Why is the Bermuda a triangle and not circle?
The term "Bermuda Triangle" was popularized in the 1960s to describe the area in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where several aircraft and ships have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The shape of a triangle was chosen to represent the geographic boundaries of this area. There is no particular reason why it is not called a circle, it was just a choice made by those who coined the term.
Why do people believe in urban legends?
It is a myth, hoax or misinformation. Urban means "city", and a legend is "a story coming down from the past." It's a story that goes from mouth to ear and becomes popular but cannot be verified, most people start to believe it's true because everyone knows the story. Such stories often become distorted or exaggerated with time. Nowadays, many urban legends circulate by email as well as by word of mouth.
One example of an Urban Legend is some kid ate the candy called Pop Rox and drank pop, and his throat exploded and he died. Even though this particular one is fake, many others haven't been verified yet.
If you want to learn more about it then go to sites like Snopes and Wikipedia.
==========
Urban legends are a type of modern folklore (although some of the stories have origins in much older stories). The stories are 99.999% false (OK - I made up that statistic, but the point being you shouldn't believe them). On rare occasions the stories are based on true events but even then they tend to be embellished to make them more impressive or transmogrified to put them in an environment more familiar to the teller or listener. Often they will be focused on weird or supernatural events. They tend to be enmeshed in local culture but with the homogenizing forces of fast modern communication, the lines are becoming more blurred with more shared world culture. Even when cultures do not overlap that much the same basic story often shows up in multiple areas with tweaks to make it fit the local culture better. While Urban Legends can be used for entertainment purposes, they are usually used as cautionary tales or to make the teller sound more "in-the-know" well as for semi-serious explanations for random events such as disappearances and strange objects.
What is the Bermuda triangle's biggest mystery?
According to reporters, too many airmen and ships have gone missing in the area to be mere *accidents or operator errors, weather causes". etc. and that something deeper is involved.
It seems that the real mystery is why people fall for this. Given the weather and traffic, the number of vanishings is about what you'd expect. A lot of them never actually happened, many happened in horrible storms reporters won't tell you about, some are known not to have happened in the Triangle... and others are not known to have happened in the Triangle. If a ship fails to turn up on the other side of the planet Earth, someone will claim it vanished in the Triangle. If you really want to know about what is going on, read Larry Kusche's book "The Bermuda Triangle Mystery-Solved".
How do you make an egg survive 3 foot fall in toy car?
To make an egg survive a 3-foot fall in a toy car, you can cushion it with materials like cotton balls, bubble wrap, or foam padding. Place the egg securely in the center of the toy car surrounded by the cushioning material to absorb the impact of the fall. Additionally, ensure that the toy car has a smooth landing surface to prevent the egg from breaking upon impact.
What did the US Supreme Court decide about President Obama's birth certificate and citizenship?
The US Supreme Court dismissed the case without comment in December 2008, and denied certiorari to other cases in 2009 and 2010. The Court appears to consider these cases frivolousand not worth their time and attention.
Ever since then-senator Obama began his run for the White House, a group of people, later known as "Birthers," expressed doubt that Mr. Obama was really an American. They insisted he was born in Kenya and somehow spirited into the United States. They offered no credible proof other than a multitude of conspiracy theories, but about 19% of the population, including more than 30% of Republicans, continued to believe Barack Obama was not eligible to be president. Even when Mr. Obama released his birth certificate, verified by the then-Republican governor of Hawaii, the conspiracy theories did not stop.
In December 2008, the US Supreme Court dismissed without comment a New Jersey lawsuit challenging the validity of Obama's birth certificate and his citizenship status. In January 2009 the US Supreme Court denied a petition for writ of certiorari that included such terms as "top secret briefing" and "[t]his case involves national security, extraordinary public significance and requires action urgently...", "placing all American citizens and the United States of America in grave danger..." and "it clearly states Obama's name as "Barry Soetoro," and lists his citizenship as Indonesian..." in the report of a very complex and unsubstantiated rationalization as to why Obama should be disqualified from the Presidency.
Regarding such false assertions, it should be noted that Mr. Obama was never legally adopted by his step-father, Lolo Soetoro. He was born as Barack Obama, and lived under that name all his life. Second, his mother was an American citizen (born in Kansas) and there is no evidence she gave birth to Barack anywhere but in Hawaii. Further:
Mr. and Mrs. Barack H. Obama, 6085 Kalanianaole Hwy., son, Aug. 4
In Hollister v. Barry Soetoro (the conspiracy theorists' name for Obama), a civil action brought in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in March 2009, Judges James Robertson (past President of the District of Columbia Bar) opened his memorandum with the following words that criticize the lack of factual accuracy in the legal challenges against Obama's citizenship:
"This case, if it were allowed to proceed, would deserve mention in one of those books that seek to prove that the law is foolish or that America has too many lawyers with not enough to do. Even in its relatively short life the case has excited the blogosphere and the conspiracy theorists. The right thing to do is to bring it to an early end."
A number of groups over the years have been referred to as the Illuminati. Try googling with the correct spelling, and you'll find lots of information.
Is it possible to survive a fifteen foot fall?
Sure! it all depends on the angle of attack, or rather repose- I wouldn"t recommend it as a sportive practice. The acrobat Lillian Leitzel died of Injuries received in a 20 Foot fall she was conscious when found by aids (they did not have paramedics then) and died the following day of injuries received. there are cases of people surviving falls of many hundreds of feet-but the impact was cushioned by landing in snowbanks, 9on top of disused tents, and so on probably landed on their back or feet -obviously a head or neck-on angle of attack would be fatal. It is conceivable if they had the current rescue-paramedic level of technology in l93l as we have now- and Paramedics were inthe arena, Lillilan Leitzel may have been saved! The Broken Link of the carnival circuit! ( a broken link chain precipitated the accident)

Is the E mail about Steve Kroft's article on George Soros factual?
No, and as Snopes.com and other fact-checkers have pointed out, Steve Kroft did not write it. As often happens on the internet, some person with an agenda writes a bigoted screed (in this case, falsely accusing financier and philanthropist George Soros of collaborating with the Nazis and sending Jews to their deaths) and then attaches a famous journalist's name to it.
But (a) Kroft never had anything to do with it, and (b) the accusations in it were written by a right-wing conservative associated with Glenn Beck, who seems to believe Mr. Soros is guilty of horrendous crimes. For some reason, back in 2010, Glenn Beck decided that Mr. Soros was the epitome of evil, and devoted a number of programs to his unproven theories, many of which seem rooted in dislike for Mr. Soros's left-leaning politics. While disagreeing with someone's political views is perfectly understandable, accusing someone of being a Nazi collaborator or making other equally false assertions is shameful. There is NO credible evidence that George Soros did any of the things of which he is accused in this "article."

If the moon landings were a hoax who were the beings filmed walking on the moon?
They weren't a hoax. The footage could not be duplicated *today*, let alone back then. Kubrick's "2001" shows how lame even state-of-the-art lunar effects looked back then. The only way Kubrick had of hiding wires was to photograph from beneath the person, so their own bodies blocked the wire from view. Want to try that on a Rover drive? <G>. The best wire effects were done by Gerry Anderson's people back then. No way they could have done the Moonwalks, just take a look at his stuff. The thing with Kubrick is that since someone made a mockumentary about him doing the Apollo effects, some people weren't bright enough to know the mockumentary was a joke. See below some links I am leaving that help make things a lot clearer.
Certain ASPECTS of the moon flights, for various reasons incuding atmospheric density, the vacuum of space, excessive solar glare, could bot be photographed on Live TV and the broadcasters artfully substituted animated sketches of re-entry, stages separating, and so on, some also used disassemblable scale models of the Saturn V rocket, for example Cronkite. Then some asked- if part of this was faked ,could not the whole thing have been Hoked up? By the way about a year ago he Live TV tapes of the Moon Landings mysteriously disapperared from a vault in Washington! Very Interesting. There are a number of logical inconsistencies- and thick books have been written on this subject. certain aspects of the mission could not be photographed, and simulation was used-and it was generally flashed on the screen(Simulation) or (Animation) the announcer would explain that the capsule was beyond the view angle of telephoto cameras, or could not transmit due to the hot gases of re-entry disabling electromagnetic systems- which is true. But there is no evidence entire missions were Hoked up.

Is TB Joshua a member of the church of Satan?
No. He is a Christian evangelical preacher from Nigeria, who claims he can heal people of their diseases by praying over them. While some people think he is trying to cheat people out of their money, others think he is very inspiring. But whether you agree with him or not, there is no evidence he worships Satan.

What is the moon made of and how was it formed?
The moon is made of dusk, dirt and rocks and, it was formed 4.5 billion years ago, about 30-50 million years after the origin of the Solar System, out of debris thrown into orbit by a massive collision between a smaller proto-Earth and another planetoid, about the size of Mars.

Meredith Belbin's book "Management Teams" came out in 1981. It is based on certain patterns of behaviour that people exhibit within teams. When people become aware of their own strengths and abilities it helps other people when they are picking for teams. Belbin says that if there are these 9 people in a team then that team shall be successful. These are the roles; Action Roles:
· Implementer-- Strength lies in translating the team's decisions and ideas into manageable and practical tasks or actions.
· Shaper-- Goal directed. The shaper is a dynamic individual who boldly challenges others during discussions, can handle work pressures and has the courage to overcome obstacles.
· Completer/Finisher- The completer/finisher's strength lies in being a perfectionist, attention to detail and the ability to meet deadlines.
People Skills Roles:
· Co-ordinator- The co-ordinator's strength lies in enabling and facilitating interaction and decision making.
· Team worker- The team worker's strength lies in being a good listener, being collaborative, co-operative, easy going and tactful.
· Resource Investigator- The resource investigator's strength lies in being a person who can develop contacts, communicate well, explore new ideas and opportunities, and bring enthusiasm and drive to the team effort.
Cerebral Roles:
· Planter- The planter's strength lies in problem solving and out-of-the-box thinking.
· Monitor- The monitor/evaluator's strength lies in good judgment and good strategic thinking ability.
· Specialist- The specialist's strength lies in being a dedicated and focused individual who likes to learn and constantly build his or her knowledge. The specialist likes to dig deep and is therefore a good resource who can contribute information and knowledge in a team situation.

Was Lee Harvey Oswald the only gunman to shoot JFK?
While I know that I'm just asking for it from the conspiracy theorists out there, and while I admit that the government GROSSLY mishandled the whole affair and there may very well have been a variety of cover-ups in regards to how the whole thing went down, there is sufficient physical evidence (through modern ballistics both in simulators and real-life duplications sans murder) that we can 100% say that Oswald was the only shooter. Why he did it and who (if anyone) put him up to it can still be debated. At this time the most likely explanation is that Oswald, who had an obsession about being famous and historical, killed Kennedy just to get noticed. It worked, possibly the first thing he had ever done right.
