Actually, while the sodium and caffeine in cola and similar beverages may have a (very, very) slight diurectic effect, you still retain more water from the beverage than the caffeine takes from your system. The same is true even of beer, though it's even more difficult to get people to believe that.


Sodium is not a diuretic, quite the opposite, it makes your body retain water. The added sodium in your bloodstream is counteracted by water flowing into it from your cells, your cells are then water deficient and send messages to your brain: "Drink Water!".

Have you ever had a Sierra mist? I need about a gallon water after one of those things. I think it's even caffeine free

This.

Ages ago I just knew it had to be wrong when my Mom told me this. I was gleeful when I was able to show her proof I was right all along.

Don't sweat the soda sodium when you're using it to wash down radroach meat.

Yes, soda actually does make you more thirsty due to the high sodium content.


And caffeine in colas etc.

Yes, soda actually does make you more thirsty due to the high sodium content.

I suspect it something similar to the symbiotic relationship between crocs and certain small birds that crawl into their mouths and clean their teeth. The hippos get their sodium or teeth cleaned or something, and the crocs don't get fucked up... seems like a fair trade off.

>> ^NinjaInHeat:
doesn't it look like the hippos are attracted to the scaly back as if it was some sort of plant?

I thought they maybe use it for cleaning their teeth/ gums.

Maybe crocodile skin is salty and they're just getting their daily sodium intake?

What, no suggestion to rape her? You're losing your edge, brother.

I think I can help you out. But you must follow these rules exactly as written.

1. Buy some essential items that will come into use later: two (2) thick muslin clothes (no smaller than 6"x6"), a 1/2 cc hypodermic needle/syringe, a pack of Mentos (your favorite flavor), a can of acetone from Home Depot, a bottle of common house bleach (sodium hypochlorite), a small metal pencil box, a twenty dollar bill, a pair of binoculars.
2. Using the pair of binoculars, watch your prey carefully for days to get his or her routine down.
3. Pinpoint a place where your prey is always alone, and leave a packet of Mentos nearby. You'll need to leave them hidden enough where they won't be easily detected by passers-by. You'll want them later.
4. Next, find a homeless man with AIDS. You can probably find one under a bridge near a hospital or AIDS clinic.
5. Pay him twenty bucks for a syringe full of his AIDS infested blood.
6. Place the syringe inside the pencil box so you don't stab yourself. This will allow for safe carry.
7. Soak one muslin cloth with acetone, and the other with bleach.
8. Wait at the secluded spot you picked out.
9. When your prey arrives, put the two muslin clothes together. A chemical reaction will occur when the acetone and bleach mix creating chloroform. Quickly place that over your prey's mouth and nose.
10. Once your prey is out, remove the syringe from the pencil box and inject the blood inside him or her.
11. Sit back and wait. You can locate your Mentos for added snacking enjoyment.
12. When your prey awakes, surprise him or her with the news of your prank!

I've been to the states many times, and we actually generally bring back boxes of Cereal, because we don't get them here

4. Lucky Charms
3. Oatmeal Crisp
2. Kix
1. Rice crispies treats

We used to love Rice Crispies treats so much, we'd actually buy them in bulk to bring back to Canada, it's basically like it sounds, crumbled up rice crispy squares, dried out to be made crunchy, and boxed up. Never sure how they pulled it off, because actual rice crispy squares are generally somewhat hard to bite into, and the cereal itself had the softness of biting into a regular spoonful of the original Cereal.

I miss that cereal.

He is saying "propanediol" & propylene glycol...
A quick wiki search tells me that propanediol can be formed by "Conversion from glycerol (a by-product of biodiesel production) using Clostridium diolis bacteria."
...so could bacteria be breaking down components of the oil into propanediol/propylene glycol? ...not necessarily that it had to have come from the Corexit? Just wondering....


"In response to public pressure, the EPA and Nalco released the list of the six ingredients in Corexit 9500, revealing constituents including sorbitan, butanedioic acid, and petroleum distillates.[3] Corexit EC9500A is mainly comprised of hydrotreated light petroleum distillates, propylene glycol and a proprietary organic sulfonate.[16] Environmentalists also pressured Nalco to reveal to the public what concentrations of each chemical are in the product; Nalco considers that information to be a trade secret, but has shared it with the EPA.[17] Propylene glycol is a chemical commonly used as a solvent or moisturizer in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, and is of relatively low toxicity. An organic sulfonate (or organic sulfonic acid salt) is a synthetic chemical detergent, that acts as a surfactant to emulsify oil and allow its dispersion into water. The identity of the sulfonate used in both forms of Corexit was disclosed to the EPA in June 2010, as dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate.[18]" wiki

Chyme (from Greek "χυμός" - khymos, "juice"[1][2]) is the semifluid mass of partly digested food expelled by the stomach into the duodenum. In other words, chyme is partially-digested food.[3]

Also known as chymus, it is the liquid substance found in the stomach before passing through the pyloric valve and entering the duodenum. It results from the mechanical and chemical breakdown of a bolus and consists of partially digested food, water, hydrochloric acid, and various digestive enzymes. Chyme slowly passes through the pyloric sphincter and into the duodenum, where the extraction of nutrients begins. Depending on the quantity and contents of the meal, the stomach will digest the food into chyme anywhere between 40 minutes and a few hours.

With a pH of around 2, chyme emerging from the stomach is very acidic. To raise its pH, the duodenum secretes a hormone, cholecystokinin (CCK), which causes the gall bladder to contract, releasing alkaline bile into the duodenum. The duodenum also produces the hormone secretin to stimulate the pancreatic secretion of large amounts of sodium bicarbonate, which raises the chyme's pH to 7 before it reaches the jejunum. As it is protected by a thick layer of mucus and utilizes the neutralizing actions of the sodium bicarbonate and bile, the duodenum is not as sensitive to highly acidic chyme as the rest of the small intestine.

At a pH of 7, the enzymes that were present from the stomach are no longer active. This then leads into the further breakdown of the nutrients still present by anaerobic bacteria which at the same time help to package the remains. These bacteria also help synthesize vitamin B and vitamin K.


****Ulcers are R-Tards

Yes and really make sure that you use sea salt. don't use regular sodium chloride, because sodium chloride from the sea tastes so much different from any other sodium chloride. in fact the difference is so big that you actually could taste it. that is if you were able to differ betweeen sodium chloride A and sodium chloride B....
