    Re: Some really confusing things...

    I can answer some...

    5) Although it's not exactly possible to know if fish consciously feel thirst, it is possible to know that they need to drink in varying quantities, for example, large amounts if they're salt water fish and small amounts if they are fresh water fish. So of fish need to regulate their water intake depending on the concentration of salt it is possible they feel thirst and non-thirst as a means of regulation.

    7) Because it's still wet inside the tube and is sealed from air, and only dries when exposed to air.

    12) Yes, but tears don't roll, they just kind of diffuse out.

    13) Because in fiction the "hero" nearly always seems to resemble the societal standard of beauty at the time of production, even if they've just been through a hurricane or a tidal wave.

    Re: Some really confusing things...

    3/ Why do the speed meters on cars go up to speeds that are both completely illegal and well beyond the capability of the car?
    If there were no accidents, then emergency rooms at hospitals would be pointless. You can't just build expensive emergency care centers with the latest fancy medicare equipment - only for there to be no accidents. That's just clearly a grave injustice.

    4/ Orange; which came 1st the fruit or colour?
    I can declare with certainty that Orange came first.

    5/ Do fish ever get thirsty?
    That's like asking if birds suffocate from a lack of air.

    Ofcourse they do.

    6/ Why do we pres harder on a remote when we know the batteries are flat?
    We obviously press harder because we need to perform CPR on the dying batteries.

    8/ If it is true that we are here to help other what are the others doing?
    Waiting for the help.

    10/ Why do people pay to go up tall buildings then put money into bicoculars to look at things on the ground?
    They are attempting suicide and they use the binoculars to spot a good landing space.

    because then you don't have enough money in your account to earn them enough interest to pay the expenses related to your account. If you have $10,000 in the account and the bank charges 8% interest, you earn them enough to cover expenses & even if you have your money in checking account where they can't lend your money to anyone and earn interest, you still increase their reserves, a percent of total deposits that the bank must keep and can't lend to others. Your 10,000 frees up 10,000 in the savings accounts which they can then lend. so no matter which type of account you put your money in, you help the bank.

    Re: Some really confusing things...

    1- becuase the bank is using their own money to pay for you.

    2- to company who got no business giving the money back to the nation.

    3- to cut the car ahead of you

    4- the fruit. If the fruit was called blue then most probably the color orange would have been called blue.

    5- no.

    6-

    7- try and leave the tube open.

    8- Needing help.

    9- square box is easier to make.
