Comment on Mom plus sickness equals smart kids by 4jaredw

Those are some weird statistics, but they are statistics, so they must be true. Hm… so your saying if I feed my mother bad food, she will get sick and throw up, and as she’s throwing up I will magically develop 10x the amount of brain cells that I’d normally develop. Makes perfect sense. I still don’t see how this at all would affect how smart you are.

Some plates are moving apart some are moving together. These particular plates happen to be moving apart thus making a depression in the ground and eventually forming an ocean.

Comment on Rats: the next junk food addicts by 4joeyh

I think a diet wont hurt the United States. reserch shows More than one-third of adults, or over 72 million people, were obese in 2005-2006, and the numbers are growing. the rats on the other hand work harder and more efficent when on junk food? i dont know how that works.

Comment on Scientists examine the disease carrying capacity of rats by 2tiffanyt

I do think that this needs to be investigated more! If and when we stop researching it, is when things get spread. I think that this problem can be handled by taking the time to pay attention to what the rats may be carrying. We can also treat early or identify those things that they are already carrying.

I do think that maybe they will be one but it’s not something to worry about. I personally think all the stuff happening around us are the signs of Jesus coming back.So if Arabia and Africa are splitting apart then don’t get caught in the water!!

Comment on Smile! It might just make you happy by 4joeyh

i dont think changing your facial expression will change your mood because smiling can be faked, it could be done to hide anger or pain. facial expressions do change other peoples moods though. walking down the street and seeing someone else smile can be a day changer and make you happy.

Comment on Fitness Levels Decline With Age, Especially After 45 by 2angelicaa

I think my family dosen’t get enough exersize. We hardly ever go out for fast food but things you make can be just as unhealthy. We sometimes go out walking and me and my sister run, but we haven’t lately because we are so busy with school work and other activities. The nice thing is that when you do go you have alot of time to think or the rest of the world and your problems melt away for a while.

I think that adventually there will be another ocean because the technonic plates are always shifting, and since there is already a gap thats going further apart instead of closer together, I think there will be.

Comment on Is a Smart Car The Next Gas Saver? by 2shanek

The car may save gas but when you have to take 12 trips to the store you’re just wasting gas and your tin foil compared to any other car that hit you. If I had the choice no I wouldn’t take the car’ it’s just too flimsy.

I think that eventually they will be connected and slowly build a mountain after connecting to a couple of other of places along the way. I think that the possibiliy of another ocean is great but I would have to memmorize another location and name. The more areas that carry water the better.

Comment on Do Both Genders Of Mosquitoes Drink Blood? by 5kristenp

I agree that mosquitoes are good for nothing all they do is make you itch and give you all sorts of diseases.

That is amazing how the volcano could effect the land like that to split it open. I think that this will effect africa severly.

I don’t think mosquitoes are good for anything. They just suck your blood, so that they can make more little blood sucking pests! I’m just glad they aren’t out in the winter, at least it’s only the summer and early fall! I think they feed at dawn and dusk because the temperature is cooler. Or maybe they feed at dawn because most of us are sleeping and we’re easy targets! No, I’m just kidding.

I think that my parents don’t get enough excercise. But neither do I. We’re all just so busy all the time! Maybe once tennis starts in the spring though, I’ll get more excercise. Some things we can do to live healthier lives are make excercising a part of our regular routine, make sure we’re eating healthy foods, and to not skip any meals.

Comment on The Secret History Of H1N1 by 5amberc

The swine flu is the exact same thing as influenza A but it hits a different age group. So what you should do to prevent yourself from getting it the same a the regular flu wash your hands after contact with people that seem to be sick.
