4 AnswersPolls & Surveys1 decade agoAre there backup drivers in NASCAR? Or does one driver do the entire race?
I know this seems like a dumb question, but I don't know that much about NASCAR. I've tried to research this online, but I haven't gotten any definite answers.
2 AnswersOther - Sports1 decade agoWhat are your thoughts about the United States government throwing money at the recession issue?
President Obama is going to throw a "$800 plus" billion dollar bailout toward recession relief. Is it just me, or does it seem like the government has a bad habit of throwing money at big problems?
Wouldn't it make sense to investigate the source of the recession first?

2 AnswersUnited States1 decade agoWhat is the radioactive material used in Resting NVGs?
For those of you that don't know, a resting NVG is a form of heart scan. The technicians remove a sample of blood via an IV - then expose the sample to a particular radioactive material.
I'm curious to learn more about the radioactive substance that is used. I've Googled it and tried Wikipedia without any results. In particular, I'm curious as to the length of its halflife.
1 AnswerMedicine1 decade agoChristians and anyone else, is it natural to have mixed feelings about Islam?
If you are Muslim, please don't be insulted by this question. I understand that it is only extremists that hate the United States. I also understand that the actions of a few thugs shouldn't deface an entire group of people.
In contrast, I have some mixed feelings for the Islamic faith. I don't accept it, yet I don't reject it. Is this normal for a Christian (or non-Christian)?
This question is directed toward Christians, but I'll accept any responses.

2 AnswersCurrent Events1 decade agoWhat do street gangs do when they get together?
This question is toward gang members - past or present. I'm not asking for any confessions here. This is strictly for research purposes only.
I'm currently writing a book where one of the main characters is an ex- gang member that is about to be executed for murder.
How do you guys (and gals) orchestrate your crimes? Is there any planning that goes on or is it random?
When you get into a brawl, do you scuffle with rival gangs more often? Or the police? Or innocents?
If you are an ex-gang member, what made you stop being one?

1 AnswerMedia & Journalism1 decade agoFellow Christians, do you believe in the Big Bang theory?
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light 'day', and the darkness he called 'night'. And there was evening, and there was morning - the first day
[Genesis 1:3-5, NIV]
Do you believe that there might be a correlation between the Big Bang and these verses?
Let's face it. Before the universe we know was created, it was dark and without form. When God spoke light into existence, it came from that darkness - almost like an explosion.

42 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoAre there any good websites to research Civil War revolvers?
I am trying to find information on the British Tranter Navy and Army Double-trigger revolvers. I have tried to research it using Wikipedia and Google, but the only information that comes up is the inventor's biography.
Does anyone know of a good website to research about this gun?
Just want to know how the gun was fired and if it was a commonly used weapon.
(The thing that made the Tranter a unique weapon was the fact that the cocking hammer was the lower 'trigger' and the firing hammer was the upper. Reverse to the common revolver of the period.)
1 AnswerMilitary1 decade agoDid lawless towns of the wild west have mayors?
By wild west, I mean the time during the Reconstruction Era after the Civil War.
I know that they typically had sheriffs that would try to restore order from time to time, but what about the town's government? Would there have been a mayor, regardless of the presence of a sheriff?
I'm asking this because I'm trying to write a western novel. I'm trying to decide if I should include a scene where the town's mayor gets assassinated - aside from the other turmoil in the opening scenes of the book.

8 AnswersHistory1 decade agoIs anyone reading The Shadow and Night by Chris Walley?
I know that this is a long shot because this author isn't very well known. But it is a futuristic alagory - with in the traditions of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis.
If anyone is reading it, what do you think of the story?
Is it almost too easy to figure out?
I think it is. The fact that the author reveals that Satan has been bound but not destroyed is too much of a give away.
If you have not read this book, just claim your two points by saying 'no' and move on. No rude comments please.
1 AnswerBooks & Authors1 decade agoTexas Rangers fans, what was the name of the player that was deaf?
This player was back from the early-to-mid ninties. So this question is for Rangers fans that have followed the team for a while. I don't know if they have retired or not. I kind of lost interest in baseball after the strike of the mid-ninties. It was then that I lost track of this particular player.
It wasn't Rusty Greer, Kevin Mench, or Hank Blalock, was it?
All rude answers will be reported.
