IMO, pointless numbers. I only care fat percentage. So many body builders are over weight. And so many people with large bond structure that weighted tons compares to my tiny bone frame. And those numbers never take those into considerations. magicalclick

most bodybuilders are considered morbidly obese on the BMI actually.

I tend to be in the camp that thinks its BS. I went for an eye exam for halo reach... because i wanted glasses to help my game... the glasses did nothing. I still am officially 20/20 no matter how much time i spend a foot away from a computer monitor.

who cares, the hardest part is finding shirts long enough. Back in my college days i tried to wear the trendy clothes... but all the tiny people meant i had to wear belly shirts.

and im only 6'2". I can lose weight to fit into clothes, i cant lose height.

ill be more honest than everyone else here, i have a 360, i have kinect... ryse looks like it could be fun.... but im fat and lazy, and it looks difficult to play.

We are all trying for a type 2 diabetes achievement, and kinect is thwarting our plans. I think im still too hard headed to accept something that makes me less fat and is fun. The physical exertion is really the only thing holding me back. Im guessing the other thumb workout enthusiasts would agree,

i live in a suburban area... nobody hangs out at gas stations... except maybe annoying skateboarding kids.

People naturally underestimate the occurrence of chance, and when coincidental events occur by chance we search for a reason behind it, be that a paranormal force, or in the case of religion, a divine intervention. The complexity of a fully formed human simply 'occurring' is infinitesimally small, but then suggesting such negates the whole evolutionary cycle which has propelled our increased complexity.

Travel back through the evolutionary cycle, regressing to when life was first ignited and far, far simpler then the chances of occurrence are far, far higher. A similar analogy using a watch would be looking at the chance of one single component of a watch formed perfectly in nature, which although incredibly small, is a possibility.

The problem is we all try to percieve everything based on our experiences... so if you 18... its impossible to comprehend billions of years, based off 18 years without a good understanding of math and statistics.

Its kinda like buying a lottery ticket, and saying "its impossible to win the lottery, because the one time i bought a lottery ticket... i didnt win, and based on my experiences... it cant happen"

probably go around tokyo running around with my arms out making airplane noises.

I might rent a godzilla costume and march around.

Basically i would live out personal fantasies of being a giant.

All this crap can easily be explained by smarter people than myself. The problem is we base things on our perception of space time... and when it comes to the real high level science stuff... space and time are independent of our experiences. So when you say what started it all, that assumes there was a beginning of time, which again is based on the human perception of time and not the actual function of the universe... since time didnt exist before the big bang (at least not as we understand it).

I took a dive into understanding it all at one point, but it all got too trippy for me fully understand the concepts without going through all of all the math, and probably, a full degree.

But the guys that do devote their lives to this stuff seem to have a generally good understanding, so since i cant refute them on any logical basis... i just gotta take their word for it.

Houses make noises, Especially at night when the temperature is dropping and things like wood floor boards begin to contract. I hear noises all the time, if its something significant like someone could be breaking in i get out of bed and turn on the lights... its never anything.

Your imagination is running wild.

I used to have rats and squirrels hanging around outside, and they'd get in through the roof and make their way into the walls. Sometimes I could actually hear some big epic battles going on. I'd hear stuff bumping and thrashing around in the walls, I'd hear screaming and squealing. And then suddenly everything would go quiet. Sometimes after such an event, the entire house would start to stink a few days later, as the fallen rodent soldiers began to decay.

In any case, I'm glad that no visitors ever heard that. Because it's sort of hard to explain that **** in a satisfactory manner. Like, I've got a sexy lady at my place and the home erupts into this loud explosion of noise. She gets concerned and asks, "what the hell is that?!" Meanwhile I comfort her by saying, "don't worry, that's just the rats having a big battle inside the walls."

I mean, you can pass that off as ghosts, or an intruder in your home. That's dangerous and scary. Basically the only way to minimize the threat is to just flat out say that it's just a bunch of rats fighting inside the walls. And somehow, that's also sort of the WORST thing you could possibly say.

seems like the only logical solution is to buy a bunch of those plastic cocktail swords and leave them around the place and try to start an arms race... let them kill themselves off.

I would use it to pay off my mortgage.

Space would be boring... being weightless would be cool for probably all of 5 minutes... then it would be a pain in the butt to sleep (not just the weightlessness, but the solar radiation causing constant flashes), i would be groggy, tired and iratable, eating crappy liquid meals and pooping in a very awkward fashion.

Ill pass.... i get the sensation of being weightless for a couple moments on a rollercoaster, for much cheaper.
