amyoftherealm My freshman 15 went in the reverse direction! All of my friends gained weight, but I dropped 10 my first semester, then another 5 the second.

amyoftherealm I absolutely love Henry IV pt. 1. Hal is one of the most complex characters I have ever read, and anything with Falstaff is good for a cheap laugh here and there :)

Where's pluto?

JannaLee @JannaLee (660) • Philippines 7 Sep 08

Since I'm not that updated with the things around me. I was shocked to learn that Pluto is not included in the 9 planets. My niece was playing a game online, she has to identify the planets according to their location and their...

planets

amyoftherealm One of the problems with Pluto is that it did not clear the space around it. As for why we can define planets, we assigned the term to planets in the first place. The distinction between planets and dwarf planets is just a somewhat arbitrary...

Have you seen a comet?

sushihunk26 @sushihunk26 (196) • Philippines 27 Sep 08

Comets are composed of rock and dust bound together by ice. The ice changes to vapor when the comet is near the sun. It produces an amazing tail when it reaches the sun. They say that a comet brings luck to everyone. The...

amyoftherealm I have not seen Halley's comet, but I did see Comet Holmes (17P/Holmes) a little over a year ago when it was in Perseus. It was amazing! I saw it both naked eye and with an 8" reflecting telescope.

amyoftherealm The atmospheric effect makes the moon look bigger when it is near the horizon. What actually happened last night was that the moon was full while at perigee (the closest point to the earth in its elliptical orbit). This is the closest we have been in space to...

If you have watched the national news lately you have probably heard about the $100.000 tool pouch that was lost off the space station. The said yesterday the tool pouch would fall to earth and burn up before it gets to earth....

amyoftherealm The space station is definitely NOT stationary. Technically, it and all other objects in orbit are constantly falling towards the Earth; the station is moving faster than the minimum orbital velocity but slower than the minimum escape velocity. Yes, the Earth...

If given a chance to travel to space, would you enjoy the trip.

ketybhagat @ketybhagat (4123) • India 7 Dec 08

I would go crazy with happiness if ever I get a chance to travel to space. I always wonder what it would be like to be in total space, seeing the stars and planets, the milky way etc. with my own eyes. I know it could be even...

amyoftherealm I would love to travel to space! And I will admit that at least one night a week I have a dream about going to the moon and sometimes about going to other planets. I know a former NASA shuttle commander, and every time I see her all I want to do is listen to...

amyoftherealm Over the years I've had a SNES, N64, GC, XBox, PS2, and Wii, but I don't think any of the later ones have managed to trump the SNES. There was something great about the simplicity (probably because it didn't occur to me at the time that video games could be...

Does The Nintendo Wii Fit really make you lose weight?

kissuchi2002 @kissuchi2002 (49) • United States 2 Dec 08

I'm too lazy to work out, but I love video games. I was wondering if any of you who have experience playing wii would tell me if the sport games or the wii fit is really a good option for lazy people like me to get our butts off...

amyoftherealm WiiFit and WiiSports are both certainly better than nothing, but you still need to be able to self-motivate. You can get by with minimal effort, so they really don't work unless you are willing to put in the effort. I have been using a WiiFit for about 3.5...
