Left handed people also make more money.

 

[Forty-Two]

Isn't it something like $2,000 more each year?

Right-handed people live several years longer.

 

[cardgame]

left-handers are serial killers, so I'll take $2000 less over that any day.

Serial killers also usually have IQs in the 'bright' range.

Being tall makes you earn more money. Like being male. Society's like that.

Fudge society.

Ok, so I'm pretty tall but I don't want to be, so I thought that trying to stunt my growth would be a good idea. This website said that eating lots of carbs stunts your growth, and since bread has lots of carbs I'm going to eat a ton of bread from now on. What other food is chock-full of carbs?

Being tall is good.

 

[spryllino]

A lack of protein stunts growth, I expect. So eating bread as a substitute for meat, for instance, while being somewhat unwise in my opinion, probably would stunt your growth.

Yesterday I noticed a strange thing: I was looking at a cloud whch was sort of moving around. Then the bottom of the cloud sort of started to bulge down and then it got really narrow and went down. It didnt touch the ground though it looked like it was going to. What is this?

Heres a quick sketch I made in Paint:

 

[Forty-Two]

Maybe it was on the horizon and it just looked like it was going to touch the ground?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

It was something like a quarter-mile or a half-mile (Im bad at estimating distances) away. Either ways it went down and then after a minute or two it just disappeared.

 

[madviking]

A tornado...?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I thought tornados had to touch the ground.

 

[Turner]

Not necessarily.

Clouds do funny things. That's why they're clouds.

It looked like the first picture except it was a lot smaller and not as dark.

Is this really important...?

The evoloution of the elephant?

 

[cardgame]

Probably a tornado that didn't touch down.

Was it attached to a storm? If so, then you've got yourself a classic funnel cloud.

If it wasn't, then it could have just been a cold air funnel (check cardgame's link).
