No, explain. I didn't know spongebob used Tif. I kinda like mine better But actually I have a sorta problem on my hands. My friend (a girl) thinks that I like her because another of my friends told her so. How do say that I don't like her even if she wont believe me? I dont want to call her a [bleep]ing [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] [bleep]er [bleep] [bleep]er hippopotamus Thats the last resort.

  8. If this is a public school (which it is) then its altering the governments property so he might not get 38 years but he will probably get a lot.
  9. But 38 years... If he is in 12th grade and he is 17 years old. 38 years would make him 55.
  10. http://www.wired.com/science/discoverie ... eprivation Snorting a brain chemical will allow you not to sleep. [hide=long post]In what sounds like a dream for millions of tired coffee drinkers, Darpa-funded scientists might have found a drug that will eliminate sleepiness. A nasal spray containing a naturally occurring brain hormone called orexin A reversed the effects of sleep deprivation in monkeys, allowing them to perform like well-rested monkeys on cognitive tests. The discovery's first application will probably be in treatment of the severe sleep disorder narcolepsy. The treatment is "a totally new route for increasing arousal, and the new study shows it to be relatively benign," said Jerome Siegel, a professor of psychiatry at UCLA and a co-author of the paper. "It reduces sleepiness without causing edginess." Orexin A is a promising candidate to become a "sleep replacement" drug. For decades, stimulants have been used to combat sleepiness, but they can be addictive and often have side effects, including raising blood pressure or causing mood swings. The military, for example, administers amphetamines to pilots flying long distances, and has funded research into new drugs like the stimulant modafinil (.pdf) and orexin A in an effort to help troops stay awake with the fewest side effects. The monkeys were deprived of sleep for 30 to 36 hours and then given either orexin A or a saline placebo before taking standard cognitive tests. The monkeys given orexin A in a nasal spray scored about the same as alert monkeys, while the saline-control group was severely impaired. The study, published in the Dec. 26 edition of The Journal of Neuroscience, found orexin A not only restored monkeys' cognitive abilities but made their brains look "awake" in PET scans. Siegel said that orexin A is unique in that it only had an impact on sleepy monkeys, not alert ones, and that it is "specific in reversing the effects of sleepiness" without other impacts on the brain. Such a product could be widely desired by the more than 70 percent of Americans who the National Sleep Foundation estimates get less than the generally recommended eight hours of sleep per night (.pdf). The research follows the discovery by Siegel that the absence of orexin A appears to cause narcolepsy. That finding pointed to a major role for the peptide's absence in causing sleepiness. It stood to reason that if the deficit of orexin A makes people sleepy, adding it back into the brain would reduce the effects, said Siegel. "What we've been doing so far is increasing arousal without dealing with the underlying problem," he said. "If the underlying deficit is a loss of orexin, and it clearly is, then the best treatment would be orexin." Dr. Michael Twery, director of the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research, said that while research into drugs for sleepiness is "very interesting," he cautioned that the long-term consequences of not sleeping were not well-known. Both Twery and Siegel noted that it is unclear whether or not treating the brain chemistry behind sleepiness would alleviate the other problems associated with sleep deprivation. "New research indicates that not getting enough sleep is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders," said Twery. Still, Siegel said that Americans already recognize that sleepiness is a problem and have long treated it with a variety of stimulants. "We have to realize that we are already living in a society where we are already self-medicating with caffeine," he said. He also said that modafinil, which is marketed as Provigil by Cephalon and Alertec in Canada, has become widely used by healthy individuals for managing sleepiness. "We have these other precedents, and it's not clear that you can't use orexin A temporarily to reduce sleep," said Siegel. "On the other hand, you'd have to be a fool to advocate taking this and reducing sleep as much as possible." Sleep advocates probably won't have to worry about orexin A reaching drugstore shelves for many years. Any commercial treatment using the substance would need approval from the Food and Drug Administration, which can take more than a decade.[/hide]
  11. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/w ... 168112.ece I think he would of gotten a lesser punishment if he had held the teachers at gunpoint. What do you think?

  14. That is a totally bias website, despite its name, its whole purpose is to support theism. I don't even want to begin to disprove it. This is what I don't get, no offence Pio, I'm just using you as an example. Why does it matter? I understand that bias websites are bias and usually shade their evidence, but what about when you post sites that 'prove' evolution and 'disprove' creationism? Aren't those bias in the same way? First off, the context in which he posted the link implied that it should please both sides of the debate, with him saying "[/thread]". Secondly, the context in which I post sites is to support my argument. Also I'd hardly consider scientific theories bias, whether your a theist or not, you gotta consider the validity of quantum physics and the like. Oh, well I never clicked on the link. But, what I mean is, that usually when someone posts a site like TalkOrigins and the like, the site itself IS bias against Religion. Since when does creationism = (all of) religion? All TalkOrigins seeks to do is debunk creationism, not religion, and it does a pretty good job as far as I'm concerned considering it actually backs up its claims with sound science and links to peer reviewed research. I've generally found that creationist material seriously skews the relevant science and misrepresents evolution. That's all creationism really can do to attempt and debunk evolution, considering it is sound science.[/hide] But, Creationism = Christianity = Religion. And that's your opinion; while yes, occasionally there are sites such as "God created the Earth and all the heavens because the Bible is read by billions of people!!!!!" (or millions? not sure) Then, there ARE sites that back up Creationism with real facts, and I've posted those before. MONSTR QUOTR i only put "[/thread]" because i though someone would get a laugh out of it. If 1 person laughs even a little it was WORTH IT. Also "[/thread] is gone now BTW.
  15. I can't make any sense out that sentence! Verb/noun/adverb disagreement!! And then I LMAO'd. I've seen people misuse "your," but "you're"? LMAO YOU'RE hilarious!! Damn is your [wagon] on the ground right now?
  16. Well in American football usually the tall and bigger kids have an advantage over the little kids so its like a person trying to tip over a tank. A normal person that is.
  17. We got our class to count how many times your teacher said "UMM" or UHH" it came out like 97
  18. Almost 51% of the population doesn't, lol. 49.99% Proving People Wrong On The Internet Thats my motto. total population: 1.01 male(s)/female (2008 est.) Taken from Cia World Factbook
  19. Christianity will last until 12/21/12. [scarcasm]Seeing as Christianity will be alive and strong until 12/21/12 this thread will be reported[/sarcasm]
  20. Everyone does at like 9 now.
  21. Harness wouldn't fit him [/fatjoke] Its ok to say fat jokes about weird celebrity right?
  22. Its so that people cant mass train to get overall xp like get 600k xp/h in fletching and fast xp in cooking for however much xp (999 billion) and get massive overall xp. This is bad because the hi-scores are sorted by level and then by overall xp.
  23. The Smartass who realised they could get a 0 or a 100 on their exam and stay the same grade. Needless to say i got a 32% on my exam. You really cant go wrong with C. Pic:
