10-4. Just came back to argue for fulgurite, or at least lightning. I meant to add lightning but got distracted. While lightning is electric and can occur in storms (both already in your list), storms are not necessary and lightning emits x-rays, EMP's, and possibly (according to recent research) gamma rays which is not the case for all electric phenomena. Off to do some gaming and ponder your list & criteria.

Roger; glad to help. I would argue that mollusk shell is not like bone insomuch as bone is not solid, it entraps cells, and has collagen as a constituent, whereas a mollusk's shell is solid, does not entrap cells, and has no collagen. As to chlorophyll, it also occurs in algae which have no leaves, xylem, or phloem. Another adjective: Cracked, as in dried mud, faults, etcetera.

Maybe I'd eat that if it was green; then it would be in line with you are what you eat.

No; it's not really any further out than what you propose here. Having read the first 5 or 6 of his/their books to humor a friend, I'm up on what 'they' are purported to be doing. Yet another grand load of douchebaggery for the gullible and addled mind.

Man of science? By saying you're not trying to link yourself you are in effect linking yourself. Yet another example of the obtuseness that you let pass for critical thinking. (Or at least that's the communication that I just channeled from Kryon.)

In other words, if one is looking to use science. So it is. Other terms that come to mind: guff, hogwash, rot, hokum, meaninglessness, nonsense, nonsensicality, drivel, and garbage to name just a few. I must say I do quite dislike the idea of writing voluminously and yet saying nothing of import. I define it as ghyliphymentotpentweutlle. PS I'm an old man myself and if I hear that condition used one more time as an excuse and/or reason to carry on with such amphigory posing as sensibility that we see here, I think I shall blow chunks.

And we have told you that we're not qualified to answer so stop asking. If your brother can hear then his inner ears aren't destroyed. We may just as well speculate that a succubus can suffocate a sleeping person as destroyed inner ears.

If an EMP causes the honeycomb pattern damage in brains, then it seems reasonable that people struck by lightning ought to exhibit the same symptom. Do they? I think not. Once again we can safely put away our tin foil hats.

Where 'speed' is a measure of the rate of motion then yes, both representations are speed. The choice of which representation to apply depends on the circumstances of utility as the examples given demonstrate. Saying 'the inverse of speed is speed' is a semantic issue, not a mathematical one.

Actually, it's a very old measure based on doubling. Writing in Reading the Numbers, Mary Blocksma gives the following scale. The smallest measure is the ancient Egyptian Mouthful; presumably the Pharoh's mouth. Then: 2 Mouthfuls = a Jigger 2 Jiggers = a Jack 2 Jacks= a Jill 2 Jills = a cup 2 Cups = a Pint 2 Pints = a Quart 2 Quarts = a Pottle 2 Pottles = a Gallon 2 Gallons = a Peck 2 Pecks = a Pail 2 Pails = a Bushel 2 Bushels = a Strike 2 Strikes = a Coomb 2 Coombs = a Cask 2 Casks = a Barrel 2 Barrels = a Hogshead 2 Hogshead = a Pipe (other sources give the Butt as 2 Hogsheads) 2 Pipes = a Tun PS Please forgive my pedantic digression.

Consult a medical professional before you brother suffocates in his sleep.

When Keith said "a room which has been designed to maximize solar gain" I presumed there was direct sunlight. As to your shallow pool and Keith's setup I still think experimentation would deliver the quickest answer(s) given all the complex variables involved.

Again, that has to do with infants and you said your brother was 15. If he was going to suffocate in his sleep he would have already done so. Consult a doctor and stop the dissembling.

Nice use of self reference! A pottle of ale for you.

Exactly! +1 Consulting forums on medical questions is a monumental and suffocating waste of everyone's time.

So Keith asked; "Is it beneficial to take the top cover off during the heating cycle while the room temperature is higher than the water temperature?" If you wanted to shorten the heating cycle, i.e. the time the electric water heater runs, then I think the black material should be on the bottom of the pool & not the top while the pool was in direct sunlight. I think experimentation would be the best way to test your setup what with the varying heat conductance by material type and thickness of the cover. Then too, the air gains and loses heat faster than the water so a black top cover -it seems to me- would mostly serve to heat the air.

Try a web search of this thread's title.

Certainly that could burst the ear drums, but the inner ear has a lot of parts and 'destroy' is a rather complete operation particularly in comparison to the damage mentioned in the one article Lisa linked to about SIDS. Have you any evidence that burst ear drums cause suffocation? Moreover that one article is about infants and 'person' as used in the title is a rather vague delineator. The other article does not involve suffocation and in fact says "Disturbances in cardiovascular and respiratory regulation are only prominent in patients in the acute phase of peripheral vestibular dysfunction, and dissipate rapidly as compensation occurs." source As it is, I think it's incumbent on Lisa to clarify the issues. . Your edit pavelcherepan makes no mention of suffocation.

Damage is one thing, but what would destroy a person's inner ear? The devil is in the details.

Cut to the chase and take your concerns to the water department.
