Anchorwoman Not Sure If Sphincter Is Word She Is Looking For

Balloon Swallow by Tonya Kay

chingalera says...

Those long balloons will compact into your mouth pretty easily when they aren't blown up to capacity-Otherwise she suppresses her gag reflex and fills her esophagus, easy-peasy-Not hard for anyone with a bit of practice- Whoa, raw vegan and practitioner of chaos magick...What a gal, eh??

I've seen this many times in videos before. No way can she be swallowing all that. notice she doesn't pull it back out. There is a trick to this. Not sure how they do it, but even the displacement of air in her body is unballanced, not to mention that the balloon would stop as it hit the stomach.

3 Year Old Mensa Member Has To Go Poopy!

bareboards2 says...

I just shared this story privately with radx. True story:

I know a couple, very very smart. Finally decided to wean their (very very smart and verbal) child at 2 1/2 years old.

At a daytime party, time for a nap, so daddy brings the little girl home.

Well. This is tragic. Has to leave the party. Mom didn't come with her, since she is being weaned, which emphasizes the weaning process.

She keeps calling her dad in -- I need a drink, I need a story -- she just won't go to sleep.

Finally, daddy gets fed up and on the eighth trip into her room, says "This is the last time, you have a take a nap."

And how does this 2 1/2 year old respond to this indignity?

I swear this is true -- her dad told me right after it happened --

She said, "You must concede that I am lonely and afraid."

Her father also told me that she accompanied him to the dentist and had brought along her plastic frog. She surprised the dentist by talking about the frog's "esophagus". She liked to pretend read by flipping to the back of the book to the index and flipping back to the body of the book.

She is 12 now. Happy and friendly and well adjusted.

Honest Movie Trailers - "Titanic 3D"

Those are all anatomically correct descriptions of you laughing yourself to shitz, but did you climactic instead of climatic? Seriously, I don't need to be rated for this comment. I am just curious...

Ah, shit--you mean they drown in the end?

edit-

I have to add...that these trailers are killing me. I'm fairly certain I've disconnected my esophagus from it's muscle connections to the interior and exterior walls of the chest cavity, as I'm in great pain due to my laughing. I'm certain that my vocal chords are also on the verge of spilling outward--inside out, as it were, and falling into my stomach where they will be digested as I writhe in pain; hopefully as I'm still watching more of these trailers at the moment of this horrendous, but part and parcel event that must be paid when it comes to true comedy--yet still as the just previous moment had occurred the climatic conclusion is yet to be finished--so as the video and sound trickle into my helpless mind the brute humiliating force of my laughing will be unattaching my retinas and blood vessels will begin to pop as I finally reach what comedians and entertainers aspire to instill in their audience the near opium maxim, that says that I may have a stroke at any second and die: the oxygen deprivation moment of laughing Zen. I love them, I love their trailers. So does my doctor and the hospital's chief surgeon.
P.S.- I just had to add something over the top... Sorry for the two upvotes if you hate my cavalcade of craziness edit .

Tempura Tarantula: How to Eat a Bug (Bug Appetit!)

I thought for a while he was just going to ignore mentioning the fangs - that'd be a bit of a shock to get a nice pair of tarantula fangs stuck in your esophagus I think.

Bill Maher on the Fallacy of 'Balance'

Winstonfield_Pennypacker says...

Hm - how to put this...

1. Ol' BM has a point when he says that the "Sanity/Fear" rally might as well have just come out and said it was a liberal counter-protest. Because that's what it was. Stewart can try to pop his clown nose off and on all he wants, but his rally was a bought & paid for liberal event. Old HuffPo bought & paid for the bussing. Unions also bought & paid for attendance. The standard array of leftist ding-dongs were the 'entertainment'. But it was a "non-political" rally? Pht - yeah - right...

2. And of course Bill has it 100% wrong when it comes to which side is the one "talking news" and which side is playing with its own poo. The election proved it. Over 65% of the nation rejected libralism and leftist policies - and Barak Obama's agenda specifically. Bill Maher is NOT firmly camped in middle America with all the normal folks. It is Bill Maher, and all those who agree with his leftist dogma, who are the ones dribbling their lips while they drool in a corner. Bill Maher, Olbermann, MadCow, and all the other leftist media are the freaks and kooks here. There are freaks and kooks on both sides to be sure, but for Bill to act like his positions are 'normal' and only the positions of guys like Beck are 'extreme'? If he really believes that then he's got his head so far up his own butt that he can french kiss his own esophagus.

Christopher Hitchens has cancer!

RedSky says...

Wikipedia: Esophageal cancer

Prognosis

In general, the prognosis of esophageal cancer is quite poor, because so many patients present with advanced disease: The overall five-year survival rate (5YSR) is less than 5%. Individualized prognosis depends largely on stage. Those with cancer restricted entirely to the esophageal mucosa have about an 80% 5YSR, but submucosal involvement brings this down to less than 50%. Extension into the muscularis propria (muscular layer of the esophageus) has meant a 20% 5YSR and extension to the structures adjacent to the esophagus results in a 7% 5YSR. Patients with distant metastases (who are not candidates for curative surgery) have a less than 3% 5YSR.

Canadian TV Show Destroys a Snake Oil Salesman

Shepppard says...

@westy:

It started off just as fun. It's a silly product and they treated it as such, he said it cures everything, but he hadn't mentioned anything serious.

"It cures hepatitis" some forms of hepatitis can heal themselves naturally.
"It cures arthritis" you know what else can cure arthritis? Exercising the affected area.
"It cures flu's including 'H1N1" a flu bug is gone generally in two days, water isn't going to help.
"It cures pinkeye in two days" Pinkeye is usually gone after 2-3 days.
"It cures heartburn, swallow it down, within a few seconds heartburn is gone" Heartburn is caused by gastric acid going back up the esophagus, any liquid is going to relieve heartburn temporarily.

All of this is stupid stuff, they don't NEED to get upset at this point because all he's doing is selling expensive water. At this point, he's not doing anything wrong but swindling a few people out of their money if they're silly enough to believe him. They tell him so, and ask him to be on his way, they're obviously not backing his product.

Once he says that it's able to cure cancer, it's a whole different story. Cancer treatments can be a variety of things, distilled water is not one of them. People with terminal cancer can be so desperate for a better cure they'll believe people like this, and buy from him instead of getting a REAL cure, some may even take themselves off things like Kemo in lieu of this, and that's basically just signing their death warrent.

It doesn't necessarily have to be cancer, any terminal illness would have upset them. Anybody who profits on selling false hope to others is a disgrace, and should be treated as such, as he was.

Now, as for "Selling religious things", where's the harm in that? As long as they're not selling holy water that cures cancer, all they're doing is selling a book, or a cross.

According of many researchers Alcohol and Drug addiction is simply defined as a compulsive need for an intoxicating liquid that is obtained from fermented grain or fruit. These liquids include beer, wine, and other hard liquors. it says like every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism. and Alcohol addiction may also inflame the mouth, esophagus, and stomach, and could cause cancer in these areas, especially in drinkers who also smoke. Have a desire to stop the Alcohol and Drug addiction. You must have a serious desire to stop from being an alcoholic.

Never Get Busted Again... Tips from an ex-cop

Fade says...

Talk out your arse much cobalt?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_issues_and_the_effects_of_cannabis

[edit] Toxicity
According to the Merck Index,[2] the LD50 (dosage lethal to 50% of rats tested) of Δ9-THC by inhalation is 42 mg/kg of body weight. That is the equivalent of a man weighing 75 kg (165 lb) inhaling the THC found in 21 grams of extremely high-potency (15% THC) marijuana all in one sitting, assuming no THC is lost through smoke loss or absorption by the lungs. For oral consumption, the LD50 for male rats is 1270 mg/kg, and 730 mg/kg for females—equivalent to the THC in about a pound of 15% THC marijuana.[3] The ratio of cannabis material required to saturate cannabinoid receptors to the amount required for a fatal overdose is 1:40,000.[4] There have been no reported deaths or permanent injuries sustained as a result of a marijuana overdose. It is practically impossible to overdose on marijuana, as the user would certainly either fall asleep or otherwise become incapacitated from the effects of the drug before being able to consume enough THC to be mortally toxic. According to a United Kingdom government report, using cannabis is less dangerous than tobacco, prescription drugs, and alcohol in social harms, physical harm and addiction.[5]





[edit] Confounding combination
The most obvious confounding factor in cannabis research is the prevalent usage of other recreational drugs, including alcohol and tobacco.[6] One paper claims marijuana use can increase risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. [7] Such complications demonstrate the need for studies on cannabis that have stronger controls, and investigations into the symptoms of cannabis use that may also be caused by tobacco. Some people question whether the agencies that do the research try to make an honest effort to present an accurate, unbiased summary of the evidence, or whether they "cherry-pick" their data, and others caution that the raw data, and not the final conclusions, are what should be examined.[8]

However, contrasting studies have linked the smoking of cannabis to lung cancer and the growth of cancerous tumors.[9][10][11][12] A 2002 report by the British Lung Foundation estimated that three to four cannabis cigarettes a day were associated with the same amount of damage to the lungs as 20 or more tobacco cigarettes a day.[13] Some of these finding may be attributed to the well-known custom that many British citizens often mix tobacco with marijuana. It should also be noted that a recent study conducted at a lab in UCLA has found no link between marijuana usage and lung cancer.[citation needed]

Cannabis also has a synergistic toxic effect with the food additive Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and possibly the related compound butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). The study concluded, "Exposure to marijuana smoke in conjunction with BHA, a common food additive, may promote deleterious health effects in the lung." BHA & BHT are man-made fat preservatives, and are found in many packaged foods including: plastics in boxed Cereal, Jello, Slim Jims, and more. [14]


[edit] Memory
Cannabis is known to act on the hippocampus (an area of the brain associated with memory and learning), and impair short term memory and attention for the duration of its effects and in some cases for the next day[15]. In the long term, some studies point to enhancement of particular types of memory.[16] Cannabis was found to be neuroprotective against excitotoxicity and is therefore beneficial for the prevention of progressive degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease.[17] A 1998 report commissioned in France by Health Secretary of State Bernard Condevaux and directed by Dr. Pierre-Bernard Roques determined that, "former results suggesting anatomic changes in the brain of chronic cannabis users, measured by tomography, were not confirmed by the accurate modern neuro-imaging techniques," (like MRI). "Moreover, morphological impairment of the hippocampus [which plays a part in memory and navigation] of rat after administration of very high doses of THC (Langfield et al., 1988) was not shown (Slikker et al., 1992)" (translated). He concluded that cannabis does not have any neurotoxicity as defined in the report, unlike alcohol and cocaine.[18][19][20]


[edit] Adulterated cannabis
Contaminants may be found in hashish when consumed from soap bar-type sources[21]. The dried flowers of the plant may be contaminated by the plant taking up heavy metals and other toxins from its growing environment[22]. Recently, there have been reports of herbal cannabis being adulterated with minute (silica [usually glass or sand], or sugar} crystals in the UK and Ireland. These crystals resemble THC in appearance, yet are much heavier, and so serve again to increase the weight, and hence street value of the cannabis[23].


[edit] Pregnancy
Studies have found that children of marijuana-smoking mothers more frequently suffer from permanent cognitive deficits, concentration disorders, hyperactivity, and impaired social interactions than non-exposed children of the same age and social background.[24][25] A recent study with participation of scientists from Europe and the United States, have now identified that endogenous cannabinoids, molecules naturally produced by our brains and functionally similar to THC from cannabis, play unexpectedly significant roles in establishing how certain nerve cells connect to each other. The formation of connections among nerve cells occurs during a relatively short period in the fetal brain. The study tries to give a closer understanding of if and when cannabis damages the fetal brain[26][27].[28]

Other studies on Jamaica have suggested that cannabis use by expectant mothers does not appear to cause birth defects or developmental delays in their newborn children.[29][30] In a study in 1994 of Twenty-four Jamaican neonates exposed to marijuana prenatally and 20 non exposed neonates comparisons were made at 3 days and 1 month old, using the Brazelton Neonatal Assessment Scale, including supplementary items to capture possible subtle effects. Results showed there were no significant differences between exposed and nonexposed neonates on day 3. At 1 month, the exposed neonates showed better physiological stability and required less examiner facilitation to reach organized states. The neonates of heavy-marijuana-using mothers had better scores on autonomic stability, quality of alertness, irritability, and self-regulation and were judged to be more rewarding for caregivers. This work was supported by the March of Dimes Foundation.[31]


[edit] Cancer
On 23 May 2006, Donald Tashkin, M.D., Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA in Los Angeles announced that the use of cannabis does not appear to increase the risk of developing lung cancer, or increase the risk of head and neck cancers, such as cancer of the tongue, mouth, throat, or esophagus.[32]The study involved 2252 participants, with some of the most chronic marijuana smokers having smoked over 22,000 marijuana cigarettes.[32][33][34][35] The finding of Donald Tashkin, M.D., and his team of researchers in 2006 refines their earlier studies published in a Dec. 17th 2000 edition of the peer-reviewed journal Cancer Epidemiology Biomarker and Prevention.[12] Many opponents of marijuana incorrectly cite the original finding of UCLA Medical Center from 2000 as "proof" that marijuana leaves the users at higher risk for cancer of the lung, and cancerous tumors,[9] even though the researchers at the UCLA Medical Center have revised their finding with a more in-depth study on the effects of the use of marijuana. This seemed to contradict assumptions made after some studies, like those from Dale Geirringer et al., which found that 118 carcinogens were produced when marijuana underwent combustion, and two carcinogens {2-Methyl-2, 4(2H-1-benzopyran-5-ol) & 5-[Acetyl benz[e]azulene-3,8-dione} formed when marijuana underwent vaporization with the Volcano Vaporizer.[36] To help explain this seemingly chemical proof of carcinogenity inherent in the process of combustion, Tashkin noted that "one possible explanation for the new findings, he said, is that THC, a chemical in marijuana smoke, may encourage aging cells to die earlier and therefore be less likely to undergo cancerous transformation."[32]

LadyBug says...

it's actually a small private lutheran academy, halon.

i think we squirm when we see this because humans are so into their own individuality ... we can't imagine another person always being there with us. if you were born this way it would not seem abnormal to you to ... go to the bathroom, explore your body, take a shower, etc ... i think the hensel's have done a beautiful job raising their daughters!


In reply to your comment, wumpus:

I wish I had seen the whole documentary too since I have questions of my own...like since they share the same body, does one head do all the eating? no, they each eat and have their own likes/dislikes and do not share an esophagus nor stomach ... they do, however, share a large and small intestine.

If they get hurt, do they feel the same pain? it depends on where they were injured ... if it was the left arm or leg, then abby feels the pain ... if it's on the right, then brittany feels the pain.

Also since they have separate brains, does one have primary motor control, or do they often come into conflict? this is why i felt choggie's original comment was out of place ... abby & brittany possess some of the most amazing qualities in cooperation, compromise, and conflict resolution. since birth, they have figured out how to run, walk, clap, drive, pass papers back and forth, swim, bike ride, play piano, send emails, etc ... this is only possible through their learned coordination with each other.

Can one feel happy while the other feels sad? absolutely!! in their own words, they are “just two people…stuck together.
