men of this time were the first to wear buttons on the right of their shirt. prior to that, they had them on the other side like women. the reason for the switch was that when you draw a sword with your right hand, you dont want it getting stuck in your shirt buttons while your enemy is stabbing you to death.

Prior to computers, models were created in clay to show what a design may look like when done for real. Being made of clay, they were natually 3 dimensional.  \nWith the advent of compuetrs, the modeling moved to the screen, but was only able to be done in two demensions.\nWith the advent of current 3D capable video cards and software, it is now possible to create compuetr models of a design in three dimensions

because we evolved to be best at surviving, so having two arms on one side would not aid survival at all. what a stupid question! you are trying to make an intelligent point but you just sound really stupid!!

lottsa water. a toilet or commode is poured in a mould using a plaster of paris base.after its set up it has a u shaped trap to keep gasses from coming out and a water basin for sitting on after the seat is installed.it also has a water cabinet to hold water for flushing. this item of your interest was implemented by the roman people centuries ago.lots better than an outhouse isnt it?no wood splinters.

It was first invented in France and in no way was it a fashion statement. In fact the tie was a piece of cloth, like a towel, which was used to wipe the mouth at the table. Over the years it became what you call today a tie and it is a fashionable item of clothing. You can buy cheap ones for a few dollars or designer ones at hundreds of dollars.

I'm not sure what a microstructure is really but I know that on softer soil or ground that often a floating concrete structure design is used, beginning in the 1880s or maybe earlier.  Because the gorund is soft, instead of driving piles down to the bedrock, they covered a large area with a steel grid and filled it with concrete, this allowed them to start building skyscrapers and larger structures.  It may be a little different today, but the floating idea was that it ballanced itseld, and heavy objects, really heavy, are placed to maintain this balance so it doesn't tilt.  Sorry if you already know all of this and it is no help, I just thought it was interesting.

Why do you ask that ? El Che was a comunist. He wanted to expand comunism over America, and he contributed to create it in Cuba

The origin of the ring was to prevent interference from outsiders! In the 1800's fans would punch fighters. See the movie far and Away with tom cruise and nicole Kidman for a portayal of this.\n\nThe square ring allowed for better viewing and safe distances.\n\nAccording to The Encyclopedia of Boxing, by Gilbert Odd, the term "boxing ring" goes back to bare-knuckle days.  Spectators held a circle of ropes around the fighters, but they were always crowding in on the action.  Eventually, they used stakes to hold the ropes, forming a square.

There are a variety of theories and no one knows for sure.   The origin I think most likely is that it came from the military.   Machine gun belts were 27 feet long, thus a target that got an entire belt of amunition would get "the whole nine yards".
