Recent studies by scientists have found that fish do not in fact feel pain. According to well respected scientists, including Stephen Hawking (Who says, "I am much like a fish. I can not feel pain.), fish lack the neocortex in the brain to actually feel pain.
They can react to pain, but do not actually feel any discomfort, and simply react to something touching them, much like an ordinary person.
Findings found from Cambridge Biological Science department, 2008.

How can you tell if you need crutches?
If you have to ask, then you don't need them.
Crutches are only needed when it is impossible for one leg to bear any weight at all due to injury. If the leg can bear some weight, but not the full extent of the person's weight, then a cane is usually used, though most people use it improperly. Many use it on the side of the affected leg, when it's supposed to be used on the opposite side of the leg that is injured, e.g., if the left leg is injured or can't bear weight, then the cane is used in the right hand. As the person walks, when the leg comes down the bulk of the weight is shifted by the user to the cane instead.
Why would someone want to commit suicide?
Because they feel so sad, it not being overwhelmed by your problems, It is a mental disease, an imbalance of chemicals in your brain. The answer below is totally wrong. People who have suicidal thoughts and have sought treatment really know the difference. A person with a healthy mental state can handle problems without thoughts of suicide. The answer just below is from someone who is just guessing at this answer. Skip to the next answer below this
- People who have committed suicide or have been thinking about committing suicide probably feel overwhelmed by their problems. They might not be able to handle that kind of pressure and feel that death would be the only way to escape it. Another possible explanation is that the person in question might have experienced some sort of loss and might feel that they have nothing left to live for and simply wish to join them. They also might have some kind of drug problem and not know what they are doing at the time or they might feel that dying is the only way to end that particular addiction. The last reason I can think of is that they might just want attention or a way to get back at someone that hurt them. For example, a teenager is abused in some way by his/her parents and thinks that if they kill themselves then the parent would know that it was their fault.
- Suicide is not about problems, everyone has problems and many people triumph over adversity. Suicide is about PAIN and CONTROL. When you feel that you have no control over your pain, that the pain will never stop or get better, that is when suicide looks like a way to gain control and end the pain. Calling it depression diminishes the real, raw, tearing power of the pain one feels constantly, endlessly with no hope of it ever getting better or going away. It is an insanity that drags you into a black hole and you know that no matter what anyone says or does, you will stay in that black hole forever. Sometimes suicide is the bravest thing that one can think of to do for ones self. At that point, one is not thinking of those who are left behind or how those people will feel. The world of torture has become to insulated for those concerns. It equates to asking a person to take time to consider the consequences of what they are doing when they are already plunging down the cliff at 200 miles an hour.
The idea that depression is due to an imbalance is one of those things social workers and psychologists tell each other in order to feel important. The psychiatric association in the UK as one example has finally dropped this nonsense. I feel that suicide is justified in some cases ie. age, terminal disease, or hopeless depression. Certainly anything is better than being tortured with pills or shock "treatments".
Will a girl like you if you give them a wedgie?
No, girls want to be respected. By giving her a wedgie will just ruin your chances to be friends and etc. with her.
Will a girl like you if they see you give a wedgie?
No. That is a very easy and simple answer that you will get from any mature person, whether a girl or boy. Think about this: Would you like a girl if you saw her get a wedgie by a boy? Put yourself in her shoes before you act on these thoughts.
If you're trying to get a girl to like you, then you should be sweet to her. Show her you care. Get caught staring "accidentally on purpose". Leave not-so-secret admirer notes in her locker. Ask her to dance. She'll get the hint!!!
