Well there go all my solutions...
If there were an astronaut floating in space, not connected to anything, would he slowly be dragged towards the sun because of it's gravitational pull?

DT: They use wireless headphones.
SnV: You missing many words question.
Pez: No, he would not. A few things about space need to be explained before I can answer this. First of all, when any object is in orbit around the Earth, it is traveling at just the right velocity to remain in continuous freefall. Any slower and it would fall towards Earth. Any faster and it would escape the pull of Earth's gravity. When an astronaut escapes the pull of Earth's gravity, he is already traveling fast enough to escape the pull of our sun's gravity, as evident by the Earth is travelling fast enough to stay in orbit around the sun.

Here is what SnV said:
How can dispatch of a incredibly annoying git at my school who is standing in the way me, Darkclown_32 and Tazza744244 taking over the world? We would prefer a non-violent solution.
Here is what he meant:
How can ^I^ dispatch of a incredibly annoying git (girl?) at my school who is standing in the way ^of^ me, Darkclown_32 and Tazza744244 (Darkclown_32, Tazza744244, and I) ^from^ taking over the world? We would prefer a non-violent solution.
(Is grammar errors) ^Inserting missing words^

With a clarified question comes a clarified answer:
Be yourself. Your personality might just be enough to drive he or she away.

If the "Cold" virus is always changing, what exactly do cold medicines do?

Cold medicines don't actually help get rid of the cold. They help allieviate the symptoms, like fever, runny nose, coughing, ect...
You're right that the cold virus has thousands of different forms, and every time one infects the body, your body responds and tries to kill it. They symptoms you get are part of your body's way of dealing with the disease, so taking medicine to relieve symptoms might delay the end of the illness.

i gots a question
why do marshmallows get so big when you put them in the microwave
Posted: Thu Feb 13, 2003 10:29 pm

1) You'll just have to find her, won't you?
2) Yes, they can.
3) Personally, that doesn't cause me pain. But it's entirely possible that the short hairs are rubbing up against your back and your shirt and just causing plain irritation. Sorry, but there's nothing to do about this.

Marshmallows explode in the microwave because the gas inside the marshmallow heats up and expands, taking the marshmallow with it. When the marshmallow expands to the point where it can't hold itself together anymore, it explodes.
