(Note: speEch, not speAch)\n\nThat is an "idiom".\n\nidiom, n. - A speech form or an expression of a given language that is peculiar to itself grammatically or cannot be understood from the individual meanings of its elements, as in "keep tabs on".\n\nhttp://www.factmonster.com/ipd/A0485393.html

Tears partly come from a gland that is located above your eyeball and towards your ear in each eye.  It is called the lacrimal gland.  This gland creates the water part of your tears.  It is this gland that gets activated when something irritates your eye or when you are emotionally "revved up" enough to start crying.  It is simply a system of nerves connected to the gland that cause it to start forming tears.  \n\nThere is what is called a tear film that is constantly covering your eye.  The film is not just made of water - oil and mucus are also part of the tear film.  The mucus' job is to keep the water "stuck" to the front of your eye, and the oil's job is to keep the water from evaporating off of your eye.  When people's eyes start to water excessively, the eye is only creating an excess of the watery part of that tear layer, as explained above.  Hope this helps!

Crying or weeping: Is increased lacrimation due to strong emotional stress or pain. This practice is not restricted to negative emotions; many people have been known to cry when extremely happy. In humans, emotional tears can be accompanied by reddening of the face and sobbing — cough-like, convulsive breathing, sometimes involving spasms of the whole upper body. Tears brought about by emotions have a different chemical make up than those for lubrication. \n\n\nSome claim that humour cannot or should not be explained. Author E. B. White once said that "Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but the thing dies in the process and the innards are discouraging to any but the pure scientific mind." However, attempts to do just that have been made, as follow.

"All That I Got Is You" by Ghostface Killah\n\n- silly, I know, but true!\n\nThere are a few others that get me teared up. 'Fast Car' by Tracy Chapman, 'Coat of Many Colors' by Dolly Parton, 'Independence Day' by Bruce Springsteen - all about families and/or poverty.\n\n(edit) Oh, one more - 'The Band Played Waltzing Matilda' by Eric Bogle (though I knowit in the Pogues' version)

Horrible part of American history:\n\n The Trail of Tears refers to the forced relocation of the Cherokee Native American tribe to the Western United States in 1838, which resulted in the deaths of an estimated 4,000 Cherokee Indians. In the Cherokee language, the event is called Nunna daul Isunyi—"the Trail Where We Cried."\n\nThe Trail of Tears resulted from the enforcement of the Treaty of New Echota, an agreement signed under the provisions of the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which exchanged Native American land in the East for lands west of the Mississippi River, but was never accepted by the elected tribal leadership Chief John Ross, or majority of the Cherokee people. Nevertheless, the treaty was enforced by President Martin Van Buren, who sent federal troops to round up about 17,000 Cherokees in camps before being sent to the west. Most of the deaths occurred from disease in these camps. After the initial round up, the U.S. military played a limited role in the journey itself, with the Cherokee Nation taking over supervision of most of the emigration. The Treaty of New Echota was signed by a small faction of prominent Cherokees, Major Ridge, Elias Boudinot (Buck Watie), and Stan Watie, and their followers willingly left Georgia for Oklahoma Prior to the forced removal. The signing of the Treaty entailed accepting payment from the government for their land in Georgia and relocating to Oklahoma. This touched off what is known as the "Blood Feud" between the two factions in which Elias Boudinot (Buck Watie) and Major Ridge and his son were murdered in Oklahoma after the removal of John Ross and his factions of Cherokees to Oklahoma on the Trail of Tears. This split the Cherokee Nation into two factions, the Western Cherokee's led by Major Ridge and the Eastern faction who continued to recongize Chief John Ross as the Chief of the Cherokee Nation.\n\nThe Cherokees were not the only Native Americans forced to emigrate during this era, and so the phrase "Trail of Tears" is sometimes used to refer to similar events endured by other Indian peoples, especially among the "Five Civilized Tribes." In fact, the phrase "Trail of Tears" may have originated as a description of the removal of the Choctaw nation. See Indian Removal for more details.

what i know about this issue is after building the Aswan High Dam, there is no crocodile population in Egypt except in Nasser Lake at South of Egypt. They became huge in sizes as they breed in a big artificial lake full of fish.

What is the question?...What areas/parts in Africa where there is still civil war of sometime of genocide?\n\nOf course our attention (U.S) and the UN focus should be now and should have been a long time now in the Darfur area Sudan.  There is a massive genocide taking place and we have overlooked this horrific tragedy.  George Clooney recently televised a special documentary focusing on this area and to expose the great ordeal that is happening now:\n\nThis is just a clip of an article I copied from BBC news\n"More than three million people need food aid or have fled their homes, and some 200,000 are estimated by the United Nations to have died because of the violence."\nBelow is a quota from the same article mentioned above this highlights the genesis of this war:\n"Sudan's government and the pro-government Arab militias are accused of war crimes against the region's black African population, although the UN has stopped short of calling it genocide."

The American crocodile is endangered because few were left after the initial hunting spree before they were protected.\n\nTheir range became limited by human development in their original range and human interference with their habitat areas (e.g. removal of brackish mangrove swamp).  It is suspected that certain kinds of pollution interferes with their ability to reproduce.

Apparently the only place you can stab a crocodile to kill it is in the eyes and the underarms. Everywhere else is too hard.\nSharks likely have thick skin to keep them warm in cold waters. I have heard a couple stories of people being in a boat surrounded by sharks and being able to cut the shark so that otehr sharks attacked it instead of the boat. People often eat shark. Its a lot easier to kill a shark than it is to kill a crocodile.
