technically its not pure. it's like, 99% or something... apparently alcohol's hydrophilic which means that it can't help but bond with water. so it does, with water vapour in the air.

that's what comes of paying attention in chemistry classes.

now for physics: didja know the moon rotates at such a rate that the same side always faces the earth? we only ever see one side.

actually, you guys probably already knew that.

hey someone tell me if this is just stupid:

if women have xx chromosomes, and men have xy chromosomes, does that mean men somehow evolved from women? cos all the other chromosomes are in pairs, but guys have a weirded set.

What you say isn't really stupid.... people who don't ask questions are stupid...

Anyway, I think it's doubtful because that would mean women were reproducing asexually (or other means, don't ask me what...) and somehow a new species evolved which somehow became a neccesity for reproduction which seems really gnarled...

WARNING: Do not read if you ever want to have sex with a women ever (again)!!!

So basically, women are men with extra coding. And you know what the extra coding does? It doesn't negate or destroy the male coding, it simply supresses it. The male coding is still there and is still active, it's just that the extra hormones produced as a result of the extra coding enhances things like breast and supresses things like penis code.

And now for the sickness: What do you think a clit is?


And actually, shooting stars are meteroids methinks. Meteorite = Massive, Meteor = Small, Meteroid = Burns up before it hits the ground. Or such is my understanding.
