I think we should try to bring back the idea that diseases such as MMR are signs of sinfulness, and punishments from God to those with impure thoughts. The uptake in vaccinations will be astounding!
I only use 1 hand to write text messages (the other is holding the phone) Swype is very effective at this. If the device is strapped to my arm, it's being held, and my other hand does the Swyping. There is one issue though, and it's something that nothing really can be done about it. It suffers the same issues that plague so many pieces of equipment, not left-hand friendly. I guess it can be overcome by wearing the watch on the right arm, but that feels unnatural.
Either way, I'm certain it takes voice commands so you can dictate messages to it.
By physical labor, do you mean people who operate heavy machinery? I've seen plenty of crane/dozer/digger operators who are overweight, because their canteen provides fatty foods, originally intended for people who are operating pickaxes and shovels.
I haven't seen anyone who breaks rocks by hand (with hand tools) who is overweight.
The sumo wrestler is someone who had gone out with the specific intention of gaining as much weight as they can manage, including eating very large meals and then going to sleep right after to encourage that excess energy to be deposited as fat.
Well, if you've been doing plenty of regular exercise and still managed to get so fat you start to do damage to your joints, then something has gone seriously wrong somewhere.
I do wonder at people who only put the slightest amount of skimmed milk in their tea/coffee because they are worried about their weight. I grew up drinking 2-3 pints of full fat milk a day, I absolutely loved the stuff. Though, the 3 (primary school) and 6 (secondary school) mile (10km) daily commute on the bike may be a contributing factor to keeping slim.
The GP's comment is still valid, I do not see people who regularly exercise become/be fat. You'd have to be doing something deliberately wrong (be a sumo wrestler) to pull something like that off.
Given how turkeys are themselves a renewable source of energy, I fail to see why they feel one should supplant the other. I did read somewhere though that electricity produced from the consumption of large quantities of turkey seemed "sluggish" and "sleepy" for several hours and needed a nap prior to being somewhat productive.
Is that for all electricity, or just that produced by renewable means? I'd also hazard a guess that the Germans are more environmentally conscious and willing to pay that bit extra if it benefits the environment.
I never got why people expected renewable to equal cheap. Renewable is supposed to mean not damaging the environment, or using up a finite resource. I guess people figured that since you don't have to buy wind, sun or tide as a 'fuel' that it should be free.
Hey buddy, me and my friends can provide you with service for moving people permanently to the bottom of the ocean *wink* and all we need is a little cement.
Imagine if cancer is just failed attempts at immortality in the evolutionary strategy. One day it might succeed, but it would be quite ironic if before that, we 'cure' it.
I lived with a Frenchman for a while and I was making French toast for breakfast once and I asked him what they call it in France. He told me he'd never heard or seen this food before. I asked him why it was called French toast then, and with dead seriousness he replied, "Probably to make it sound better."

Exactly. Don't worry though, the rest of the world is watching.
Microsoft does 360s. I thought everyone knew that?
It is a very innately human thing to be able to laugh at real tragedy. If we did not, the world would be an even more depressing place.

Not just make a killing, but will put all the other companies out of business as their treatments become worthless.
And the more countries that have nuclear weapons, the less we have to rely on the US to come to the defense of others!
Yeah, same for computers, it's a pain that there's been no progress since Pentium 4's 4Ghz processors
Maybe anyone who subscribes to ANY religion should have their heads examined?

"I used to be slim like you..."

Obviously you can't have people walking into movie theaters with cameras active.
Sorry for the offtopic:
It would be great for these devices to provide subtitles to new movies for the deaf.
What has he done that warrants suing?
Perfecting cloning and mind transfer is the way to go.
Also, I can "recognize", say, unwanted body hair as a disease, but all that means is that I'm delusional; my recognition doesn't make it so.
I think the level of discomfort differs between the 2 diseases. Also, the side-effects of both vary greatly.

Did I miss something? Have we got actual examples of people who were hurt by this?
