what came first the hen or the egg or the zygote?

The zygote. Afterall a zygote is merely an egg cell that has been fertilized by a sperm and is common to all mammals. Assuming that there was at least one mammal around before chickens came along, then the zygote came first. If that's not the case then I'm going to say that the chicken came first. Why? Because Stone Cold said so.

What is this Ranking Mode present in the Japanese beatmania releases?

Ranking mode is the equivalent of the "Player's Best" nonstops in DDR Extreme. Platinum course plays the 1st through 4th most popular song, Gold course plays the 5th through 8th, Silver the 9th-12th, and finally Bronze the 13th-16th. It's not very popular and I think it's been discontinued, but I could be wrong.

Why do Hot Dogs come in packages of 10, but Hot Dog Buns come in packages of 8?

Good question! Perhaps it's a packaging issue, buns are bulky and somewhat fragile. Making the package wider perhaps make it too prone to damaging and more difficult to store or shelve. Making the packaging taller would just be silly since adding two more buns on top would make the package asymmetrical and goofy-looking.

If push comes to shove you could just buy four packages of hot dogs and five packages of buns. mmmmmm

I think you have your answer to why right there. It's a conspriacy between meat vendors and the bread industry to raise thier profit margins, by trapping consumers in a cycle of buying shit they don't really want in an effort to not waste food.

oh yah, how come I can read without any degree of difficulty yet I can't spell worth a crap?

If you do most of your reading on the world wide netweb, like me, then more often than not you'll run into many common word butcherings that, after having read them so many times, you'll come to think that that's how to word is supposed to be spelled. The words separate and definite are the most common I've seen.

Reading itself takes a lot less effort in any language than spelling. If you know how letters sound together and can break down syllables then reading becomes simple. For example, I can read a book written in Spanish out loud with no issues because I've learned how the letters sound and I can break down syllables; understanding what I'm reading however is another story.

I used to actually be a pretty good speller when I was younger, more specifically, before the internet came into my home; it seriously has messed with my ability to spell.

How to fix this? Read literature. You'll find a lot more eloquent and complex words in books which will not only improve your vocabulary, they'll also help you catch onto the little nuances of the English language ergo improve your ability to spell and sound long winded.

Well you see the thing is, is that I actually do read books, but my online vocabulary is a bit more limited than my speaking vocabulary simply because, most of the time my spelling of it is unrecognizable. My written grammar however is just horrible yet I can tell when something looks out of place when I read what someone else wrote.

I think it's kind of funny though cause I can whiz though those reading comprehension tests and score95 or higher, yet I always struggle through the grammer portions and get low Bs. And yet somehow I've always managed to get As on all the essays I ever had to write even though the paper looked like it had chicken pox from all the red marks on it for grammer mistakes.

I see, I guess the best way to improve your grammar and spelling is to learn from mistakes. With practice and the recognition of errors you can apply your speaking vocabulary to your written vocabulary.

Because knowledge is power!

That got me thinking of something...

Captain Planet!
He's the hero!
Gonna take pollution down, to, zero!

Not completely sure why, though...did they ever say that in the show?

"Knowledge is Power" was said in the show "Reading Rainbow", IIRC.

Still stuff like that reminds me of G.I.Joe. "Knowing is half the battle. GO JOE!!!!"

Where exactly the phrase is from I have no idea. I first saw the phrase on one of those motivational posters in my 2nd grade science class. The poster had an electrical cord connected to a light bulb with the cord spelling out "Knowledge is power" and the bulb shining vigorously.

Oh Haverhill... Oh Mrs. Macafee... ::weep::
