Thirsty People Feel More Pain
Bifurcati writes "Being thirsty makes you more sensitive to pain, according to a recent study. By simultaneously doing brain scans, new areas of the brain were activated when both pain and thirst were present, apparently making the pain more "painful" - perhaps a survival method so that pain is prioritized over thirst. They'd like to do more research, but ethical issues make it tough - even these subjects had to spend three hours being poked and prodded!"
It seems to me Linux officially announcing that they will now have their own distribution of linux and make their own operating system should hold more ground right...?
Insinct is stronger than Upbringing - Irish Proverb
Even a good, strong Belgian tends to top out at 12-15%. All beer is mostly water, silly.
15% alchohol, maybe, but there's a lot of other stuff in there too. I've had belgians that feel like there's a good half inch of grit on the bottom from the bottle fermentation. And some of them pour more like cough syrup than beer, so surely there can't be THAT much water in there.
How many slashdotters can honestly sustain prolonged poking?
I think most would be finished right about the time the first article of clothing hit the floor.
