Think that through again. "Three hours of sports equals one instance of sex. You have watched six hours; therefore sex is not necessary for two more days."
Or, on a more misogynist note, how about when it takes you eight reboots to get her to make the damned baloney sandwich you need for work today?
10-12 hours? Dude, as an intern you sometimes are required to do things like a 24-hours shift, 12 hours off, then 24 hours more. It's among the stupidest things I have ever heard.
But good news! Now there's a 30-consecutive-hour limit! http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2006/09.14/99-sleepyinterns.html Hooray for safety...
Animals usually run, cower, or lash out as defensive reactions to detrimental contact, though some also make use of signals (shrieks, yelps, cries, or roars), hormones (adrenaline), and even some paralyzing agents (snakes and scorpions, for example).
This exact argument can be applied to defend the hypothesis that other humans do not feel pain. After all, if we can't infer internal experience from behavior, then maybe everyone else on Earth are actually automatons. Most people do not agree with this. If those behaviors allow us to infer that other humans feel pain, they also allow us to infer that animals, at least higher mammals, feel pain.
Also?
I do like to think that the animals that are slaughtered for my food suffer as little as possible...
Do you buy your meat from sustainable, small-scale farms? Because if not, I have some really bad news for you...
