Phi for All

We have an Official Jokes Thread stickied in General Discussion (and this joke is in it, too). This sub-forum is for... brain teasers... and puzzles. Things that can actually be figured out.

When I google for this, the only definition that comes up is "currently curdled". Though your description is impressive, I detect a sour note here somewhere. Is this some sort of Swedish meatbleh?

I can't help but think that lowering the AoC helps only those few young people who begin their sexually active phase earlier than most. It also seems as if pedophiles are looking for those very children. I can respect that pedophiles are not out there cruising for just any child, but I can't justify allowing even those children who may be more mature in their sexual outlook to be mentored by a pedophile. I can see where these early bloomers might resent a puritanical approach to sex, but we don't need necessarily to tip the scales even further by having a mentor who is sexually attracted to the child.

Nitric oxide forms acids in the lungs which can result in depleted oxygen in the bloodstream. Anything which produces a cyanotic effect can cause you to lose consciousness, which could be deadly. http://www.scottecatalog.com/msds.nsf/0/b927b583ca65f50585256a0a004e1b66?OpenDocument

Finally, one I got right away! That's a first.

Wicked, animal-loving, dominatrix/cheerleader = funny Reformed, former cheerleader = zzzzzzzzzzz They may be nerds, but this crowd will eat you alive if you're zzzzzzzzzzz. Ants! Honey! Woo-hoooo!

Well, it looks like AzurePhoenix is through teaching Nevermore to keep his obsessive, compulsive, broken and mangled hands to himself. Azure, release him and let the paramedics do their job now or the club will charge you to get the bloodstains out of the carpet. AzurePhoenix is a cheerleader at Abu Ghraib Arizona High School. Think of her as a cross between Kim Possible and the Marquis de Sade. Then violently throttle anything even remotely Disney and you begin to get the picture. She loves animals of all kinds (no, not you, Callipygous). She's been known to track down poachers and stake them to the top of Arizona anthills. That's why she always carries that little plastic squeezy-bear bottle of honey in a holster on her hip. Her date couldn't make it tonight. When he got to her house he accidentally stepped on her cat's tail. Fortunately, Azure's father is a policeman, so he was able to finally pull her off the poor guy and call for an ambulance... and backup. Happy Birthday, AzurePhoenix!

Too much information.

Uh-oh, you're gonna be constipated later.

This thread is open again, and will be closed permanently on Friday night (roughly 10pm GMT-7). Please wrap up your thoughts, bring forth any studies you might have found, and let's keep the hostilities minimal. Name-calling is not necessary. We need to close threads of this length eventually because they have a tendency to be bumped every three months or so by new members who haven't bothered to actually read what was already written. Then other new members feel free to bring up all the old issues again. It's a vicious cycle. Again, I want to thank all who are participating for expanding our knowledge.

To me he's well-pleased with himself. I'm talking we need EEE-vull. Like or the Mwa-ha-ha laugh

Coincidentally enough, that's just what they use to shred the prostitutes at Jack in the Box.

One serves endangered Chinese bear dishes, the other was named after Whitechapel Jack the Ripper, and features shredded prostitute sandwiches. Bet you never eat at these places again (Sayo, we really do need an evil smiley). Then again, Callipygous loves gross jokes....

Some fine acting in The Abyss as well. I really felt the panic when they had to breathe in that oxygenated fluid to equalize their lung pressure. That's my favorite of the deep ocean movies. Except I hated the end where all those V-hulled boats were sitting upright on the alien ship. Not good, not good at all. I think a good ending can make a bad flick tolerable, but a bad ending sours the best of them.

Callipygous and pariah have both been warned for flaming. Let's not have this thread degenerate into name-calling please. Is it time to close it? Has everyone said the things they need to say? Does anyone have anything new to add?

I stand (or sit, perched atop a struggling, elegant, silken-coated gazelle-like creature) corrected. Still, if they're going to key on a line or two, I'd rather they spent that time on something more entertaining, like Eccentrica Gallumbits, the triple-breasted whore of Eroticon 6. Much more fun to be sat on by her.

I enjoyed it very much. The musical number was 40's and campy and zany and set the mood just fine. Brilliant choice for Zaphod's second head, I wondered how they were going to handle that. Tickled me every time it popped up (and every time he put it back). Considering all the wealth to choose from, it was strange sometimes to see what they put the emphasis on. Since the Vogon crabby-things weren't mentioned originally, I was dismayed at the amount of resources they spent on them which could have been used elsewhere. The bit you missed in the credits was worth the wait. It's one of my favorite little asides in the books.

Guilt by association fallacy. You could discredit everyone's citations with this argument.

The richest 10% have more money than the bottom 90%. You would have to unite 90% of the people for a vote, while the richest people only have to convince 10% of the people to spend enough to squash your efforts and maintain the status quo. Don't forget that those 10% control the major media.

Was it good, did you like it, did it rock, TELL ME!

Try this: Choose your words carefully and your audience will more clearly sense your meaning. The signpost up ahead: Welcome to Pseudoscience! While I would agree that words and the things we say to ourselves and others hold a vast potential for good or ill, I think you need to post your future messages into smaller chunks. Preferably ones that don't encompass so many negatively charged concepts like reborn biblical figures, aliens, demons and government conspiracies. It paints a picture of you that probably isn't accurate, and in it, you're wearing tinfoil on your head.

Well, the government called and wants me to ban you, but if you promise to never use this phrase any more: I'll tell them something went wrong with the server and I had to let you stay.

There's nothing cool about them, but in a debate they are considered the ultimate citation, which no one can refute. See Godwin's Law.

I think anything that parents deny wholesale to their children is likely to become a focus of hostility. Humans don't like being denied anything. If I told you you can have anything except the privilege of watching a certain TV show, that's the show you're going to be the most curious about. And if I continue to deny it to you after repeated requests to watch it, eventually you will resent me. I also think most of TV is garbage. I grew up with TV but I am very picky about what I watch. I only watch maybe 4 hours a week so I choose carefully, tape the good stuff and fast forward during commercials. They mentioned 24 in the article and I love that show for its complexity, but only because a buddy buys the DVDs and loans them to me, so I watch them sans commercials and I don't have to wait a week between episodes.
