The longer a franchise continues, the more people will turn from fans to haters.

Does this look true to you? It does for the series that I follow

I can tell you one thing, it doesn't have to do with the skill of the "detective".

For the initial question I'm not completely sure, probably also varies from country to country. My knowledge of US law is based on Boston Legal and Law&Order, but what I figured from that, is that you can't charge two people with the same crime - unless they commited it together or something. Which one could very well assume when there are twins involved.

Someone should probably be able to solve this with a little googling, or better founded law knowledge

And your point is?

Of course you can charge more than one person for the same crime, happens all the time. After all, there could be multiple suspects. Twins are no exception.

Does it happen a lot, really? Because I can't recall a single case in the past years where I heard of something like that, except it's something drug/gang related or similar stuff of course. Ruling out suspects should be the polices job after all.

Still, you're right. As I said, my law knowledge is very limited and I apparently mixed up a few things, I was thinking of the double jeopardy clause, which of course only applies AFTER someone has been convicted.

MeoTwister5 · 2012-09-07, 22:06

Identical twins are, for all intents and purposes, 100% DNA identical sans any somatic mutations over the course of their lives.

However now they're trying to implement what is called antigenic typing based on an individual's HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen). While identical twins have pretty much identical DNA, their antigenic distribution as a result of some degree of randomization of surface antigen and glycoprotein molecules during the maturation of human lymphocytes which develops in childhood and remains more or less the same in adulthood.

So in essence this antigen typing is unique per individual due to the random aspect, which is why no two people are a perfect HLA match. Twins are the closest HLA match because the genetic code behind their surface proteins are more similar, but still not a perfect match.

Let's take a bank robbery for example. If multiple people are seen fleeing the scene, the police could arrest them all and charge them for the same crime. And they could theoretically all be convicted for the same crime, if they all took part in it. They'll often get different sentences for it, though, depending on the amount of participation and their precise role in the crime.

Or acquitted, though this depends on the country you refer to. Where I come from, prosecution could appeal to an acquittal if they believe they have sufficient new evidence to re-trial you.

can someone learn to speak japanese fluently without knowing how to write at all?

dragon4dudes · 2012-09-09, 02:52

It might be, but difficult. In general, being able to read and write a language allows you to see sentence structure and practice associating the word(s) with what the word(s) represent. By writing a character or word, you can consciously repeat the word to yourself. Psychologically, it's easy to remember something when there are multiple stimuli associated with it.

I would say so, yes. Though at the very least learning Romaji is a good idea.

That said, by not learning the moon runes, you are cutting yourself off a bit. Going to Japan without being able to read signposts, or labels on food is probably... difficult.

But illiterate people have been learning to speak new languages for centuries so...

I'm trying to figure out how much force is required to cause traumatic nail avulsion (toenail) on the average man...
I can't find any source that gives a number, but I was wondering if anyone here knew a source?

Seitsuki · 2012-09-11, 18:34

For obvious reasons I don't think they've done many tests on that, much less tests which would give exact values. Not the sort of research you'd want to publish either..

Does anyone know if there's a verb for the act of 'turning your head away with a harumph'? Kinda like going 'tsun', but instead of lifting your head you turn your head. Or just spin right around. If that makes sense.

dragon4dudes · 2012-09-12, 00:17

Scoff? I'm not sure. I understand what you're asking, but I can't think of a single word.

Question:
Berserk, the Manga is now bringing out a trilogy of films. Do the films continue after the anime or from the start of the Manga?

Sorry for the poorly worded question

brocko · 2012-09-15, 18:50

The films starts predominantly where the anime begins, although skipping over some of the main characters back story about how he grew up. It's like watching the anime again to be honest.
To be exact, it begins in the Golden Age arc of the series. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berserk_%28manga%29

It goes like this: tan tan tan tan tan tan tan tan tan tan tan tan tan tan tan...

Anyone know the name?

It's perfectly possible that the artist's penis does indeed look like that. Of course a lot of hentai contains exaggerated sizes in order to cater to weird kinks. Penises are of course not nearly as big as you usually find in Hentai.
