O is mine, not sure if I'm positively or negatively charged tho

Where does the universe stop and what is it surrounded by and doesn't it being surround by something mean that it hasn't really stopped?

Oh and what surrounds whatever it is that surrounds it?

The universe is the universe. Not even nothingness surrounds it =p

O-

So I can only get O- blood...:(

I've known that since I was small though. Everyone should probably know their own blood type tbh.

Easy there 'Universal Giver' - even if the Universe infinitely expands, it still has to be somewhere, someplace. Okay, you could say that that in and of it's self is part of the Universe, but eventually all Universes have to expand within a space and that space has to have a surrounding, there can't simply be nothing, or even no nothing, as there is always something surrounding matter, even space matter.

Other question you don't know the answer to:
Your other half's phone number (without looking at your phone)?

AB's the Sluts will take it from anybody.
O's are like horny 18 year olds- will give it to anybody.

Identical twin or not? If it's identcal you should do, regular twin is just as likely as any other sibling.

Id like to be able to donate blood but I pass out at the sight of a needle so dont know if I could cope with a pint of blood being drawn, im in the process of donating eggs atm which will probably turn out to be worse but worth doing as theres so many couples needing eggs and very few donors

I can donate blood to anyone but only receive blood from those with the same type as myself. Bit of a raw deal if you ask me.

Same here, and to make it worse if either of us ever need a heart transplant we need one from an O- donor..........snowball meet hell, hell this is snowball.

I have donated numerous times and i think i have seen a needle once, its not a needle in the normal sense like a syringe it is small and you do not even see it while you donate. You lay down and the arm you donate from is actually slightly lower than you are so you do not see it.

Maybe even go when a donation is on and watch the process, my friend was like you and i took her to one of my donations, she gave her third donation in September

I'm O+, as for questions I dont know the answer to....

Do all people see colour the same way? For example, grass is green and the sky is Blue, but you cant actually describe green or blue, there just the names youre taught growing up. What you see is your brains represention of reflecting light, so is it possible that what I see as Red, somebody else would see as what (to me) blue looks like?

Sticking with colour, how do they add colour to something? For example paint, or clothes. These materials are exactly the same except for their colour. But the colour we see is actually just how quickly the light reflects off of a surface, materials dont actually 'have' a colour. So how can they change the colour without changing the material?

How do deaf people tell the difference between yawning and screaming?

If you scale up a hydrogen atom (1 proton, 1 electron) so that the proton was roughly the size of a dinner plate, the electron that orbits that proton would be roughly 8 miles away! How the fcuk does the gravity of a dinner plate hold a speeding object 8 miles away!!!

O+ the most common, I can only recieve from other O groups.
Anyway, I can't donate blood due to all the medications and whatnot.

EGAR · 08-11-2011 07:52PM

I am B+ and have donated blood in Germany and the States but am not allowed to donate here because I have got Psoriasis on my elbows

It's more to do with which wavelengths of light are absorbed / scattered by the object, so something that's red absorbs or scatters all wavelengths (colours) of light and only reflects the red.

It's not gravity, it's the electromagnetic force.

Gravity doesn't apply in an atom, instead the electron is held by electromagnetism, which is far stronger than the force of gravity.

B+ for me.

Why are horrible and terrible synonyms, but horrific and terrific antonyms?

mlumley · 08-11-2011 08:07PM

Wold love to give blood in Ireland, but cant as im English, cjd and all that. Mind you, been here 18 years, thought cjd might have shown by now.

But the main question is, is my GF shagging my best mate:eek:? If so, why hasnt he told me how he rates her in bed

I think it comes from the late 18th century Romantic/Gothic movements, when words like "horror" and especially "awe" and "terror" were ambiguous and could have positive or negative connotations.

To be awestruck or terrified could be paralysing, but it was also considered to raise the mind to a new heightened stage of awareness.

Over time "horror" and "terror" came to be used exclusively in a negative sense, with "awe" usually being positive.

The hangover of that is we now have words that come from the same source but have opposite meanings, like the ones you mentioned above, or "awesome" and "awful" which now are antonyms, but could have been used interchangeably in the Romantic era.

"Terrible" and "terrific" is another good example.

I'm not entirely sure what my blood type is, but because I lived in England during the height of the BSE crisis, I can't give blood in this country.

Azureus · 08-11-2011 08:37PM

Dont know what blood type I am and can't donate because Im always anaemic..
Must try again so that I can find out, this thread has made me curious!
