If you ate really, really efficiently, would you still poop?

He says, "in a perfect world, no poop. Sadly that is not the case. You would still poop."

I think a better question might be, "If you ate in an extremely efficient manner how much poop would you produce?"  Then we could all do an experiment or something.  Right now I don't eat very effeciently so I poop quite a bit.

We may never know because as of now we can only trace the big bang back to the instant after it happened, not the instant it did happen or before.

The Dr. says,"the big bang was bigger than Beiber, but not as big as the previous big bang. (Scientific American says there has likely been more than one.) And the time elapsed before the big bang was longer than it takes to read Gods and Generals."

Ok, when you lift weights you are ripping/tearing your muscle tissues.  When they grow back, they grow back bigger etc.  My question is, when do they start growing back so if I lift those muscles again I will just do damage or be counter-productive.  Like, I am ripping through bicep curls, get a super important phone call from a fellow goEMAW board member, can I go back after 30-45 min?

At what point in evolution did tails become not useful? I would love to be able to turn corners faster and have an extra prehensile limb.

I'm no doctor, but I would guess tails lost their value as primates moved out of trees. The added balance just wasn't needed on the ground.

I think Trim's question about muscle tearing answers this.  Also, I think the time period in your question answers Trims.


That's right folks, a perfect pair of questions.   :surprised:

Time being a human construct, it didn't exist. And, since time is merely a human construct that is quite specific to Earth's rotation and our planet's orbit around the sun, any explanation of time before the big bang would be incomprehensible to us since we wouldn't have any frame of reference. That is provided anything existed before the big bang.

You can very easily test this.  Give your dog cheap, horrible Walmart dog food for like a month, then get him a premium food for a month and see the difference in poops.  He will thank you very much for not being a cheap bastard anymore.

How do "chills" work?  Like when you get "chills" from witnessing something awesome.

Space is always depicted as being at night.  Shouldn't parts of space that are closer to the sun be in daylight?

1.  Getting "chills" is usually typical of people who were weaned off of their mommy's teets before they were ready.

2.  Let me use an analogy I think you will understand:  Imagine your computer screen is the sun and your mom's dark basement, where you live, is outer space.  Even though the screen emits light, the basement is so dark and pathetic that it remains almost completely dark.  The light from the computer screen "lights up" only the few objects in the room, like your twin bed and and your mom when she comes down to gather up your dishes and take them up to the kitchen. Much like how the sun only "lights up" objects in outer space like planets but not the space itself.  HTH.

T-Y, Doc.  On the space question, that analogy helps, but what is the object being lit up when I look into the day-lit clear sky during the time when our side of the Earth is facing the sun?  For the purposes of this analogy, pretend I leave the basement and go outside once in a while.

Everyone else, I'd like a 2nd (or more) opinion on the chills question.

Think about what happens whenever you approach a group of girls.  They scatter in all directions, right? Well, that's what happens to blue light rays as they enter our atmosphere thus making the sky appear blue. In space (your mom's basement) there is no atmosphere (girls) so it just appears black.

Hairs standing on end (piloerection / goosebumps) is a holdover from evolutionary history.  Chimps and other primates have their hairs stand up to make them look bigger when faced with a potentially threatening situation.  Piloerection also conveys that a primate is agitated or nervous to other members of its own species.  This reflex also helps increase insulation when cold, hence the link between the "chills" and goosebumps.

Not all farts are high in flammable methane.  Many are primarily bubbles of swallowed air or are high in CO2 (ex. from beer), which will not ignite.

Coors Light causes high amounts of methane. Or so I've been told.
