Can you help me think of a youtube name?
If you want your YouTube name to be easily remembered by people other than yourself, DO NOT use numbers in your account name. I would recommend not using anything that implies that you're a big fan of any particular person, you can get a lot of trolls for that and it's just not original. When it comes to actually thinking of your name, I can't really give you a name, but maybe if you have an original nickname that your friends/family call you, you could use that, or you could take your name and change it up a bit, like charlieissocoollike and Tobuscus have.
What is the difference between Egyptian cotton sheets and regular cotton sheets?
It was thought for ages that cotton was cotton and thread count was king when choosing quality sheets. That is no longer true. Consumer guidelines for buying bedding suggest that cotton from Egypt is superior to other cotton. Is this true and, if so, what is the big difference? Egyptian cottons are used to create bedding of all types from sheets to pillowcases to comforters. The long staple or long fiber of Egyptian-grown cotton means that there is more continuous fiber to use when creating threads or yarns. This yarn is smaller in diameter yet stronger than other cottons. Smaller yarn means that more threads per square inch can be use to create stronger fabric which is light in weight yet breathes well. More threads per inch mean that the thread count on the bedding label will be higher. Many buyers think that choosing high thread count sheets is the only gauge of quality. This is not true, but in the case of cotton grown in Egypt, the higher thread count means the fabric will be incredibly strong and will last for years and years. If cared for properly, Egyptian produced cotton fabric used for creating bedding products can last for decades. The hand or feel of the sheets created from Egyptian grown cotton is a bit harder than other cottons when the bedding is new. However, with every single laundering, the cotton sheets from Egyptian fibers become softer and softer. Like a fine wine, age improves the Egyptian fiber cotton bedding and, unlike many products, you will prize your Egyptian fiber sheets of cotton more and more as they age and become soft and cuddly. Cotton grown in the Egyptian fields will also produce less lint and therefore will not pill after repeated washings as some materials may do. At one time, the only way to obtain Egyptian fiber cotton sheets was to shop in high-end expensive stores. This is no longer true and most department stores and online bedding stores carry a selection of Egyptian produced cotton sheets and other bedding items for the buyer seeking this quality product. King Cotton was once the name for the cotton grown in the Deep South of the United States. This cotton has much shorter fibers or staple than the Egyptian produced cotton. Egyptian fiber is now considered the king of all cottons for its durability and luxurious feel. After all, we spend almost one-third of our lives in our beds and our bedding should be comfortable and durable. Choosing the right sheets made from the king of cotton, Egyptian produced fibers, you will experience a bed that is comfortable and cozy.
Why is spinneret used to make nylon but is not needed to make cotton or wool fibres?
Spinneret was the name first given to the organ of spiders, caterpillars, etc that spin a cocoon or web. These natural organs are mostly complex structures which combine several chemical precursors which solidify into the thread protein upon their combining, or on exposure to air. The spinneret for nylon is a simple hole in a metal plate through which the molten nylon filament will fall, and harden as it cools. Woolen fibres are one form of hair, a feature common to all mammals. In the case of cotton, the ripe seed is enclosed in a fluffy bundle of fibres, which when treated, are the cotton of commerce.

List three ways that static electricity can be discharged Give an example for each?
1. Increase the humidity in the room. Water is a good conductor and this will disperse the charge. 2. Touch the charged object/person to a ground. This is something that is directly connected to the ground (hence the name). 3. Use a barrier or blocking materiel that would stop static electricity from building from friction. This could be a non-conductor like cotton, rubber, or a fabric softner.

Invented the cotton buds?
Cotton swabs (British English: cotton buds) consist of a small wad of cotton wrapped around either one or both ends of a small rod, usually made of either wood, rolled paper, or plastic. They are commonly used in a variety of applications including first aid, cosmetics application, for cleaning, and arts & crafts. The cotton swab was invented by Leo Gerstenzang in the 1920s[1], who invented the product after attaching wads of cotton to toothpicks [2]. His product, which he named "Baby Gays", went on to become the most widely sold brand name, "Q-tip." The term "Q-tip" is often used as a genericized trademark for any cotton swabs.
