I never had anything major, but when I broke my ulna and radial (fore arm) the doctor had to snap my arm back in place. My arm would literally dangle down without this crude "surgery". Everything should have been fine and breezy under morphine, but it turns out i'm immune to it. After they were wondering why I was tripping bawls my dad goes "lol o yea guise morphine doezent affect me either llol" I wanted to murder him so hard.

:P I think that although it might be theoretically good to make it illegal, with it being more common young people might smoke it ans screw them up. Hell, all hte screwed up people I knew in fresno smoked pot. Strange, maybe only half the screwed up people I know smoke pot. On the other hand, more than half the people I know smoke pot. You guys really have to open your minds, drugs aren't this scary substance that will destroy your brain and turn you into an addicted zombie. I know you know that's not how you think, but it's what's holding you back from trying some. Personally, I didn't smoke again after my first joint for a month from fear of being addicted, but I soon realized how naive that thought was and my inhibitions went away.

In my experience, people rarely use evolution as an argument against the existence of a god, nor do I remember anyone using that argument here. It really just makes no sense at all; of course god and evolution can coexist. As for how eukaryotic cells arose from prokaryotic cells, there is one prominent theory that goes some way to explaining that step: Endosymbiotic theory. To sum it up, it basically posits that mitochondria and chloroplasts originated as bacteria and were engulfed by another cell to form a symbiotic relationship, both such organelles gradually loosing their biological independence. I suppose it's somewhat similar how bacteria like Chlamydia or Rickettsia coexist with humans (both live within the cells of their host), but in a positive sense. Wow that's an extremely interesting theory, I wonder why I haven't heard of it before. I'll read up on it when I get up in the morning (my brain is currently on the fritz), I wonder if this theory explains why there is some DNA in the mitochondria and plastids. Yep, it does. Obviously mitochondria and chloroplasts have small genomes, most often circular, as is the case with bacteria. These organellular genomes also have genes encoding various products, the most conserved of which being rRNA and tRNA (I'm assuming you know a bit of molecular bio here). What's most interesting is that the ribosomal genes encode a 70S ribosome - the kind found exclusively in prokaryotes. Obviously there is no real reason for them to have such ribosomes, nor is there any real reason that I can think of as to why the mitochondria or chloroplast needs a genome in the first place. There are also some other peculiar features of mitochondria, such as division by a process not unlike binary fission seen in bacteria. [/hide] According to my ex-bio teacher and brother, I already knew about this theory. Apparently they've told me about it everytime I asked them about pro-eucaryote evolution and I just haven't retained the information. Anyways, the theory seems likely, and i'm getting behind it. Thanks for posting!! on topic: ... pretty much everything has been said.

I used to have studio foam, but when my dad wanted to remove the wood tiles on the walls I took the opportunity to add on some sound proofing insulation. I personally find it works better than studio foam, and it's still surprisingly warm in my room, but it still doesn't block out my music entirely... although I find it impossible to do so.

No snow but it's been below 0 Celsius for a good week now, which means the mountains have been pumping out the fake snow. I'm definitely hitting Tremblant this weekend! \ :thumbup:

Since we're on the subject of evolution... in NO way evolution proves that there is no God. Obviously Creationism was created by the elite of the USA to force the civilization to follow their beliefs, and whoever actually thinks Creationism is part of science is a chowderhead. However, evolution does not prove the inexistant of a higher lifeform, because we still do not know how life actually began. Some ideas are being thrown around in the scientific community nowadays, but we still do not know how prokaryotic cells evolved into eucaryotic cells. It's a huge jump in this microscopic world, and until we find answers (we will), people can still argue that there is a God, and evolution would be an invalid argument to refute that claim.

Does it matter? I like the idea of these sort of threads, gives you a chance to get to know a bit more about the people you talk to. If you don't want people to know that little bit more info, then you don't have to post. It's a little like 'Show + Tell' at school when you were six. It's nice. On topic: Anyone living in England will no doubt have noticed the abundence of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nike-JUST-Mini- ... B001AY2W4M. At the moment, you can almost never walk down a street anywhere in London, or go into a school anywhere in the country. For people who don't know, they are these little bags, barely 30cm high. They are worn by all the 'chavs'. Usually coupled with one of these: http://www.outdoorkit.co.uk/product.php?product_id=136. Do something different, please! I would say 75% (at a guess) of secondary school kids have either one or both of these. It really gets on my nerves seeing almost everyone wearing the exact same bag/coat. It's just boring! [/rant] lol... Chav's are losers following the trend... they jsut want some love :? Anyways those nike bags are ugly... chavs should learn how to dress themselves Hahahah, I have one of those bags, except not mini. Sounds pretty pointless to have a 30cm tall bag... Anyways, I've been wearing a Fila backpack for a good 8-9 years now, I can't even find them on google anymore :S. Now, everyone is running around in my exact same backpack, except made by [bleep]ies: Mine is cooler, obviously (bottom pouch is as wide as the bag, and its a little more square so it can actually hold binders and stuff), and whenever someone asks me where I got mine I die a little inside because they completely ruined my special bag :( and how Chavs are ruining them over in Europe :( I'm way too cool for this planet :(

The coolest tattoo i've ever seen was one inside my coworker's upper lip, looks exactly like: ^BEER^ dunno about lions though... but hey, it could be worse! like typo tattoos ([bleep] the sytsem)

+1 There are gay animals all over nature, they're just not evolutionary fit because they don't reproduce. Humans, however, co-evolve with technology which is why our species can live in all corner of the world, unlike any other animal. With this technology, homosexuals can reproduce and are evolutionary fit, and are naturally "normal" (evolutionary-wise). All your ignorant comments on how homosexuality is not natural are completely worthless. There's absolutely no reason to discriminate homosexuals, the difference between a homosexual and heterosexual is the same difference between a blond and a brunette. Someone else discriminated people based on their phenotypes... anyone remember him?

If the width of the "track" going around were narrower, so you could only fit one book instead of two in the same space, then you wouldn't need to get inside the middle. Of course you'd only be able to hold half the books, but it looks snazzy

Everybody does this. People change personalities when their with their friends, families, at work, at school, in private ect. Being different in various situations is actually normal... it's puuuuuurty neat

cause the storks will get mad and refuse them a child :thumbdown:

:thumbup: and for those who argue "lol 2 penises dont fit together guize, your doin it wrong" .. =D>

you guys are in it way too deep lol *plays Let It Be*

when I was your age I: had a barber cut, which is a pretty short cut with even shorter sides, so without gel it would look roughly as though you had a very wide mohawk. Then I would [bleep]e the back of my head up, and go crazy with the top of my head (make a mohawk, only [bleep]e up bang, ect) when your hair gets longer you'll be able to gel the hair on the side of your head, which you'll gel towards the front so it looks like your running backwards really fast ugh, i'll just show you a pic don't worry you won't look gay unless you wear that turtle neck coat thing. You won't have long sideburns like him, but gel your side hair like i told you to, little brother

I work at: -Subway : My constant money flow job which prevents me from being broke for a month. It's near my house so its really convenient. -Graphic design: I make websites for an independent company, but i'm on contract so I'm not always working. I can also choose what projects I want since i've been with them for 2 years. Good pay. -Snack-Seller: I honestly don't know my official job title, but I just got a just got a job selling snacks at the Bell Center during hockey games and concerts. I can also sell at the Allouettes games but their season in Montreal is over in the stadium the company I work at owns. It's freaking awesome, I once make 300$ one hockey game, and I only work between periods, so 40 mins a night. I also hang out with the SMOKING hot exercise girls, who cheer up the crowed between periods. The rack I carry around is sooo heavy and the fans treat you like trash though. I'm too busy to work there, all the way downtown, but if I work once a month I keep the job. This way I gain senority and i'll be able to sell beer soon (500$/game). sorry for the tl;dr

I don't even want to think about how I'd live my life without weed. I wouldn't be able to stand college or my exs without any Judz... scary My bro will be able to prescribe me weed in 2 years, and I can keep it low 'til then. Smooth sailing from then on, i believe :thumbup:

I'm in the same boat man.. I have no idea why I keep coming back, I always feel good with myself when I haven't played for six months, yet I don't feel shame or anxiety when I actually play. When I look at my stats, I'm glad there's no 99's cause it shows I haven't wasted that much time on this stupid game.. yet I subscribe 2 months later and try getting a 99. :thumbdown:

Obviously hockey is my #1 favorite sport... I mean, you're playing on freaking ICE. Someone had to have been on some crazy drugs to invent this sport. I love it because all my friends play and watch it, and it's the sport with the most epic moments. Futbol is obviously the most popular, and you can argue that rugby is better than hockey... but you crazy Aussies don't know what you're missing 8-) so yea, hockey#1 :thumbup:

I broke my arm, and didn't realize it was broken until 2 weeks later. They almost had to re-break it. Same happened with my foot. Of course, these were both hairline fractures. If they were compound fractures, I'm pretty sure I'd just cry my eyes out. Hahaha, yea; I broke my arm once with my jacket on and my arm literally dangled mid-forearm down if I didn't hold it up. So walked home to get a ride to the hospital bawwwling and my parents were just "put some ice on it", when I let go to show them my arm bending the wrong way :lol: Back on topic, your foot isn't broken. Some people have those "tough man" stories, where they walk around with broken feet, but they're just blowing air.

when the bumble bees become extinct, which will be soon

I hate when my friends totally ignore me as im pointing at a hot chick with a nice rack and instead want to continue talking about how they were in this one intense online grammar war

My friend and I were just sitting at a bus terminus when he sees a pretty girl: "she's [bleep]able" he tells me. I immediately facepalmed, then the old man who we thought was sleeping starts telling us his very very very personal stories and how us young'uns cant please women anymore. Actually, it wasn't that weird.. I enjoyed his stories quite a bit :lol:

Crazy, man. 10/10 for taking the oldschool route... I am too but i'm only 85/99 and it's taking forEVER.
