I have a cough, chest congestion (took Mucinex and feel better), REALLY bad gas, and I feel really cold. I'm not nauseous, I have a small headache, and parts of my body are aching (lower back, pecs, shoulders) but it's not necessarily that bothersome. Is it okay if I eat pizza? If so, what can I get on it without me having it see it again late tonight?

From the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa the angle of depression to herd of gazelles is 13.7 degrees, and after the herd has traveled 5 miles in a straight path away from the base of the mountain, the angle of depression is 10.4 degrees. Find the height of Mount Kilimanjaro to the nearest tenth of a foot.

I can solve this in thirty seconds with law of sines. But my teacher only wants me to use SOHCAHTOA. How the heck do I do this problem with just SOHCAHTOA???

I have just been cast in the play "Done to Death." I am very excited and I know that my school is very successful with plays, how they're built, the acting, etc. However, I don't really know much about the play, let alone the role I have been cast as.

My friends have seen the cast list (which is not online, I don't know how they saw it; but the director specifically told me that I had made the play). They told me I had been cast as George and had been double cast as someone else too! During auditions the director told me that the only double role there was is the monster. So I know for certain that I am George, and I think I am also the monster.

I am thrilled. But there's one problem: neither George nor the monster were featured in the auditions, so I really don't have much of a background on the two characters. Can someone please summarize the plot and tell me about these two characters? What do they do? Personalities?

This would be GREATLY appreciated!

I have an in-class essay over A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah. I have a notebook on key passages of which I think are important. The teacher has hinted that the essay will be about a major theme. As a class we dicussed four main themes: including loss and truama. I went through my notebook and circled and summarized many passages putting "truama" and "loss" next to passages so that I could use them tomorrow. Is there anything else I can do? (I will be able to use my notebook).

I want to get at least eight hours of sleep every night (go to bed at ten and wake up at six). I mean, I'm fine with getting six and a half or seven. I just don't want to be up at 12:30 doing homework every night. I just don't want to be a walking zombie.

Any advice from current juniors, seniors, teachers, school counselors, and high school graduates would be much appreciated!

Okay, so my first day of school is tomorrow. I want to get to bed by ten and also get up at six for a total of eight hours. However, what can I do so that I go to bed and fall asleep very quickly?

I don't want to take any medications that will make me do so.

This is a poll question for a school project in World Religions.

Believers in a superior being/force: How do you know your superior being/force exists? What is your proof? How does he/she/it respond to you? How would you describe your superior being/force? (If you don't mind also say what religion you believe in.)

Atheists: How do you know that there is no such thing as a god? What is your proof? Did you convert to atheism or have you always been atheist? If you did convert, what inspired you to convert?

Responses would be greatly appreciated. I also know that this is a hard subject to relay on, so please no insulting other peoples' answers or this question.

Here's the deal. I'm at Varsity golf practice almost every day with some younger guys on the team. The freshmen get a little rowdy at times and are EXTREMELY irritable. One minute, they're everyone's best friend, especially when the coach is around or even at random times. Others, one specifically, thinks its funny to throw other people's stuff around and laugh at others mistakes, even though he's making just as many as everybody else. He thinks he's IT, like he's the entire team and no one else matters. If someone happens to even stutter or trip on something, him and his cronies laugh it up. I should also point out that it's not just me or another guy. It's to the rest of the team--to everybody else whose older. Some guys take it and laugh it off but I can see that it's bothering some of the other guys and is also bothering me a bit.

So here's the question: how do I deal with someone who is smaller than me, younger than me, and is nice one minute but a complete jerk the next? I also don't want to tell the coach, because (to me), it's a form of ratting, which I absolutely HATE. Plus, it would make me look weak. I want to handle it myself; but, if some of the other players decide to jump in, fine with me.

Whenever I try to play music on my iPod (1st generation) it plays the song for about 3-5 seconds then it skips to the next song without me telling it what to do (or pushing any buttons for that matter). It then does this with the next song, and the next song, and the next song. It also doesn't even play the music. I hope it's not broken or anything bad like that. However, is there anything of which I can do in order to fix the thing?

The first one to correctly answer these riddles wins ten points!

1. What is vey fragile but more useful when broken?

2. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!

3. What is the center of gravity?

4. A man was born before his father, killed his mother, and married his sister. However, he never did anything wrong. How is this possible?

(We'll have a little fun with one everybody knows.):

5a. You have a chicken, a dog, and some seed. You also have a rowboat and you need to get everything across the river. However, the boat can only hold you and one of the other things you have. The dog also cannot be left alone with the chicken and the chicken cannot be left alone with the seed. How do you get everything across the river?

5b. Let's add a little bit of a twist. There is now a second river and you have acquired a fourth item: a chocolate covered steak. If the dog gets a hold of it and eats it, it will die for chocolate is poisonous to dogs. How do you get everything across the river safely if the dog cannot be left alone with the steak, if the dog cannot be left alone with the chicken, and if the chicken cannot be left alone with the seed? (The seed, however, has already gotten across somehow and you are on the side with the steak, the dog, and the chicken.)

If the light touches the man he will burn alive and die. The second room is a pool that spans the entire room (no walkway, no whatever) with man eating sharks swimming inside that are ready to kill. How does the man escape?

Who was the man looking at the newspaper and what proof did he have that the man killed his wife?

3. Three brothers run an endless race. one is short and fast (he always is in first place), the second is tall and skinny (he is in second), and the third is short and fat (but is always last).

I am making banana bread for a gathering and one ingredient is flour. I have no time to run to the store and I need to know if I can use flour from 2007. I literally just opened it a few minutes ago and I don't see any bugs or discoloration. Can I use it? It will be baked for 50 minutes at 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

My grandmother's turning 70. Any ideas?

These crackers supposedly expired way back in May 2010. They've been sitting in the back of my pantry for a while, I know. All I would like to know if it's safe to eat or not. I'd also kind of like to know why they are safe or not.
