Why do people write their names over and over again everywhere?

Some people feel that this is a symbol of who they are and what they believe in. They think that writing their name all over will make other people know who they are. All it does is make other people see their name, of course, and not understand anything about them. This is why you are wondering, after all, because you don't understand. There is an old saying: "Fools' names and fools' faces are always seen in public places." This refers to people who write their names and draw all over things that belong to other people -- called graffiti. It's one thing to decorate your own belongings; painting all over someone else's belongings isn't so nice, and most people don't like it. Mature people usually try to get attention by their actions, and don't write their name all over the place.

How many nanoseconds are there in one year?

Work it out by basic dimensional analysis!

One (average) year = 365.24 days

One day = 24 hours

One hour = 60 minutes

One minute = 60 seconds

so there are 365.24 * 24 * 60 * 60 seconds in a year.

One nanosecond is 10**9 seconds so multiply the above answer by 10**9 (or just shift the decimal point 9 places, it's loads easier)

BTW this same approach can be used to convert any comparable sets of units, e.g. miles per hour into metres per second, or even furlongs per fortnight if you really want to try.

How do you sneak onto a ferry?

I'm tempted to trash this in the "illegal acts" category, but there is at least the possibility that under some circumstances it might not actually be illegal (doing so to avoid paying the fare is, though).

You sneak onto a ferry the same way you sneak anywhere... sneakily. It's hard to answer more specifically without knowing what ferry and what the circumstances are.

well first you have to look like a ninja. then next make sure you jump on the end of the dock right when they are about to leave so you go unnoticed. next if there are any guards watching... shoot them. oh yes i forgot to mention that you have to bring two guns with you. the first one must be a silencer so no one hears the guards get shot. the second is of your choice ;)

How do you give myself a hanging wedgie?

Place your waistband on your highest dresser knob. Bend your knees to give yourself a regular wedgie. Then grab the back and pull until your underwear goes over your head, then take some duct tape to secure the underwear, then take photos or have someone take them for you.

The word "damask" is pronounced as "DAM-uhsk" with the stress on the first syllable. The "a" in the first syllable is pronounced as a short vowel sound, like the "a" in "cat." The "sk" at the end is pronounced as a single consonant sound, not as separate "s" and "k" sounds.

What do the red white and yellow cords do on a tv?

Im not sure which one is which but the white and yellow is sound and picture for when you hook up a DVD or camera (etc) to it and the red is just backup sound.

Some TVs don't have the red plug to fit the cord into it so the white and yellow work fine without it.

Can styrofoam keep a hot drink warm longer?

Styrofoam is a good insulator due to its low thermal conductivity, which can help retain the heat of a hot drink for a longer period compared to materials with higher thermal conductivity. The trapped air pockets within the styrofoam structure create a barrier that slows down heat transfer. However, the effectiveness of styrofoam in keeping a hot drink warm longer also depends on factors such as the initial temperature of the drink, ambient temperature, and the quality of the styrofoam material.

I live in New York and we don't have prom for 6 graders. There's a 5th grade prom for when you graduate from elementary school. An 8th grade prom for when you graduate middle school and a 12th grade prom for when you graduate high school. Some schools have junior proms but here in new york we don't. at least not in public school. It all depends on the school you go to.

In a room filled with 370 people will there be at least two people who celebrate their birthdays on the same day?

(Please note that this is interpreted to be "ANY two people with ANY birthdate the same".) Yes, even if they "celebrate" their common birthday on some other day. In fact you only need 367. A random selection of people will have several pairs who share the same birthday, and several dates (especially the magic "February 29") are almost certain to be omitted. Statistical probability requires a very large sample, so that if 365,000 people were polled, you would have close to 1000 of each separate date, and as many as 250 with February 29th. (a 1-in-1461 average).

Why are pubs called 'the blue ball'?

I have three possible answers:

1. The blue ball signifies land owned by the Courtenay family. Many of the pubs in England with this name are in areas with connections to this family.

2. The blue ball was used by coaching inns to indicate to an approaching coach that facilities such as fresh horses and accommodation were available.

3. The blue ball was the float from a fishing net raised by the pub to indicate that the local fishing fleet had returned.
