    Define loosing.
    Why does no one mention volume and density when comparing the weights of fat and muscle?
    Why does every discussion on this page devolve into desperate pleas for validation and affirmation?
    Why does it burn when I pee?

    1. losing typed too quickly or with a neurological defect
    2. because average people are incapable of grasping the abstract
    3. because real life sucks
    4. short ureters can cause more frequent bladder infections...

    If a bro falls in the woods due to failing at a 700 pound squat and nobody is around, does he make a sound?

    can't he hear it? or is the guy squatting, nobody?

    "sound" means a living ear was able to hear it, so no. Though it does produce the pressure waves capable of being interpreted by animals as sound.

    If we all adopt the practice of teaching a man to fish, instead of giving him a fish, and he has no where to fish, can we send him to your pond?

    my pond can support about 6 anglers, and my family is bigger than that...

    If anyone actually asks something though, I am not responsible for how the sarcastic reply will make you feel...

    What does the fox say?

    "say" implies a language. Foxes typically communicate via squeals, barks, facial expressions, and with their tail positions and movements.

    And by peeing on things. Don't forget peeing on things.

    Can I get pregnant if I do it standing up?

    And by "it" I mean eat donuts.

    Would seem to be a good head start on post festivities munchies to me. And yes.

    1) Why is it that when a scientist finds a simple piece of clay, it is considered "made" or created by intelligent beings, but the same scientists can examine the most brilliant marvels of engineering (the human) and call it a lucky series of mistakes (mutations)?

    2) Why do astronomists get on tv and talk about events that supposedly took place 300 million years ago on other planets and doesn't use qualifiers like, "this is what we think may have happened," but rather acts like its a fact because it came out of his Ph.D. degreed mouth? Isn't science supposed to be more about truth and less conjecture?

    1. Humans cannot grasp how long (and how little) 1 million years is...

    2. This is where differs on research papers and how it is conveyed to the public. In a paper, it would be couched, but couching doesn't make for good TV, so it is stated as "fact" using the best "guesses" available.

    I think you should study human biology in more detail; the most marvellous thing about the human body is that it works at all given the sheer number of flaws in its "design" ;)

    Please compare and contrast LACP, UDLD, OAM as well as various port channels for network detection, aggregation and reliability. Specifically, please address the short comings of each for multihomed end nodes. Thanks!

    If this thread reaches 1,000 posts, will you still respond to questions asked since you typically stay away from threads with 1,000 or more posts?

    1) Relativity isn't the question. We have between our ears incomprehensibly more computing power than the largest supercomputer ever made. The material that covers our mechanics is self repairing.. If we ever made something remotely as glorious, we would call it a marvel of engineering, certainly not happenstance. And that is only two of perhaps millions of marvels of the human body.

    2) Why do parrots dance when they hear their favorite music?

    yes, as it will still be awesome since it is from me. I would wager a bet that someone asks a question that garners a response that evokes butthurt and ends this thread before then, or it fades into Bolivia before then.

    1. I'm assuming this line of question is really a line of thinking for a non-religious acceptance of the theory of evolution vs. a diety created universe (and thus creation). That can be reconciled easily with the rhetorical statement that science is the study of how God did it.

    2. Parrots have been shown to be intelligent creatures and music is cool.

    Since it is relevant to my paycheck, it is therefore relevant to my life.
    P.S. The geeks shall inherit the earth! :p

    And yet it does. Brilliantly.

    I remember a documentary of scientists using the latest in prosthetics, robotics, and an impressive array of processors. It cost nearly $1 million dollars to build.

    It couldn't walk.

    1) What did the snowman say to the other snowman?

    2) How much weight does a woman have to bench press to be considered ok at the bench press?
