  • Where is the best place to extract blood from?

    I need to write a letter in my own blood (yes, seriously). It's not a very long letter, so I don't need much - just enough to suck up into my fountain pen. Obviously I don't want to bleed to death or do myself any serious or permanent injury. The only tool I have is a knife. Is there any way to do this safely?

  • How do I make my succulent plant flower?

    I have a succulent (Aloinopsis luckhoffii), which I keep inside on a south facing windowsill and water correctly. It is supposed to flower every year in March. In the 4/5 years I have had it, it has so far flowered only once, and that was a few years ago.

    Is my plant unhappy or something? What will make it flower?

  • When electron degeneracy pressure is overcome in white dwarfs...?

    White dwarfs are held up by electron degeneracy pressure. I have been reading that when this is overcome, in some circumstances this causes electron capure and in other cases causes ignition of further fusion.

    What decides which of these happens and why? What happens to all the elctrons in the second case?

    Any light you could shed on this would be great, and sorry for the long question :S
