How do you know if an electric fence is switched on or off without touching it?

Favorite Answer:

Hey Paula,

The correct answer is Jendralus!

A Blade of Grass will probably have moisture on it – Conducts electricity.

Pee, Water, Tongue, etc all have moisture on it – Conducts electricity.

Stick, Twig any other non-insulated object won’t have any effect on electric fence.

Meters, I don’t carry one around with me. Do the rest of you?

Listen for hum, tick, smell etc. If this were so true, you wouldn’t have so many people electrocuting themselves every year!

The only correct answer is to throw something metallic at it to see the reaction.

that does boiling soup have in common with jam donuts?

Hey Michael,

Both are boiled!

Jam must be boiled so that it doesn’t spoil while inside the donut. Additionally, if the jam were not reduced enough, you would have some very soggy Jam donuts!

What is the history of people’s last names like Black, White, Brown and Green?

Favorite Answer:

Hey Girl,

It’s a great question.

Common names like you mention are French/English based. Others that emigrated to the land where they took the name were usually asked what their name meant, many times it would be taken from a tribal name (My name means John from the Black tribe hence, John Black. ), or from an area they emigrated from (Montenegro = Black Mountain; Greenland = Green; Montblanc= White Head/Mountain) and mostly because early in many countries, the tax man or the immigration official rarely spoke more than one tongue and relied on their best understanding of the language the the immigrant was from.

In the case of Freed Slaves, they rarely wanted any connection with their owner. So they would not take the name of the owner (Roosevelt, Montgomery, Johnson, etc) but would instead take the name of a President/Statesman they had learned of/admired. In lieu of that, “What’s in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet…” So colors were just as good as anything else!

I love my job but is this more important than my family ?

Hey Grumble,

In short — NEVER!

If you really need the cash, become a politician! You don’t need to know anything and after 8 years, you can retire on a pension!

Just read a book that says Halloween is a manifestation of evil (occult ergo evil). What do you think?

Hey Emelia,

It was once known as “All Hallows Eve”. This was the day that you chased away the spirits so that your harvest would go well and you wouldn’t have to worry about those pesky ghosts until the spring (May Day).

Some have taken this to be that it was some sort of “Evil” day. No more evil than saying “Bless You!” when someone sneezes.

How about offering his services to the elderly….like mowing lawns, planting flowers, cleaning debris from yards, walking dogs, or just doing small things like that. Many elderly people can’t do these things and are willing to pay a young person to help them.

He could learn to be an entrepenuer and perhaps build an empire! Who knows?!

Hope that helps)
