  1. ok i meant that non native species are aliens to that environment
  2. Milk was actually used in the Movie Singin' in the Rain to film the Rain because water would not show up on camera
  3. Subjective fact: it sucks to live in Iowa because it's hot during the day, cold at night. Also when it's hit it usually has no cloud cover so it's usually humid and hot, and when it's cold it's always cloudy so it's not only clammy but freezing. Also people think we only grow corn, we are idiots, and have no cities. Actually Iowa has one of the best high schools in the nation. Also we made the first computer, we provide much of the corn for the US, nobody actually targets us for political parties so we have barely any political commercials, and we don't all wear overalls. But unfortunately it seems that very one ere thinks that a mouse is a point an click device for the screen :(
    No we are not dumb, we just have common sense to not say "yolo", so we are perceived as dumb and not hip. Also it's practically th hipster Capitol.
  4. Hey thats really offensive! My cousin is in Iowa!
  5. well at least the "sucks" sentence :p
  6. Its wores for us texans. People think we are cowboys and say "y'all" and our name are "Betty Sue" or "John Jimmy" and all we think about is cows. And that we go to school on horses and all we talk about is herding longhorns.
    I live in Austin, Texas and I can veto all that. We are normal people that talk about sports and go to school on buses or in cars. Our names are common lile "Will" and "Alex", but I guess we might say "y'all" sometimes... :p

    gravity affecting time FTW!
    theoretically one could also stay in a sort of stasis if they where subjected to a large amount of gravity. gravity can be artificially made by magnetism, therefore electromagnetics can infact slow down time.
    my theory: make i giant, controlled magnetic field. put in a subject, and before they get crushed by the gravity, have the magnet turned off. then they have gone forward in time fractionally!
