Where is the furnace located in my house and could I be in danger.?
I moved into a new house and called the gas company out to turn the gas on in the house. The guy came by out and replace the meter and also came in and turned the pilot to the stove and the water heater on. But he could not find the furnace anywhere in the house. The house has central air and heat. So, now I am unable to heat the house. Another concern of mine is since he did not find the furnace and he could not light the pilot to the furnace does this mean that gas could possibly be coming into the house somewhere where the pilot should be lit. I'm scared that there is gas coming into the house somewhere and could possibly be a fire hazard or gas poisoning.
What happens when we drop water into a blast furnace in a steel plant?
There’s so much radiant heat that anything but a very large amount of water would probably evaporate immediately above or on the surface. Enough water could lower the temperature at the surface enough to cause the molten steel to solidify, and this could be incredibly disastrous, because elements in the steel get cooled off and become gasses, which would have no way to escape aside from rupturing the cooled metal skin. If the skin is cool enough to no longer be plastic, say below 2000f, it could be a very powerful explosion, but i think the high heat of the underlying molten steel, a giant thermal mass, would make this really hard to pull off. If you were to quickly inject a large volume of water into the center of the molten mass, that would evaporate nearly instantly, be compressed and super-heated, and then break the surface and scatter a few tons of molten steel all over the place at probably a very high speed. Molten metal isn’t just insanely hot, it’s also heavy, so the molten metal bombs would cause impact damage as well as damage from it’s retained heat. Basically, it would be really fucked up and scary.
Why are basements scary?
A lot of them are inadequately lit, crowded with boxes and other crap that people store in them, often dusty, full of cobwebs, prone to mice, sometimes moldy, and usually home to the boiler/central air/furnace units, which can make odd noises and smells. Plumbing pipes, hot water heaters, washer/dryers, and other mysterious equipment added to the sense of unease because they all made weird noises at unexpected times. Basements often have ceilings that are too low and not enough light, so those two things can cause claustrophobia, even in people who are not normally susceptible to it. Older homes didn't have requirements to have escape windows, either, so there was a possibility of getting stuck down there in an emergency. They also didn't always have finished walls, floors, and ceilings, so they could look and feel creepy. And half of the scary movies ever made have at least some of their scenes in a basement. Dungeons are just basements with a purpose, and cinematic killers often held their victims in one. Modern houses in America usually have bright, open, finished basements with escape windows. They're just another room in the home, but in times past they were much more likely to be filled with junk, dusty, and dark. Most "why" questions can be answered at least partially by looking at the economic aspect of the issue, and this is no exception. Basements used to be scary because a lot of people couldn't afford to make them more livable, or simply didn't need to. My basement isn't scary, though it is kind of messy. I remember neighbor's basements when I was a kid that were very scary, but that was because I was like most kids and afraid of the unknown, and had older brothers that were good at fostering and encouraging that fear.
What's a good dark scary name for a prison?
Names don't need to be scary to be chilling. If you try and emphasize too much on the 'scary' factor of the name, you'll overdo it and the name might become a laughingstock. A simple, cold labeling of the building (its function, location, something of the like) might be better. Having an indifferent name gives the feeling the compound simply doesn't care who you are and how you're coping - and that's much scarier than someone whose simply aggressive. I'm not saying to call your prison 'Camp Daisy' or something, but you don't need to go looking for the scariest name ever. Voldemort - his name isn't particularly scary by itself, but it struck fear in people because of the man in conjured. Sauron. al-Qaida. Names, by themselves, hold no power - it's what they refer to that gives them that strength.
Should I release my hamster to nature? My hamster is trying to "break jail" every night. I wonder if it is eager to be free. Will it be happier living in the wild?
If by "the wild" you mean inside your home, then by all means go ahead.He will love living under your fridge. Ours did, when he escaped. Make sure and leave out some food and water and he'll be happy as a clam. Oh, but he'll need a mate. The two of them will be happy under your fridge or they may decide to move into larger quarters behind the dishwasher when the kids arrive. They'll die eventually, probably from chewing on power cords or falling into the toilet. I don't know how ours did it, but he somehow found a way. (We found him before it was Too Late.) Some of their offspring should survive though, and continue to entertain you by climbing into your sock drawer and chewing up your socks to make a nest.In the outdoors, they will soon get cold and wet, and they won't know how to find food or evade predators, so that is not safe for them. They won't be happy at all.I think what your hamster really wants is some exercise. First, he needs a running wheel in his cage. This is an absolute necessity. Hamsters love to run and explore, that's why they love escaping. In measured wheels, they have been recorded traveling as far as four miles in one night! That doesn't mean they want to be fed to the neighborhood cats and owls in the great outdoors.We let ours out for a run every night, indoors of course. We taught them to come when we called. (They were all very tame to handle, so they were not scared of us.) I call a hamster by scratching and making scuttling sounds with my fingers on the floor. They are so curious about that noise that they always come to see if it might be another hamster. Then I just scoop them up. Sometimes they would fall asleep in certain favourite places, like my shoe cupboard. We got to know where to look for them. Don't ever feed them outside their cage (except as bait). If they can't find any food during their outings they are usually happy to find a treat back in their cage when they return.For the more skittish ones, another way to catch them is to put a small dark box on the floor. We used a tea cannister. Dark holes are irresistible to hamsters, they just can't help themselves, but must go in and take a look. Worked every time. We had full-sized hamsters, not the mini Russian ones. The mini ones are much harder to tame and catch, but I think the same techniques might work.
I need a scary poem for class?
When you are taken over by demons, There are a few signs to tell, That you are going directly to hell. When your eyes have turned a glowing jade, When you pull out a knife and sharpen the blade, When rainbows and unicorns make you sick, And you love to beat dolls with a stick. When you tape your cat to a chair, And do not give a singal care, You slice them and dice them, Like a big ol' turcky, And fry them and back them, Like a piece of jerky. You take the remains, and throw them on cars, And make people belive that it came from Mars. When you have been completely taken over, You take out the giant machettie, And cut off your arm, like a clump of spaghettie. You have no will of your own, The signs have shown, That that you are not human, not even bit, That you are a demon, which in fire, you sit!
Is it humanly possible to outrun a tiger and escape, if you hypothetically feel no fear when it chases you?
A tiger will have you horribly outclassed, whether you’re scared or not. It would be better if you did feel fear, so that the incredible physiological cascade of effects that fear causes could kick in and boost your performance.Tigers are typically ambush predators, which means they will be running at you from very close range. You know that huge mass of muscles they have? That's all going to be harnessed to the singular task of accelerating their body very rapidly at you, quickly reaching their top speed of about 50km/h. Your top speed is about half that, even with adrenaline pumping through your blood stream and your capillaries dilated to their physical maximum.Not even on your best day are you outrunning that phenomenal creature.
What's the most terrifying creature in the Star Wars universe?
Let’s face it, Star Wars has been inspired by real life a lot of the times, the creatures are no exceptions.Ewoks? More like space teddy bears. Gungans? Just Rastafarian frog people. Wampas? Space Sasquatch/bear with horns. Krayt dragons? Seriously just dragons.But I ask unto you, what is the most alien design for any creature from Star Wars?What if I told you that the most alien creatures is also one of the scariest?I give you: the sarlacc.You know it, you love it. Yet, it is so mysterious, alien, and totally freaky.According to the Wookipedia, a site that I trust, the Sarlacc starts out its life as a spore.Yes, this gigantic “creature” enters this world as a microscopic one celled SPORE.A spore is shot out into space, into the great big nowhere, and it tries to make a home wherever it lands.When it lands, it digs itself into the ground, turning the area around it into a giant mouth basically. It gets bigger and bigger, and it roots itself into the ground deeper and deeper.After a couple of thousand of years, it becomes what we see in the picture. A giant mouth with tentacles, lines with sharp claws that prevent escape from anything that falls inward. Whatever creature falls in will find a new definition of pain, as it is kept alive from potent neuro-toxins, and slowly digested over a thousand years.Yeah…. here’s an artists representation of the “body” of a sarlacc looks like:Yeah… Weird huh?Of course there’s the space worm, that’s creepy too.
Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien: Resurrection...?
1) Alien impregnates a man on a planet, hatches from him and kills everybody except Sigourney Weaver (SG), who flies off in an escape pod. Scariest of the series 2) SG gets picked up and revived from her escape pod, gets sent back to the subsequently colonized planet with a bunch of marines, as contact has been lost. They almost all get killed until SG kills the queen. SG flies off in an escape pod. Most fun of the series, with some great lines. 3) SG ends up on a prison planet inhabited by over-the-hill British character actors. A badly drawn CGI alien kills the prisoners and staff, until Ripley kills it. She then finds out she's pregnant with an alien baby and jumps into a furnace. Low budget stinker. 4) A clone of SG is created, which is part human, with alien dna, and ends up on a mercenary space ship. A bunch of aliens kill most of the crew; SG kills the aliens, then meets up with her hybrid offspring, in an emotional and touching scene. SG kills her kid and flies off in an escape pod. Not great, but ok. There were two more films with aliens, but they had to share the billing with predators from the Predator series.
