How did the golfing terms Birdie, Albatross and Eagle get their names?
Apparently there's a lot of history to that, far too much to write here so I'll just give this link: http://www.scottishgolfhistory.net/bogey_par.htm

Ok you really want to know? does being circumsized (sp) or not affect sexual pleasure?
According to the people in the Penn & Teller episode of Bullsh!t Yes it does, and there are a growing number of people who wished they had not been circumcised. Its a very American thing.

Nothing really.

 

 

 

But..there is one semi-[developmentally delayed]ed question..

 

 

 

If the universe is ever-expanding (as some claim), then isn't it possible that Intelligent life outside of Earth is possible, or even being created as we speak?

2. highest someone can jump (vertical) from standing still?

 

 

 

I started wondering, so I searched for it.

 

 

 

Its not totally a 'standing still' jump, but ive found this:

 

 

 

Did you see Steve Francis in the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest? Then he finished as the runner-up to Vince Carter with some sick dunks. Actually, he had a 44-inch vertical at that time! That̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s right, 44 inches(Thats 3,67 feet, or 111 centimeters)! Besides Vince Carter (45-inch vertical) Stevie Franchise had the highest vertical in the league at that time! And in case you didn̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t know - the guy is only 6̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ 3̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾ÃÂ¢ÃÆÃ¢Ã¢ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢!

Yes. It's assumed that many life-bearing planets exist in the universe. We are most likely not unique.

 

 

 

Here are some links with more info...
