Well since is mere mortals can make things heavier than we can lift. i'd assume a deity can.
I can clap with one hand. The noise is nothing special.
It is to reduce the chances of the person that is handling the needle, of catching anything.

:doubt:yes i agree with turnbull but the idea with the god question is that if god is all powerful there is nothing he cant lift but also given that he is god he should be able to do anything including build something he cant lift ... but he should be able to lift it... etc

This is a classical paradox, which, when taken to extreme, disproves the entire existence of humanity

This is a highly ANSWERABLE question, despite its prevalence as this "bit"
Driveways are the pathways from your home, specifically built for this purpose, from where you are to begin driving
Parkways were designed intentionally different from other highways, in that they include greenery, trees, etc, such that they resemble parks, giving motorist a "scenic" view

1: It's like can God create an indestructible object? Well, if God is omnipotent, then
yes God can. So if God is omnipotent then why can't God destroy it? It is
a paradox that the human mind cannot comprehend using logic. What happens
when an immovable object is met by an irresistable force? Same thing.
2: Probably the sound of a hand cutting thru the air, but you would'nt be able to
hear it very well.
3: It's just medical protocol. Medical personnel are taught to sterilize needles before
injection. Also, there is always a chance that the person being put to death could
receive a pardon before the lethal portion of the injections are administered (as I
beleive they are given in three stages- pure saline prep, tranquilizer then the poison).

you know the "tree falls in the woods and no one hears it, does it make a sound thing?"
i was taught that technically it doesn't, it makes a vibration. sound waves are vibrations of air and this vibration only becomes a sound when it is heard - technically.
dunno if this is accurate but i also whip it out when this question comes up.
anyone remember when they asked will smith that question in fresh prince lol xD
