I would, but does it make sense to call my penis “effeminate”? Screw it, I’m gonna take it down with my teeth.

ETA: In the meantime, you still owe me 23 questions.

42

To cure that, you must wrestle down an 8-point buck and beat it down with your erect penis.

After that, prepare the buck with a 3 inch paring knife.
Then, and not a moment sooner, we can stop calling your hands effeminate.

And now, I must properly stomp the girl out in Mario Kart Wii.

43

That reminds me, I got some more Zelda: Twilight Princess to play.

44

Game’s still in session. Whoever wants to play, please post some questions (no more than 25) and I’ll get to them soon.

45

Ooh! I’ll play

1 - What is the approximate value of the speed of light in meters per second?
2 - What is the formula for determining the kinetic energy of an object moving in a straight line?
3 - What is the last element created by fusion in the core of a massive star before it collapses?

46

  1. Ugh! The metric system. If I’m remembering how to do this right it comes out to around 3,000,000 m/ps

  2. KE = MV^2? Gah, I think that’s right.

  3. Iron?

47

Drat.

1 - 300,000,000 m/s X
2 - KE= (1/2)MV^2 X
3 - Iron

Dammit! Didn’t make it in time! I rechecked my math, and saw I was off by a factor of 100. I came back here to post 300,000,000 m/ps. I’m gonna give it to you, since in all honesty I got the answer, even though I missed the edit window.

So you’re at +1.

P.S. OHH! The 1/2! Shit. It’s been a while since the 8th grade. :wink:

49

I’m extremely meh over that game. I think I’ve played it three hours.

50

Yeh, it’s really sloooow going at first, but after you get past the lame “pre-game” stuff, it picks up. Just finished the first dungeon. On to the next…

51

I’m past that part and I’m in the first dungeon…ah, I’ll stop hijacking.

52

I think I scared nameless of with my sheer, unabashed ignorance.

  1. Why is the sky blue?
  2. What are the two types of transport tissue in plants?
  3. A _____ is a crystal that can separate light into its 7 colors of the spectrum.
  4. When a volcano erupts, it gives forth lava. However, what is the term used for the molten rock while still underground?
  5. _____ ___ is the largest volcano on earth.
  6. The moon is known to be a cause of the Earth’s tides. What other object affects tides as well?
  7. After gigabyte comes the terabyte, at 1000 gigabytes. What unit of data storage is comprised of 1000 terabytes?
  8. What are the three periods of human history that classifies pre-historic societies?
  9. What is the process called by which water diffuses through a permeable barrier or cell wall from a high-solute solution to a lower-solute solution?
  10. All cats can purr, despite older records that state otherwise. However, cats in the genus Panthera can only purr when _____.
54

  1. Simple explanation is that the make up of our atmosphere happens to be good at absorbing longer wavelengths of light, and scattering/diffusing the shorter, bluish wavelengths.

  2. Capillaries and… i got nuthin’

  3. Prism

  4. Magma

  5. Active: I think it’s in Hawaii… Mt. Kilauea? Inactive: Yellowstone?

  6. The Sun

  7. Petabyte?

  8. Stone age, Neolithic, Umm… GAH! Not even sure I was on the right track there?

  9. Osmosis?

  10. In heat?

  1. This one is iffy. As I said cellular structure, and you named a pigment (had you said Chloroplasts, this would have been correct easily). However, technically you are correct though, and I’ll give you this one.
  2. Uracil (U) is found only in RNA and not DNA.
  3. You got 50% though! Occipital, Frontal, Temporal [includes smell and sound], and Parietal.
  4. And yeah, this bag of hormones is what remains in the Ovary after Ovulation of an oocyte.
  5. Anopheles mosquito.

Okay, time to redeem yourself, let’s get easier on the Bio and try some Chem:

  1. Put these in order from first to last: ileum, jejunum, stomach, duodenum, colon.
  2. What metallic element is found inside of Red Blood Cells that gives its oxygen binding properties?
  3. Name a Noble Gas.
  4. Name one of two elements are liquid at room temperature [25 C].
  5. What is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle?

GAH! Chloroplasts. That’s the word I was looking for. And in hindsight, I should’ve been able to guess Temporal, but Parietal rings no bells, but now I’ve learned something.

Also 1 - 4 = -3 :wink:

Adjusteth thy score!

Okay, I know a little about our digestive system… But I’m guessing on like 30% here.
6) Stomach kicks it off, Duodenum leads to… and this is where I’m taking a stab, jejunum; then ileum then, obviously, colon? (please lord, I don’t ask for much).

  1. Hemoglobin contains Iron.

  2. The lightest: Helium

  3. Mercury; and I think there was a thread just recently that mentioned Bromine?

  4. In QM, one can never know the position and the velocity of a sub-atomic particle, such as an electron, at any given moment. The more you detect one aspect, the less you can detect the other.

60

1)Name two types of molecular compounds.
2)Name a group of elements on the periodic table.
3)The atomic number of an element gives what information about that element?
4)What else could you call a hydrogen atom that has lost its electron?
