IHey, whats the nutritional value in blood for a human anyway? lol

I read an article once that said you would need to consume the blood of six average humans each day to survive on that alone.

Then you would have problems from lack of nutrients and vitamins, poisoning and infections etc, etc.

You may have problems with trying to arrest him...

...considering he is a fictional character

It's not justifiable at all. Whether or not she liked it' date=' life is growing inside her. What she should do is give birth to the child, and if she doesn't want to keep it, then she should give it up for adoption, that way, the child will live and a precious life is not lost.[/quote']

 

Life is growing inside us all, from tapeworms to nematodes to pathogens. What is the difference between killing these and killing a much smaller ball of cells?

Maybe it would be more appropriate to have: "In money we trust".

It would be less offensive and make a lot more sense.

On my country's currency we have our monarch, promising 'to pay the bearer on demmand the sum of' whats on the note.

Although I believe in democracy I don't make a big deal out of it because in the end it's just money.

However if you seriously want your country to change what's written on its bills, why don't you lobby for useful information such as maps or periodic tables to be printed on one side of each note. It would improve the learning, and general intelligence of the population.

Nice film. Quite an eye-opener and also funny at parts as well, especially the 'war on anxiety'.

If their point was that America's relationship with China has been bad for both countries, then it's an excellent demonstration of ignorance.

I think the point was that America's relationship with China has been very good for China at America's expense.

The clangers have a moon-base.

That's no moon...

the wombles only have an underground layer.

And a full military

the telly-tubbies are gay.

but they do have head mounted lasers

To the OP:

England and Sebia, as those are my parents nationalities.

I think England have got a chance, as always, but I'd be very surprised if they don't go out before the semis (as always).

As for Serbia:

Group C

Argentina

Netherlands

Ivory Coast

Serbia

I'd assume they meant 3.2 billion. That sounds about to right to me - roughly half the world watching at least one game.

Hmm let me think...

Yeah, that's a tough one

Hapner is undoubtedly taking a great risk with his latest study, but the maverick scientist is confident his work will pay off.

 

"Bombarding a plutonium nucleus with accelerated electrons, long believed to produce a nuclear fission reaction, has, in fact, no consequence at all," Hapner said. "I'm going to prove that if it's the last thing I ever do."

Hilarious:D

1) Fight Club - This movie sums up my philosophy perfectly. Given the chance I wouldn't change a thing about it.

2) Memento - One of the most original films I have seen. Very insightful into the workings of the mind, plus the best twist in any movie I have seen.

3) Pulp fiction - Classic Tarantino action.

4) The Big Lebowski - Hilarious film. I can watch it again and again and I know it will be good.

5) Apocalypse Now - Epic film. Realy showed the madness of the whole war.

6) Sin City - Great storylines + the most stylish movie ever.

7) Gladiator - Brilliant fight scenes, great storyline, and an accurate portrayal of ancient Rome.

8) Blade Runner - One of the best sci-fi movies ever.

9) The Matrix - Although it 'borrowed' a whole lot of ideas, I've must have watched it more times than any other film.

10) Rat race - Nothing has ever made me laugh as hard as the sequence with the Jewish family in Hitler's car.

'It's all in proportion'

Somehow I managed to stumble across the website of one 'MC Hawking' - a rapper who likes to rap about science.

If you think I'm making this up then just read the (somewhat hilarious) lyrics to his song about entropy:

Verse 1

Entropy, how can I explain it? I'll take it frame by frame it,

to have you all jumping, shouting saying it.

Let's just say that it's a measure of disorder,

in a system that is closed, like with a border.

It's sorta, like a, well a measurement of randomness,

proposed in 1850 by a German, but wait I digress.

"What the **** is entropy?", I here the people still exclaiming,

it seems I gotta start the explaining.

 

You ever drop an egg and on the floor you see it break?

You go and get a mop so you can clean up your mistake.

But did you ever stop to ponder why we know it's true,

if you drop a broken egg you will not get an egg that's new.

 

That's entropy or E-N-T-R-O to the P to the Y,

the reason why the sun will one day all burn out and die.

Order from disorder is a scientific rarity,

allow me to explain it with a little bit more clarity.

Did I say rarity? I meant impossibility,

at least in a closed system there will always be more entropy.

That's entropy and I hope that you're all down with it,

if you are here's your membership.

 

Chorus

You down with entropy?

Yeah, you know me! (x3)

Who's down with entropy?

Every last homey!

 

Verse 2

Defining entropy as disorder's not complete,

'cause disorder as a definition doesn't cover heat.

So my first definition I would now like to withdraw,

and offer one that fits thermodynamics second law.

First we need to understand that entropy is energy,

energy that can't be used to state it more specifically.

In a closed system entropy always goes up,

that's the second law, now you know what's up.

 

You can't win, you can't break even, you can't leave the game,

'cause entropy will take it all 'though it seems a shame.

The second law, as we now know, is quite clear to state,

that entropy must increase and not dissipate.

 

Creationists always try to use the second law,

to disprove evolution, but their theory has a flaw.

The second law is quite precise about where it applies,

only in a closed system must the entropy count rise.

The earth's not a closed system' it's powered by the sun,

so **** the damn creationists, Doomsday get my gun!

That, in a nutshell, is what entropy's about,

you're now down with a discount.

So far I have been unable to find an audio file, but if you want to read more lyrics from such classics as 'E=mc Hawking', 'F*ck the creationists' and the somewhat less science related 'All my shootin's be drive-bys', then go to http://mchawking.com

Seriously I can't make this stuff up

The first link that came up was for a webpage with my name on (I mean me personally)

The next link was for my cousin.

All the rest were mis-spellings

The one with the labyrinth and the exorcist is worse. Look at this kid getting scared:

Rising up to the challenge of our rivals

But to the OP:

I voted 'crap' because I assumed the question was 'do you think rap is crap?', rather than a rap lover asking people if they listened to rap or other genres, which he would dub 'crap'.

Because they had realy tiny hands.

Organisms that require more complicated movements from their appendages will have to develop larger brains to increase co-ordination. Big dinosaurs only realy had to worry about eating things. Little dinosaurs didn't have large enough brains.

That's my take on the matter anyway

Marry the nerd.

But don't get married til later life, when everyones' looks have gone.

In the labs at my school there are 'hazcards' which give details of all the safety hazards of the chemicals we use, along with what dangerous reactions they take part in.

Are there any websites which have this kind of information?

Any help much appreciated

(m17) I'm fairly happy with the way the law is in my country at the moment. (Abortions allowed up until 6 months in pregnancy unless mothers life is endangered.)

I do not define "human" as having a certain set of chromosomes that are capable of reproducing with another certain set of chromosomes.

If this were the definition of human and your argument is that a human life or something which had the potential to become a human life received lawful rights, then surely if I plucked out a hair from my head that would be allowed human rights.

After all it contains human genetic information, from which it would be possible to sequence the order of bases, reproduce them and insert them into an empty nucleus, from which you could grow a human.

Of course you would need a lot of equipment, and the hair would not turn into a human on its own. However an embryo quite similarly will not grow on its own. It requires a womb with a blood supply to receive oxygen and nutrients.

The hair and the embryo both have the potential to become human, but that should not grant them any special priveleges.

My answers, in no particular order:

1) Use a see-saw. Stand on one end and fill the other end with small objects that weigh less than 5kg. When the see-saw balances, take the weights off and weigh them invidually on the scale then add them up to get your mass.

2) Hang yourself from a device that measures force. Read off the force and divide it by gravity to get your mass.

3) Take your kitchen scale on a space ship and land on a low gravity planet. Weigh yourself then divide by the planets gravitational field and multiply by Earth's.

4) Find a group of weight lifters and ask them to bench press you. If one of them only just manages to do it ask him what his max lift is = your mass.

You could also use fluid displacement as others have said.

It worked for me
