What happens to the HIV virus when the carrier eventually dies? :confused:

until then you dont get rid of it! Beside i would think the virus will remain inert (not a living thing) so might be reactivated later.

Is it possible to punch through the side window of a car? Obviously not the windscreen, but the side windows look quite thin. I've seen bears attacking cars and having great difficulty breaking them :confused:

Do dolphins know who and what they are?

I dont know what you mean but i have read reports of How doplhins communitcate and interact socially, so using that logic, i would expect them to know who and what they are . They would fend off attacks from sharks so yes they know what they are - a fish of some sort.

Dolphins aren't fish.

I meant like, do they know that they are a dolphin? Obviously not calling themselves a dolphin, because that's our word for them, but are they aware of what they are. Their life, their home, their world. I heard that they are sentient, so maybe they are self aware like us.

The last bit was a joke i forgot to put "

" or "

"

Anyway i would expect them to know what they are since they display a high level of communication, intelligence and Inter-social awareness.

More to the point, what do they taste like?

Chicken. Probably

My question is - why does most random meat taste like chicken?? ie rabbit, duck, human etc

Im guessing it is due to chicken been a major source of meat in this part of the world.

I have tried all the ones you listed except for human and i can confirm that they taste different and have unique propeties and signatures. Rabbit is usually very soft and tender, while duck is "Mouth filling" ...dunno about humans

Human tastes like monkey.

Dolphins are one of the few animals, humans included, that are self aware.
Most animals will either ignore it or respond aggressively to their own mirror image as if it was another animal. Animals that are thought to be self aware (monkeys, lesser apes, elephants and African Gray Parrots) have been seen to use mirrors to perform tasks like finding hidden objects, but not to examine themselves. Previously only chimpanzees, orangutans and gorillas have been shown to examine themselves, as shown by a dye mark test.

Studies on dophins started in 1998 at the New York Aquarium with two bottlenose dolphins. The dolphins were dye marked with circles and triangles and in 16 video-taped repetitions, each dolphin repeatedly swam directly to the mirror to investigate the place where it had been marked, often twisting and turning to expose the proper spot.

And no, dolphins aren't fish. They're Aquatic Mamals

Humans apparently taste like pork (they certainly smell like it when the flesh is burned!). To Polynesian cannibals, humans are known as long-pigs.

That makes sense really. Pig organs can be used in people so their meat is probably similar in taste.
