I amended it, Hopefully your taste buds are not sour.

Interesting.. it's not really known if dolphins use pheromones for communication. Although, it has been suggested that males may detect female sexual receptivity using pheromone cues. Dolphins lack a sense of smell (no olfactory bulb in adults), and there is no known vomeronasal organ. So, these chemical cues would need to be picked up by the taste buds or some other sensory stucture.

The male is clearly aroused, but dolphins are so generally horny that it would be risky to assume that his behaviour is a direct result of any cues he's getting from that woman's crotch.

There is a finite number of true things and an infinite number of false things you can say about the universe. Therefore any statement you make without evidence is infinitely more likely to fall into the infinite false category than it is to fall into the limited true category.

As a statistician, I can with no malice inform you that the above statement is incorrect. Statistics does not presume to arrive at definitive conclusions. Statistics merely comment on probabilities in relation to the reliability and repeatability of a particular population of observations.

If there are an infinite number of false statements, and an infinite number of true statements, then the probability that is most likely is that any statement a person makes is likely to be both true and false relative to context.

I don't always agree with Teller. His logic is a bit haphazard. However, he does at least try to approach things fairly, and I respect that. Religion by its very definition is not a matter of physical observation. It is a matter of personal faith. As such, it is a qualitative observation rather than a quantitative. Attepting to cast the discusion in terms of 'proof' or 'statistics' is meaningless.

Many atheists/agnostics refuse to discuss religion unless it is confined to terms of experimental scientific methodology. Such an approach is futile. Discussing issues of faith using such limited terminology is like trying to discuss 'flavors' with someone who has no taste buds. There is no way you can wrap up and quantify the flavor "Vanilla" so as to make a man without taste understand it. With such a limited capacity for input the best you can do is give a soul-less, heartless, vague skeleton of the experience.

This makes me feel some empathy for them; but it's not strong enough to deviate my taste buds from having a big cheesy tuna melt with pickles.


Aw, poor fishy -- GET IN MY BELLY!

LOL nvm..you already voted for it.good taste bud.

I was raised up north in Canada, I was raised on Well Water.
I've been exposed to that crap some people are forced to endure (smells like eggs, feels like you can't rinse the shampoo from your hair, sometimes has a the red tinge of rust ect.) But the well water we grew up with was clean and pure, no water softener needed.

As well, the house I just sold (moved away from) up north had the best tasting well water I've seen, 100% clear, perfect taste, surpassed all water testing, no colouring ect. We could leave the sprinklers on 24 hours a day and the water would never run low. We were on a "Real" natural spring!

By comparison, My mom is on city tap water and her water sucks, the water tastes & smells like chlorine which they use to purify it. I can't drink that stuff unless it sits in the fridge for a day while the chlorine evaporates out of it.

So don't judge well water out of ignorance. Like everything else in the world, these is good and bad in everything! Trust me, I have very picky taste-buds, I know when the water is gross, and I also know what good water is and the "best I ever had came from a well!" - Quote me on it!

>> ^PHJF:
I would die before drinking well water (even showering is bad enough, the smell is awful) but tap water is great. And I get water with a (free!) lemon slice at restaurants, but only to save money. Lemon slices make any water delectable. Except well water.

HA!!! That's awesome! I totally did this to my seven-year-old nephew once! I thought someone was stealing candy from my pantry and he had been over a lot so I set up a little surprise.

Then on Christmas when everyone was over he comes running into the living room screaming and pointing at his throat! That's right you thieving little fucker! How do you like your Snickers now! HAHAHAH!!!!11!1!!1

So anyway, the battery acid burned off most of his taste buds and vocal chords but other than that he's totally fine. And his parent's will never have to pay to have his tonsils taken out, so everyone wins! That'll teach the little shit...

1,000,000 scovilles would put you into incapacitating shock. It would literally burn your taste buds, as in destroy part of the cells.

Christy Shitnips! The President has taste buds? We're scrood.

My brother was a big fan of Frosted Flakes, but I never understood the point. I'd just as soon take a bowl of good ol' Corn Flakes and dump a couple tablespoons of sugar on it. We definitely agreed on the awesomeness of Froot Loops, though.

I know what you guys are saying about Cookie Crisp. I don't think my taste buds fully formed until sometime in college (which was a real shame growing up in New Orleans). Having tried them as an adult, I was surprised that I had liked it at all.


Anyone ever tried half & half on your cereal? I know, it sounds messed up, and I wouldn't recommend it daily, but it is a decadent indulgence everyone should try once.

I can see it working. Based on the salty-sweet combo that appeals to our taste buds, I bet it plays.

My criteria for a healthy diet, is simple. Take the information available to you that kings and kingdoms would have killed for in ancient times, and avail yourself of the internet, books, and histories of the healthiest cultures in the world with regard to diet.

Nuts
whole grains
Fish oils
fresh vegetables, cooked as little as possible.

Look to Japan, to India.....but fuck all, genetics and locale come into play as well.....I would die eating only blubber for 4 months straight, of a massive coronary prolly', but exskimoos do it, and they are healthy as fuck-all, some of em......

"I live in Wyoming,
I don't even own a gun."

yeah, some folks' and their shorted-out survival circuits....whadderya gonna do.

Some folks who eat nothing, are healthy as hell, some drink only fluids, same same.....and then folks like MINK and me, would rather take a higher gustatory path with regard to availability....I enjoy good game, meat, cheese, and the stuff I grow, eat more vegs., nuts, and grains, than anything else....Key is being in tune with one's environment, and listening to one's own body.....

If I could pick one nation's model for the perfect diet, it'd be Japan. Chinese, Vietnamese, Cambodains, anywhere where population collides with regime, are goats...cultural and social scenarios dictate..... Love organ meats, don't get me wrong, but fuck man, my taste buds dictate most of the time, and some Asian cultures have big brass balls I don't want!!!!
