The end of the worlds.

t0mmyy @t0mmyy (8) • Netherlands 5 Jul 10

Hey guys! Do you believe in the Nibiru in the year 2012? I don`t think so,but i see lots of internet surfers talking about that,something like "I`m really scaried,i`m too young to die!" and similar comments. What`s your opinion?

merlinsorca Yeah, the world is most likely not going to end in 2012. It's just that humans like to say things like this once in a while, to scare each other or to have fun. There were many other doomsday predictions in the past (Y2K for example, but the year 2000 came and...

Substitute of Wikipedia?

JackRoy @JackRoy (243) • United States 6 Nov 10

Is there any website that can substitute Wikipedia? What do you think? To me this very site is of immense help whatever the subject may be. It is really tough for me to consider any site instead of Wikipedia for gaining knowledge....

merlinsorca Probably not, because Wikipedia is really the best when it comes to providing information. Wikipedia is definitely one of the most visited sites in the world, and they so many articles because everyone is allowed to edit. Wikipedia takes all the information...

change in time

savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 7 Nov 10

Each year we change our time one hour forward for Spring and one hour back for Autumn. I understand why this is done, but it certianly upsets my system for about a week. How well do you adjust to this custom?

merlinsorca We do that in our country too. It doesn't really make a difference to me, because most of my things automatically change the time one hour. And it happens when I'm asleep so by the time I wake up the time doesn't matter to me; since everyone and everything...

merlinsorca I have a very, very scary monster under my bed. It's invisible and it doesn't make a sound, so I never know where it is or what it's doing. And no one believes me when I say there's a monster under my bed. That's right, the monster doesn't exist!...

Do you think that humanity will reach the point of interstellar space travelling

Andyvil @Andyvil (793) • Philippines 14 Jul 10

merlinsorca Humans should eventually be able to become that advanced, but it will probably not be in our lifetimes. But it is very unpredictable because right now humans are advancing very quickly, and in the future we will advance even faster. I think that interstellar...

merlinsorca I currently use Avast! Antivirus, and it is probably one of the best anti-virus software out there. It works very well and I got almost no viruses since I started using it. It scans all websites you visit and blocks any virus that it detects. And you can...

Are you impulsive?

Porcospino @Porcospino (31366) • Denmark 9 Jul 10

When you want to start a new discussion do you usually think about your topic for some time before you post it or are you more impulsive and do you tend to start discussions straight way if you get an idea? Did you ever regret...

new discussion

12 responses

merlinsorca I think that I am the opposite of impulsive; most of the time I can think about a discussion for days before I actually start one. Sometimes, I just think of a discussion but never start it. It's like I plan some topics that I could start, and after a while I...

merlinsorca What I would say is a quality response is one that is very detailed and answers the discussion and more. Even though you don't need 3-4 lines to answer everything, I would say that it's still a bit important. I mean, a one-line response could work but...

if mars have earthquake should it be called marsquake?

merlinsorca That depends, actually. If you're talking about Martians who live on Mars then they would not have named their planet Mars. Instead, they are more likely to name their planet something in their language. Maybe Martians name their planet Earth, just like we do....

Say lies to prove you are true

In order to prove that I am telling truth, I have forced to say lies. I have faced several times with this issue. Have anyone faced such a situation ever?? Thank-s

merlinsorca Yeah, I think I know what you mean. Some people just don't believe me when I tell the whole truth, they just don't listen to me. It's because sometimes the truth is unbelievable. Then I am forced to make a lie to prove to them that it's the truth.
