A. 08/29/2005 : 11:18:43 Well guys we have some good news on Akili. The rehab center where he is at in Austin is continuously looking after him and making sure they do everything they can to help him recover. He is now coughing on his own and starting to hold his head up. The latest tests run on him have showed that both sides of his brain are showing brain waves compared to the hospital saying that half of his brain was gone. This is a huge plus for Akili. This is the latest on Mr.Gray and I will continue to keep you updated on his condition.

How much more different is the GED testing compared to if I actually...?
Q. Now that I am of legal age I will be able to complete highschool. It seems odd that I have not been given much support from family. Anyways. My question is, How much more different is the GED testing compared to if I actually go back and receive my Diploma from a highschool? I want to do this the right way, so that way i will be accepted to a good University. And also, I really do want to stay home, but since that wont happen, may you be able to provide me with some information on some kind of financial stability, like money use? Bills? Reant? I just would really appreciate updated information, if possible. Facts are also important. I really appreciate any information, thank you! I live in Fredericksburg, Texas. And also, I found out… [cont.]

A. if u actually can go to a high school and finish that way it is the better way. how much did u actually finish before you dropped out or whatever? if u dont have that many courses to take, well even if you do, go to a real high school and get the real diploma. i mean yes a ged diploma is technically equivalent to a regular diploma u get from going to high school, but really when it comes to going to a university or whatever kind of post secondary, it can be more difficult to get in to. because with a ged diploma, the weighing is different, you get some kind of score or something like that which not all university or colledges accept, or theyre scores that you need to get in are too high. and the ged diploma is the lower class of the… [cont.]

What kind of Texas snake travels in pairs with its head held high up in the air?
Q. My mom, who grew up in Fredericksburg, Tx, has always told me that when she was a little girl she once spotted a pair of snakes like nothing she'd ever seen before. They were enormous, several feet long. But the really bizarre thing about them was how they moved. There were two of them, and as they moved they held at least half of their bodies pointed straight up into the air, so that it looked like they were standing up. She also said that as they slithered - and they moved pretty darn fast - they swung their heads in circles so that they looked like lassos. She told me she'd always wondered what kind they were but she never found out for sure. And now, just recently, a friend of hers has emailed her photos of the exact snakes she… [cont.]

A. Under typical circumstances, snakes don't travel in pairs... but during breeding season, there's ritual combat and courtship behaviors that could be described as you have described... BUT Without a description of the snakes themselves, there's no way we can help... can't really make an I.D. just from behaviors...
