonished for looking. Why then was the cleavage exposed? We are told that women want a man who respects them, their feelings, and is sensative, yet find those same women turning down dates from good men to date abusive asses. We are raised with the idea of chivalry (hold the door for the women, etc) yet are chastised by women for practicing it, so we stop and then are chastised because chivalry has died. Assuming we're lucky enough to find ourselves in the presence of a woman who talks to us, shows an interest in being around us, and we share a common interest with, most of the time we hear they just want to be friends (let me let you in on a little secret: men have enough friends, we're looking for a mate.) Then, assuming we manage to somehow land a halfway decent relationship with a woman, we then suddenly have to play a several-day guessing game whenever our woman becomes mad at us because you refuse to just tell us what you're mad about.

In summary, we've stopped trying to figure out your signals. Right now we're just doing good to wade through enough layers of mystery to ensure the survival of the species. If you want a man to know what you're thinking, tell him. In plain English. Don't use allegory, symbolism, wordplay, or reverse psychology. If you want him, tell him in those exact words.

Next Question?

I never said they'd be "good" answers

Anyway, I'm at work, so I'm quasi-sober at least. Got a question?

I have a question! When will the second coming of Christ occur?

Because the male brain is quiet busy with other tasks.

This is a tricky one because it requires a formula be completed before he/she/it returns. The Bible states in both 1 Thessalonians 5:2-4 and Revelation 3:3 that Christ will come "Like a Thief" and repeatedly in other books "at an hour when you do not expect him."

It has been my experience that there is always at least one Christian around expecting Christ to be coming any minute now and fervantly believe it to be true. Hence the bumper stickers "Jesus is coming: look busy!"

So... this leads me to one of two conclusions:

Either

1.) Christians are actively preventing the return of Christ.

or

2.) Christians need to read the Bible a bit more closely.


In any event, Christ will most probably come to Earth when there are no more Christians. This would be the first part of the formula. The second part of the formula is based upon "Heisenberg uncertainty principle", which, in a nutshell states that the mere act of observing something affects its outcome. Since no one expecting Christ to arrive is a requirement for the event to happen, one must not only be rid of anyone expecting him to be there, but also anyone who knows such an event is neccessary for it to happen.

However, the third part of the equation is that it cannot be equal to this particular moment in time, because we would expect it to happen when there are no more Christians and no more to remember Christ should arrive when there are none, and Jesus cannot arrive when expected.

So, the formula goes something like this.

T =/= t(C(0) + R(0))

or, Time is not equal to the moment at which Christians and Rememberers equal zero).

I hope this helps.

Ahh, very good answer. So, in other words, he isn't coming anytime soon?

Well, that all depends on how this whole Bird Flu, war in the Middle East, Supervolcano Gearing Up to Blow, and Global Warming things turn out. Could be that by the time any gods decide to come down to Earth that there's no living humans left to worship them.

So... it could, in theory, happen soon. But I wouldn't expect it to.

Any other questions? C'mon, I'm full of answers and boredom....

Do you know who the AntiChrist is? If so, who is he?

Well, it all depends on who you ask. Nostradamus preducts the Third and Final antichrist to be someone called "Mabus". Interestingly enough, Mabus himself (or herself since no gender is listed) seems to play a role primarily as a Martyr. Mabus dies, then the bad stuff happens.

(Original)
Century 2, Quatrain 62
Mabus plus tost alors mourra, viendra,
De gens & bestes vn horrible defaite:
Puis tout à coup la vengeance on verra,
Cent, main, faim quand courra la comete.

(English Translation)
Mabus then will soon die, there will come
A horrible undoing of people and animals:
At once vengeance one will see vengeance,
One hundred hands, thirst, famine, when the comet will run.

Of the recent significant comet events there is: Halley’s Comet (1985-86), the collision of the comet Shoemaker-Levi (1994), or the comet Hale-Bopp (1997), which appeared right at the millennium of the Jewish lunar calendar.

Now there have been any number of suggestions as to who Mabus is. Personally I feel the most logical choice, considering the context of the quote, is Mahmoud Abbas (aka "Abu Mazen"). The name could conceivably have come across as "Mabus" to Nostradamus.

As President of the Palestinian National Authority (Fatah--sort of the good guys), he is at direct odds with Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh (Hamas--sort of the bad guys). Palestine and Israel has been a hotbed of violence and the situation there (in addition to the U.S. support of Israel) has been the cause of most of the unrest between Western civilization and the Middle East. Hammas has refused (up until today--see www.cnn.com... ) to recognize Israel as a country. If Israel were warred upon by a united front of Muslim countries, make no mistake, World War III would result.

Thanks to the whole Soldier incident, we may be looking at the start of WWIII now ( www.cnn.com... ) or at the very least, the wiping of recognition of Israel and Hamas towards each other. It would only take one incident, such as the assassination of Mahmoud Abbas, to swing full power of Palestine over to the less stable and more historically violent Hamas. The assassination could be used to spark the already fueled tension between Israel and Palestine.

Thus, Mabus may not truly be an "antichrist" as in an evil leader of Satan's spawn, but rather more in a literal sense of one man's death changing the world.

Will I ever become a millionare and not have to work ?

How many chucks would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

If I follow Puharichs patent and modulate a 600Hz audio signal on a 62,985Hz carrier.... Will I make enough oxygen and Hydrogen to run my car?
If it works, I want to give it away freely, will I make much money if I ask for donations?
Thanks!

Well that's a 2 part Question.

The answer to the first part is "Yes. You have the potential to be a millionaire."

The key is in time. From here on out, you need to save 10-20% of EVERY penny you take in, be it from paycheck, gifts, cash under the table, stocks, etc... Start off with 10%, if you can do better great, if not, then just stay at 10%.

Once a year, every year, buy the maximum you can into an Roth-IRA at an interest rate of at least 7%, but preferably 10-11%. Money will double every 7 years at 10% and every 10 years at 7%. After about 35 years you should have between 1.4 to 3.6 million dollars, depending on your interest rate and how long you let it sit.

Additionally, buy property. Get a house. Stop wasting you money on rent. How much of your rent will you ever see again? None. How much will you see back from a mortgage payment on a house? Pretty much everything that went into the principle plus valuation and improvements. Houses, next to Roth IRAs are the best investment you can make.

Diversify your other savings. You should have 3 types. Long Term (for age 65+), Medium Term (for large purchases like houses and cars), and Short Term (for emergencies and re-investing). The longer the term, the better interest rate and more money you will accrue. Remember, the best way to become rich is to put your money to work for you for the longest amount of time at the highest interest rate. While playing the stock market may seem attractive for big wins, you're better off just buying when the market is low... and then holding on to it indefinitely.

Do these things and, short of a catastrophe, you'll absolutely be a millionaire when you're ready to stop working and live your remaining days happily on a cruise ship or something.

So in answer to Part 2: yeah, you won't have to work either once that day comes, but you will until that point. The sooner you begin saving, the sooner you can quit working.

For more practical advice on becoming a millionaire, I cannot recommend enough reading "The Richest Man in Babylon" by George S. Clason. It'll be the best $6 you've ever spent.

You're in luck. The official answer to this common shibboleth is "About that much" or alternately "About this much".

Sadly, no. The amount of energy it takes to create an atom is as much, if not more, than it takes to split it. For instance, using todays technology, one can actually create atoms of gold, but the energy cost is so incredibly prohibitive, that it just isn't practical. You are much better off finding a way to use existing hydrogen and oxygen, for instance, finding an efficient way to seperate a water molecule into its base 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen.
