I am male, 38 and in good health. It seems to me nearly every time I search for something I can't find and need (keys, wallet, thumb drive) as soon as I begin the search, I need to urinate urgently. Is there some sort of biological reason for this? Is it some sort of hard-wired response? It's annoying, and consistent and I was just curious.

I'm getting ready to put new pads on my 2002 4WD Ford Explorer 4.6L. Do the front hubs seperate from the rotors, or is the hub part of the rotor? I need to know if I should order wheel seals as well if I need to get into bearing work. I HOPE they come off the hub, but want to be prepared in case they don't. Thanks!

I've been living in Germany for 2 years now and noticed something. When I drive down my own road, or any other road in a town, the folks just STARE at you as you pass. The folks on my road all know me, but they don't nod, smile, wave or even blink, they just stare at me as I pass (even the kids). It always makes me feel like they're sending the vibe "what are YOU doing here?". I try to do the common American thing and wave or nod, and they just stare back at me. Is this a common cultural thing here, or do folks have some sort of animosity. It's not like I'm driving a Hummer or something, I ususally drive my German spec BMW, so I don't scream "American" coming down the road. Any thoughts???

Looking for something to do in Mosel area of Germany that does not contain a visit to a castle/ruin, church or museum! We've been here for 2 years, and we're all castled out! We've been to dozens of museums and churches too. They are all merging into a gray blur. We need something fun the kids will like. We like outdoorsy stuff, but we can go into the city as well. We like Germany, but we're bored. Any thoughts?
