The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds given adequate vacuuming systems.
I see we have another fan of firefly. I'm sure Fox doesn't care about all the money they missed out on by canceling it.

Fox refuses to take risks, they go for the quick buck....although I'm sure that isn't much of a surprise.

Angus and Malcolm are from England, originally. They moved to Australia when they were 8 and 10. Which explains there unusual accents.

Violent games do not create violence in the person playing it. It does however release it. In other words, that person was already violent and just needed a trigger. I did a report on this in High School.

You can buy powdered water. But I don't know what to add.

Who the fuck researched that? And what the hell are "adequare vacuuming systems". Do they sell them on eBay? There are really so many things wrong with this "fun fact", including the fact that you're a furry, it gives me shivers, even though I actually worked with bodies drained of blood.
Way to miss a Firefly quote. Also, how the hell does being a furry contribute at all to talking about blood and the draining thereof? I mean, I could see it if we were talking about some kind of large animal who wasn't exsanguinated, but here? Sheesh, you folks are running out of ideas.
Reminds me of yugioh abridged.
Yugi: Now we can join the tournament so I can defeat you once again Kaiba
Kaiba: You are so..... Idiot...

I am a fur myself, Zebra here >.) But I will defend the individual. And anyone that intelligent who also watches firefly should be world ruler in my book.

Every time marine biologists explore the deep sea, they discover a new type of fish or animal.

Angler fish mate for life by having the male permanently attached to the female. He gives her sperm to reproduce and she gives him blood to survive.
On the shark note, some species of sharks don't need males to give birth to fertile young

Nice to meet you as well, I'm a bear if you can't tell. Yeah, the fandom has a tendency to be unnecessarily whiney and obnoxious when it comes to these things, so I generally give the mainstreamers a miss. Good to see someone with some civility about them for a change.

Did you know pain dose not exist, it is made by the mind to say "Stop doing what you are doing." So technicly pain is not a real thing
Oh wow. So you mean to say that pain is not, as humanity has assumed all this time, a system of little gnomes running around the brain? Mind = blown.

The term "real" requires a definition here. If by "real" you mean "existing outside of the human experience", then yes, pain is not real, but then neither is sound.
No sound is different. Sound is "waves" traveling through the air creating vibrations, which our ears and brains interpret as sound. Sound exists whether you can hear it or not, for example you know those ringtones people over 25 can't hear? Just because they can't hear them doesn't mean the sound isn't there, they just can't hear it, the same way just because a blind person can't see something doesn't mean it's not there.

Sound is just waves of different frequencies moving through the air and bouncing off objects, pain on the other hand is a feeling invented by the brain telling us to stop doing something because it can injure our bodies. When we say it's not real we mean that it doesn't exist unless our brains create it, it's a warning mechanism.

OT You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching television. There's something to think about.

If you put your ear to your naked shoulder and flick your elbow, you can hear it through the bone.

This has been tested vigorously with many hours of study.

(I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, so here's a guessed answer.)
Here's the basic concept. Folding a piece of paper in half is increasing the thickness twicefold: <color=green>X^2
Easy to understand, yes?

Now, fold it in half again. <color=green>X^2^2

If <color=green>X is <color=green>2, then <color=green>X^2^2 is <color=green>16. That's only with two folds.

Fold it in half again would make it 16^2, or 256, times thicker. That's three folds.

Folding something in half seven times would be: <color=green>X^2^2^2^2^2^2^2

Following that same rule, folding a paper in half seven times makes it 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 times thicker. Even if one could do it, the paper would run out before it could be folded so many times.
AAAAARUURGHAAARGH

*ahem*

Sorry, but your maths is wrong. I think you started out with the right idea, but you should have:

X is the number of folds.

2^X is your formula for the thickness of the paper (if the paper is one unit thick).

Thus, 0 folds = 1 thickness.
1 fold = 2 thickness.
2 folds = 4 thickness.
3 folds = 8 thickness.

Etc. 7 folds is still 128-thick, though, which is still ridiculous.

(If I messed up and it turns out my maths is wrong, I'm seppuku'ing)

So, do you know any little interesting tidbits no one else knows? I'm on a quest for stupid knowledge, have you any?
cherenkov (sp?) radiation, that is the blue glow that comes off of a nuclear reactor submerged in water, moves slightly faster than the speed of light.

edit: "google" is a real number, and that a googleplex is a google to the google power.
faster than the speed of light? Are you talking about the radiation or it's
glow?
nothing can move faster than the speed of light.
Thats what I thought. But if its the glow then it IS light therefor it raises the bar for light speed. MINDFUCK!

Edwin Booth (the brother of John Wilkes Booth) once saved the life of Robert Lincoln (Abraham Lincoln's son) on a train platform about a year before Lincoln's assassination.

Whoops, I wasn't paying too much attention during this particular lesson in class.

Your method makes perfect sense though.

The speed of light is not the fastest possible speed in the universe. There exists a whole new level about the speed of light. This is Tacheyon (spelling) speed. It is simply proven by the conjunction of two proofs. 1. Light has mass. This is true since light is part particle. Also, it slows down in dense matter rather than speeds up, as a waves normally does. Having proved light has a mass, we can assume that there is a mass smaller, from the proof that there is no largest number, which implies there is no smallest fraction.

Thus, something will always be faster than light.

Sickle cell anemia is an advantage in areas with malaria because the erythrocytes rupture before the parasites can fully mature.

Also, Faster than light speed is possible.

This is done by traveling slower than the speed of light but for a much shorter distance.

Since space time is a plane that reacts to mass. You can create sink-wells, thus making the distance between 2 points smaller. This is a primitive wormhole, a shortcut through space.

The downside is the mass required and the collapse. A mass of this size would be a black hole. (which is not a hole at all. It is a sphere.) It would in the short term (A couple million-billion years) Pull everything toward it and integrate it. It would eventually disappear due to entropy through radiation.
