What living things can be divided in half and both halves still live?
Q. I am not talking about a-sexual reproduction like bacteria dividing in two intentionally. For example, I have read that there are some small species of worms (not night crawlers) that can be cut in half and have both sides live on. Does anyone know of anything similar?

A. You're thinking of Planaria, a kind of flatworm. There are other things that can be cut to pieces and live on, though. You can do it to lots of plants, for instance. You can do it to sponges.

Where are people going to live when rent keeps going up?
Q. I live in Northern Virginia and probably one the most expensive places to live. I am a college student and think about my future a lot once I graduate. The thing is where are people going to live in the next 3-4 years from now when apartment rent, house market value, and other things just keep going up? Lately I've been hearing about foreclosures and the house market plummeting. What about the low-income families? Does anyone think about this? I know I am not the only one. Many you might say go to the politics and government sections but I thought I post my comment in this section. Can I get some feedback please. Thanks a lot.

A. Yes-we live in a high cost area. I am about 2 hours from DC and we are a satellite local for commuters-houses are selling RIGHT now for $199,000 for a 15,000 sq ft 3 bed 2 bath. We have a good bit of folks who commute to DC from our area. And rent is high in the area too. As for the poor-honestly no one thinks about it because it is too depressing to admit many families live in poor conditions and that means kids too. I worked in social services foryears and in public housing. I worked with a lot of nice families who live pay check to pay check and will likely never get out of that. Buying a house today is a luxury that sadly not everyone will get and some people who never should have gotten a loan did and they are caught in this… [cont.]

How can you make your hamster live longer?
Q. I have a white Syrian hamster with no health problems. She's about 7 months old. How long more do you think she can live? I love her a lot and I'd hate to see her die soon. I wanted to know how to make her live longer like the stories I've read of some hamsters living to 5-8 years. Please help?

A. That's so wonderful how much you love your hamster. We've had 3 hamsters. Our first hamster a Syrian named Speedy lived 3 1/2 years. Our second hamster a Robo lived to be 3 years old. Of course I wished they lived longer, but I have to say they had wonderful lives. I think the best way to ensure your hamster has a long healthy life is to feed it a healthy diet - ensure they get fresh fruits and vegetables in additions to their regular food. Give your hamster a lot of play time and interaction time with you. I'm convinced hamsters love the attention (at least all my hamsters have). Keep a clean cage and ensure they always have fresh water. Also, make sure you're using a quality bedding like Carefresh - it will prevent respiratory and other… [cont.]
