Ask Bakiryu!

[Bakiryu]

Yup. I always wanted to be that magazine consultant personm to whom everybody ask questions.

So, ask away!

You can ask anything!

The options are endless!

And unlike a magazine which just chooses the question, I'll actually answer.

You can even PM me with the question. And I'll post the answer here (you'll be anonymous too!)

Ask away:

about fashion, science, random philosophy, obscure themes, opinions...

(just like a magazine!)

Ask Bakiryu! (and keep my thread alive :lol: )

Yes I did. But my new avie is so much cuter, don't you think?


What's the T.A.R.D.I.S.?

Wow, It's not all the time I actually find a......DOCTOR WHO virgin! :lol:

The T.A.R.D.I.S is a ship used by the doctor. the initials mean: Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space

after all this, I'm still confused...

[Bakiryu]

You don't need to ask about me! Ask about anything!

[Shalot]

So, what is the meaning of life?

[toni]

ohh...okay :)

where did you get your username? :p

[Bakiryu]

after all this, I'm still confused...
I apologise but still don't understand...

it's ok, I'll explain further.

The British (weirdos they are) have a television show about this chap, the doctor who just travels around time. The tardis is his time machine, which just happen to look like that pic I posted (Is all on the wikipedia link).


So, what is the meaning of life?

Life is: the condition that distinguishes organisms from inorganic objects and dead organisms, being manifested by growth through metabolism, reproduction, and the power of adaptation to environment through changes originating internally. (got that from the dictionary)!

what, you wanted something else? the meaning of life is to be alive.


ohh...okay :)

where did you get your username? :p

It just came to me while writing poetry. It actually means: Baki= eternal (in turkish or similar language) Ryu = japanese word for dragon. Bakiryu = Eternal Dragon.

[toni]

whoops, wrong question.. (ERASE)

[Shalot]

Did you sit down and compose a list of all questions that could possibly be asked here and then come up with an answer to post in response to that question? Did you put it in a database and do you type in the question in your query to come up with the pre-composed answer?

Why do women like ugly rock stars?

[Shalot]

are ears different from the rest of your skin? I'm not just talking inner
"major-wax-producer" ear. I'm talking about the exterior ear. Is it different from the regular epidermis (i.e. the one that covers say your arms and legs). Are the outer ears different somehow and do they secrete wax as well?

Well, i'm not well versed in the subject but by simple touch they do feel the same. However the skin of your ear seems to bleed less when cut than the skin of your arm. Also, ears are a bit softer and more delicate (they burn with the sun). I think ear wax only comes from the inside ear.

Because they're interesting and some even have money. It's like, why women like "bad boys". They're cooler than the average joe (even if they look weird) and they can buy them stuff you can't.

Like Pensive said. They may look happy but they're not. They can't go back on time or be eternally beautiful. Most celebrities are appreciated for their beauty or voice and when they get old we forget about them.

Nobody can have what they want, even if you're rich.

Why Not?

[AuntShecky]

If researchers are correct, evolution has prompted the human male to choose for his mate a human female who
fits a certain standard of beauty ( the standard of which the researchers have also discovered varies very little across cultures and centuries.)
If that is the case -- if males have mated with beautiful women for millennia , why is the world filled with so many unattractive people?

Dear Magazine Person Who Answers Questions,

I am a young beautiful girl and I have two boyfriends. Now, as it happens, I feel in love with a third one. But I know that one of them is also in love with my best friend's cousin. This cousin is very hot and has a twin who is in love with my sister's cat. This is all pretty confusing and all I want to do is actually change sex and become a man to marry my gay lover. But I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. I have been considering harakiri, or mass murder. What would you recommend?

Yours sincerely,

[Bakiryu]

Why do people hate?

because they fear difference and are taught by society. We mimic those around us and hate is a learned thing that like love, we learn quickly.


Why is it that I don't take good care of my teeth, and I still don't have any cavities. . . . . . . . .

Because (like me) you have stronger teeth (depends on the kinds of food you eat, for example if you drink lots of milk.)


If researchers are correct, evolution has prompted the human male to choose for his mate a human female who
fits a certain standard of beauty ( the standard of which the researchers have also discovered varies very little across cultures and centuries.)
If that is the case -- if males have mated with beautiful women for millennia , why is the world filled with so many unattractive people?

Because some of these people weren't attracted to beauty. Not every man likes a perfect blonde. And besides, the rearrangement of genes doesn't often give a beautiful offspring. (ugly people still get some and they have kids, don't they? :alien: )


Why Not?

I meant in the context of being a celebrity. How many religiously at peace celebrities have you heard of?

Dear Scorpio92

While the conflicting emotions of adolescence may lead you to consider suicide or mass murder, I would first recommend investing into some therapy before giving this situation more thought.

Some questions I've recently thought of:

If Russia is part of Asia, why aren't Russians considered Asians? Are they? I mean, appearance-wise. You know what I'm sayin'?

Why is "genius" spelled "genius" and "ingenious" spelled..."ingenious"?

Please answer, oh wise and benevolent Baki!

[Koa]

Can I give my answer can I give my answer...
Russia can be defined as Eurasia. Geographically, part of it is in Europe, part of it is in Asia (Europe finishing at the Ural mountains, around Ekaterinburg for example if I'm not mistaken). Ethnic Russian, as in Slavic people, don't look Asian. Russians of non-Slavic origin sometimes do, like the Kazakhs (who are another country but some still live in Russia or there are similar populations living in the Russian Federation). Some also look middle-Eastern... Russia is made up of several nations/ethnicities, because first the Tsars conquered such a vast territory including lots of tribes there, and then they mixed even more at the time of the Soviet Union, when also many nations were moved around (ask Stalin). Some want independance, hence the Chechnya thing...
Culturally, I don't think most Russians, even in the European part, identify as Europeans, they consider Russia to be unique. Although of course there are other theories.

Sorry, I only have two degrees in Russian studies :blush: And still I do oversimplify a lot. :blush:
Now Baki can give her answer :lol:

"DEAR ABBY: Call me confident, but I know I am a real catch. But for the life of me, I can't get a date with the "right" kind of guy.

Abby, I am beautiful inside and out. I was raised in a great family with good morals, I'm kind to everyone, I've got a killer personality, great sense of humor, an inspiring attitude, and the glass is always half-full.

This may seem cocky, but my two problems with men are: I seem to attract creeps, and the kind of men I deserve don't think they've got a shot in hell, so they don't ask me out.

Most of the dates and relationships I've had have happened because I asked the other person out. I've been in two major relationships with very attractive, bright men, and I'd like to experience that again.

I'm so sick of meeting creeps! I really want someone in my league. I've been told a thousand times that I'm gorgeous, stunning, or asked why I'm not modeling.

I actually have a life of my own but I cannot escape. They stop by my house arguing about the dog, they call me on the phone arguing about the dog. What can I do!

baki...

just talk to them person to person. get your parents together (when they're relaxed since it'll be worse if they're angry) and have a family talk about their differences. then suggest, that if they can't fix their problems it's time either for some therapy or a divorce since their begin together and arguing all the time is the same as them psychologically abusing you.

Gaining weight it's easy because the body is absorbing what you give it.

Think of your body like a moist cake. You pour syrup on it and it absorbs it, then you have to really squeeze it and let it sit to shake the syrup out.

Your body it's the same since the food you ate is now part of you (all that fatty tissue!) your weight-losing metabolism is slower.

Tomorrow it is going to be 73 F. I am flying home where it is supposed to be 53F, the next two days will be in the 40's. Do I lug a coat on the plane or do I just freeze a little while I'm there?

take the coat that way you'll be comfy instead of mentally kicking yourself when it gets cold. Unless you have more coats at home, then just leave it and get a coat there.

Dear Bakiryu,

I need to right a Thanksgiving poem by tomorrow but am having writer's block for the first time in a very long time. What should I do?

brainstorm.

Get some sheets of paper and write everything you can think of about thanksgiving.

For example, what are you thankful for, food items and such.

then read something that inspires you to write, meanwhile just doodle out a few poems without putting pressure in yourself.

by the time you're done you'll have something :p

[Bakiryu]

try to understand her. Mothers have a lot to deal with sometimes and of course it makes them angry, just agree with her and be helpful until she's not so angry anymore.

It'd help if in a day when she's not so angry, you asked her what makes her so mad. (tactfully, of course)

get a hard shell taco or a taco wrap, then hold the taco firmly and take big bites. if this doesn't work then make your own homemade tacos, they'll be firmer and tastier!

[crazefest456]

th magic of wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit#Mouth
"Rabbits are generally nocturnal, and they also are relatively silent. Other than loud screams when frightened or caught by a predator, the only auditory signal known for most species is a loud foot thump made to indicate alarm or aggression. A notable exception is the volcano rabbit of Mexico, which utters a variety of calls."

Toni, you'll never conquer your fears if you don't confront them, next time stand up, and even if you're afraid just do what you went there to do. It would also help you to practice your public speaking skills for when another opportunity presents itself.



Who are these 'Some people' you refer to?


A clan of igneous pygmies up in the mountain :p



Why would Bob choose to annoy you?

:idea:
because the great overlord known as "THE AUTHOR" of Bob's story wrote it down to paper.



What is it you do not know the answer to?

Too many things to write down. The list would reach around the world three hundred thrice.



Where is Bob going, if not to you?

To the same place to where all the other Bob's from all other dimensions are going, their writers haven't yet decided but if they'd tell me, I'll let you know.



When did you first realize you do not know bob?


When I first heard about him on the sunday's news.

Duh. You just said it. "Normal". Normal guys are, well, normal. Where's the fun in that? Perhaps you, like most women, are psychologically attracted to men who are actually real, not just blah.


Why are guys obsessed with sex? o.O

Women are obsessed with sex too (if you don't believe me just pick up a copy of cosmo) , is just that guys proclaim their obsession more strongly. And since they have more testosterone.....

TSome of the birds may have been eaten by the Dutch sailors who discovered them. However, the primary causes of their extinction were the destruction of the forest (which cut off the Dodo's food supply), and the animals that the sailors brought with them, including cats, rats, and pigs, which destroyed Dodo nests.

idk. like i said, pays very little attention to me.

HA! he's 3 grades over me! like that will happen!

[Bakiryu]

exactly. you're answering your own question. find somebody you can actually get to know!

[browneyedbailey]

Hey. Thats not fair. I REALLY like him. we're getting to know each other better. kind of.

[Bakiryu]

and what was I saying? exactly the same thing! Make sure he sees you as girlfriend material and not just a friend tho.

[browneyedbailey]

*grumbles* He has a girlfriend. And I don't see him that much either. Only at church. And Ben's not even there half the time.

[Bakiryu]

so, let me summarize. He's older than you, you don't really see him or know him, he has a girlfriend and the chances he'll like you are almost nil.

that's just a silly infatuation then Bailey. Leave the guy alone (except for checking him out when he walks by :D)

I would do both I think. Keep it private and share pieces of it slowly. people's opinions are usually based on their emotions and if they feel resentment or anger towards you they won't really take your work as seriously.

I guess it depends on what different people can bear. If you feel extremely strong about it, share with those most likely to weight in the options and still care.

i would recommend weighting the pros and the cons of such an action first, then if one far more outweighs the other, decide upon that line of action without regret.

Dear Bakiryu,

I have a wonderful daughter and she is just nearly flawless, but there is one problem. She left crimson nail polish out where her brothers or the dog could get it and the lid wasn’t on tight- now there is a crimson spot on my carpet. Since then she has not been allowed to use nail polish. Tonight she offered to paint my toenails and I took her up on it. I requested black toenails with hot pink flowers on them. She painted four of my toes, became distracted by funny internet videos and left the polish out where her brothers or the dog could get to it with the lid not on tight and now there is a black spot next to the red spot. What should I do with such a girl?

Thanks in advance,

Oooooooooooh, Bad Bailey, bad.

I think you talk to her about paying more attention to what she does and if she doesn't (and another spot appears :p ) give her a sound punishment.

Now, I'm not a mother but a teenage girl but I would suggest making her clean the carpet by hand. My mother made me do it once when I spilled nail polish in the carpet and since then I've watched by nail polish bottles so they don't spill again.

I recommend listening to extremely over-happy music, caffeine and bitting your tongue every time you feel the need to snap at someone. and get plenty of sleep young lady. You can always work instead of surfing the net!

I recomend these musicians: Mika http://youtube.com/watch?v=Be6jlCuMvVQ , http://youtube.com/watch?v=mC9UzFhNlbA or http://youtube.com/watch?v=4tcn49zHLt0 .

Dear Bakiryu,

I have a wonderful daughter and she is just nearly flawless, but there is one problem. She left crimson nail polish out where her brothers or the dog could get it and the lid wasn’t on tight- now there is a crimson spot on my carpet. Since then she has not been allowed to use nail polish. Tonight she offered to paint my toenails and I took her up on it. I requested black toenails with hot pink flowers on them. She painted four of my toes, became distracted by funny internet videos and left the polish out where her brothers or the dog could get to it with the lid not on tight and now there is a black spot next to the red spot. What should I do with such a girl?

Thanks in advance,
Partially Pedicured


Oooooooooooh, Bad Bailey, bad.

I think you talk to her about paying more attention to what she does and if she doesn't (and another spot appears :p ) give her a sound punishment.

Now, I'm not a mother but a teenage girl but I would suggest making her clean the carpet by hand. My mother made me do it once when I spilled nail polish in the carpet and since then I've watched by nail polish bottles so they don't spill again.

thanks, helps me.


(sorry if this gets you in trouble B!)

You did.

[Bakiryu]

thanks, helps me.



You did.

I'm sorry :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: please forgive me!
At least you learned something *runs away :bawling:*

Bakiroo,

Settle this for me. Do you know who Penelope Cruz is? She's the person who was in Vanilla Skies with Tom Cruise, right? Well, you know the lady who played the housekeeper in Spanglish with Adam Sandler? It's not the same person is it???

No, she has a sort of tiner, sharper face. I think her name is Paz Vega.

Ask Baki:
How can I get over a cold in less than a week? Know of any old wives tales???

[Lote-Tree]

What is a Lote-Tree? ;-)

[Bakiryu]

Ask Baki:

Oooh, my mum makes special soup when I got a cold. It usually has a LOT of POTATOES, fresh clover and carrots. If you're a meat eater, then have some chicken soup. Then drink as much tea as you can take and drink honey.



What is a Lote-Tree? ;-)

You know. You said a while ago it was mystical, moving tree or something.

and according to wiki:
The Lote Tree is not an actual tree on Earth, but a mystical Islamic metaphor concerning the uppermost boundary in knowledge a human being can possess concerning God. It comes from the Qu'ran chapter 53, An-Najm (The Star), verses 10-18 and alludes to Muhammad's night journey from Mecca to Jerusalem and then through Heaven. "The Lote Tree of the furthest boundary," as it is called, is believed to be the furthest anyone can travel in Heaven in their approach to God; beyond this none can pass.

It's also a website where they sell very good shea lotion :p http://www.thelotetree.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=4

I want some of your mommy's soup!!!

You are the advice giver on your own thread as soon as I get the site going right? Isn't that what you've always wanted to be?

You want Bakiryu to be the advice guru on your site?

Sorry. Just an online book club kind of thing.

Being a fangirl is very tough. Being obsessed with the same band is equally as hard. My ears long for their music 24/7 and it is proving to be tough for me to stop thinking about them. Have you ever felt this way, o baki? Why do music have to be this infectious and er, powerful? And what do you think is the most powerful form of art there is?

I always feel that way, i'm always singing on my head my favorite band's music, and even yesterday I dreamed about them! :eek:

I think music was created to be infectious and powerful, otherwise, how would we love it so much, how would it make us laugh and cry. even though music is just a mix of sounds and lyrics, good music was made to move us.

I don't think there's a most powerful form of art. Art is art. Anything that can make us feel emotion and amazement is a powerful facet of art.'

but I would have to say human beings are, they're art, creating art, and ain't that powerful? ♥

we're thread killers :eek:!

Why on seeing care being returned for no care so many times, some still say you only reap whatever you sow?

[AdoreroDio]

Question of the day- My grandfather died this morning, why have I not cried yet? Is it bad that I haven't?

[Bakiryu]

Question of the day- My grandfather died this morning, why have I not cried yet? Is it bad that I haven't?

Because you're either in shock or denial, specially if you were close.

I found out my grandfather died too, last month and I haven't cried either.


Why on seeing care being returned for no care so many times, some still say you only reap whatever you sow?

Because people are dumb like that and pretend the world is a fair place when clearly it's not.

Can you tell me of a way to stop dreaming? Without getting myself killed.

[Bakiryu]

Can you tell me of a way to stop dreaming? Without getting myself killed.

coffee of course! you'll be awake for hours on end.

And if daydreaming is your problem just busy up yourself with reading!

[SleepyWitch]

hey Baki, I need some info about emo kids.
lately, I've seen some couples of emo girls walking around either hand in hand or just walking around together... the point is, they were styled so similarly that they looked almost like twins. was that only my impression or is there really an emo trend where girls try to look identical?
plus, the ones who hold hands, are they lesbians or best friends or both?

last term, I had those two girls in my tutorial who looked 98% alike. they didn't wear emo clothes or dye their hair, but they looked so similar, I never knew which was which. they weren't related or anything.
One of them was a really mean ***** and kept disrupting our sessions, so I had to snarl at her. but I was never really able to figure out which of them to snarl at.
I thought it was only me, because I often have difficulty remembering the names of girls when they all wear the same clothes, hair style etc... but after seeing those emo twins I'm beginning to think that my girls were the sort of lesbian who hate talking to anyone else... or maybe emo best friends who hate everyone else ???? :confused:

[Pensive]

And if daydreaming is your problem just busy up yourself with reading!

Now you speak of it! Reading is actually a stimulus to get me day-dreaming. :(
Ah and coffee doesn't work. Even with my eyes open, I dream.

hahah, don't worry about that Pensy, it's perfectly normal for teenagers to dream and/or daydream all the time. I was the same at your age and still am :)

what about watching lots of tv?

Well, the trend among emo girls is usually to look like emo guys. Since there's not really a lot of diversity most emos, irregardless of gender, look the same. Experimentation is a big emo thing, so they're probably dating or really-really-really close friends.

There are lots of trends where girls dress like each other in order to belong to a certain group. Maybe both of them just followed a fashion, yeah, they're probably either dating or really close.

not at all, is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. Just be sure to practice internet safety :) People are never who they say they are.

What was the difference between acid washed and stone washed jeans? And what kind of acid did they use? And about the stone washed jeans...were there actually stones involved in coloring of this jeans fabric?

[Virgil]

Why do some people wash their hair without showering the rest of their body and other people wear shower caps so their hair does get wet when they shower?

[Bakiryu]

What was the difference between acid washed and stone washed jeans? And what kind of acid did they use? And about the stone washed jeans...were there actually stones involved in coloring of this jeans fabric?

"stone washed" jeans: As the name implies, freshly dyed jeans are loaded into large washing machines and tumbled with stones. Adding pumice stones gives the additional effect of a faded or worn look. The pumice abrades the surface of the jeans like sandpaper, removing some dye particles from the surfaces of the yarn.

http://134.68.135.1/jitt/sampler/biology/bio_archive/goodfor15.html

"Acid Washed": At first the Acid Wash process involved soaking pumice in Industrial Strength Chlorine however is was discovered that potassium permanganate was more controllable and just as strong an oxidizer. They simple(sic) marinated pumice stone in it and then vacuum packed the stone to the required moisture level. Acid wash was a chemical processed denim that stripped the top layer of color off to a white surface with the undertones of navy blue remaining in the jeans. And not only jeans were acid washed; if you were truly fashionable, you also had an acid washed denim jacket that matched said acid washed jeans."
http://www.atozbluejeans.com/JeansAcidWash.htm (:( Ithought it involved drugs! jk :lol: )


Why do some people wash their hair without showering the rest of their body and other people wear shower caps so their hair does get wet when they shower?

A) because they were never instructed on proper shower procedure or got dirty hair and a clean body.

B) Because too much hair washing is bad for you hair and you do shower every day, right? Hair needs protection.

Bakiryu, do you think the world woudl be a better place if Alexaner the Great hadn't died at 32, but had gone on to conquer most of the rest of the known world? What about if he had died before he became "the Great?" I know this question is random, but I have been reading a lot of counterfactuals lately and I'm curious about your opinion.

I once worked overnights at a place that turned regular dark jeans into stone washed jeans. Talk about a crappy job! It's really rocks and there are different kinds of rocks that make different shades of jeans- I'm allergic to all of them

[Bakiryu]

bump.

baki,

I have been cooking and canning all of these veggies from the garden. I start when I get up and sometimes I'm up until 1 or 2 am finnishing up. My kitchen is in a mess and I don't want to cook supper. What should I feed the kids tonight?

If you've been making veggies, then give them some veggies, you won't have to do much work.

When I don't feel like cooking, I can get away with a pasta of choice (usually angel hair, though), with a tomato pasta sauce (like Prego, chunky variety) and a huge crisp green salad with tomatoes a-plenty. Warm up some bread (or toast rye bread) and you got yourself a meal. :nod:

[motherhubbard]

I went with meat loaf (turkey), steamed broccoli, and baked potato. But I really wanted to just give everyone a bowl of cereal!

You made meatloaf, steamed broccoli, and baked potato on a day that you didn't want to cook??? Holy Carp. What do you make when you want to cook??


(cereal is always a good choice for dinner I say)

That's what I had.

[kiz_paws]

Cereal is an excellent choice, lol!

But I do remember my mom making grilled cheese sandwiches (she had five kids and this was easy, if you had two loaves of bread, lol). And she'd serve one tin of vegetable soup mixed with one tin of tomato soup (and dilute accordingly) -- us kids really liked this particular meal, not knowing that it was really a 'I just don't have the energy to prepare a formal meal' type of meal ... Ok I'll quit, Baki, I think I am verging on hijacking this thread -- forgive me! ;)

um, could you clarify this question? I don't really understand the phrasing? :blush:


Is there a technique to generate good moods all the time? Any therapy?

Music works and anything that detracts from the world. But no, happiness is only transient. If we were happy all the time or in a good mood how would we know we are?

This is a hot thread.Quite stimulating and noteworthy to have you whose knowledge is wide.My question is-If you get hell from someone,what would you do?
