Oh, poor Madonna. -- (link) - Amy Mar 25, 08:07 4
- who else looked in the background of that pic to see if they could find stacy? -- nm - dogbert Mar 25, 08:18
- never should have put Stacy in charge. -- nm - Beaker Mar 25, 08:18 1

- see, OAE? not that simple -- nm - moles Mar 25, 08:11
Thing I learned googling at 3am: 1/3 of humans have methane in their flatulence. No one knows why 1/3 do and 2/3 don't. -- nm - ty97 Mar 25, 08:06 17
- My guess: Gut flora. Perhaps methane-producing flora are affected by antibiotics - either encouraged or killed - and this explains the discrepancy -- nm - Beryllium Mar 25, 08:13
- Overshare: I think I have some problem eating light ice cream. Whenever I do, I get this horrible - oblique Mar 25, 08:12
- what else is it? -- nm - znufrii Mar 25, 08:08 4
  - [deleted]
  - mainly nitrogen and carbon dioxide, I believe -- nm - ty97 Mar 25, 08:10 1
    - fascinating -- nm - znufrii Mar 25, 08:11
  - cilantro -- nm - oblique Mar 25, 08:08
- why in god's name were you googling this? -- nm - loosilu Mar 25, 08:07 9
  - I wasn't specifically googling that, but it was part of something I was reading. - ty97 Mar 25, 08:12
  - His toots were keeping him awake! -- nm - Amy Mar 25, 08:11 7
    - or maybe he was trying to light them on fire and it wasn't working due to lack of methane? -- nm - loosilu Mar 25, 08:11 6
      - There is hydrogen though, which is also flammable. -- nm - ty97 Mar 25, 08:13 4
        
        burning hydrogen creates water vapor, I thought. -- nm - loosilu Mar 25, 08:13 3
        
        and also fire. lots of fire. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 25, 08:15 2
        
        See: Hindenburg Disaster -- nm - Beryllium Mar 25, 08:16 1
        
        oh, of course. -- nm - loosilu Mar 25, 08:17
      - this -- nm - oblique Mar 25, 08:12
fascinating -- (link) - znufrii Mar 25, 08:02
So, looks like we are going to put our daughter into Sylvain Learning for a bit - Beaker Mar 25, 08:02 2
- We put my daughter in tutoring for rading and math and it did wonders. - TWuG Mar 25, 08:19
- best wishes! -- nm - Don Homer Mar 25, 08:02
LIR, LYC: To me, the bad thing about eating on public transit - con_carne Mar 25, 07:52 34
- It's all about spilling stuff. -- nm - Amy Mar 25, 08:02
- to me, it's more about hygiene. Subways are dirty. i don't want to eat there. -- nm - loosilu Mar 25, 07:58 31
  - Which is something I mention in my IM :) -- nm - con_carne Mar 25, 08:07
  - don't eat off the floor then. I'm sitting in the chair, not eating off it -- nm - dogbert Mar 25, 07:59 10
    - would you eat in a public restroom? same principle. -- nm - loosilu Mar 25, 08:07 9
      - who the hell doesn't eat in a public restroom? -- nm - dogbert Mar 25, 08:09 1
        
        I need to know the name of your hospital, now. -- nm - loosilu Mar 25, 08:09
      - do you pee in the subway regularly? -- nm - oblique Mar 25, 08:07 6
        
        Urine is sterile. You've potty trained 2 kids! You never used this as a mantra? -- nm - Amy Mar 25, 08:12 3
        
        if only it was just about urine. -- nm - loosilu Mar 25, 08:14
        
        urine should be sterile -- nm - dogbert Mar 25, 08:13 1
        
        sfek: unfortunately work has given me the exciting opportunity to see and smell when it's not - dogbert Mar 25, 08:15
        
        define regularly -- nm - dogbert Mar 25, 08:09
        
        have you ever been on a subway? I promise you the drunks do that. -- nm - loosilu Mar 25, 08:08
  - if usually comes in its own container, its not like you have to eat it off of the seat... -- nm - znufrii Mar 25, 07:59 18
    - I touched things in there, so my hands are dirty. the air is dirty. -- nm - loosilu Mar 25, 08:00 17
      - are you eating with your bare hands? -- nm - znufrii Mar 25, 08:05 14
        
        Look, it's just kind of a bad habit, right? e.g. you wouldn't eat in your bathroom, would you? :) -- nm - con_carne Mar 25, 08:09 11
        
        why not? Mythbusters proved that aerosolized feces gets *everywhere* :) - znufrii Mar 25, 08:11 10
        
        the bottom line is, the subway smells like piss. It makes me not hungry. -- nm - loosilu Mar 25, 08:12 9
        
        Here, we have a thing with urine smell in the elevator *to* the platform, rather than the subway train itself -- nm - con_carne Mar 25, 08:16 1
        
        the elevator in my friend's old apartment building has this problem - znufrii Mar 25, 08:19
        
        you guys need cleaner subways, that's what i'm gathering from this thread. -- nm - Andie Mar 25, 08:14 5
        
        or stronger stomachs -- nm - dogbert Mar 25, 08:15 3
        
        yeah, that's another thing you find on the subway a lot. - loosilu Mar 25, 08:17 2
        
        I'm going to ask you to start speaking for your own experience only... :) -- nm - con_carne Mar 25, 08:19 1
        
        again ... standard in NYC. -- nm - loosilu Mar 25, 08:20
        
        you've been to NY, right? There's a reason why Letterman has a running joke that the official smell of NYC is urine. -- nm - loosilu Mar 25, 08:15
        
        fair enough. -- nm - znufrii Mar 25, 08:13
        
        I thought we established that no fork was involved! -- nm - loosilu Mar 25, 08:06 1
        
        there's a wrapper, at least? -- nm - znufrii Mar 25, 08:08
      - stop touching things -- nm - dogbert Mar 25, 08:00 1
        
        *suddenly wonders if you wash your hands before examining people* -- nm - loosilu Mar 25, 08:01
- who the hel;l doesn't eat on the train/subway? considering every time I'm on it I'm drunk, you better believe I have a breakfast platter from whatever - dogbert Mar 25, 07:57

    - Kidney stones? - lileve Mar 25, 08:08
- What did you eat? What have you been doing? -- nm - lileve Mar 25, 07:46 7
  - Doctor. - Spawn Mar 25, 07:46 6
    - That's what I'm thinking too. -- nm - lileve Mar 25, 07:48 5
      - I mean, he went. -- nm - Spawn Mar 25, 07:49 4
        
        Oh. -- nm - lileve Mar 25, 07:57
        
        (laughing.)(sorry, 97. I'm not being mean!!!) -- nm - amanda jones, transitarian Mar 25, 07:54 2
        
        argh, fired again? - ty97 Mar 25, 08:02
        
        Didn't know he went to the doctor! -- nm - lileve Mar 25, 07:57
Loosi: I think the smartphone aspect of WWF, combined with the push alerts for turns, make it more fun - Beryllium (iPhone) Mar 25, 07:41 5
- I actually have trouble moving the tiles where I want in WWF. lex is so much squarer. if someone wants to scrab me - amanda jones, transitarian Mar 25, 07:54
- I get Lexulous turn alerts. -- nm - Amy Mar 25, 07:43
- so, you get alerts on the phone, plus you alert each other on ST? - loosilu Mar 25, 07:42 2
  - ST is also a useful taunting tool -- nm - ML SI Mar 25, 07:49
  - I don't tend to use ST for alerts. Just bragging. (Warsled Incisors!) -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Mar 25, 07:43
Well, there goes my day. The Pokemon Trading Card online game just entered beta - oblique Mar 25, 07:38

- Butterstick was the only panda for me -- nm - Bacon Mar 25, 07:38 2

        understandable. - Mel Profit Mar 25, 07:43 2

- related to yours, if someone leaves beer in my fridge, I don't drink it. (mike! come drink the rest of your beer!) -- nm - amanda jones, transitarian Mar 25, 07:52 4

  - Does this rule apply to your flights? -- nm - Spawn Mar 25, 07:46

      - hey redmond, loosi needs you to try to use her corkscrew -- nm - dogbert Mar 25, 07:55 1
        
        it's actually pretty funny to watch a fool try to figure out a waiter's corkscrew. - loosilu Mar 25, 07:57
      - Exactly. If it doesn't fit in your pocket, it is not an elegant tool. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 25, 07:55 1
        
        no batteries needed, and it cost ten bucks. -- nm - loosilu Mar 25, 07:57

  - Doesn't the cap just twist off? ;) -- nm - Beryllium, soda aficionado Mar 25, 07:45
