  • Is Superman a human on Krypton?

    Superman just got super powers because of our Sun. I was wondering if he was like a human on his planet Krypton (that if it wasn't destroyed)? And would us, earthlings, be super powers on his planet?

  • Why is Ariel Castro going to get death penalty?

    Ariel Castro currently is charged with four counts of kidnapping and three counts of rape for what he did to Amanda Berry, Gina DeJESUS, and Michelle Knight. I don't understand why he is eligible to get death penalty.

    If it was because of miscarriages that he caused, it should not be death penalty because it is legal to have abortions in the United States. In other words, abortion is murder in my opinion, but the United States government doesn't view fetus as murder.

    Now, the punishment ranges from 10 years to life according to sources. I personally think he should get life with no possibility of parole because he cost Amanda Berry, Gina DeJESUS, and Michelle Knight ten years of their lives.

    Second question to this, I still don't understand how he was charged four counts of kidnapping if he only kidnapped Amanda Berry, Gina DeJESUS, and Michelle Knight. If it was about Amanda's daughter, she wasn't kidnapped, but was born due to rape. Can anyone explain on how her daughter can be "counted" as kidnapping.

    Thanks for taking your time to read this. I just want to be clear on this, so I can explain that to my friends.

  • How far are Betelgeuse and VY Canis Majoris if they are sizes of dime or quarter?

    As you know, stars are like specks in the universe which are light years away from us. Sun's size ranged from dime to quarter which it is only 93 million miles away from us which its diameter is 875,000 miles.

    Suppose we can see Betelgeuse and VY Canis Majoris if their sizes are either dime or quarter, how far would those supergiant stars be from where we can see those sizes?

    Facts:

    Betelgeuse is 640 light years from Earth. Its diameter is 860 million miles.

    VY Canis Majoris is 4,900 light years from Earth. Its diameter is 1.7 billion miles.

    1 light year is 5.8 trillion miles.

  • Can we see Yellowstone Caldera by using Google Earth?

    In order to find Yellowstone Caldera, people had to use the satellite because it is so huge. I am wondering how they can tell that it is a caldera. The reason I am asking is because I cannot tell if it is caldera by using Google Earth.

    Is Yellowstone Caldera like the giant crater?

  • Why does the check engine light come on for 1996 Honda Accord LX?

    In past, the check engine light never came on until I took the car into the shop to replace the steering rack. When I picked the car next morning, the check engine light came on. I took it back and was told that it was due to battery being disconnected while they worked on the car. It will go away.

    The check engine light did go away, but resurfaced next day while I was in other town. I checked the engine and it looked normal to me (including radiator and etc..). I do not feel anything funny while driving...

    Can you tell me what is wrong with it? Perhaps a minor something? or was the mechanic corrected that it will go away due to battery being disconnected?

    Thanks,

  • Why does Comcast disconnect VP-200 user once an hour on average?

    Comcast has been disconnecting my VP-200 session once an hour on average. VP-200 is a videophone device which I talk to deaf or hard of hearing users. Many deaf people have been saying that Comcast kicked them off if they have been talking too long.

    Is this against FCC for Comcast to do this?
