I think they got that from the FDA regulations, they've got a whole list, it's kind of disturbing, but it's true - like you can have so many rat hairs per jar of peanut butter - you'd be surprised, or sick sorry.

Still reading stuff on that site, there's more topics on the navigation bar.

LMAO I hate it when a good plan backfires!

I remember going out back one afternoon for a smoke and the gay lady neighbors on the west were blasting Bette Midler and the teenage daughters of the neighbor on the West were blasting Britney Spears. I believe that was the fastest I've ever smoked a cigarette.

Anyone notice that toward the top it says that 1 in 2 billion people will live to be 116 and then toward the bottom it says 1 in 2 billion people will live to be 166? So if you make it to 116 you get another 50 years as a bonus. Or a curse, depending on how you look at it.

OK, if I remember my physics correctly, weight uses gravity as the constant in the equation. Isn't the center of gravity for the earth in the center? (That's why people on the other side of the world don't fall off). So, if gravity is pulling everything toward the center of the earth, how can the earth weigh anything?

Quote:
From 1840, every president elected in a year ending in the numeral "0" has been assassinated, died in office, or been severely wounded in an attempt on his life. Each event has taken place in an odd numbered year and each on an even numbered day. In each case, the number of terms the president was elected to has alternated between single and multiple (i.e. Harrison 1, Lincoln 2, Garfield 1, Mckinley 2, etc). Ronald Reagan was the first president who did not die because of this "curse." If this pattern continues, the person elected in 2000 will die in 2001 or 2003, or will be wounded in an assassination attempt. Let's hope that the "curse" was broken by Ronald Reagan's survival in 1981.
Yeah, we all hope this curse was broken right?

Hmmmm, that doesn't sound right to me, I thought the earth would weigh more than, 6,588 quadrillion tons. Go figure!! FOFL.







I'm joking, who would know/care if that was even close.

thats cuz we can count on the Chinese to keep the population up like spring bunnies in heat~ they need more people to work the factories that make all the products you and i use around the world at a very low price. naturally, the quality i have come to expect from a "made in china" product is low, but it's inexpensive too, so you really just get what you pay for. :) have a good day`

"So, if gravity is pulling everything toward the center of the earth, how can the earth weigh anything?"

First of all the earth has MASS not WEIGHT! Weight is only mass multiplied by 9.81m/s sq (that is the rate of acceleration caused by earths' gravity) So the earths' weight is determined by its' mass x 9.81m/s sq.
When you weigh yourself, you have to place the scales between yourself & the centre of the earth to get an accurate reading, i.e. you have to stand on them!! It, or you, would weigh more or less on a different planet or star, dependant on the mass of the other object. The gravity of the moon is less than on earth due to its' smaller size/mass. It is all relative. Big mass, you weigh more; little mass, you weigh less!

Stars work a little differently, neutron stars are very small, but are also very dense, they weigh more & have a gravity like you would not believe.
This may help to explain in more detail;

I do believe that's what I was getting at. In case you didn't notice I was questioning the earth having any weight at all, which you just agreed with me on. So, thanks for reinforcing my thoughts. ;)
