It depends on what you think. I haven't had prom yet, but I don't plan on going. Why is that? Let me list the reasons that me and an older friend of mine will never go to prom:
- The cost; You will spend up to $500-$1000 on prom. The dresses are at the very least $250, the tickets are $50-$80, tux rentals are $150, and if you rent a limo, that's another $400! Don't forget shoes and dinner, which could end up being another $100.
- You will NEVER wear your prom dress again; and unless you're willing to risk getting dirt on those perfect shoes you found, they won't be broken in on the dance floor, and we all know that will be a pain.
- Acne; pimples and zits come out when we're stressed, right? So think of the breakout when prom's coming up.
- Prom will never be that magical night you dream of. It's just a dance where everything is more expensive.
Now if you are going to prom, here are some tips from other websites:
- Find your dress early; When prom is a few weeks away is when the dresses will get too expensive, and this way if you need adjustments you can get them done now.
- Book appointments at least 4 weeks ahead, and find a sweet hairdo before that.
- Break in your shoes (I know I said this is a risk, but if you wear them at home often then they are broken in and there is less risk.)
- Get dinner reservations: They run out fast, people.
- Bring a kit for emergencies; cell phone/quarters, makeup, money, and camera

When was the bow and arrow invented?
A simple bow is a slender, straight-grained wooden shaft tapered from the center to each tip and bent into an arc by a cord shorter than the wood. An inspired Stone-Age man invented it and became the most efficient hunter on Earth. Flint arrows date back 25,000 to 50,000 years ago but no doubt men made arrows without stone points for untold ages before that.
"Certainly by the upper Palaeolithic [Age] (c. 30,000 to 35,000) we have smaller, pointed tools with impact damage consistent with use as arrow points-- though not all small, pointed tools are arrow points as is often assumed," says archeologist Roger Grace of the University of Oslo, Norway.
The earliest archeological evidence comes from Western Europe sites dated about 40,000 years ago. Later, in 30,000 B.C., artists left cave paintings of the bow and arrow.
"Material evidence for bows and arrows, i.e. remains of bows, are not found until the Mesolithic [Age] (c.10,000) but that is a matter of preservation," continues Grace.
(Answered by April Holladay, science correspondent, June 20, 2001)
The earliest history has recorded bows and arrows was around 8000 BC in Germany. Arrows were made of pine with a flint point. Less is known about bows although it is believed pointed shafts were used.
What is the difference between probability and statistics?
Sl.no Probability Statistics 01 Probability deals with predicting the likelihood of future events statisticsinvolves the analysis of the frequency of past events 02 Probability is primarily a theoretical branch of mathematics, which studies the consequences of mathematical definitions Statistics is primarily an applied branch of mathematics, which tries to make sense of observations in the real world. 03 probability theory enables us to find the consequences of a given ideal world Statistical theory enables us to measure the extent to which our world is ideal.
sad to say it is none of those it would most proberally go under other

Can you carry a blunt point while archery hunting?
Absolutely! Many bowhunters carry an arrow with a blunt (or other small game point) when they are hunting. They use if for small game and for stump shooting. I have never heard of a law against carrying an arrow with a blunt head, but if you are shooting big game then you are legally required to use a broadhead (atleast in Ontario).
If you are hunting small game then your arrows will most likely be tipped with nothing but blunts or other small game heads.

How do you figure out the the pull back power on your compound bow?
Your best bet is to go to a shop and have it scaled. You can also find specific draw scales on-line that measure draw weight and full-draw holding weight. I used to use a hanging scale to check weight by hanging scale and hooking the string loop into the hook and puching the bow down to the floor. This isn't safe though. If you shoot enough you will be able to get a ballpark figure of draw weight.
If you can't hold your bow still at full draw for more than 8-10 seconds, youre drawing too much weight. You can use a lighter arrow and decrease poundage without sacrificing speed (you will lose kenitic energy)
