Calorie Burning Coke Coming Soon
The Fun Guy writes "Coca-Cola and Nestle are getting together to introduce a new beverage "proven to burn calories". Enviga will be in the U.S. Northeast in November, nationwide in January 2007. How does it burn calories? With green tea extracts, calcium, and caffeine. No word on how many milligrams caffeine per can. "
Otherwise known as cancer
In a world of acronyms, the words are the real victims.
Enviga + Viagra = Senior Citizen Health Plan
We've had calorie burning coke for a while. Apparently this new product isn't as hard on the nose.
Similes are like metaphors
Look, the only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume.
I know a tapeworm that says you are wrong.
Also dysentary is another solution to lose weight without exercize and reducing your calorie intake.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
No no no. You have to eat the can as well. That burns more than enough calories in chewing energy. Strengthens your teeth, too.

Look, the only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume. It's calories in versus calories out and Enviga, metabolically will not let you magically burn more calories by consuming it unless it can somehow short circuit the electron transport chain or mitochondrial respiration and that is dangerous as hell.

There is a much more simple way to lose weight - the cold water method
Remember that a calorie is the energy used to heat one ml of water by one degree celcius. No the calories mentioned with weight loss are actually kilocalories, so 1 Kcal is the energy needed to heat 1 litre of water one degree celcius.
So far, so good. So to lose a Kg in weight, you need to burn about 7000 calories; so you could raise 1 litre of water to a very hot temperature, or 7000 litres of water just 1 degree.
Just as dieting is balanced, I would reccommend taking a balanced approach here. You could raise about 200 litres of water 35 degrees and that gets you over the "magic" 7000 figure here.
How? Easy. Just take one large bath tub. Fill with water. Add ice and straw. Drink.
Voila! An easy Kg of weight loss, no exercise required.
Your bodies natural regulatory mechanisms will maintain your temperature at 37 degrees, and the ice will keep the water at 0 degrees, easily maintaining a >35 degree differential.
And it doesn't get any more natural than water; no nasty chemicals involved.
Remember who told it to you first

There is no cryptographic solution to the problem where the intended receiver and the attacker are the same entity.
That's why I eat celery all the time. Celery with Ranch dressing, Celery with peanut butter, etc. It works great!

In fact, forget the celery!

This is a violation of the Starfleet Temporal Prime Directive. You aren't supposed to be talking about future artifacts.
"It means exactly what I intended it to say..."
In other words, you intended to say nothing, since that is what that sentence means.
"...and you should know earning it obtained reading..."
That does not mean anything in English. Obtain means to acquire, not require.
Also, trying to use a double-negative is probably not what the other poster was talking about. Good job on sounding like a pretentious asshole, though.
