The questions-not-worth-their-own-thread question thread VIII

Roughly three weeks. However, after more than a few days you become massively less fit, so if you're thinking of a survival situation always take more food than you will ever need. Assume that you are going to starve the mealtime after you eat your last ration.

Theoretically could a fat person eat their excess flesh and survive on that?

 

[Ulyaoth]

That's what fat reserves are for. Though it won't kick in until you'd already be extremely famished and such.

And by that time you're basically dead anyway. As an experiment I once did to teach army cadets the importance of eating well on expedition (which is probably illegal now) try running for an hour and seeing how far you get, then going a day without food and trying it again. Some of them couldn't even keep up that long.

A: why?

B: maybe you've got the funny accent?

A: Nazis are wrong damnit!
B: It's like the english version of scottish, but it sounds ugly. And no, the correct swedish dialect is the dialect from Uppsala, very close to stockholm. Very far away from Scania.

Isn't it a good thing that you can't hear what nazis are speaking?

Yeah.

 

[Cutlass]

Can you blame them, honestly? People raise lawsuits for their own stupidity.

Not really, no. However the RC has come under a lot of criticism in recent years for poor management practices.

what kinds of movies do you generally like?

 

[Kerozine]

1. Can there be God without religion?
2. Can there be religion without God?
3. I am of the opinion that people in this day and age adhere to whatever creed because of the cultural/philosophical aspects of religion, and not necessarily because of.. devotion/subservience/belief (?) to some higher power. Plausible?

WHY WHY WHY do some website have search engines that suck so completely badly?!??!?!?!???!??? I try to find an article I see in the paper, and it returns 1000s of hits that are in no way related to the terms I search for, but if I type in the exact title, it's "no file found".

A friend of mine who is doing her degree in Childhood Development Disorders and wants to go into Special Education, recently informed me that she is 90% certain that I have dysgraphia.

(If I do have it school and parents really screwed me over on this, I really should sue them for being so negligent)

She tells me I seriously should get it tested. I lack health insurance to do this. What are my options? Also can I sue my elementary school?

Well, if you're in the US, you can sue anyone for anything. Regarding your options, I don't know.

I'm looking for a novel to give to a friend for Christmas. Ideally it would be either a thriller or humorous, and it has to involve math. Any suggestions?
