Random things you have always wanted to know

Why girls are so complicated. :?

 

I love you, but don't wanna go out with you.

 

I mean, WHAT?

 

Multitude of reasons. Many girls prefer "bad boys" since they are more wild and thus are usually more experienced/better at sex, and many girls often have the instinct that they can "fix" a bad guy and turn him good. Trust me, many view men like "fix 'er upper" houses, they think "I love his muscles but I hate how he dresses, well I can change that I going to get him to be more polite too..."

 

 

 

Anyway that's one reason. They also often say they love you when they really don't but they don't want you to feel bad

Why the hell are zebras black and white, with vertical stripes against the horizontally split blue sky and dusty ground?

 

 

 

Surely that has to be the suckiest camouflage ever.

It is to hide in the grass from their colorblind predators the lion.

 

 

 

Wikipedia \/

 

 

 

Zoologists believe that the stripes act as a camouflage mechanism. This is accomplished in several ways. First, the vertical striping helps the zebra hide in grass. While seeming absurd at first glance considering that grass is neither white nor black, it is supposed to be effective against the zebra's main predator, the lion, which is color blind. Theoretically a zebra standing still in tall grass may not be noticed at all by a lion. Additionally, since zebras are herd animals, the stripes may help to confuse predators - a number of zebras standing or moving close together may appear as one large animal, making it more difficult for the lion to pick out any single zebra to attack.[3] A herd of zebras scattering to avoid a predator will also represent to that predator a confused mass of vertical stripes travelling in multiple directions making it difficult for the predator to track an individual visually as it separates from its herdmates, although biologists have never observed lions appearing confused by zebra stripes.

 

 

 

 

 

Closeup of a zebraStripes are also believed to play a role in social interactions, with slight variations of the pattern allowing the animals to distinguish between individuals.

 

 

 

A more recent theory, supported by experiment, posits that the disruptive coloration is also an effective means of confusing the visual system of the blood-sucking tsetse fly.[4] Alternative theories include that the stripes coincide with fat patterning beneath the skin, serving as a thermoregulatory mechanism for the zebra, and that wounds sustained disrupt the striping pattern to clearly indicate the fitness of the animal to potential mates.

its because when they are in herds it is hard for whatever animal is stalking it to tell one zebra from another thus confusing him.

 

 

 

i heard that somewhere. i think on Stanly.

It depends greatly upon the force used, surface area, and time duration of each lick :-k .

3.Why can't I walk upside down?

3. You just haven't practised enough. If you had stronger arms and better agility/balance, you'd be able to.

 

You don't need strong arms to do handstands (known from personal experience :oops: ). You just need to have good balance; balancing yourself properly almost seems to make your weight cancel itself out :-k .

 

 

 

So ya, if you want to get handstands down, get headstands/tripods down first, then have someone help you do handstands by holding your legs in place. Once you get to the point where you can do it safely on your own, it's just practice practice practice :P .

 

 

 

Looks like you are stronger than you think, I've just tested that on my little brother (I made him go into a handstand next to a wall) and he couldn't hold it for very long (by very long I mean 5 seconds) because his hands got tired :lol: (He's 11)

 

 

 

I did tripods and headstands before but in my opinion it's a lot more different than a handstand and it doesn't help you learn it. Here's a handstand tutorial.

Well, putting aside the fact that I'm a teenager and you're brothers only 11, being able to do a handstand at any given moment depends a lot on how tired you are (whether it be because of sleep or hunger, fatigue makes it harder to keep perfect balance), and how well you can balance. If your brother hasn't been doing it for a while, if his balance isn't great, then he'll get more tired not because of his own weight, but because of any overcompensating for imperfect balance.

 

 

 

Still, it's surprising that anyone would need to drop from a handstand after 5 seconds because of weight rather than balance. He should be pretty light at 11, so that makes it even harder for me to understand the concept :-s ; it should be easier to him in matters of weight to strength ratio. Sure he wasn't just losing his balance, or that his hands weren't positioned badly?

 

 

 

Nowadays, for me the biggest factor when it comes to doing extended handstands is the amount of blood rushing to my head once I get past one minute :lol: . Our bodies aren't exactly built to have gravity going the other way :-w .

Not necessarily. Fitness is divided into 4 categories. Improving one doesn't improve the others, but most athletic regiments try to train all four.

 

- Anaerobic (muscle mass)

 

- Aerobic (stamina)

 

- Flexibility (yoga)

 

- Coordination (coordination)

So, better anaerobic fitness gives me more strength (like when lifting weights), aerobic fitness more resistance (when running long distances?), flexibility gives me, well, more flexibility (liken when trying to put a/the foot/feet behind the head?) and coordination better eye-brain-muscle reactions, and balance comes in with it, right?

Pretty much. Coordination is a tricky field though, eye-brain-reflexes are just that, reflexes. Reflexes are a bit different; coordination improves with things like shooting a bow, playing tennis, or running over really rocky terrain (rocky enough that you need to watch where you put your feet as you run)
