    I finally got the darn sight do work. The topic was about ice bergs melting. Well the truth is that Too many people are suffering of stress over it. All 7 of them. But out of all realism the reason too many people are worried is since ice melts at a slightly slower speed than water can freeze at -149*F so you are getting way too worried about this topic. But i cant be the only one with computer problems so reply to mine in your comment.
    But yet since i have to reply to some one i must go onto this week's topic. In my eyes the whole world started as one cell. cells can multiply to it constantly did increased it's numbers. The one cell was nothingness. more and more nothingness.(trying to not act boring here.)Since more nothingness appeared one cell decided to change to something els, pressure. It multiplied and multiplied until more cells trying to be different formed. Eventually starting a gravitational core that we call "The Inner Core" And one became part of the "The Outer Core" and so on until one became a being and more and more beings appeared that eventually one evolved to a human. None of us Know the real reason but i would say the best wording is by "Jose Marin" since he used great vocabulary and detail that yet cant be proven. And he also talks about the topic as if he knew what was really happening but in reality none of us know.
