I know the reason but why do they become over active when we get emotional?

One of the first crying researchers, Paul D. MacLean, M.D., Ph.D., an NIH neuroscientist emeritus, linked it to an ancient ritual; he speculated that as early humans cremated dead loved ones, the reflex tears produced by the smoky pyres combined with the emotional devastation our ancestors felt. The result was an inexorable connection between death and tears, sadness and sobbing.

Why is it called a TV set when there's only one?

definition of set:

Noun

A matching collection of similar things. i.e. a set of tables

A collection of various objects for a particular purpose. i.e. a set of tools

An object made up several parts. i.e. a set of steps

Hence a "television set" comes into the third defintion- an object made up of several parts- because television sets bring together many different components.

If it's zero degrees outside today and it's supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold is it going to be?

Zero degrees Celcius (or centigrade) is the same as 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore, if you convert the temperature to Fahrenheit, and we are working on a twice (as cold) minus reduction, then tomorrow could be 16 degrees Fahrenheit?

it doesn't ask for fahrenheit. if it is 0 now and twice as cold tomorrow, 0 x 2 = 0. it will be 0 degrees celsious.

If we use the Kelvin scale 0'C = 273.15'K so twice as cold would be 546.3' K or 273.15' C not a realistic answer for Earthly temperatures.

Can a guy named Nick have a 'nick 'name?
Yes

If a person owns a piece of land do they own it all the way down to the core of the earth?

According to the Oxford Companion to Law:

"In general, ownership of land includes the airspace above and the subsoil below down to the centre of the earth, as expressed in the maxim 'Cuius est solum, eius est usque ad caelum et ad inferos'; but the mineral strata in the subsoil may be sold or leased or otherwise belong to another than the owner of the surface, and modern legislation renders the flight of aircraft through an owner's airspace not a trespass."

If an ambulance is on its way to save someone, and it runs someone over, does it stop to help them?

Yes

Do vampires get AIDS?

Nope. They drink the blood... It obviously is part of their digestive function... HIV cannot enter the blood stream through the digestive track.

If you accidentally ate your own tongue, what would it taste like?

Are zebras black with white stripes, or white with black stripes?

It is thought that zebras are dark animals, with white stripes appearing where the hair has no black pigment, so the zebra is technically black with white stripes. There is some evidence to back up this theory - the pigment only occurs in the hair, not in the skin of the animal, so it is not an outward appearance of an underlying black and white skin pattern. Also, the now extinct relative of the zebra, the quagga, had stripes on its front end but had a solidly dark rear end.

The zebra is thought to have got its stripes because striped animals may not have been caught as easily by large carnivorous predators - maybe the stripes confuse the eyes of the predator when the two animals are involved in a high speed chase.

Why do most cars have speedometers that go up to at least 130 when you legally can't go that fast on any road?

Because cars that dont go very fast, dont sell. Consumers are idiots in that they want things they dont need.

If Wile Coyote had enough money for all that Acme crap, why didn't he just buy dinner instead of chasing Road-Runner?

He is bitter.


How can you hear yourself think?

You can't.

If you had x-ray vision, but closed your eyes, could you still see?

Technically, but if you had X-ray vision you would see through everything anyway, thus seeing nothing.

If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

Love IS blind... lust on the other hand has 20/20 vision.

Why isn’t the number 11 pronounced onety one?

For starters, there is no "onety" because it all BEGAN with a counting system based on "ten". The terms "twenty", "thirty" etc. are derived from compound words meaning "two tens", "three tens", etc. There was hardly a need to begin with a term meaning "one ten" when we already had the simple word "ten".
http://www.webster.com/cgi-bin/dictionar...

The question then is why we have this odd system from eleven to nineteen. Actually, thirteen to nineteen aren't so odd, since they simply mean "three and ten", "four and teen", etc. The order may be different from "twenty three", but the principle is the same.

So, what of "eleven" and "twelve"? The first part isn't too hard. "Eleven" goes back to Middle English "en-leven", whose first syllable is a relative of "an/ane" meaning "one", and the "tw-" of "twelve" gives away its connection to "two". So we can sort of see that these two have something to do with the system of counting by ten. In fact, the original meaning of these two words was "one left" and "two left" (after counting to ten).
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/dict.as...

As for why "eleven" and "twelve" did not end up simply conforming to the "teen" pattern. Simple -- these were COMMON, well-established forms. And ordinarily in ANY language, it is precisely the common, everyday words that are LEAST likely to submit to "rules". (That's why the "irregular" past tense verb forms -- had, were, went, etc-- and irregular plural forms --men, mice, geese-- are almost always found with simple, common words.)

Of course, there were some alternative forms out there. We still use an alternative word for twelve -- "do-zen" itself shows us that (compare German "zehn")-- though it has gained its own special use (for a GROUPING of twelve). In fact, the fact that many things were divided into units of twelve also helps explain why eleven and twelve were treated differently.

If it’s true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

Helping you.

If 4 out of 5 people suffer from diarrhea does that mean the fifth one enjoys it?

No it dont mean the 5th one enjoys it, it means that the 5th person doesnt get that disease!!!!


If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes?

Let me address two separate issues (the first part is modified from another answer):
1) The pattern of *********ary processes that can be seen (in the fossil record and living species)can be of two types:
In _anagenetic_ (meaning "that generate upward movement") events, an entire population evolves in one direction and becomes so different that at some point the people who study it give it a different name. This is encountered in paleontological research and the decision to separate one from the other is ultimately arbitrary.
_Cladogenetic_ (meaning "that generates branches") events entail a population that splits into different sub-groups; each of these then evolves independently from the others. We share A COMMON ANCESTOR with living apes, but we have not evolved from them directly.
Our direct ancestors are fossil hominid species.
All the species that are living today have their separate ********* and history; also they all (including humans) share common ancestors from which they (we) have inherited our common traits. And apes have their own ancestors that are closer to them than to Homo sapiens; the fact that apes are our closest living relatives does not exclude the existence of more related _extinct_ relatives.

2) What you're stating is one of the arguments that many creationist use, namely, that change within a species (adaptation, i.e. micro*********) is possible (they are astute in not denying this, because the proofs are overwhelming!), but a species cannot transform into another (macro*********).
This is based on a mistaken concept of "species". Most people think in terms of the biological species concept, which is based on reproductive isolation. That is, individuals of each species cannot hybridize succesfully with individuals of other species. However, there is not a single path for the rise of the mechanisms for recognition or isolation that we perceive as the "real boundaries" of a species. What the taxonomist calls a species may respond to different species concepts (such as morphological, *********ary, biological (isolation), paleontological, recognition, etc,), and there are many examples of populations in which speciation (total isolation) is on the way, and there's a thin line between "subspecies" or "geographical races" and valid species (just ask an expert in systematics, which I am not).
*********ary processes are long-term phenomena, and it may seem that there are "*********ary leaps" from one species to the other. But although there are particular cases of "instantaneous speciation", most of the "leaps" are due to the fragmentary nature of the fossil record. So many populations become extinct or become something else and their former existence is not recorded anywhere! But although the record is fragmentary, life is continuous.
