Why are dogs and cats noses always wet?

They aren't always wet, but there are a couple of reasons that cats and dogs try to keep their noses wet. They lick their noses to assist in their sense of smell, clean their nose, and to help regulate their body temperature. Usually the wetness is from licking, but it can also be from a runny nose (i.e. mucus)

have you read starship troopers?  and if so what did you think of it?

I haven't read Starship Troopers but I have seen the movies. They're everything one could want out of a gritty, over the top sci-fi series.

 

American Dad, Family Guy, The Simpsons, or Futurama? 

The Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy, and American Dad. In that order.

How many times does the average person blink their eye lids in one day?

 

The average adult blinks between 10 and 20 times per minute, so let's call it 15 times per minute. There are 60 minutes in one hour, so 15*60 = 900 blinks per hour. 24 hours in one day means 900*24 = 21,600 blinks per day.

 

Who do you think is going all the way for March Madness? (Obviously going to be Notre Dame, but still thought I'd ask :D)

There's a really good chance that Kentucky is going to win this time around, but we'll see.

Would you kill someone? If so who?

What game do you prefer halo 4 or halo 3?

Nah, I wouldn't kill someone. If someone angered me to the point where I was considering killing them, I'd probably just kidnap them and torture them for a while. Much more satisfying than simply killing someone.

 

I liked the multiplayer of Halo 3 the most, but enjoyed the campaign of Halo 4 just a tad bit more than Halo 3's.

So that would mean the average person in 1 year would blink 7,884,000 times? That means if a person lived for 50 years,  he/she blinked 394,200,000 times? Am I correct?

If there was a day where anything was legal (no rules, kind of like The Purge), what would you do?

Probably just defend my home. Everyone would be acting all crazy, and I genuinely wouldn't have anything else I'd want to do.

21,600 times 365.242 = 7,889,227.2 blinks per year, which means 394,461,360 blinks per 50 years. You forgot the quarter of a day, but other than that, yes you were correct.

 

Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?

Yes, he did. Fifteen years ago.

What's the point of silent letters in words?

At first glance, the answer would be that there's no point at all. However, there's a few reasons for them.

 

One reason is to distinguish between homonyms (e.g. be, bee or their, there, they're). Another common reason for a silent letter is that the word is shortened from another longer word. Like the n in damn, because damn is from the word damnation. 

 

Another theorized reason is that some silent letters were added to the spelling of certain words when education became an important part of one's social standing, so that someone who was educated would be able to tell when someone who was not educated was attempting to pretend to be. People who have not received formal education tend to spell phonetically, so they would exclude the silent letters from their writings.

 

What is average life span changes of Humans from the 15th Century to now?

Well, let's see. In the 1500's life expectancy was about 27 years (based on some notoriously inaccurate findings, mind you) and today life expectancy is about 67 years or so. 

 

Mind you, we only started keeping track of this statistic relatively recently, and it varies wildly nation to nation. For instance, the current life expectancy in Japan is 82 years, while in Mozambique it's only 42.

Are we going to do something about xbox sending people over to us instead of waypoint because every so often I find people being sent by xbox then I have to tell them to go over to waypoint I don't mind it just gets on my nerves sometimes or we could make a topic or forum about it.

We've attempted to in the past, and they've informed their call center employees to stop googling (or binging) 343i whenever someone calls in about Halo. However, that doesn't stop the idiots from doing it anyway.

 

1. Why is Twam so mysterious?

 

2. What would be one magical form of transportation you would like to try but doesn't exist?

 

3. Why doesn't Azaxx show emotion?

1. I don't speak for Twam, but I'd wager that it's because of how busy he is. That and he might be all shy and stuff.

 

2. Instantaneous Teleportation

 

3. He does. If you annoy/anger him enough. :troll:

 

Am I a good member (got to tell truth) I really want to know also do I make you proud?

Well, considering I don't recall having to ban you, then I'd say yes you are. Also, I don't get proud of other people.

 

What is pi×pi?

Roughly 9.86960440109

 

Is pokémon an anime?

Yes, it is. It's also a video game and a trading card game.
