We unfortunately do not have gills, thus we do not have the capability to breathe underwater. Plus, we have cells that are not used to being in a hypertonic environment so after a long enough exposure our cells will shrivel and then we will die due to necrosis as well as dehydration.

Why can't pointers (C++) be easier?

C++ was based on C and therefore cannot be easy to understand.

How many pencils do I have if I have three leaves?

[ericlepanda]

Pencil lead is primarily graphite, which is made out of carbon. An average dried leaf is about 50% carbon and weighs about 1 gram. So three leaves would have 1.5 grams of carbon.

A pencil has a mass of 5 grams, assuming most of that is carbon, three leaves would give you 0.3 pencils.

Why is my 4 month uncharged Ti-Nspire still alive?

I'm sorry to tell you this but it was never actually alive. Although most graphing calculators do respond to stimuli, maintain ordered internal conditions, and "metabolize" batteries into energy, they do not have the ability to reproduce or evolve and therefore cannot be considered a form of life.

Why does spaghetti grow on trees?

[Things2do]

I'm afraid it doesn't. It is mass produced in a large factory from many other items, which were created to be food, are combined and heated, and there is also a chance that something that was genetically modified is also included.
