1 AnswerHomework Help9 years agoDid Aristotle come before Sophocles (NOT SOCRATES) (I included the years)?
I'm not good with my B.C years. Aristotle came about 384 BC – 322 BC, Sophocles (the playwright) came about 497/6 BC – 406/5 BC. My question is, did Aristotle come before Sophocles? I think he did, I just want to be sure. I need to know because I want to include a concept of Aristotle with an essay about a play Sophocles wrote. But if Aristotle didn't come before Sophocles, the concept wont be valid.

2 AnswersPain & Pain Management9 years agoQuestion about the Kindle....does it come with a USB to connect with a desktop?
I want to buy the kindle but I'm not interested in messing around with the wifi. My internet carrier told me that there is something about the wifi connection at my house that will only allow me to have one item connected to the wifi box/thing. I'd rather have the USB chord to connect the kindle to my desktop computer. My question is...does the kindle touch (not 3g) come with that USB cable.

9 AnswersPolls & Surveys10 years agoSurvey: If/When Kate Middleton gets pregnant...?
Do you think that the line of succession will immediately go to the first born son, or first born child? The media is always talking about how both her and William represent the "Modern Monarchy". I'm hoping its just goes to the first born child because aside from King Henry VIII's son getting to rule his will said the line of succession was determined by who was oldest-Mary and then Elizabeth. I think the female rulers of England has had already shown that a woman is very capable of ruling. What do you think: crown goes to first born child or first born son?
8 AnswersPolls & Surveys10 years agoI just bought that frozen Jamba Juice stuff and it says just add apple juice.....but?
I know it calls for Apple Juice but I just found that I don't have any. Would substituting a different juice (such as pineapple) make a difference in a bad way? I have the "Strawberries Wild". Would using pineapple juice (or any other juice) make it taste bad? I don't think it will I just want another person's opinion. What juice would you use?
2 AnswersNon-Alcoholic Drinks10 years agoIn your opinion is Jax from General Hospital (soap opera)...?
Do you think he's going insane in the mind or is he genuinely trying to get custody of his daughter. I think he's going insane. Based on the last month of Jax trying to get custody (his strategy esp.) do you think his mental health is perfect or damaged? I think he's not mentally able to decide how he should approach this situation. Based on that I don't think he deserves full custody. Do you think he's going insane??
