I don't think we've done enough carefully controlled human trials with bullets to make your claim. I'd suggest some form of double-blind experiment, shooting several thousand subjects from various socioeconomic classes with blanks and with bullets, and see what the effect on cancer rate is. I'll volunteer for the control group, which doesn't get shot at all. Providing a baseline for the population is probably the hardest job, as it takes the longest amount of time.
Unfortunately, the scientific method requires random assignment in order to prove causation, so you can't volunteer for a group. You'll have to take the coin flip like the rest of them:-)
and needless to say, your participation in your own idea for an experiment negates the 'double-blind' nature of the experiment

PS I know that your post is meant to be a joke, but you'd be surprised how many students entering my Research Methods class don't see the problem with letting participants volunteer for their condition!
It's all in the dosage. *ANYTHING* (even, say oxygen or water) is toxic if given in a high enough dose.
Including ethanol, nicotine and caffeine to name a few.
With the notable exception of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. There has never been a single fatal case of THC poisoning in all of medical history.
Just because there has never been a fatal case does not mean it's not possible. Enough THC (roughly 68 grams) would most assuredly kill you. Now, it's impossible to get that much THC from smoking marijuana, but if you, say, ingested that much straight THC, you would die.
in a similar vein, one of my favorite features is middle clicking on the title bar to drop the window to the bottom. Extraordinarily useful. Even now, I'm dropping this post reply window to check my multiple (smaller) IM windows. Of course, this window still keeps focus, as you mentioned.

In a perfect world, my friend. In a perfect world....
"If I'm friends with Bob at the office, and I lend him my car, and he crashes it, then wee [sic] might get in an argument."
Oh, come now. Which is more likely: a friend crashing a car, or an office romance turning sour? The former might happen every 20 years, the latter every few months.
Also, I'd like to point out that I disagree with forbidding office romances. Let them try to handle it like adults. If they can't, fire 'em.
"If people get into relationships, and they break up, and then can't work properly together, then it's probably time for management to step in."
That's the point. Management doesn't want to have to "step in" in the first place. Ergo, no office romances.
They can afford to lose money on legal fees and trials-- they're hoping they scare enough people into buying music instead of downloading it illegally, which will put them back in the black.
exactly. If you use the "open in tabs" function in Firefox (one of my favorite Firefox features) to open 10 or 15 tabs simultaneously, if one (or worse, more) has a noisy ad, you have to search through every tab to find it. But again, adblock/flashblock keeps everything peaceful.
Memphis is the next major city on the Mississipi River, hundreds of miles before St. Louis, and I'm sure FedEx would LOVE to jump in on the extra shipping/warehousing of goods.
same reason a 16 year-old can buy rolling papers at the drugstore. It's illegal for him/her to use them to smoke... anything... but they are legal to buy.
Plus, if you're intelligent and patient enough to master fermentation, etc. you deserve to taste the fruits of your labor
there is a lot of anecdotal evidence that people frequently go to bed worrying about a problem, then wake up with the solution fresh in their minds. This research helps to confirm this phenomenon
if this movie fails or is even disappointing for ANY reason econommically, there is 0 chance that if there is a torrent out there it will not get blamed.
much as they hate P2P, I think the MPAA/media/lucasfilm/etc. will blame the dark subject matter and excessive bloodletting first.
How about Bank of America? That a big enough web site for you? Requires IE. Maybe it's just the Fleet Bank subsection, dunno, don't have access to anything else.

Well, they have the capability to detect motorcycles and bicycles, but often the street dept. lowers the sensitivity to the point that only vehicles larger than a small car are detected. This is well documented on many motorcycle discussion boards.

most extreme example I've encountered is lighter fluid that has WARNING: FLAMMABLE written all over it. Well, it BETTER be flammable, right?

fret not, for Ron Paul is a RINO if there ever was one. He campaigned as a Republican just to get into Congress. Most classify him as a Libertarian.
Gee, I wonder why...
I had almost the exact same problem with an old "brand X" DVD player. Damn thing had to be at 38 degrees (+/- 2) or it wouldn't spin the DVD.
Oh, and a little "percussive maintenance" didn't hurt either.

actually, you'll notice that it's been the pro-God (and supposedly) anti-Satan crowd that's been churning out the wars (and profiting from them).
