  • How do Olympians practice for ski jumping?

    It's insane. It's not like you can just strap on skis and go sailing 300 ft off a ramp. How does one make the decision, first of all, that this seems like a good idea... And where, besides the Olympics, do we even see ski jumping?? Anyone??

  • So I was cleaning out my dogs crate, changing the bedding and vacuuming up the hair...?

    ...when I found a couple of my shirts wadded up in the corner. He dragged them in there so he could smell me and cuddle up to them I believe. At first I thought, how sweet... My dog loves me, but now I'm getting a little creeped out. Is he obsessed with me? Is he, *gasp* STALKING ME?? Should I be afraid? Should I sleep with one eye open?

  • SPERM DOES NOT DIE IN OXYGEN!!! Who believes this MYTH?

    Who is TEACHING YOU THIS!?! Sperm can live for up to an hour outside the human body, and for up to 3 DAYS inside the vagina. Obviously, there is oxygen in both these places!! Men give sperm samples all the time in little cups. These cups have, GUESS WHAT, oxygen in them!! I just answered a question and 3 different people said "Your GF can't be pregnant because the second sperm is exposed to air, it dies. VERY DANGEROUS MYTH. Research, research, research!!! Because if you believe THAT I shudder to think what other sex myths you believe. If a man ejaculates onto his fingers, and then inserts said fingers into his gf's vagina, you bet your sweet life she can get pregnant with no penile penetration what so ever. Please, dispel this myth. What a terrible, terrible untruth.

  • For ANYONE in WYOMING COUNTY, Western NY...?

    A few years ago, While out driving with my kids, we came upon a huge white house, on four corners, with big white pillars, set kinda close-ish to the road, that was abandoned. It was off rt 20a, but that's all I can remember for sure. It feels like we took the second right off 20a, after the big hill and the curve coming out of town, then drove a little, and took another right off that road... (pretty vague, I know) I figure if anyone lives in this area of the state, they might know the house I'm talking about. ANYONE have ANY idea where this house is??

  • Do you ever answer a question on Yahoo, and be kind of insulting, and still get chosen BEST ANSWER...?

    ...by the asker?? For instance, somebody asked a question with completely improper grammer. The words he used defined definition, and I kinda teased him about it, and he chose mine as best answer. Too funny...

    Include your best example. I could use a laugh today!!

  • Southern houses with doors on their open porches...?

    When we were driving through Charlston, SC, we noticed a lot of the houses had porches, completely open to the outside, save for a railing, with full wooden doors to close them off from the sidewalk. What is the purpose of these doors?

  • Why do city houses have doors on the second floor that lead to nowhere?

    It's common in my area, which is western New York, to have houses in the cities that have doors on the second story that open to nothing. There are too many of them and the houses are too new (early 1920's or later) for there to have been balconies that fell off, plus, there's no sign of a balcony ever being there. What is the purpose of this door? Can anyone give me a legitimate, intelligent answer??

  • My male dog dribbles pee all over my house!!?

    I have a puppy. He's 7 months old, and he's mostly housebroken. He hasn't had a deliberate accident in over a month. However, he dribbles pee everywhere, whenever he gets nervous or excited. He's a German Shepard, so he's not a small, nervous dog. I realize he has to mature, but in the meantime, what do I do?! Is this common with male dogs?

  • What is UP with our new puppy sitting on our HEADS everytime we lay down on the floor? ?

    Everytime my two girls (ages 3 and 8) lay on the floor, the puppy sits on their heads! He doesn't sit on my head, but he sits on my back. He definitely sees me as his master. Is this some way to show his superiority over them? Is it just a funny thing dogs do? Is he trying to smother them!?! (J/K)

  • How do you safely remove seaweed from your pond?

    We have a large, hand dug pond (about football field size) that is about 7 years old. It is becoming very seaweedy. We have stocked the pond with large mouth bass....How can we kill the seaweed without killing the fish? We add crystal blue die every spring, but it's not really keeping on top of the problem anymore. Anyone know of any herbacides that are safe for fish and people? (as we do swim in it)

  • How can I tell if there are snapping turtles in my pond?

    We have a football field sized pond that my husband dug about 7 years ago. It is spring fed, and has always been crystal clear. We have had problems with Geese every spring, but this spring, the geese mysteriously left of their own accord (usually my husband has to harrass them daily until they leave). The water is unusually cloudy, and I'm afraid either the geese brought in an undesirable fish, or there are snappers that are stirring up the muck on the bottem, and possibly even scared away the geese. How can I tell if it's a snapper? I already have read the sites that tell how to build traps to relocate, I just want to know what is some possible evidence, if any, of a snapper?

  • What do you all think THIS dream meant?

    When I was teenager (nevermind how long ago that was, that's not the point!) I had a recurrent dream that I was running through the woods, holding a little girls hand, and we were being chased by some unseen people. In my dream, I knew they were men chasing us, but it was never confirmed, and it never "ended". We'd run, and I'd eventually wake myself up. I had this dream probably 6 or 7 times in a row, then never again. Any suggestions of what it could have meant?
