NEW ANSWER IN: If I were to hold a cigarette lighter upside down, would it explode?

GexTheLizard: I wouldn't think so, for the same reason that the flame doesn't travel into the rest of the butane (or whatever fluid) inside the lighter and ignite the whole thing. Lighters operate by essentially opening a valve that allows the gas to escape, which is then lit by a small piece of ...

NEW ANSWER IN: Why do so many people join Questional but don't do a crap-thing?

GexTheLizard: Lots of reasons, really. Spam-bots, people who only want to ask one question, or people who think they'll use the account and don't. I hardly notice people until they actually post things personally.

NEW ANSWER IN: Are there any websites that cheaply sell video games?

GexTheLizard: I usually go to GameStop's website and buy used from them. Most games are $10 or less there, and they're supposedly guaranteed to work. I've had 1 or 2 games that didn't, but they traded them in for copies that did without a problem.

NEW ANSWER IN: What is wrong with Facebook?

GexTheLizard: Oh don't forget that the inbox only works about 50% of the time, chat randomly cuts in and out, and the "live feed" really often isn't live at all. =D

NEW ANSWER IN: What will exactly happen if the poles indeed change?

GexTheLizard: Magentic north is constantly moving very very slowly, and eventually it will no longer be at what we regard as the "North Pole". It pretty much can't move fast enough to just trade places with the South pole by magic, it literally takes thousands and millions of years. It certainly won't happen by...

NEW ANSWER IN: In binary code what value does this represent: 101101011110101010?

GexTheLizard: Did you just put random 0's and 1's in? That doesn't translate into anything, the number of binaries must be divisible by 8.

NEW ANSWER IN: Is it possible to live with just one lung?

GexTheLizard: Oh yeah, there's lots of people who have had a lung surgically removed. Cancer patients, for example, will sometimes have part or an entire lung removed. If you mean just one lung popped however, no you can't live with 1 lung popped even if the other is intact and functioning.

NEW ANSWER IN: Can anyone understand why I would say that electricity is one of the most concentrated forms of negativity known to man???

GexTheLizard: I hope that the OP realizes, of course, that there is electricity at work in your body every minute of every day. A good example is seen in the electrycardiogram (ECG or EKG). What the EKG measures is the amount of electricity generated by your heart as the heart muscles depolarize (co...

NEW ANSWER IN: Is there a cure for gangrene?

GexTheLizard: Gangrene is essentially rotting necrotic tissues, so no there isn't a cure short of removing the infected tissues and keeping the surgical wound clean so it doesn't get re-infected.

NEW ANSWER IN: What's your favorite search engine?

GexTheLizard: Gotta agree it's all Google. The more I learn about their algorythm and how it works the crazier and more complex trying to understand it becomes. It's amazing how much they put into internet data collection. Everything from what their software tracks to Gmail accounts to YouTube video hi...

NEW ANSWER IN: Is there a correct way to put on iPod ear buds?

GexTheLizard: I always have issues with these too! I usually put them in, the left one in the right ear and the right one in the left ear, and have the sound output part facing forward. It works a lot better for me because my ears are really really small, but it still hurts anyway.

You could try getting those...

NEW ANSWER IN: What Are You Expecting From Google Chrome OS?

GexTheLizard: I'm not sure what to expect, but I expect it to be pretty good given it's coming from Google. I'm almost afraid to use it though - Google Chrome was used partially to gather information on what people were doing on the net to be used in the search engine algorythm so I'm not sur...

NEW ANSWER IN: How would you rate Questional compared to other "Question" sites like Yahoo! Answers and Answerbag and such?

GexTheLizard: I also like Questional a lot better than Yahoo Answers, About.com, and other like sites because Yahoo Answers is spammy, cluttered, and full of advertisers because it's unmoderated for the most part. About.com is all right, but the only people who really answer questions are their "experts" so I do...
