Why does fire appear to have substance?
When you look at a flame, it appears as though it has actual substance and you could touch it, but it's nothing more than a release of energy... Does anyone know why it appears this way?
6 AnswersChemistry8 years ago"Timmy goes to the beach" tapes from around 15 years ago?
I used to get tapes from my library that were a series with titles along the lines of 'timmy goes to the beach'. I can't for the life of me remember what they were actually called, and I wanted to buy them.
I particularly remember one where his dad's car gets sat on by an elephant, and another where they stay in a B&B and he has adventures with shoes and I think the cellar as well...

5 AnswersHistory9 years agoCan you name this song?
"I could spend my life,
In this sweet surrender,
Watch you smile while you're sleeping,
When you're far away and dreaming,
And I'd lie close to you,
Feeling your heart beating....
And every moment that I spend with you
Is a moment I'll treasure,
For ever and ever.
I don't wanna close my eyes,
I don't wanna fall asleep,
Cos I'll miss you baby,
And I don't want to miss a thing."
That's pretty much how it goes, but I can't for the life of me remember what it's called.
9 AnswersLyrics10 years agoSharp pain in abdomen?
Since this morning, I have had a sharp pain in my right lower abdomen, about where my appendix is, level with my belly button. It doesn't hurt at all when I sit down, but when I stand or use my stomah muscles in any way, it starts to hurt again. Since I woke up, it hurts less. When I first woke up, It was a sharp, cramping pain, but not so bad I felt I had to take anything for it. Now, it is more like a throbbing pain when I stand up.
I don't have a fever or feel sick in any way.
In a way, it feels like really bad period pain, only it is not in the right place.
I'm a 15 year old girl, have never had any problems or surgery in my abdomen and my period is due in a week.

I'm a bit confused about satellites... Not man-made satellites, though. Do satellites always orbit planets? Are moons the sane as satellites?
4 AnswersAstronomy & Space1 decade agoCake makers: how do I stop coloured icing sticking when rolling it out?
I'm making a cake for my friend and I'm using brown chocolate flavoured icing (it's premade) How do I stop it sticking when I roll it out? I was told not to use cornflour or icing sugar because it would mark the icing.
Should I use Trex (it's like vegetable fat) instead? Or should I use cocoa powder? Help!

5 AnswersWomen's Health1 decade agoMeasuring my bra size?
I measured my ribcage and added 4 inches like you're meant to do, so I know that's 36.
How am I supposed to measure my bust and get the right size? I measured it at 35".
My last bra was a B, but I've grown out of it.
I don't want to have to get fitted, I just want to know if i should be a B or C or D.

1 AnswerCell Phones & Plans1 decade agoI get bullied on the bus?
I get the bus home after school, and there's a group of people who sit behind me sometimes. They pull my hair or blow it and it's really annoying and they won't leave me alone if I sit near them. They leave my friend alone and I've never done anything to them. How can I stop this from happening without involving adults? (there's no point as teachers can't act off the school site, and I can't get my mum to follow me around on the bus). It's a school bus, which they're cancelling soon, and I do have other ways of getting home.
13 AnswersAdolescent1 decade agoWhy do people stereotype?
It's really annoying that people have to stereotype everyone. For example, Brits are not all posh and drink tea with scones, blondes aren't completley stupid and Americans aren't fat slobs. It just doesn't make sense. In fact, i don't remember meeting anyone who lives up to these expectations.
