Now your just making it up!

*waves two molecular genetics degree certificates around until chaser_fan's ears bleed*

zoxxy - Yes, even GT40s. Imagine receiving a GT40 in the genitals at 205mph.


Fascinating fact I heard today - and it's not going in my signature - is that beaver's anal glands secrete a substance containing salicylic acid (aspirin). Fun, huh?

Good to know in case you ever run out of the stuff in the pill form...

And all this time I was wondering why I never have headac ... Get back here you flat-tailed, good for nothing, tree gnawing rodent!
 
Hey Brain dude what happened to the other 4 states did thier molecules get absorbed ? Or did the painfull beavers rectal glands absorb them ? I have a certificate in beer absorbtion that trumps your molecule certs ! bwaaaaaa hahahahahahahaha. gimme beer..

A-ha! Someone noticed the signature... :D It's the first of my three weekly fascinating facts anyone's commented on (Previous one: Woodpeckers have an ear on the end of their tongue; Ancient Greeks made dildoes out of bread).

But it's true. The USA consists of only 46 States - I was under the impression that ALL good Americans knew this... :D

If it gives you a headache, rim a beaver.
 
There aren't any other States. The United States of America has 46 States.
 
stop that or give me beaver ass for my head ache..explain why I have 46 states you sot.
 
No.

Okay, I'll give you a clue. Massachusetts doesn't count.
 
The extra one was Washington D.C. It's not a State either, but it's never counted in the 50 which is really 46.

Yep, District of Columbia gets Electoral votes and counts in election. You'll have to put us out of our misery...what makes a territory qualify to be state. Is it local government or is it because the Bee Gees have sung about it that disqualifies it :lol:
 
Nothing really. It's just that Kentucky, Pennysylvania, Massachusetts and Virginia are all Commonwealths, not States. The clue is in the capital letter in "States" :D

I see :)

@daan: I get a "cannot find server" on that answerbag.com site

:lol: Apart from ruining this "aspyrin" "aspirin" thread I'm learning trivia, but Famine that new sig is crazy... the Capybara is my favourite rodent :lol: its just sooo big for a rat ;) Where did those Catholic biologists find scales on a capybara. I suppose it's no worse than all the vegetarian girls I know, telling me that fish is not meat ;)....obviously they are vegetables...
 
so how do you get some meat into a vegitarian ? seems it would be a boring way to get along with her being .."meatless " A tofu " sheath " perhaps ? i'll have to ask daaaaan he would know, he gives faminin all his brain storms.
 
Regularly.

(my girlfriend is a vegetarian)... :D
 
Or you could use rotted animal flesh to enrich the soil you grew vegetables in :D

But Famine's way is better. Unless it is a straight male vegetarian... (Guess who it is!)

Indeed - bonemeal is regularly used to enrich soil, although it's usually fish-derived. That said, pig poo is used to enrich soil too and pigs are omnivorous (literally) and their poo likely contains several species of bacteria nad egss from Taenius solium, the pork tapeworm.
 
Famine

Edit: Aspirin Toxicity Information:
Aspirin should not be given to children with a fever, as it can cause "Reye's Disease"
The toxic level for Aspirin in adults is roughly 60mg/kg/day.

Two things the nurse in me couldn't resist. The first being dosage calculation.
at the levels that Famine has given we are talking roughly 4500mg in one day for a 75kg person. That would be roughly 14-20 aspirin at one sitting. (I don't know if it would actually kill you, but I bet you wouldn't feel too whoopee)
I'd have to add that you'd likely have to do something like cut yourself severely on top of the aspirin. Because ASA (aspirin) also works as a mild anticoagulant. This is why cardiolgists recommend a baby ASA (81mg) daily to heart attack survivors.

The other thing I could resist telling y'all is that the active ingredient in Rat poison is Warfarin Sodium. For those of you that have heart conditions you know it as Coumadin. It is a powerful (in some people) anticoagulant that is used to keep blood clots from forming.
So in rats, other rodentia, and humans, the consumption of much warfarin eventually leads to internal bleeding and death. Though I've met people that can take quite a bit before their bleeding times change significantly.,
