    When I was a student I participated in studies that measured the effects of smoking on gastric emptying(that's probably not the name of the study but similar). I was paid $25ph(nearly 30 years ago) to chain smoke cigarettes and in one memorable study to smoke cigarettes while drunk. Not kidding the government paid me to get pissed and bought me a pack of cigarettes and made me smoke them.

    Also, that's not my area so I may be completely wrong, but it looks quite unlikely that you'll generate exactly 6 quarks with different color and barionic numbers, so that they can organize as a neutron.

    That would depend on if you are watching(or not)?

  21. Re:No on Can There Be a Non-US Internet? · · Score: 1

    I know you will not believe this but I did try to post an apology a few days ago. I was the definite arsehole in this situation as even a few seconds of cursory investigation on my part would have shown. Instead I chose to go postal. I could try to blame it on my attempting(yet again) to give up smoking but that seems like a cop out(even to me).
    In this case the culprit appears to be my 3G wifi router that can modify data passing through it. I have only ever read about this sort of stuff so it is nice to be having a little adventure.

    Anyway, I am very, very sorry and I hope that this post gets seen by you.
