The easy fix involves electromagnets in the floors? Can't say I'm surprised this is still a problem then.

Bolt + Table + Floor = Problem Solved. The chairs would still move around, but they'd hit into the tables like Plinko chips, and that would be even more fun to watch.>> ^Yogi:

This is such an easy fix...electro magnets under the floor with metal bottom'd tables and chairs. Have an emergency bottom that triggers the magnets. Sure you might get some people pinned with their cheap jewelry but at least they won't roll around.

I went fishing with some friends a few months ago. Didn't catch anything, but one of the fishermen nearby gave us a fish out of sympathy. We kept fishing for a couple of hours after that, and the fish was wiggling in the bag for the whole time.
After we were done, we figured it was dead for sure. We grabbed the bag, and he started wiggling like mad again. We got back, put it in the trunk and drove home. After about 45 minute of a drive, we got there, opened the trunk, and it was still wiggling.
We went upstairs and started debating on the best way to end it's life. 30 minutes of bashing it against marble didn't stop it's wiggling. At some point my friend just said screw it, and gutted / skinned it while it was still moving.
It was certainly one of the weirdest things I can remember.


So for like, 5 hours, you thought it was still alive and didn't do anything, and then when you finally got uncomfortable, you decided to bludgeon it against marble for half an hour straight?

Jackass . Poor fish!

How is this different from killing a fish by hitting the head with a hammer and then gutting it? The only difference really is that seals have harder skulls and thus may need to be hit two or three times before they stop moving completely (the first hit probably kills 95% of them, but some still move just like a headless chicken would).

By the way, rifles are used to kill adult seals, since they move too fast on ice. But of course you don't see that because it's not "brutal" enough. What you see in the videos is always hunting of 12 to 15 days old seals who have begun molting (their pelt changes from white to grey). These can be killed with only the hakapik since they can't move fast enough to escape a killing blow.

In Norway, a veterinary must be aboard each ship. Still the Norwegian rules for seal hunting state that : "Adult seals that are more than one year old must be shot in the head with expanding bullets, and can not be clubbed to death. The hakapik shall be used to ensure that the animal is dead. This is done by crushing the skull of the shot adult seal with the short end of the hakapik, before the long spike is thrust deep into the animal's brain. The seal shall then be bled by making an incision from its jaw to the end of its sternum. The killing and bleeding must be done on the ice, and live animals may never be brought onboard the ship. Young seals may be killed using just the hakapik, but only in the before mentioned manner, i.e. they need not be shot." (From wikipedia) Also, "In 2007 the European Food Safety Agency confirmed that the animals are put to death faster and more humanely in the Norwegian sealing than in large game hunting on land." The only difference with Canada I think is that Canadian hunters don't have to bleed them on the ice.

The debris is still there, it's just zoomed out and not on fire anymore. Look on the left side after the shake, just over the house. You can see a few black objects still falling.


Ya, you have to remember where they debris was before the cut away. Right as it cuts away, it is nearly at the same level as the upward moving shroom. We come back so you would expect the shroom to still be going upward and debris still moving downward but it has panned out so much it is hardly visible...but you can see it below (way below) the shroom after it tapers off a bit.

How can a baby with no Cerebrum laugh?

The neurons that inervate the facial muscles are intact in the brainstem, so the baby can still move and display certain reflexes despite the lack of conscious control.

It's interesting that religious people can still consider this a miracle. It's like, lets attribute the survival of this baby to God, and the fact that the baby was born WITHOUT A BRAIN, well, that's just bad luck. Self delusion: the only way to reconcile religion with reality.

LOL! I had that in Japan. That sushi was f'ing AMAZING. Initially my wife and I (who is Japanese) were detracted by it still moving. But ultimately it came down to. The thing died for us, and not having it would be far more cruel.

Would I have it again? Ya betcha *wink*
