There are absolutely health problems associated with long-term fasting. Weight gain is actually an issue for many Muslims during Ramadan because people tend to move less during the day, sleep more and then binge on calorie dense foods.

The original submission and this video have now merged into the same storyline in my mind.

I don't know, imagining a loose acquaintance showing up to a work presentation and blasting a fight song on the clarinet is unsettling.

Eh, it's a little weird, but in the end, having a slice of pizza once a week after the gym is no worse than indulging in the smoothies/juices/fitness bars/protein "cookies"/etc other, more expensive gyms offer.

For what it's worth, Planet Fitness in Arlington let me and my fiance cancel with zero issues when we needed to. I did go in person though, hmmm.

In North Korea? There's not much heat in the building.

He also respects his mother: "Letcha Mamma talk." Seriously, Dallas, it's your mother, shut up.

1950s period dress can be look aging, partially because people associate it with old people now. She's wearing the same hairstyle there my grandmother has had my entire life.

I'd be really shocked if a textbooks didn't have any citations at all and would agree with you, but it's a little hard to tell the context of these quotes since they are all pulled. There are definitely a few sentences up there that would only be bolstered by hard numbers though.

I'd call it more of a "pointless point" than a "fair point." The Native American population wasliterally reduced by 90% by dozens of pandemics over a couple hundred years. Those diseases affected the course of history in a major way. It's a bit feeble to imply that fact is insulting to Europeans or should be balanced…

There's also a simple reality that joking, pressuring or even harassing women about their sexuality is much safer than doing the same to men. There's probably plenty of gay men who would throw out a wider net but realize there's a physical risk in doing so. Lesbians can afford more of a "there's no harm in asking"…

The very last entry is where absurdity peaks. $75 for 6 bags of dry pasta. Not even the fresh stuff. Dry pasta.

The full story behind that picture has been out for some time. When you see the full set of photos, and know that it was a party being held in Sophia's honor, you can't blame her for the withering look.

Wow, I'm loving Ji Nilsson's music and a lot of the related content. Go Scandinavia!

Somewhat more likely to kill you than the flu if you get it.

They appear to be available and reasonably priced on the web! Though I do run the risk of impulse buying a group of these guys on top of it.

I loved Skydancers and wasn't allowed to have any. My friend down the street had a bunch and making them fight in the air was half the fun.

The young woman's nose is a wart on the old woman's nose. Start from the girls nose, pretend its a wart, and track your eyes downward. Focusing on that keeps my eye from being pulled towards where the girl is looking.

I like Signs as well, and honestly, also liked The Village and feel it would have benefited from the same no-visible-monster treatment. Both of those films are interesting and work on a non-horror level, but they were marketed and seemingly intended as suspenseful, terror-filled thrillers.

Spot on. This is actually one of my favorite conversation starters with people. Asking people what kind of movies frighten them can be very enlightening.
