And if possible, please try and dumb it down as much into laymen as possible. Like, for example, how many supernovas it would take to blow up a galaxy the size of ours.

Can Putin on his own just decide one day, "Let's bomb the US," give the order, and everyone in their military would be forced to carry it out? Are there any defenses in place that would ensure one man on his own can't just decide to plunge the world into chaos? How does the Russian nuclear launch program work?

I'm writing some Harry Potter fanfiction that takes place in Japan, and one magical beast I'm creating is a Japanese magical creature that only preys on small children and eats them whole. Thus, I need to know what the words "child eater" are in Japanese.

The words used to be clear and precise, and when I highlighted something, the selection was blue. Now, the words are all big, distorted, and screwed up, and the selection is black. What's wrong? How do I change it back to normal?

Like a seven-year-old? Especially if it draws blood?

And no, I am not speaking out against homosexuals in general, I am just curious. If the donor of the clone was straight or gay, what would the clone be? And please don't cite religion to me, I want provable, tangible scientific facts.

Or Dumbledore's backstory? Or maybe the Marauders' era at Hogwarts?

I mean, look at Mike Turzai! He outright stated the voter ID laws were gonna "allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania." They are very open about why they are passing these harsh new voting laws, so how can you deny it when they admit to it?

You don't cease to be upon death, you survive in some other form. What do you think it would be like?

When you die, does what we think of as the soul, your sum of knowledge, life experiences, emotions, personality, individuality, the package that makes you your own unique person, disappear? Do you cease to be? To use TV Tropes terminology, is this Cessation of Existence?

I have Windows XP, and I love it. However, I've learned Windows has stopped supporting XP. Does this mean they are eventually forcing us to use Windows 7? I HATE Windows 7!

The way China is progressing, what if we run out of oil... and they are the first nation to produce a totally alternate energy automobile? What will happen?

Ever since I was a little boy, I've been fascinated by vore, especially snake vore, the intimacy of being pressed inside its stomach with its bare fleshy innards touching your own bare skin. Anyway, my greatest desire is that when it is confirmed that I am going to die, either from old age or something else, I want to feed myself to a large snake, make my vore fantasy come real. Is this wrong?

I've learned US laws since the beginning have outlawed sodomy, and considering our religious founding, this also included oral intercourse, regardless of whether that person did it willingly or not. Many states have repealed this, but other states have not. In those states, can they legally send someone to jail for committing "sodomy" for giving someone a *******? What type of sentence would they get? And what would the public reaction be?
