Who said you aren't gluing your head to the tip of the cannon? Nobody. You're still faced with the problem that water is not dense and the fact that your skin is an organ system which main function is to protect the body. Even at high speed, one droplet doesn't stand a chance versus skin.

any David Bowie song for me. My friend also has a playlist dedicating for drinking on his computer, lots of Irish drinking songs (with odd names) which are good for chugging \

Okay PurePrayer, with your freaking super-cannon defying all physical rules: Even if you do manage to launch a droplet of water (liquid or frozen) at light speed, it's density would not permit it to penetrate your skin (ESPECIALLY frozen water). Also, have you ever heard of terminal velocity? Unless you glue your head to the tip of the cannon, the droplet of water will slow down instantly as soon as it leaves the cannon. Anything high speed =/= death, especially if it has such a low density as water. Also, for the guy who posted the "final droplet to drown"... That doesn't even make sense. A droplet is considered to be 1mL is most cases, and I can't imagine how it would make any difference about allowing you to breathe or not. The fact that you set a value to the tipping point of drowning (it was 30mL i believe), is the first flaw. If you're passed out, your throat has to be filled completely with water. Since that's a heck of a lot of water, adding or removing one droplet will change absolutely nothing. The tipping point is much larger than just +/- one drop of water, is what i'm getting at.

I would definitely love doing that, but I would have to bring somebody. Not because it would make me feel secure, but I can't live without any human contact for more than 24 hours. That and Canada is boring, its just snow and pine trees really

I'm with Riku on this one. I always tell my friends that it tastes like heavily diluted Jello, but they tell me it's OK because the drink is healthy (better than drinking a soda). I guess people nowadays believe everything they read... that VitaminWater bologna is probably just regular water (which already has minerals and vitamins in them) with added food colouring and sugar. I don't see why you would need water to taste good in order to drink some :thumbdown:

coffee is my fave flave in the morning hot water for when I read at night healthiest would be liquid flintstones vitamins

Yurp. Not many people understand this, even at the college level. To get rid of nerves, practice is the only way to go. The more you do it, the less nerves you get... also, try caring less.

There's absolutely no explosion when you split hydrogen from oxygen, sorry. I think she meant split the atoms themselves, not the molecule as a whole. And hydrogen atoms/oxygen atoms just explode when you break them down? This doesn't make sense at all... at any rate, if you do manage to make it explode, you do realize it is at an ATOMIC level? :roll: Errrr.... we're still talking about a purified drop of water, and the fact that the cutter doesn't work by using a single drop of water pretty much concludes that I'm still right. I'm sure if you reused the same drop over and over it would eventually cut you. The droplet of water would gain too much friction energy which will heat it up to evaporation before it ever cuts my skin. Plus, like cannibalism said, such a machine does not/will not ever exist because it would be physically impossible. Do you know how an atomic bomb works? I can assure you, it's at an atomic level as well. wow, you've opened my eyes. I had no idea the atomic bomb worked on an atomic level. For all of you who think splitting atoms can kill you: do us all a favour and wikipedia atomic bombs, and understand the concept of nuclear fission. And for the second time, you cannot just shoot a droplet of water out of a cannon. It would disperse immediately and thus will be unable to kill you. The argument of jet water cutters is also invalid since it uses abrasive substances to actually cut the metal, and we're talking about a pure droplet of water. It also relies on a constant supply of high pressure water, because, again, ONE droplet of water cannot kill you.

I run on hotdog omelets ROLL IN THE LADIES! \

The only reason why i'm put off by rap is because every single one of them is in love with themselves :wall: Anyways... MF Doom is my favorite rapper, one of my favourite artists as well

Drop of water in your blood a drop of water in your blood would not kill you, blood is already composed of a lot of water with solute in it. Injecting enough water into your blood will kill you by making your blood hypotonic and destroying your cells. Get firefox its win. OT: If you have sickle-cell disease that droplet of water could block some of the (sickle) cells from getting to your organs. Also with a super water jet cutter you could use more than one drop and just fire the one drop or cut off all after the one drop. This might be hard but it only takes the first drop to kill you. You wouldn't be able to do that though. That's like saying you can fire 1/16th of a bullet out of a gun if you just tap the trigger quickly. That thing shoots like 1000 droplets of water out per second. It would be impossible to get it to fire only 1 droplet. And, since ol' Dusty and I are talking about a pure droplet of water (ONLY H2O molecules), we can argue that passing that drop of water through your physically impossible machine would contaminate it somehow. So even if it does kill us (although we proved for 2 pages that it can't), we can argue that it was not pure when it hit us.

Drop of water in your blood Doubt it can kill. :| Especially since blood is 90% water

We're still talking about a single droplet of purified water. The amount of energy required to compress water is extremely high and you get almost no results. IT'S A LIQUID. The second it would pop out of your magical compressing machine, it would regain its old density. Speaking of density, you guys really think a droplet of water can just penetrate your skin? (Assuming you do end up shooting it out of a magical physics-defying cannon) :roll:

The reason for removing restrictions on abortion is to allow a safe procedure for the woman. Abortions happen despite laws against it, and prior to Roe vs. Wade, there were something like 5000 deaths a year due to poor hygiene and procedures. Added, there were still 1.2 million abortions a year prior to Roe vs. Wade, while there were about 850,000 in 2003. [1][2] The only thing that's going to seriously reduce abortion rates is good sex education. I'd much rather an "all of the above" solution than the insane approach of "abstinence-only" sex ed. You need to teach kids to use contraception regularly and effectively if you have any chance of reducing abortion rates. Kids have sex whether you teach them to or not; it's really just a natural human urge. I don't see how these abortion laws advocate underage sex at all, only bad parenting and a lack of proper sex education would do that. Added, according to the actual bill (source [1]), late term abortions (after about 24 weeks) will still be restricted to situations where the life or health of the woman is in danger. I agree, 100% Also, do we really have to talk about abortions? All these new topics are pretty depressing :(

Suggested a few times, shot at high speeds can kill you. [quote name="Answer to everything in this thread"]Shot at high speeds can kill you.[/quote] You can't just shoot a drop of water. Anyways, if it was dropped/gains energy by speed, it would definitely get too hot and evaporate. Even if you did manage to shoot it at high speed, one tiny hole in your body (wherever) isn't going to kill you. But you wouldn't be able to because, if it had that much energy, it would just separate into even smaller droplets before touching you. You could slip on it if it's spread out enough You can't just spread out a drop of water. It's cohesive properties won't let you. Everybody in this topic is seriously underestimating the human body :shame:

Dude, just relax. You have a broken leg, it won't heal any faster if you go Hulk on everything you see. Just suck it up an deal with it, by summertime you'll be fine

Everyone has had their fair share of bad teachers, but as long as you work hard and study you'll get good grades. Even though a certain teacher makes the course material hard to understand and writes impossible exams, there are always finals that are written by the entire department. I failed every unit exam in Cal2, but I still worked hard and... 94% in the final \

I work at the cleanest Subway on the island on Montreal *points at awards on the restaurant's wall*. We stock rotate all our veggies (whenever we add more it always goes underneath old stuff), meats and even the sauce. Our lettuce bin is cleaned every morning, it never gets dirty either. Also, if my boss hires incompetent people who dirty up and mix veggies all the veterans (including me) yell at them. After every rush, we (it's usually me, easy work) clean the microwaves, toaster oven and counter (where all the meats, veggies n sauces are on display), and someone else runs up and wipes off all the tables. So yea, come dine at my subway \ Customers still manage to complain about other things though, but that's what I get for working with the public.

I'm known for having good tastes of clothes, with a nerdy twist. I'm currently wearing my Leonardo (TMNT) tuque, guys loath it and ladies adore it.

Basically, you have to sell yourself. For those 10 minutes, you really have to believe that you are the best and that you are perfect. I also prepare a couple of good points I'd like to mention depending on the type of interview being held.

I hate fast food chains... Subway used to be the only bearable fast food chain for me but ever since i've worked there I can't eat it anymore. Now I only visit La Belle Province, their food is so good I don't care if my arteries explode

It's ridiculous what we get some of our friends to do sometimes. Sadly, I am also a victim of peer pressure. Who would of known people your age, living in the same area and have the same beliefs as you could be so influential?
