That's right ladies and gentlemen. I'm sure that more than a few of you have thought that I'm a know it all and here's my way to prove you right!

Ask me absolutely any question whether it's serious or not. I will answer anything. Don't believe me? Just try it and find out.

I have but one simple request; if I don't answer it immediately don't answer your own question just to prove me wrong. It takes time, especially if I'm not online. Sometimes I'm just too damn lazy to answer right away but I've made a Guru thread like this before and made it a little past 50 pages. I have yet to be stumped.

Have fun and fire away.

Ok... let's start this question answering now that you've all forgotten that you've asked them. sweatdrop

Questions for Theallpowerful

1. When there is a new annoucements in the Annoucements forum does it say updated (for you)?
I'm asking because lately it doesn't for me and before I try reporting it as a bug I wanted to see if it's just me.

2. If the world is round and gravity disappeared. At what rate would items that were not connected to the Earth's crust fall?

3. If Jamie shot Harry and Harry shot Suzie, would Suzie shoot Jamie or shoot Harry back?

4. If the government of the United States of America does know that there are Alien beings and spacecrafts visiting the planet why do they not admit to it?

5. Who was the real culprit of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy's assassination?

So easy that I had to decide which answer to give you.
Need I explain why we see certain colours? Besides the answer lying there I must also state that blue is the predominant colour in the sky because it is the predominant colour on Earth as well. Water reflects light much better than soil and that is why we see that reflection when we tilt our heads up.

It sounds as if you've already experimented with this theory. The answer depends on whether or not you've already made soup out of the shells and if there's some left inside. I doubt, though, that soup could make enough noise inside your pot to have a loud enough echo for you to notice it.

Well, around the time you posted this I hadn't been on Gaia much but I remember seeing it say new announcements. 3nodding
I haven't seen it in the past few days though. sweatdrop Mostly because it's only been two days since I've been able to see.

2. If the world is round and gravity disappeared. At what rate would items that were not connected to the Earth's crust fall?
Gravity would'nt spontaneously disappear. It's caused by the Earth's rotation. If gravity were to stop immediately , (if the planet were to stop) the objects on earth would continue and basically fling off the planet, never to return.

Realistically, the Earth would probably slow its rotation before stopping and therefore the objects would gradually begin to weigh less. Since this is a continuing motion I can not give you a specific time for the rate of falling for the objects unless you want me to describe every point on the line, which I simply will not do because of the time needed for such a task.

3. If Jamie shot Harry and Harry shot Suzie, would Suzie shoot Jamie or shoot Harry back?
You see... it really depends upon which Jamie, Suzie and Harry you're talking about. I mean, did Suzie survive the shooting long enough to shoot another? Are we even talking about guns, or are needles involved? Did Harry shoot Suzie because Jamie shot him? Does Suzie loath Jamie? Who does she loath more, if anybody. Does thei background play any role in this or are they strangers who are just shooting? Is Suzie obsessed with patterns? Did Suzie want to die?

I'm sorry, but your question was not specific enough so you have to be happy with an equally specific answer. Maybe she shot Jamie, but maybe she shot Harry, if she shot anyone at all.

4. If the government of the United States of America does know that there are Alien beings and spacecrafts visiting the planet why do they not admit to it?
You would be assuming that everyone (or at least the important members) in the government are fully aware of such things. Do you really believe that a president could know what's going on around him when he spends over 40% of his first 4 years in office on vacation and the rest of it doing public relations events and paper work? It took the man 4 years to even visit Canada.

So, why not tell him, you ask? Because he wouldn't understand. He'd be afraid of what he does not comprehend, as would the masses. He would declare them a threat, as would the commonfolk.

Sure, some people would be able to cope with the knowledge, but most would'nt. A person is smart, people are stupid. Fear spreads and many would give in to the public hysteria.

That would be the governments reasoning at least. I, personally disagree because it's not any different from the fear they already pump into people. Maybe the truth will be revealed one day, in a subtle way, when the big businesses feel they can make the largest profit.

5. Who was the real culprit of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy's assassination?
Hmmm... I see why you would ask this. Not who physically killed him but who arranged to have him killed.

So many people would like me to blame it on a bad upbringing or "stinkin' Commies" but you'd have to be daft to believe that the answer could be so simple, otherwise so many things would'nt have been covered up. Showing that they have something to hide rouses the suspicion of the public eye, again causing fear.
Kennedy was smart, charismatic and good at his job. The rest of the "government" didn't like that. He would soon, if not already, figure out that he wasn't truly in power. They had him eliminated and left subtle things that could be misinterpreted in many ways in order to rouse more fear.

How many people do you think were convinced by this event that they needed to protect themselves from "bad eggs" and "stinkin' Commies".

Me too, it's not that great. sweatdrop I wish we had the cape though. I've seen it on my boy avatar and it looks pretty cool, girls should be able to wear it too. sad
