Why do planets and stars have a tendency to assume a disc-like configuration?

Galaxies and solar systems tend to have a disc-like configuration. That is, the orbiting planets (in a solar sytem) and stars (in a galaxy) predominantly revolve around the center on a single plane. Why?
Clarification….why do they revolve in a single plane (to form a disc) instead of randomly in all directions (to from a sphere)?

NEed Fast Help!! In Legend of Zelda Twilight PRincess, I am in the City of the sky?

I am in the Center room on the 3rd floor, the one with the big fan. I need to know how to get the wind generators on and how to get the Big KEy. Thanks

Space’s true identity?

I am starting to believe my own theory that behind the curve of space. Space is a non-conforming or free-forming magnetized mass of energy. Pulling all of space toward the center of the curve. Almost as if light is traveling so fast the very orgin of it has shifted toward it’s present destination.

The great black doors slammed shut as Rizaran walked in. His brother Gricazin stood in the center of the room playing with a card in his hand. The light fell across the room in a ghostly manner. Dark jagged walls and tiled floors hissed as a great evil blew through the air
“You’re slightly late my brother,” Gricazin spoke between his teeth. He slipped the card into his holster that hung off his belt.
“I apologize,” Rizaran whispered mockingly.
“You never apologize.”
“I know,” Rizaran smiled. He moved swiftly over to the chair at the head of the room and sat down. “Shall we discuss the business you have?” Gricazin rolled his eyes, but moved his heavily clothed body of robes to the head of the room, where he to sat down at a chair.
“Our plan is moving along. Slowly, we have come to possess the twelve stones of Arune; their powers are now ours. I have secured them in a room underneath this lair in which only a selected two may enter.”
Rizaran smiled. “Us.”
Gricazin nodded. “I have also located Jason Deran, the wielder of flames himself and the current possessor of another powerful artifact.”
“The necklace of Tamaris.”
“You know you’re information. I will give you that brother. We realized earlier he would be a threat. You know of his history correct?”
“I do,” answered Rizaran. “His father, who he did not know, was a wizard…but perhaps even more important…his father was a descendant of Arune. Jason does not realize this. Anyhow, Jason Deran began engaging in matches at a very young age. He is nineteen now. He has not appeared on any map for two years. At age sixteen through seventeen he hit the tournament world hard and fast. He left everyone speechless. None the less, his experience is the reason why. People should have seen it coming.”
“Yes,” Gricazin agreed, “for it was in younger years that he battled ruthlessly underground against the outlaws. He went up against the leader of the Haunets, a complicated and powerful group of earth wielders. Jason Deran has fought numerous beings from the realm underneath us. There is no limit to which he has competed. Jason has even fought ancestors of ours. He knows a lot. He knows more than he pretends to.”
“You forget that Mr. Deran was also trained by Jerald Deran, a man much like himself.”
“No Jerald was better than Jason. He will always be better than Jason.”
“If you say so,” Rizaran responded. “So where can we find our nonexistent friend.”
“He is staying with Uranijin, the old wizard who lives in the world outside of ours,” Gricazin answered. “But he is not our only threat.”
“What?”
“That my exact word when I learned of another.”
“Who is he?”
“Tyler Rammings.”
“You mean the spoiled rich bastard?”
“I did not want to believe it to be true either,” spoke Gricazin.
“But how?” demanded Rizaran. “How can he be any good? Are you sure his opponents are not paid off? Opponents are paid off. The damn committee decides who wins what today. So how can he be a true wielder of fire?”
“What you say about being paid off is true but Tyler put an end to it last year when he came onto the scene. Deviously, he took a bribe to lose, but in the end stuck it to the guy who was supposed to win. That ended everything. But he is good. He beat Grenile, the most powerful wielder of water.”
“Oh…I remember now.”
“Yes,” Gricazin agreed.
“But still the guy is rich.”
“But he has great beliefs and values. His money does not alter who he is.”
There was a long pause.
“He too was trained by Jerald Deran.”
“What?” Rizaran stood up outraged. “How? When? What? How does he have connections to him?”
Gricazin shook his head. “I have yet to figure that out.”
Gricazin stood and walked over to Rizaran who had walked halfway across the room in anger. “This means will need a third brother.”
Rizaran looked to Gricazin. “You already know about Darin Davalin?”
“Yes,” responded Gricazin with a smile across his face. “I already know about Darin Davalin.”

What’s wrong with some people on here?

I’ve just stumbled across some pretty disturbing posts on here. One gentleman was unaware that hte Earth wasn’t the center of the solar system. Another questioned whether or not Hitler should be removed from power, and another blatantly claimed that diseases like AIDS and SARS (originating, he claims from Africa and Asia) are designed to rid the world of ‘skum’. Having entrenched myself in academia, gimpsing such views by ‘the common man’ is shocking. Is this really the way the American people think?
Okay, let me correct my awkward double-negative in the second sentence: One gentleman was unaware that the Sun is the centre of the solar system…. as for AIDS being traced to Africa, that’s true, but saying that it’s some sort of Divine punishment is just ridiculous (as I was pointing out)

Govt Center installs wind turbines

Government Center in Downtown Toledo is now operating on a new source of energy. The Ohio Building Authority, which owns Government Center, unveiled four new vertical wind turbines. The turbines are located on top of the building. The new wind turbines cost the company about 0000 to install and the payback will take about 15 years. The city is expected to save thousands of dollars in energy costs. “Currently with the 20 kilowatts that we’ll be able to produce between 000-17000 per year,” said Mark Haberman, Ohio Building authority. “So if we can double the capacity which we think we can do technologically, within the next year, year and a half, we’ll be able to save 000 per year.” The turbines have about a 30-year operating life.
