So most people's body temperatures read higher when they're starting to get sick, but mine consistently always reads lower (by about 2-3 degrees under average) when I'm starting to feel ill. Do colds really do that to some people? Or is there some other medical condition that could explain this? It happens often enough that it's not something dangerous or life-threatening, but still...kinda odd. As far as I know, colds and other illnesses don't ever lower your internal body temperature. However, if you're coming down with something, then chances are your body is producing a lot more mucus than normal, and I think it's plausible that you produce more earwax than normal too. So if you use an ear thermometer, that might explain some of it. If you get those results using a different kind of thermometer, though, then I'm not really sure. |

If I don't have a fever, I'll be a couple degrees below the normal temperature you're supposed to be. Maybe it's just the thermometers. XD |

It happens often enough that it's not something dangerous or life-threatening, but still...kinda odd. Realize that 98.6 is the average body temperature. So if you're not moving around, your temperature is going to be lower, and if you're moving around a lot, it will be higher.. If you're not feeling well, and you're not doing as much because of it, your temperature will be lower than when you're moving around and being active. People have different averages as well. My normal temperature is 97.8, and it goes up to 94.5 if I've been busy, and can drop as low as 96.8 if I've been sitting around being lazy all day. |

So, um... who holds the copyrights to a television show, anyway? XD; Like... the writers, the producers, the channel the show airs on, or what? I've found myself wondering this every time I tried to give copyright credit to a TV show character, and I always had to take a stab in the dark 'cause I really had no idea. On IMDB.com you can look up a particular show, and scroll down to where it says "box office/business" on the left-hand sidebar and click that. It's not available for every show, but for many of them, the copyright holder information is there. Otherwise, you can check the show's official website, which will probably have the copyright information down at the bottom of the page. It looks to me like it's generally the company producing the show, though I don't know if that holds true for everything. Thanks, but hmmm, can't seem to find any mention on either for the show I'm thinking of. Alas. As for a different question, are you supposed to turn off cellphones in a courtroom? >_> And if so, do courthouses have some kind of callable reception desk? *probably doesn't even need to explain why she's asking that* |

As for if there is a callable reception desk, it depends on the courthouse -- you'll have to ask. |

XD Hurr hurr that one guy in PW didn't turn off his phone but he was supposed to As for depending on the courthouse, hrmmm, it's a fictional courthouse, but it's in an existing location... *scratches chin* Wonder if that kind of info's available on the internet. How likely would it be to assume there is? >_> |

What math units do you DEFINITELY need to know to become a successful doctor? (e.g. Geometry, algebra, etc.)

Ah, overpronation. I have that when running. Would make sense. Unfortunately I can't really change my shoes/inserts. Thanks, though, Killix.

(e.g. Geometry, algebra, etc.) Late reply, but - My roommate is pre-nursing (her current major is biochem) in university right now and she has to take calculus. And you're expected to take geometry, algebra, pre-calculus before you take calc. But that's more because of her major than because she's pre-nursing. According to a couple pages I found online, some higher math is expected for anyone pre-med, calculus and/or statistics being preferred. |

So, I was booking plane tickets and it says that for one of my flights I don't have a seat, but I was able to book it anyway.
What does it mean that I don't have a seat assignment? Because I've always been able to pick my own seat...

Seat assignments are when the seats are assigned ahead of time. |

I see it all over the internet and can't seem to figure out where it comes from. xD Depends on what you're seeing it on, but I do know that at least one use is a reference to CSI: Miami. The main character, Horatio, will survey the dead body, put on his sunglasses in dramatic fashion, and then say a very, very corny line (like if it were a dead watchmaker he'd be like "looks like his time... *puts on glasses* ... has run out."). It is at that point that the theme song starts, which is a portion of "We Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who, and it starts with the huge scream of YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH. So, if you see someone say something really corny and then the YEEEAAAAAAAHHHH, that's what it's from. XD But it's also the name of a song by The Crowns. :3 |
