The colour was named after the fruit, lemon is considered a colour too.

2. Why Do people in Arabia live in cold homes in hot conditions?
To stay cool? Wtf?

3. Does Anything eat wasps?
Spiders, parasites and a few small mammals. Depends what species of wasp.

4. What is the fate of humanity?
To suffer constant setbacks from theists in pursuit of real enlightened existence and world peace?

5. Are their aliens?
Are their aliens what? See above.

6. Can you become so fat that you can become bulletproof?
How is skin bulletproof, regardless of how much fat is behind it?

7. Did the "Big Bang" actually happen?
Probably/possibly

8.Will there be a vacination for Cancer?
There already are: http://www.cancer.gov/newscenter/pressreleases/cancervaccines

9. What's the difference between the North Pole and South Pole?
One has penguins, the other polar bears. One's ice, the other land.

10. Is there such things as ghosts?
No, just creationists that seem dead already, hanging around to spook you.

According to this book, http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1861979738/qid=1142592974/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/026-5837348-6235612, you need about 4 foot of blubber to stop a bullet. I'm only trying to remember what I heard on a radio show about it, but I think that's about right.

Yeah, but surely the bullet still pierces the skin? Unless he's suggesting that you wear a suit of someone else's subcutaneous fat layer or something...

Well that hardly makes you bullet-proof does it? It might stop you being killed, but it's still gonna hurt.

Hardly bulletbroof. Well, when you get shot with a bullet wearing a bulletproof vest on, it still hurts. It feels like getting hit with a baseball.
