1 AnswerZoology9 years agoConfusion about gay marriage?
So as everyone knows it is illegal for same-sex couples to marry each other even though there's nothing wrong with it. Lets say Bill Smith and Tim Karr are in love and wish they could marry, but they simply can't. Would there be a way for Bill to take Tim's last name legally or vice-versa without being married. A name change? So Bill can be Bill Karr?

1 AnswerPhotography9 years agoQuestion about zombies?
I'm working on a novel with zombies and I'm stuck on explaining something. (The zombies in it do not come back to life from graves, its a virus contracted through bites, scratches, and saliva. I live in an area that Pronghorn are very prominent in the city. It wouldn't be a surprise to find one grazing in your front yard.
My question: Let's say some of these Pronghorn become infected, after their transition... Do they attack mammals like human zombies do or do they go on a crazed hunt for shrubs and grassland and constantly eat it?!
I prefer them to attack humans but I'm not quite sure it makes as much sense. It's kind of like a rabies virus but the flesh rots throughout the days they walk the earth.
5 AnswersZoology9 years agoHelp! Zombies!????????
I have a broken ankle and Halloween is my favorite holiday. In my town we are all doing a zombiefest where everyone dresses up like zombies and we "over-run" the town. Last year I was a human survivor with fake blood all over my face and I used theatrical horror make-up for cuts. This year my friends and I are thinking about me being in a wheel chair all tied up. I will be a zombie and they will be nurses that are keeping me tied down to find a cure for the virus. We figured that a wheel chair would go perfectly with this because of the fact that I really don't want to miss out on it because I cannot walk.
My question is... how can I get ahold of some kind of outfit to make me seem like a patient in a hospital. One of those gowns. I can't just go to the hospital and ask them for one... It was easy to get scrubs for my friends but... yeah.
1 AnswerOther - Visual Arts9 years agoHelp with Tablet Advice?
I won a NOOK Tablet from a contest. I honestly thought that it was just like a Kindle Fire and was excited to get it. It turns out, and this is putting it kindly, the NOOK is a piece of ****... I want to turn it in and get a Kindle Fire instead but I don't think that's possible. I won it, I didn't buy it, so there's no way to return it right?
I want to have google play on the device and it seems down right impossible because I would have to Root it? I'm not very good at technology stuff so I have no clue how to do that. I've tried watching videos online on how to do it with an SD card but I just can't do it.
1 AnswerOther - Computers9 years agoEdited my question for a second round?
There was a lot of confusion among the answers so I'm going into depth with my question now. I need help determining which makes more sense. Was or were. The situation: A group of people are examining a street with dead bodies everywhere during a zombie apocalypse.
I say "Some of the bodies had their intestines and slabs of muscle pulled out through the stomach that remained on the pavement as if a freak was having a thanksgiving feast earlier and left its meal for something tastier."
So is it was or were... Or should I just revise the entire sentence?
... as if a freak were having a thanksgiving feast earlier and left its meal for something tastier.
... as if a freak was having a thanksgiving feast earlier and left its meal for something tastier.
FYI: the word freak in this quotation is the word that they use for zombie.

3 AnswersMathematics9 years agoHelp with Fasting?..............?
I am currently 260 lbs. Well somewhere around there. I want to lose weight. FAST. I'm starting to think about fasting. I think I can do it. Don't bother telling me how its unhealthy and all that stuff. I just have a quick question about it. I want to keep away from all food for a week to try it out and want to know how much weight I will lose. But, would it help me if I still drank water? Literally just water for a week. Will I lose weight at all if I still drink lots of water? Will I see better results if I keep away from food and drink? I will also be walking/jogging about 1 - 2 miles every night.
3 AnswersDiet & Fitness9 years agoadmitting my feelings?
The girl that I like is dating someone right now and that person moved away. They wont be back until a year from now. We're fresh out of high school and we all just graduated together. I really like this girl but I don't know the right moment to tell her. Do I just tell her now or do I wait until later on when she has been away from the other person for longer? I think that the person she's with will move on because their feelings for each other will die out slowly because of no contact. When is the right moment?
1 AnswerSingles & Dating9 years agoPlease help with Pet Laws.?
The laws in my town are that you can only have 4 dogs and cats in city limits. I live in city limits and I'm going to be honest. I have 11 animals. BUT! I really don't see myself as a "hoarder"
I take care of my animals and my house and backyard is big enough for them. I consider them my children, I love them. I feed and water them. They are well groomed and there is no bad smell in my house like many believe when you have so many pets living in your house. One husky that has it's own kennel in the backyard, two Pomeranians that stay inside. and the rest are cats that all stay indoors as well. All are vaccinated and what else can i say? I'm perfectly fine with financial issues when it comes to caring for them.
I have an ex-roommate that stole a bunch of my things and called animal control telling them that I don't care for my animals and that there's 15 cats and dogs. So I know they are going to be checking on my house pretty soon. What do I do? Do you think is even a possibility that they will let it slide after they see that I take proper care for them. I have a friend that works at the animal shelter and I know that if my pets are put in there they will wrongfully be considered feral and eventually euthanized because they are in a new environment... :(
6 AnswersOther - Pets9 years agoQuestion about Food Spoilage.?
I'm writing a novel and need some expert advice. The power is out in a grocery store for three days during a zombie apocalypse. A group of people has no food and on the third day they try to see if there's any food left in the grocery aisles. The shelves are all bare except for some iceberg lettuce, potatoes, trail mix, and whole carrots.
My question is... Will the lettuce and carrots already be rotten if they are not in a cold environment for three days?
