D, you're tapping into the zeitgeist. See link to 21 hours publication above.
I have always wished for more equilibrium in work and home time, three work days felt about right for me.
Time spent in actively exercising personal creativity and imagination can only have a beneficial effect on helping create the innovative knowledge society we strive to be.
Creating more jobs means more opportunities for people to be engaged with the economy. Fewer being left rejected at an early age through not fitting in with the all pervasive five day work ethic.
It is the inequality of employment, its connections and rewards, which are not just monetary, that creates fear among those who have a little.
Maybe now is the time to mobilise action towards it.

Thank you for posting this awesome list. Steve Spangler is a fantastic educator and teacher, and his website has been a family staple for quite some time now. Oh, and ever since we signed up for his Experiment of the Week, there's not been a boring weekend around here in MONTHS. I'll definitely check out some of your other suggestions, but I'll have to say that Steve Spangler is the greatest thing to happen to my family since, well, since we got married in the first place! I'm bookmarking your page, and thanks again.

Taking in too much oxygen can be harmful and potentially kill you.
Just breathing in the air around us it is hard, if not impossible (as I understand it) to reach a level of having too much oxygen in your body.
If you are using oxygen tanks as part of scuba equipment for example, the amount of pure oxygen you take in is regulated - as it is in hospitals, or aeroplanes, etc. This should mean that you won't experience any problems as long as the pressure on your lungs remains tolerable.
Also the more oxygen there is in the environment, the more likely it is that there will be combustion.
In general though, oxygen is essential for us. Like most things - in the right amounts, it's fine!
