Creatures of the Deep

In recent years strange sea creatures have washed up to shore dead. Some of these are believed to be prehistoric animals while others are thought to be very old large versions of present life forms. I wonder what creatures are at the bottom of the ocean where the pressure is so great it crushes metal. As our technology expanse we will be able to dive deeper and uncover the secrets of these dark abysses. What will we find?

Mythical Beasts

We have all read a story or two were the hero either fought or was helped by mythical creatures. Many of these creatures are very similar to normal animals. The Pegasus, a winged horse, seems to have possibly existed along with the unicorn, dragon, and especially the Giant Sea Serpents. These creatures could have existed in some form or fashion but I doubt that they would have existed as we see them today. Were mythical beasts real at some point or does man have an extremely good imagination?

P.E. Classes

Recently a friend brought to my attention a query that has been right under my nose.
Several important people want to end childhood obesity so the pass legislature and change the cafeteria food standards and encourage physical activity but leave it up to the individual. I wonder why they don't make it mandatory to have a P.E. class every year so that students are physically active 5 days out of the week. This class would help fight obesity better because many people won't exercise unless they are told to.

High School Relationships

The stereotypical high-school student is a confused hormonal being in and out of loads of relationships. Last semester I heard that boy-friend, girl-friend relationships are very stressful. Since I have not and will not be in this kind of relationship in high-school I asked, "If relationships are stressful in high-school, why do you continue to be in one?"
To me it makes sense to only date the person you plan to marry. I wonder why people are compelled to be in many relationships (boy-friend, girl-friend) when they have no intention of marrying that person. Doing this only hurts both people.

Color Perception

In my freshman science class we discussed color and how the eye sees it. During class I had a query that has always given me cause to wonder.
Are the colors that I see the same as the colors that others see? In preschool and kindergarten we learn the names of colors so we all recognize the same name. I wonder if what I see as red is what you see as blue. I wonder if we call a color the same name but see it differently.

Aztec Calender

Many of the Latin American natives constructed many amazing structures such as sun temples that reflect light to make an image. Of all of these structures, the most intriguing is the Aztec Calender.
The recent movie 2012 depicts the end of the world predicted by the Aztec Calender. I wonder how the Aztecs were able to "predict" the end of the world. Even with today's technology we cannot predict such an event. For this reason, I don't believe the world will end in 2012 (it could), but you do have to wonder, "What would I do if I knew the world was about to end?"
