Ahh, the scientists are wrongwrongwrong.


Case in point.

I know exactly where the objects that enter the black hole go. Down his esophagus, and into his belly.

Case in point.

Monday
5:30 pm, he ingests a heaping bowl of raisin bran cereal.

6:00 pm, he inhales two full center cut pork chops (3 inches thick), and a full load of carrots and peas.

6:30 pm, he chows down on a grilled cheese sammich and a bowl of tomato soup.

10:00 pm. he is "peckish' before bedtime, and makes four slices of toast with pb and j.

plus a large glass of milk with each "snack"

any wonder I can't get ahead????


OY!!! :shock:

How much milk do you go through?

That is our largest volume.

1 gallon every other day.

And everyone else here just uses it for coffee or cereal.

I get a free gallon after buying 6 so that helps a little.

The video is gone.

Yesterday I broke out the bread machine and made a loaf since Stephen hadn't been feeling well and he loves fresh-baked bread. 3 hours and 40 minutes to bake it; 3.4 seconds to inhale it.

Okay, maybe 3 minutes, 40 seconds. Mini-me got a slice because he was in the kitchen. I should have just tossed it in the air and let 'em go at it like wolverines...

I can't believe he had that long dry spell between 6:30PM and 10:00PM!
At least he's not filling up on junk food. :shock:

Since I ate left-handed, I got the foot of the table. I recall cutting a piece of meat, and when I lifted my fork, my sister who sat just to the left of me grabbed it off my fork with her bare hands and ate it! And we were teenagers at the time!

We're actually still good friends, but you had to work quickly in my house if you wanted the food or the clean laundry. And I had three sisters....

Kroger's had that here for a while -- a free gallon after 10, which was great. The program lasted only a few months -- rumor was it was killing them. I'm betting it was the red tape of administration of it that killed it, not the free milk.

That's why I don't iron. If I ironed an outfit, it would be gone from my closet and I'd find it on my sister's body when I got to school!

Very poor understanding of a black hole if the writers/producers of the video think that is a black hole.

Worm hole, possibly, but never a black hole.

The Black Hole, Where the On topic post go.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Are you implying the Beatles didn't really all live in a yellow submarine??
