Why does Yahoo! Answers Spell Checker ALWAYS want me to change Obama to Osama? Is Spell Check trying to tell us something?

Jeez, it just did it again!!

I've run a bunch of different scenarios through different mortgage calculators, and the numbers just seem outrageous. Simple math, ie dividing the purchase price by 360 months for a 30yr loan, it would seem, would give you the principal payment. So why, at 5% interest, does the payment end up at twice or even 1.5X the principal?

The payment on a 150K, 30yr mortgage at 5% is $805. The total payments (360 months X $805= $289,800) is 1.932 X the original purchase price!!! Wouldn't that be closer to 200% interest than 5%??

Why was my question deleted? Too close to the truth for comfort?

It's about a railroad thats gone and includes the lyrics "(railroad name) doesn't stop here anymore" and something about rusty or rusting cars standing in a row. It's a slower sad country song by a woman.

The US goverment is planning to ban the production and sale of incandescent light bulbs by 2012, in favor of compact flourescent bulbs.

CFLs are known to contain mercury and other heavy metals, are more expensive to purchase and dispose of, and are harmful enough to vision that military pilots are prohibited from reading under them.

Should the goverment pass a law like this, or should Americans have the right to choose what kind of light bulbs to use in their homes and places of business?

Do you really want your doctor's office run by the same idiots from the IRS?

Do you really want the emergency room run by the pleasant(NOT) people from the Motor Vehicle Bureau?

Do you want a federal employee like the ones at the airport who insist on searching little old ladies deciding what treatment your doctor is allowed to give you?

Do you want politicians deciding what medications you will be allowed to be prescribed.

Do you really want to be told you MUST BUY HEALTH INSURANCE UNDER PENALTY OF LAW??

Vote Democrat and thats what you'll get.

Why do they post questions they never seem to check on?

Why do many of us put forth the time and effort to research and intelligent answer if the asker can't even take the time to pick a BA?

Question: why israel allow their school kids to know about Muslims as 'terrorist'?

My Deleted answer: What would you describe people whose only purpose in life is to kill you and remove your country from the map? Muslim terrrorists have attempted to use their infant to smuggle liquid explosives onto airplanes in London. In Iran and Palestine, children as young as FIVE are taught to wear explosive vests and to learn to be suicide bombers. Just how do you know what a terrorist training camp looks like? And just where do you find most terrorist training camps? Muslim countries. You show your bias and deep ignorance.

How can we get a Camping Question Category on here?

Three guys get a hotel room, they are charged $10 each, total $30. Later the clerk realizes he overcharged them and gives a bellboy $5 to take to the men. The bellboy realizes he can't divide $5 evenly between 3 men, so he pockets $2 and gives each guy $1, so the room cost them $9 each, right?

So, $9 each times 3 men is $27, plus $2 in the bellboy's pocket is $29.

Where is the other dollar??
