Spider body size vs distance between fangs?
With other animals it's possible to take something like the length of a footprint or a certain bone and guess how big or tall that particular animal is. Can you do the same with something like a spider bite?
1 AnswerZoology8 years agoCar Insurance pricing question?
I'm trying to understand how the insurance for each of our cars gets chosen.
We have a 2007 gmc yukon XL (biggest of the 3), a 97 mercury grand marquis LS, and a 2001 gmc Sierra (pickup).
Of these 3, the grand marquis is the most expensive, then sierra, and the cheapest insurance belongs to the yukon.
Just trying to figure out how this works...

4 AnswersLanguages8 years agoIs self psychiatry okay/practical?
They say that self divination is not recommended because you would only see what you want.
Would something like this also apply to analyzing out why you (yourself) do the things that you do, say the things that you say, etc. etc.? Is there some type of line that would cross?
But if possible, would it even be practical?
This is not so much for mental illness but more for stuff like "why do I feel the need to pay attention to word choice?" or "why do I procrastinate when I know things are on the line?"

1 AnswerProgramming & Design8 years agoAre long nails needed for adv guitar songs?
Okay I've been looking at some videos on some songs i want to learn: michael,michael, michael by don ross, airtap by erik mongrain, and spiritual groove by antoine dufour.
Specifically in the first song (michael, michael, michael), a video on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkidVP0AcQ8) shows him playing it.
When you get a look at his right hand, you can see that pretty much all his fingers have long nails.
Aside from the adequate skill/ practice needed to play the song, are the long nails neccessary? Can the song still be played accurately w/o them? Are there ways around having to grow out your nails?

2 AnswersOther - Music10 years agoChords for a Alin Coen Song! NEED!?
That fact that she is a German singer doesn't help.
I'm looking for chords to her song "Das Lezte Lied" or "The Last Song" in english.
I only find one remote site that has a person's comment with a list of "chords".
I was looking something more along the lines of a Ultimate-guitar layout. I couldn't find the song but maybe i did something wrong....

2 AnswersMovies1 decade agoSearching for two old movies...?
I'm looking for 2 movies I watched a hecka long time ago. I don't remember their names so that's why I ask.
First One: I'm like 90% sure its black and white. Its an old alien movie where the monster looks like a carrot. it resided in a cave and had this like tiny pterodactyls that it sent out. these pterodactyls hit people in the back of the neck but left like a barb. Then those who got hit became the alien's servants...kinda. Like nicole kidman "The Invasion" zombies...
Second one: This one is color. Fantasy theme. starts in this castle with some lady I think trying to kill someone. She's under a spell that is broken when she's put in front of the mirror and its broken. Its all due to this wizard/warlock dude who lives on an island.

4 AnswersMovies1 decade agowhich would be better? Davis or Berkeley?
I plan to major in Biology(microbio,etc, etc) to become a parasitologist(study parasites)/infectious diesease specialist.
What im not too sure about is which of these two would be better for what im trying to accomplish...
I plan to have a more medical specialization rather lab...
I was looking at a college in San Fran but i hated the atmosphere. Berkeley is close so im not sure if the environment is the same. But I did like Stanford's atmosphere. I want to know how it feels like at these colleges(unfortunately deadline is tomorrow so i have no time...)

3 AnswersHigher Education (University +)1 decade agoi need some songs...?
ok. so im bored. in order to keep myself busy, i want to learn new songs on my guitar. But i'm kinda limited in my song "database"...
I'm using an acoustic song i would prefer songs that use one but if there are some songs you find "must learn", please swing them my way. Just not I'm Yours by Jason Mraz or Billionaire. Everyone else who has a guitar knows those songs...T.T...it gets annoying...
Much obliged for any help you give.
Cheerio. :)
