  • I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you humans are not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.

Is the environment inside a woman more hostile to sperm during her period?
Q. I've heard that because of all the bleeding and such, the environment inside the uterus is more hostile to sperm during a woman's period; therefore they do not survive for as long, on average. Is this true?

What is better for the environment when drying your hands? Paper or regular towel?
Q. Although paper towels cannot be and are not washed like regular towels, they cannot be reused by the end user, and end up being recycled or worse, put in landfill. Which has less impact on the environment? Take into consideration the water, detergent, and electricity used to wash regular towels. Is a hot air hand dryer better for the environment than any sort of towel?

A. Neither, a real man either shakes his hands the wipes them on the person next to him or wipes them on his pants or shirt! We don't need no stinkin' towels! And for an added bonus, always leave the lid UP!

How do you raise your environment grade in Animal Crossing?
Q. In Animal Crossing[the city one] I have tried raising my environment grade by planting trees, and planted well over 100, but it has not changed at all. Does anyone know how to improve it?
Asked by AnnaH - Tue May 25 14:16:56 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Plant way more, keep planting until you are told that you have too many trees. Then cut one down and you will have just the right amount. Almost every acre has to have a decent amount of trees, so don't overdo it in any one acre. And once that's done adding flowers helps. About three flowers per acre is good enough :)
