The absurdities of Q7 and 10; gossipers cannot change. Let there be any quantum of water. How will it be dried?. Matter cannot be destroyed as zero. Then it has to go in gas or solid state. . Again those states cannot stay as such with physics involved. so what goes up shall come down. What is one state will change the shape and character. So even presumption must be scientific. Water was nature. So never it can be dried up at all. Q10 Aking is a king. After all the animals the compiler says are going around many calling them as celebrities today and cry as if mad max, will not people of those would have revolved around the Kings?. Why the medieval ancient etc adjectives? KR IRS 24922
