A. That his prices are a little high, but his selection is much better than the Mother and Father tinkersmith cart traveling with them. Some thought his labor and fair trade practices made him a morally superior vendor, but others condemned his lack of dedication to innovation and the environmental damage caused by his cart as it moved down the King's Road.

English question: What is the difference between "the other creatures" and "other creatures" in this sentence?
Q. "Human beings are not so special. They are not that different from (the) other creatures, despite unconsciously recognizing themselves as being superior." Q; What is the difference between "the other creatures" and "other creatures" in the sentence above? Could anyone help, please? Thank you. Thank you all for the help. Here I used "the" to specify "creatures" as all creatures except for human beings. But this isn't correct usage of "the", right? ? Are both correct and both mean all creatures except for human beings? Ah, ok! I understood. Thank you for the good answers!! :)

Spermatazoa - the little tadpoles, are they actually "creatures" living inside me?
Q. I mean obviously they are alive but are they something "non-human" and independent living inside me, capable of feeling and surviving outside of my body. If so, is could they ever evolve into something of their own accord (without fertilizing a female egg).
Asked by Isaac Dust - Mon Apr 21 10:43:09 2008 - Biology - 3 Answers - Comments
A. Yes they are alive but incapable of living outside of the human body for more than a few minutes, so they would be unlikely to evolve into anything other than what they are already. They cannot be joined together either. The female egg, however can be joined with another female egg and produce female offspring. I just wonder who it is who does all these experiments and for what purpose.

Are there any conspiracy theories of tall tales connected to "The Apotheosis of Washington"?
Q. I've been getting more and more into folklore, tall tales, fables, conspiracy theories (which I take with a huge grain of salt) and the like, and the Apotheosis of Washington has always been one of my favorite works of art.

A. I've read The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. It may not count though. I'm not an American but the book described that there is a painting about the Apotheosis of Washington in the US Capitol. Strange. I never thought Washington was a Deist (the novel said so). But the details in the novel are most likely fiction.

What "Animals" AND "Myth Creatures" are represented the sun, the moon, and the star?

A. Which star in particular might you be referring to? There's quite a lot of stars, after all. "Myth creatures" that symbolize the Sun and the Moon would also cover any old pantheon. Helios, Sol Invictus, Ra in his chariot, Atum, and Surya are all examples of sun gods. Examples of Moon gods might be Selene, Nanna, Sin or Mani. Your 'the star' isn't specific enough for me to answer.

How can liberals look up from their steak and ask "How could you kill one of gods own creatures"?
Q. Leather belts, shoes, upholstery, jackets, purses, gloves, fur, where do these dummies think this stuff comes from? Would they be happier if we bred all animals in captivity? Every animal in the wild eventually dies, and usually not peacefully, surrounded by family members, but in the teeth of a bigger animal.

Asked by newsies62 - Mon Feb 4 13:11:16 2008 - Words & Wordplay - 2 Answers - Comments
A. The band's name is Manic Street Preachers (often known colloquially as "The Manics"). It is a Welsh rock band often associated with the Britpop scene, who gained mainstream popularity in the UK in the late 1990s. They are known for their intelligent and often political lyrics and have a dedicated following. Although during the early part of their career they were regarded as a punk rock band, their music is now often generally regarded as alternative rock, due to changes in their sound.
