if you are standing on the equator, at night you have less pull from the sun but it is pulling you into the ground (weigh more) and during the day it is pulling you up (weigh less). But the centripetal and centrifugal forces (due to the earths orbit rather than rotation) have the opposite effect, so how does it work out?

And how long would the day be?

I get 'Fatal Execution Engine Error' every time I turn my computer on. Gets me every time. Anyone got any others that are a laugh?

Got the question from a brain test book. I made it 1.5 kg. Seemed simple enough. The book says 2kg. I have written out the question exactly as it is in the book (exept they wrote out 'kilograms'). Am I missing something? Please help. Thanks.

I keep the hand scythe hoping it makes gathering ingredients more efective but not sure it does. What about all the cloth, weights and scales etc. Has anyone found a use for any of it?

Money is power, it is universally loved and respected, it acts as a more consistent bridge between people than love, family or religion (I mean in reality rather than fairy tale). It sounds like God trying to make us all work together... any thoughts.

The movie with Banderas. There was a Viking lord about to die fighting the canibal zombies. Could you help me with the words to his speech? it had something about going to be with his ancestors.

Have searched for it on net but no joy. Thanks.

Ali was great at not being there when the blow landed and Pele could run through a whole team (and he did). Are Blair's verbal capabilities in this sort of league?

And also the sub unit (like pounds have pence)

I assume cred or credit will be near the top of the list.

The rate at which time pases depends on how fast something is going. Star's orbit the galactic core at I assume slightly different relative velocities. Would this mater (assuming we had a fast enough means of communication betwen two stars)? What factor of differnce would it be?

1. How many years would you consider the maximum for travel time?

With or without effecive hibernation technology.

2. Would you go knowing only your offspring would reach the destination?

I am refering to the whole global warming issue. Does a consideration of it's effects come into it when you are thinking about where you might buy a house?

I hear Islamic law says interest should not be charged in principle.

Is this true?

Whether it is or not, is it a good or bad thing.
