What if a fighter pilot needs to take a dump in the middle of a flight? Do they land somewhere convenient straight away?

Why is it that many animals can feed on carrion (e.g. roadkill, rotting carcasses) and not get sick, whereas human beings can't? Do they have some sort of enzyme or intestinal structure that we lost during evolution?

Why does America get to blow up the mothership in Independence Day? Why are Japanese horror flicks Americanized just to make the hero American? Why is it in most American films, it's always Los Angeles that gets blown up or invaded? Why aren't any non-American heroes popular in America? It ticks me off. There are OTHER places in the world.

Does intelligence improve the species' chances of survival? If so, why does society tend to develop such that we ostracise intelligent thinkers? If intelligence is a genetically favoured trait, why does it remain in the minority?

The replica statues sold to tourists, at the harbour itself. How much are they in US dollars please? I don't wanna get ripped off.

A day after my work out, I find that my muscles sometimes twitch and spasm (there is no pain) for a few seconds. This is especially true of my pectorals and forearm muscles when I have a big yawn or stretch.
