1. ?
2. Speed up hart rate during cardiac arrest, or when your heart fails. (I watch waaaaaay too many ER/Grey's Anatomy shows)
3. False, you have to breath in and out regularly (if not irregularly, but breathing is good.) Particularly when going upwards and downwards you need to do to prevent bodily harm and dammage to your lungs. Your lungs expand can expand for instance too much, if you don't deflate your lungs when you go up. Also it helps you stay steady. And because my PADI open water instructor said so. :)

Sorry for the lateness of my post. putting up answers now

1. It was a population growth estimate showing that the small colonies would quickly grow to fill the “empty” wilderness to the west. Farmers and colonists of the age were having an average of 10 children. The colonies were experiencing a population explosion and Franklin was calculating the amount of time it would take for the colonial Americans (pre-Revolution) to fill the continent.
2. Inhibits the parasympathetic nervous system, increasing heart rate and blood pressure. (I can hear my physiology prof shooting me down for only giving the 2cnd half of that answer. I was an EMT damnit, I knew what it did. lol Oh well.) Believe it also dilates eyes as well.
3. False. --Holding your breath will cause you to rise; decreasing the pressure on your body, the gas in your lungs will expand to a point where your lungs over-inflate causing a tear in your lungs. An air embolism (bubble) can then enter the blood stream, leading to a possible stroke. This is one of two types of decompression sickness.
4. True--mathematically quantum physics says it is possible to walk through solid walls. You just have to try an almost infinite amount of times.
5. Demosthenes.
6. Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion.
7. Aces and eights. --Secret, You are on the right track; this was the hand he was holding when he was shot in the back of his head.
8. Reservoir Dogs
9. Imagineers
10. Red Crystal. (Just adopted.)
Bonus: Grizzly Man –Yep, unfortunately both people were mauled and eaten by the bear. The attack was caught on audio tape, (not featured in the movie), and interviews are conducted with people who listened to it. Crazy movie. Very good, worth watching. You can see the guy loose touch with reality the further along the movie plays. Very sad.

And by my count the beautiful jstkdn is the winner. :0)
