    I know a guy that just hates pot. He cuts it down and takes great delight in burning it... apparently to increase it agony, he only burns a little bit at a time... if he remembers... and isn't busy eating...

    I say he should get the chair, as long as it reclines and has a cup holder... It doesn't matter if he fries, he's already baked.

    At 87 my grandmother was still providing daycare for two and three year old kids... and volunteering at the elementary school as well. She had her 102nd birthday this year, and is still going good... not watching little kids anymore but still able to do everything for herself. Oh, she also had eight kids and so many grand and great grand kids that I have no idea what the total is now. Good genes and healthy living seem to pay off. Also, not getting a broken bone when you are old seems to prolong life.

    I had a buddy that liked to restore cars, his last one was a 49 Ford Coup with a flathead V8. I think he used Farmers for full coverage (i.e. repair cost) as a "show car", but there were limits as to total miles per year he could drive the thing.

    Street legal is equipment requirements, many cars sold throughout the world are not street legal in the USA. License, registration and (for the real Batmobile) the big one, insurance, all come into play after you have a vehicle that is street legal.

    I wonder what kind of a premium you would have for something that crashes through buildings and what not.

    "Hello, Prudential? Hey did you see the TV report about the car chase that led to the eventual building collapse downtown? Well, funny story, I kinda did that with my car... so... my deductible is still $500, right?"

    OK, for myself, "fully functional" means I can take it to the corner store and do some shopping... but according to TFA this thing is not street legal.

  13. Re:Maybe some help for Asthmatics on You Have Taste Receptors In Your Lungs · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, anyone with an SVN (small volume nebulizer) could test this at home... two issues would be remembering that sour != bitter and selecting a safe bitter testing substance.

    Tonic water contains a small amount of quinine, which is considered bitter. That might be an interesting development, Schweppes for COPD.

    Of course I'm not suggesting that anyone with a health issue such as COPD should undertake such home tests. If, as you suggest, other countries found effective therapies, it would be hard to stop the many home SVN owners from following up if the substance was common...

    To be Politically Correct, you must call it African American Silicon.

    So, the color of his skin gives him American citizenship?
    If you really want to phrase it this way, he must be called an "African South African" which seems to be the epitome of redundancy...
    Also, I had no idea he was a "prople".
