1.) Evidence locker or used for sting operations, burned, or generally disposed of. All depends on which state and who confiscates them.
2.) the reflection of the water from the sun, thus why it is only blue during the day.

Don't want to be rude but this is false :S
As a photographer I studied light sources and basically everything I need to know about the sky.
But here are some info from my coursework from last year:
The blue colour of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.
However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.
As you look closer to the horizon, the sky appears much paler in colour. To reach you, the scattered blue light must pass through more air. Some of it gets scattered away again in other directions. Less blue light reaches your eyes. The colour of the sky near the horizon appears paler or white.
But a simple way of putting it is: That the gasses in the sky are not fully transparent and the have a blue tint do them :S

What? i don't care if I'm corrected, that is a way to learn. lol

If you removed the core 3 things would happen. First if you jumped you would keep going up out of the atmosphere. Second you would freeze to death. Third if you can get past the other 2 you would be stuck in the center if gravity was still there. What novea said about the zero gravity thing, unless you could use the gravity to rocket your self around it, because as you get close to the core the force increases (i think) and you could pick up enough speed to be lunched through it and maybe really high up in the air.

You'd eventually starve to death on the way to China (If you're jumping from America)
This made me laugh, TY Killer!!
You would be crushed to death from the pressure.

But zero gravity is zero acceleration, not zero movement...
You would fly straight through the center at a high speed and then slow down as you reach the other side of the world, until you pop out the other side and begin to fall back down.
I've read bottled water that does. But you must remember all the tons of chemicals placed into your water including fluoride. The only way to really get away from all those chemicals is to get vapor or steam distilled water, or reverse osmosis water. So this expiration date might just be when all their chemicals go bad I would assume.
Flys are just dumb and are in an infinite brain loop and can't remember the last time they flew into it and didn't reach their escape.
Does a coma feel like anything? Does it possibly feel like sleep in a long term dream? or is the brain just completely asleep to the point that you do not feel or dream at all? Would anyone remember what a coma felt like? or is the part of their brain that remembers so gone that they would have no memories? hmm ponder ponder ponder. . .

Einsteins theory of relativity states that what we perceive as gravity is the center curvature of the space continuum. So therefore removing the core would not remove gravity. Being at the center of the earth, our body's would not be able to withstand that amount of gravity and would most likely be crushed. Now pretending that our bodys can withstand this, Now upon the speed of which you are moving through the space time continuum, (the faster the speed of which you are moving you would be slowing down time to the observer).
So would you be able to make it out "fast" enough before you body gets crushed is the real question?
If I was in space without any gear/suit, will I get burned, Frozen or explode?
How come it took 65 million years for us to discover modern technology and not anytime earlier?
If time traveling was to be invented now? Doesn't it mean it existed before?

You wouldn't survive a single second in space without a suit. The space is virtually a vacuum, no air and you will be blasted apart as your body will try to equalise the pressure. Assuming this won't happen it depends on if you are visible to the sun or not, if you are behind a planet lets say, you will probably freeze to death however if you are in line of sight you will probably burn to death, either way, it's not fun
(Note don't quote me on this as I'm just using my general science knowledge).How come it took 65 million years for us to discover modern technology and not anytime earlier?
Just because it takes time to understand and create things. Scientific experiments can last several years, even tens of years. It's a slow process and difficult to perfect. (I'll give you an example I just recently found out, WD-40 is named as it is "water-displacement" and it took the inventor 40 tries to perfect it).

Anything invented always existed we just haven't found it yet. IMO time travel is impossible, you would need to virtually travel faster than the speed of light and alter space time!
False I believe? I've actually been reading up about this recently, watching videos and even speaking to my physics teacher. Every single object in the universe which has mass will have gravity therefore there will still be gravity at the centre. You will accelerate towards the middle, once you hit it gravity will act in the opposite direction (still towards the centre of an object) but you would decelerate and come to a stop at the other end, assuming you don't jump out this will carry on happening but a human won't survive such a journey.
I still haven't taken into account the Coriolis effect which could mean due to the Earth's rotational spin you would spin with it and slam into the side but then again the inertia of you would be the same as the Earth so you would spin with it. Sorry I can't give a more definitive answer, even my physics teacher became a little uncertain at this point.
