Apocalypse!

Having a big brother can actually cut your chances of starting a family. It’s kind of dumb, but it’s true. A big brother can affect the fertility of the younger sibling, like me. This may be because when the first boy is born, it can take a lot of work in the womb to carry him around, and the health of the next child may not be as good. They also say that those with an older sister tend to be taller than those who have a big brother. That doesn’t necessarily mean you will be short, it just means that you won’t be as tall as if you had an older sister. 

And Russia will be the country to benefit the most from global warming. Its economy that is. That is so because once the glaciers melt, Russia will have access to all the oil deposits in Siberia. It just hurts me to think of all the animals that will lose their lives there. The bad news for Russia is that new equipment will be needed for getting the oil and the protected Arctic zones will be destroyed. Reports also show that by 2025 (if 2012 never happens) China will be the second largest leader in economy and having a greater military power. They will also be the largest contributor to global warming and pollution. 

More scientific research shows that by 2030, Earth will be underwater. Well, not really, but the since fossil fuels aren’t going to run dry in 20 years, we will be burning it and adding carbon dioxide to Earth’s atmosphere and making a dramatic change in temperature (about 4ºC) will cause the oceans to rise. And then it will spill over our dams and into dry land, submerging them in water. To maintain a daily lifestyle, we must go to a second Earth or grow gills. Humanity will also go into a war for survival needs. The one’s who lose will die out. We are the true species to kill our own kind.

Marijuana

Marijuana is a drug that is to be used to relieve pain. It makes many Americans feel better. But there’s always a sector of the population who overdose, which can lead to trouble. And now were talking about if marijuana should be legalized or illegal. I think it should legalized and sold in pharmacies and convenience stores to people over a certain age (preferably over 21) mainly because the other group of people who suffer greatly from diseases that can kill a lot should use them freely. Many are arrested for marijuana violations. And drinking alcohol isn’t as bad? The whole world has realized that ingesting alcohol kills more people in the U.S. than marijuana. 

And how about some boring science that won’t seem so boring when you see what the topic is. THE BIG BANG! That’s right, the largest explosion ever since time began and is holding its place. Yes it is an explosion, but people percept this inaccurately. 1. The Big Bang is the universe that extends into 2. something that will remain unknown for many lifetimes. 3. There was time before the Big Bang. Those are all wrong. The real explanation that confuses many people is that the Big Bang isn’t an explosion that spills out hydrogen and helium and other matter, it really the explosion that starts everything. The Big Bang is space and time; that’s what comes out. The Big Bang is the existence that began existence. It exploded place and instance and created when and where. What came before the Big Bang? Well who cares? There is no ‘before the Big Bang’. It makes sense now. There was nothing. In fact there was no nothing. The universe is a rubber sheet that stretches and expands further. If there is a boundary, it would be the edge of everything and nothing. Existence and non-existence. The edge of sanity and nothing. What’s on the other side? Don’t even think about it; you can’t think about it. And the items in the something that was created in the land of general opposites are held together. There is a weak and a strong. If there is only strong, nothing forms. Because there has to be a boundary. These great forces that keeps the whole universe sensible won’t hold for long.

And in terms of common sense, insanity, and nothing nothing, a new word has been added to the dictionary. Meh, it just means boredom and indifference. Pretty soon, typing the word ‘meh’ won’t result in a red line under it.

Diabetes Still Increasing

You know that sometimes young children can find a lot of things. Others just take it because it’s right in front of them. This 3rd grader brought a gun to school and showed it off in the closet. He was caught with gun and had to hand it over. The gun was loaded, but was not yet ready to fire. Where the hell did he get that gun? It’s a little strange that a man or woman would leave their gun for an 8-year old to easily take. The boy has been charged for bringing a gun to school, but they still don’t know who it belongs to. 

And the rate of diabetic Americans have doubled in the last decade in the South! And that is tied in with heart disease. I can’t believe that the stereotype is going around saying that Americans are fat people who watch TV all day and all the medical researches putting up the news on the media still haven’t stopped the 23 million+ Americans realized that they are unhealthy. 

And I’m only talking about this because it has been floating around for almost two weeks! So research have found that women’s hands have a greater variety of bacteria than men. The best theory is that men have more acidic skin than women’s, so they can house more types of bacteria. And the majority of bacteria in women’s hands lie under the skin, which is not accessible to water when washing hands. 

And more study show that we have evolved into smart creatures that are killing ourselves because of our big-hipped ancestors. Otherwise known as the Homo erectus. Their hips have found to be wider than previously viewed. The only reason is because they found the pelvis of one in Ethiopia. And a wider hip means a bigger head for babies. Which means a larger brain capacity. Although their brains were very superior, they still had a hard time developing language skills. Big ouch!
