Lennon and McCartney wrote songs and gave them to other groups, but are there any recordings, studio or other-?
wise of the Beatles themselves doing these songs? Such as "World Without Love" (given to Peter and Gordon), "From A Window" (given to BIlly J Kramer), etc. I am more than curious to hear the Beatles' renditions of these songs that were never issued by them.

2 AnswersWords & Wordplay8 years agoWe all know that sex with a minor is illegal. But what happens when a 14yo boy does it with a 14yo girl?
Which one is liable for having sex with a minor? The boy or the girl? And to make my point clearer, neither claims rape. I believe that my question is not just being academic.

3 AnswersComics & Animation8 years agoWhat will determine the end of this Holocene era and thus the start of the next era?
I can't imagine how this determination will be met since the nomenclature and idea of past epochs and eras were only determined in the past few hundred years, if that. My point being is that at some point in the future someone is going to need to say that the Holocene is over and the [new name] has just begun. What would, what could bring on the next era?

4 AnswersNon-Alcoholic Drinks9 years agoWhat would be the odds of having a total lunar eclipse of a blue moon in February?
It must be possible. The moon's orbital period is less than 28days. That event would be simply astounding. (And please, I did not answer my own question.)
1 AnswerAstronomy & Space9 years agoCould there conceivably be an opposite disease to progeria?
We already have opposing body conditions, like giantism to dwarfism, total baldness to total hair covering every square inch, etc. Progeria is that rare one that cause the body to accelerate aging so that a 13yo boy has the body of an 80yo man. If there was an opposing "disease" of repressed aging, then how could that person/persons be detected. I know this sounds like an episode from Twilight Zone, but I keep thinking about the possibility.
