  1. If we are not Animal, ... on Pluto Might Be Bigger Than Eris · · Score: 1

    If we are not Animal, then are we Plant, Fungi or Mineral? I know a few people that might count as Fungi. Tim S.

    False, of the Four Christians that I know their type, two are of the Right and two of the Left. This does NOT count my family or the Members of my Church. This is in Indiana, USA normally considered on the Right side. I think people consider you to be Anti-Christian and do NOT tell you that they are Christian on the left. Tim S.

  4. Re:hip replacement really lows QoL on Americans Less Healthy, But Outlive Brits · · Score: 1

    A person asked the Pres. if his health would support getting a hip replacement of their mother/grandmother hip. He said that it would NOT because at 80+ it would not be a good medical decision. I suggest actually paying attention to the bad things the pres said. I said Democrat because he said the non-democrats are his enemies. That means the he is only the Democrat Pres. Tim S.

  5. hip replacement really lows QoL on Americans Less Healthy, But Outlive Brits · · Score: 0, Troll

    Yeah, replacing a person hip really lows their quality of life. (This is from the Democrat President Obama remark on replacing a 80+ year old hip.) Tim S.

  6. Re:Should be good for the economy on 2010 Election Results Are In · · Score: 1

    Don't forget that the right wing mouthpieces had their part in affecting the debates. The whole "death panel" debacle was completely distorted rhetoric on something very sensible and important: end of life planning and counseling. Which was proposed by a Republican and accepted until it became too much of an albatross to carry.

    You did realize the health care rationing panel was added in one of the stimulus bills. Tim S. See Ruin Your Health With the Obama Stimulus Plan: Betsy McCaughey http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aLzfDxfbwhzs

    Opps, mistake on my part; the answer is even smaller using Wikipedia info for the amount of food energy I think I used a different US pop figure. Should been Kcal not KCal in my post. Tim S.

  9. KCal NOT Cal on The Rise and Fall of America's Jet-Powered Car · · Score: 1
    That is 2500 KCal not 2500 Cal per day.

    from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorie

    The large calorie, kilogram calorie or food calorie (symbol: Cal)[2] approximates the energy needed to increase the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by 1 C. This is exactly 1000 small calories or about 4.2 kilojoules.

  10. Re:Yep on Five Times the US Almost Nuked Itself · · Score: 1

    The "Worst nuclear disaster in US history."

    The proper final quote was "Worst Civilian nuclear disaster in US history."

    The were a few US military nuclear reactor failures that cause direct death to operators that I would consider worse. And of course the Great Britain and Canada civilian nuclear reactor failures were worse. This was would made me decide that newspapers are written by ignorant morons. I was an High School Student when the newspapers said 3 Mile Island was the worse nuclear accident in the world. Months before working on a nuclear power debate, I found more data in a small town school library on the subject than the so called newspaper reporters.

  20. Re:Explain to me again please, on Hunters Shot Down Google Fiber · · Score: 1
    Found out it was on snopes.com http://www.snopes.com/critters/mishaps/hunters.asp Jokes on the site.

    The "painted cow" story also serves as the set-up for some popular jokes:

    "So you painted C-O-W on all yer livestock. Did it help?"

    "Ayup. Didn't lose nary a head..."

    "Aye?"

    "But I did get four bullet holes poked inter my John Deere tractor."


    Just before hunting season opens, farmer Jones always paints COW on all of the bovines on his farm, including the bulls.
    As he says, "No use confusing the city folk with details."
