    *throws desk across room* I can't see the damn gifs! What am I missing!!!!!:sad:

    Picture this: A fuzzy white cat, wearing glasses and a bow tie, sits atop a desk, surrounded by various scientific accoutrements. with a black board in the background. In the foreground we read, "Two men walk into a bar. The first orders some H2O. The second says, 'Sounds good. I'll have some H2O too.' The second man dies."

    welcome.gif

    And that gif is Jack Sparrow holding out his hands and saying, "You're welcome." :tongue:

    Ok, now someone explain to me why the school server blocks the gif with educational content and allows the jack sparrow gif.
    (I know it has to do with the source, just don't understand the logic....):grumble:

    I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that some of the equations on the board behind the cat are fraught with error. It could be that the school is trying to preserve academic integrity by blocking it. As for Jack Sparrow, well.....Johnny Depp is effing adorable amirite?

    So, I got the joke about the H202 but what specifically does it make? Some type of acid?

    As an attorney, I want to congratulate the OP in using so many words to say nothing. That is a skill usually reserved for those of us with a JD. Nice work!!

    You could be on to something here, no one should be denied a healthy dose of Johnny...

    Seriously? Bro, do you even dairy math? Milk squared = cheese. Milk cubed = cottage cheese. Milk/0 = out-of-date yogurt (that I'm probably gonna still eat anyway because who the hell has time to drive all the way to the store for just yogurt. amirite?)

    I was hoping to gauge a response from those of you that find an analytical approach to a dietician’s analysis of prearranged phosphorous intake to be conducive to the actual dietary needs for most people. Specifically in regard to overincumbence of the minerals that relate to regular release function. After receiving a review from a professional and analyzing the input given i can't seem to grasp the approach as it was mentioned to me. I just struggle with straying from what has always been commonplace amongst what was always my understanding of the matter. Does anyone here have any background information or experience that would lend to this type of dietary regimen? I welcome any feedback especially any information conducive to aid in the overall understanding of such a wide ranging and changing topic.

    Thanks.

    so basically, you want to know how many calories in a slice of bacon. :huh:

    Replying to this thread is no way to gauge intelligence. I just wanted to point that out.

    Agreed. And using lots of long words doesn't make you more intelligent than people who use short words. I prefer plain English myself.

    Well I have a BS degree and I am pretty darn smart when it comes to learning other languages, or doing math, but I don't understand the OP's question so I guess I'm OH LOOK SOMETHING SHINY!!!!

    I don't know much about the role of phosphorus in the body.

    Wikipedia is a good starting place though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus

    Apparently an average adult human contains 0.7kg of phosphorus

    And also apparently if you're getting enough protein in the diet you're getting enough phosphorus. Protein itself doesn't contain phosphorus, but high protein foods are also high in phosphorus.

    The only thing I think of when I hear phosphorus in the body is my lessons on nitrogen and phosphorus cycling in aquariums.

    I explain it to my student's this way:
    Lipids and Carbohydrates = Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen
    Proteins = add Nitrogen
    Nucleic Acids = add Phosphorus

    So when it comes to elemental composition of the body it goes Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen (calcium cause bones) then Phosphorus. So yea, VERY important, every single cell in every single organism requires it, but that also means that every single food you eat is going to have some, so generally, not an element you need to worry about getting enough of....

    Aaaaand, I just nerded out on that, sorry.

    That makes sense :) thanks for explaining :)

    hahahaha. nice. reminds me of a fave limerick:

    little Tommy took a drink
    but he will drink no more
    for what he thought was H2O
    was H2SO4

    I used to do this demonstration with my chem classes:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqDHwd9rG0s

    Really brings home the point, just cause it LOOKS like water, doesn't mean it IS water. It really is scary how many kids will just walk up and try to touch or taste something out of a beaker because the THINK they know what it is......

    They're probably like me-- a little too trusting.

    A couple of weeks ago my boss handed me something and said "eat this and tell me if you can tell what's in it-- it's something weird." I didn't even hesitate. As I was chewing I thought "this probably isn't a good way to be."


    It was chocolate with bacon in it.

    Hey from an evolutionary standpoint, being willing to try new things can be advantageous..... or very much not so..... looks like it worked well for you, this time.

    if you have a whole tribe of Homo erectus people, and they find a new kind of berry or fungus and don't know if it's safe to eat, ..... one of them who's the most adventurous/impulsive/trusting tries it first, then if he drops dead the others don't eat it and the group survives

    therefore this trait remains in the population in spite of it's potential detriment to the individual, because it increases the population's chance of survival

    Hang on, I just need to look up "overincumbence" in the dictionary.....

    google 'overincumbence' and you get one result :laugh:

    Okay, folks, I'm sitting here in my very quiet, serious office, hiding my face behind a handful of papers so my co-workers can't see me cracking up! OMG you all made my day! But I have to say this reply takes the cake. Google it. Please! (Yeah, I'm a nerd and actually Googled it and about peed my pants!)

    I'm thinking OP parsed something through a gobbledegook generator.

    Lets see if we can't translate it back to regular English?
    I was hoping to gauge a response from those of you that find an analytical approach to a dietician’s analysis of prearranged phosphorous intake to be conducive to the actual dietary needs for most people.
    Do any of you know how much phosphorous I need?
    Specifically in regard to overincumbence of the minerals that relate to regular release function.
    How much should I eat?
    After receiving a review from a professional and analyzing the input given i can't seem to grasp the approach as it was mentioned to me.
    I got a report from my dietician and it doesn't make sense.
    I just struggle with straying from what has always been commonplace amongst what was always my understanding of the matter.
    No, seriously, it doesn't make sense.
    Does anyone here have any background information or experience that would lend to this type of dietary regimen?
    Anyone know what I should do?
    I welcome any feedback especially any information conducive to aid in the overall understanding of such a wide ranging and changing topic.
    This is really confusing! Please help!
    Thanks.
    Thanks.

    Also, with social interaction and game theory, if the individual does survive, they could potentially reap social benefits, and if they don't survive, they have at least increase the likelihood of survival for family members who carry at least some of the same genes.
