- That's about 22 minutes more than I'd need. nm - Dignan Mar 9, 15:16
One for the "correlation is not causation" files. But it's an interesting correlation. -- (link) - mara Mar 9, 15:14 1
- "this is why planes don't carry insulin" ... that commenter wins. heheh. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 15:18
Roast of Bill Shatner on Netflix Streaming is a LOT funnier without any of the bleeps. -- nm - Qale Mar 9, 15:10
Heh. In this Salon article about The Simpsons, the author tries to explain the "Springfield Squares" spoof as if it's to his son -- (link) - con_carne Mar 9, 15:08 2
- He points out himself that not all jokes in that episode reference pop culture of that specific era. - Mop (209 lbs) Mar 9, 15:14 1
  - I would argue that WORKER AND PARASITE is timeless. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 15:23
the rats on the Titanic didn't scurry away as fast as the refs in the Big East game -- (link) - Beaker Mar 9, 14:57 1
- pills, wills, suicide, the Titanic... just a morbid ST board all around. -- nm - con_carne Mar 9, 15:03
Hmm. This article ends with the statistic that cyberbullying causes 19,000 attempted suicides a year. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Mar 9, 14:47 9
- National Institute of Mental Health says about 375,000 suicide attempts in the US in 2007... and 1 out of 11 result in death -- nm - stewie Mar 9, 14:54 4
  - Out of how many kids? They're saying one in 789 cyber-bullied kids attempt suicide. nm - Dignan Mar 9, 14:57 1
    - that number isn't just kids -- nm - stewie Mar 9, 14:58
  - 9% success rate? No Child Left Behind really is woefully lagging. -- nm - TFox Mar 9, 14:55 1
    - really? 9% is totally an F grade -- nm - ceregon Mar 9, 15:01
- I would very carefully check the source of that number. -- nm - Mop (209 lbs) Mar 9, 14:52
- I wonder how many suicide attempts there are per year caused by regular bullying -- nm - Roger More Mar 9, 14:51 2

    - You got it. -- nm - Max Mar 9, 15:18
I feel like a dork. I didn't realize the % on the nutritional labels were for a 2,000 calorie diet. So if I'm on a 1,500 - 1,875 one that matters. -- nm - Qale Mar 9, 14:39 18
- I ignore the percentages and read the amounts instead. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 14:45 2
  - Yes. I should be doing this with fat. Rather than look at % look at grams. 39-68 for me. -- nm - Qale Mar 9, 14:47 1
    - yeah, the percent is based on a lot of assumptions. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 14:47
- At the risk of sounding like an even bigger dork, wouldn't the percentages remain the same? *confused* -- nm - mara Mar 9, 14:42 12
  - I dunno. Math is hard. - Qale Mar 9, 14:49 2
    - it sounds like the declarations are made to confuse more than to help -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 9, 14:51
    - counting the grams really is easier. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 14:50
  - it depends on what nutrient we're talking about. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 14:45 7
    - if the nutrient has zero calloris nomatter the amout then thats true - Danedukenuuk Mar 9, 14:47 6
      - We have sneaky water over here Dane. They put stuff in it. -- nm - Qale Mar 9, 14:47 2

        Nice. -- nm - Qale Mar 9, 14:51
      - Let's say Vitamin D. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 14:47 2
        
        actually i have no idear if Vitamins have calories or not -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 9, 14:48 1
        
        they don't. And the recommended daily amount is not based on your caloric intake. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 14:49
  - not if they are calculated based on someone eating 2,000 calories a day. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 9, 14:45
- Then you probably also didn't realize that if there are 5 or less calories per serving they can legally claim it has 0 calories -- nm - stewie Mar 9, 14:41 1
  - No, I didn't, but I don't think that's necessarily my problem. It was more wondering why the bigger items weren't adding up. I give some things passes - Qale Mar 9, 14:44
