  • Is it necessary to keep all the old "Security Updates" on my laptop?

    I was looking thru my laptops downloaded files and i noticed that the was a lot of updates aprox. 200 of them over the past two years. They are "Security Update for Windows Internet Explorer 8" "Media Player", and "Windows XP". And there about 20 of them dont say Security (they are just regular updates?) Anyways...All most all of them are around 600,00 to 625,00KB. Is it really necessary for there to be all those old updates on my laptop? Would it be ok to delete some the older ones? And what would be the best way to do so.

  • My cat just took a lick out of my glass of milk! Should I still drink it?

    I was having a snack with a ice cold glass of milk. The milk was sitting on my end table right next to me and I havent even took a drink of it yet. When out of the corner of my eye I see my cat take a drink out of it! I yelled, he ran. I think he got 2 licks in. Does anyone think any harm will come to me if I still drank it? Its still filled to the top, ice cold in a frosty mug. I hate to dump it out, I really want to drink it, but I'm not sure of any health risk that might come of it. So..... DRINK IT or DUMP IT , Whats your vote?

  • WTF China??? I bought a small frying pan from a local discount store. When ...?

    removing the price tag I noticed another sticker. The print on it was so small that I had to use a magnifying glass to read. And this is what it said:

    "Made in China

    State of California

    Prop 65

    Warning

    This Product Contains DEHP, A Phthalate Chemical,

    Lead and other Chemicals Known to the State of

    California To Cause Cancer, Birth Defects And Other

    Reproductive harm."

    So what is up with that, Why would a frying pan be made out of such harmful material?

    I guess its my bad for buying it from a discount store, and it only cost $1.49. But just because Im thrifty, that doesn't I want to poison me or my family or expose them to cancer, lead and all that other crap. Knowing this I wouldn't even buy it for my enemies. So I was wondering how they are even able to sell this idem? Maid to cook food in, knowing all its harmful effects. What I just want to know is...

    "CHINA W T F?????"

  • Do gnats bite humans? I've killed a couple of them in my kitchen and they were full of blood.?

    I also noticed red bumps or bites on my fore arms and shoulders, Areas of skin that is normally exposed when Im at home. But they not really itchy, they almost kind of hurt a little.

    I checked out Yahoo Answers past questions on this subject matter, and got mixed results. About half of the answers said yes they do bite humans and the other half said no they for sure don't bite humans, So I don't know what to think. All I know is that I did see blood when I smashed them with a tissue, And the red bumps/bites are only on exposed skin areas.

    So Im hoping that someone can tell me for sure if they do bite us or not!

    So please excuse me if this is in the wrong catagory. Just try to get different oppions.

  • hey everyone! happy shark week! i've been...?

    watching all these shows on the discovery channel, and right know i'm watching the great whites at seal island off the coast of south Africa. and was wondering ... you know how the sharks swim around they have there entourage following close to there body. i guess they are the cleaner's and what not's for the sharks, well anyways I wonder what happens to them then the great white purge the surface. it doesn't look like the jump out of the water with there host. do they wait below for there shark to come back or what? just a thought i had watching all this shark stuff. my five year old thinks that the sharks eat them after they get back in the water.

    i think all these people on these shows are out of there minds going in the water with these animals chumming the water, hand feeding them and then trying to catch a ride on there dorsal fin, i wonder how many people got hurt filming this stuff?

  • Does anyone really think that Mosquito-eaters really eat mosquito's??? I never...?

    These bugs kinda freak me out. They remind me of some kind of clumsy fairy stumbling all over the place through the air. Trying to find a place to land. And some people say that they have stingers there self. So I guess what Im asking is:

    *Has anyone ever seen a Mosquito-eater eat a mosquito? and

    *Does anyone know of anybody getting stung by a Mosquito-eater?
