did you make up the quote in your sig about the moon crater? cuz if it's about how far you'd go for love, i dont think moon craters are a good example.. i mean, how deep do they actually go? not that deep meng. |
i've tried very hard to find the artist of that piccy....
that quote became stuck in my head a few weeks ago for some reason...it is from the "elektronik supersonik" parody video a few years ago.
quote "King Crater, on the Moon's farside, is 77 kilometers in diameter and more than 5 kilometers deep."
that's a pretty deep crater if you ask me, and it would take 77/2 kilometers to reach the deepest part :tongue2 |

You're right.. that's not far enough. My favorite example of love is best expressed by Puss in the boots in Shrek 2:
Fiona: "Shrek?"
Puss in the boots: "For you, I could be" :stongue: |

Tempted again today with an offer for a free pack at work, but I turned it down after thinking about cracking. It's been a very stresful week, as Ive already put in 40 hours for thanksgiving, with shifts on friday and saturday. Someguy mentioned he is looking for php programmers today though, so Ill be contacting him about a job friday.
So in short, a near crack tonight, but I resisted :D |

Dear Cecil:
We all know smoking cigarettes can kill you, but it seems to me that, as with most vices, there's a difference between use and abuse. People who drink too much destroy their livers, but people who have one drink of red wine per day actually help their hearts. I'll gladly accept the fact that smoking several packs a day is harmful, but what about having only three cigarettes a day, one after every meal? Does it really do any harm? Is there any chance it's actually good for you? --Michael Dare, Hollywood, California
Dear Michael:
Well . . . I hesitate to mention this. But after years of research saying that smoking was the worst threat to public health since the plague, several recent studies suggest it may have at least one health benefit: it prevents or at least slows the onset of Alzheimer's disease. For obvious reasons these reports have been accompanied by a certain amount of embarrassed hemming and hawing. From a big-picture standpoint smoking is definitely bad for you, and nobody wants to give people an excuse to do more of it.
Still, facts are facts. I quote: "A statistically significant inverse association between smoking and Alzheimer's disease was observed at all levels of analysis, with a trend towards decreasing risk with increasing consumption" (International Journal of Epidemiology, 1991). "The risk of Alzheimer's disease decreased with increasing daily number of cigarettes smoked before onset of disease. . . . In six families in which the disease was apparently inherited . . . the mean age of onset was 4.17 years later in smoking patients than in non-smoking patients from the same family" (British Medical Journal, June 22, 1991). "Although more data are needed . . . [an analysis of 19 studies suggests] nicotine protects against AD" (Neuroepidemiology, 1994). Nicotine injections significantly improved certain types of mental functioning in Alzheimer's patients (Psychopharmacology, 1992). One theory: nicotine improves the responsiveness of Alzheimer's patients to acetylcholine, an important brain chemical.
I know, I know. Now that chimney at work will claim he's keeping himself (and due to secondary smoke, you) from going senile. Tell him it's a little early to start gloating. Some of the research is contradictory. At least one scientist thinks smokers are less likely to develop Alzheimer's mainly because they die of smoking-related diseases first. Smoking isn't like low-to-moderate alcohol use, which is probably harmless and may even be beneficial. Although the data is unclear, many believe the relationship between smoking and disease is linear: the more you smoke, the greater your risk--but any smoking presents some risk. Right now the only known benefit of smoking is a societal one: if the heavy smokers die young, they won't deplete the retirement funds for everybody else. |
