Meh, I've heard worse, and there's always one. Glad to see that the drama storm I was expecting from the thread title won't be materialising...
I think that is a clear case of "be careful what you wish for".
I doubt things have changed much as far as parents killing their children go, these things happen occasionally and probably always have done and...
That's quite interesting. Didn't know of that one. Though frankly, just about every polymer produces nasty fumes to varying degrees when burnt...
In a word, yes. But do Americans eat food that isn't fast gunk or otherwise horrificly unhealthy?
Or you could just buy a standard plug-in wattmeter, which will give you a far more accurate result and without the risk of electrocution and...
I used to play chess quite a lot, even won a chess competition at my old school (admittedly the other competitors were fairly mediocre). If I'd...
I once managed to burn my feet fairly badly on the pavement. It was a ridiculously hot day and the sun had been shining directly on them for...
Fluoxetine does not have the same effect or metabolic pathway as fluoride ions. From what I can gather of that wiki page/know of chemistry, the...
I have a fair few favourite books. Pretty much everything ever written by: Douglas Adams, Tom Holt, Raymond E. Feist, Janny Wurts and Brian &...

Life is relative. People are not homogeneous and you can't expect everyone to follow the same ideals as you do. You just have to make the best...
There are far more insidious and malicious sources in schools than mere wifi transmitters. The signal power of those is frankly peanuts anyway,...
What happened to just blaming the weather...?
The poster you mention is more or less correct. The energy cost to make a cheap plastic/paper/whatever cup is fairly low. It often costs more in...
I agree here; a healthy, sturdy person is more attractive to me than a stereotypically "sexy" stick insect figure... I'm not too bad in that...
There are literally thousands of them. You'll get a bigger response on a more UK-centric site or by just chatting up someone you meet in Soho,...
That's not so bad, the rest of them end in death :p More seriously though, whilst we may be bitter and cynical, a lot of people are still...
While this is sad I can't say I'm surprised. Zealous authoritarianism and an inability to deal with these kinds of situations seems fairly common...
Separate names with a comma.
