I have always enjoyed fixing, tinkering and building things, out of high school I still didn't really know what I wanted to do, my parents pushed me into business and I earned a bachelor's degree in general business and now I work at a paper pushing desk job but I really want to be an engineer, I'm 30 years old now and can't decide if going back to school to earn an engineering degree would be worth it. Considering my business background I fear it would take a long time would probably have to take undergrad classes and earn a master's as I have never had any engineering background, and on top of that I would have to start all over in a new career probably making less money. I know some engineers make a very good salary. Can anyone advise me if this is practical at this point?

I have a pump action shotgun for home defense purposes. It is the type that doesn't have a stock or a recoil absorber, but just has something similar to a pistol grip. When I first got it, the dealer told me to only fire 7-1/2 bird shot because the recoil from the slightly heavier buck shot might cause injury to the person firing the gun. I was researching recently on the internet and everyone says that bird shot is not ideal for home defense. Is this really true? would it be dangerous to fire buck shot from it?

A friend told me one time that there was an episode of South Park that dealt with the mystery of Kenny coming back in every episode by revealing that there was actually a colony of Kenny's that hatched out of eggs or something. I recently got all the seasons on DVD and have watched just about every episode but no such event has shown up. Was there ever an episode like that? or was she just making stuff up?

I know the microwave won't operate with the door open, but if one were to somehow rig it to cook for a period of time and operate with the door open what would happen? Would it heat up everything in the surrounding area? would sparks connect to anything metal that was nearby? Would a person standing in the same room be killed or seriously injured?

This question is mostly directed towards girl as I am a guy and I have never really started to be attracted to someone beyond my initial meeting/talking. So the question is: have you ever started to have feelings for a guy that you were say, friends with, that you never had those kind of feelings for when you first got to know them? Is it possible for something like that to happen or is an initial lack of interest a sign that it will never happen?

I heard it in an anime show I like to watch. I think it might have originated from Confucius but I'm not sure. I would like to know the origin of it for sure.
