How to Get Back Into a Dinghy if you Fall Out
Jinx says...A thousand hits huh?
*looks up youtube*
250,000 views and counting. Not bad.
Why Shouldn't You Take Medicine with Grapefruit Juice?
Jinx says...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomelo#Drug_interactions
Seems that grapefruit is actually a pomelo hybrid. So yah, I'd definitely ask your doc.
Hmm. I'm on blood pressure meds, and I like grapefruit. But I live in Thailand where grapefruits don't generally exist. I do eat quite a bit of pomelo, which seems very similar to a grapefruit but with an incredibly thick rind. I'll have to ask my doc if I should avoid mixing the two...

Should you shave your Pubes?
Jinx says...Yeah, I think nobody has ever isolated a specific chemical that humans produce that you could describe as a pheromone. But there have been studies that suggest that there is more to smell, than just, you know, the the odour.
At any rate, not washing your armpits/pubes probably not the best way to attract a mate. (Altho... horses for courses...)
Pheromones? I've seen quite a few of sciency clips from credible sources that say humans haven't been observed to have any pheromones.
Doctors of the Isle of Man TT
Jinx says...I very much recommend watching TT3D. Short review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEUKFoBt4Cw
I find it fascinating, but watching these things makes me so uncomfortable because it really feels like the glorification of an absurdly dangerous addiction.
Thor (Halvorssen) Hammers Fox's Anti-Sanders Piece
Jinx says...Some people don't know what Socialism means.
Bwahahaha
Sen. Elizabeth Warren to Republicans: Do Your Job
Jinx says...That's a democratically elected "extremist" tho. Plenty of dictatorships out there bob, you're welcome to pack your bags and go there if that's what you want.
She is full of shit.
Republicans are doing their job.
The President needs to submit a nominee to the senate decide whether or not to allow the nominee to become a Supreme Court Justice.
There no rule saying they HAVE TO appoint an OBAMA pick. They don't have to do jack.
Republicans are not bowing to extremest they are stopping extremest from derailing the country.
How to Land a 737 (Nervous Passenger)
Jinx says...I gotta imagine so. Even a botched attempted landing has got to be better than a crash right?
It's probably totally arrogant and selfish of me, but if I was in this situation *I* would want to be the one flying the plane - and not for the potential glory, I'd just have a really hard time trusting some other schmo to do it
I've always wondered if the passengers on United 93 had managed to retake the cockpit if they could have then flown the airplane and then landed it. From this video, it sounds like that could have.
How to tell if you believe in Bullsh*t
Jinx says...To be fair I can't test the hypothesis that contrails are H2O either.
And then for headaches = wifi etc I think some people don't understand why their experience isn't sufficient evidence, or rather what constitutes an experiment.
The Last Star in the Universe – Red Dwarfs Explained
Jinx says...I can't decide if I find the mortality of the universe more depressing or sort of comforting.
Miracle Fruit: How to Trick Your Taste Buds
Jinx says...Pineapple on these things is just...wow. Lemon was good too. I thought if you took all the sour out of lemon it wouldn't taste like lemon. I was wrong.
The Truth About Hymens And Sex
Jinx says...1) Depends
2) WHY?!?
3) Dunno. It shrinks as girls age, possible it helps keep germs etc out before, you know, anything else might need to go there.
4) The same way as women prolly. Winky Face. I'd wager men have probably _seen_ about as much, or possibly more, hymen (Hang on, plural of hymen? Hymens?) than women given-
a) I don't imagine it's actually that easy for women to see their own hymen - feel free to correct me on this ladies.
b) Gynecology, as indeed almost all of the medical specialist areas, has been the domain of men until recently.
Oh, and I did google it and I don't regret it because of this entry on the wikipedia page:
"In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, medical researchers used the presence of the hymen, or lack thereof, as founding evidence of physical diseases such as "womb-fury", i.e. (female) hysteria. If not cured, womb-fury would, according to these early doctors, result in death."
One wonders what treatment they might have prescribed for WOOOMB-FURY!!!!
I liked the point of this one, but it seemed like they were squirmish and didn't want to give too much info.
Other questions that could have been answered and that I don't want to google:
1. What does it look like?
2. Do other animals have them?
3. Does it or did it serve some biological purpose?
4. How did men ever discover that it was there?
Who Is Stephen Colbert?
Jinx says...I'm an IN??
Help! I can't tell if I am thinking I am feeling, feeling I am thinking, perceiving I am judgemental, or judging I am perceptive. I want to fit neatly inside one of the 16 boxes! or do I? I DON'T KNOW PLEASE TELL ME.
How powerful illusions reveal glitches in your brain
Jinx says...Wow, that last illusion is awesome!
Greek/Euro Crisis Explained
Jinx says...I think its the worst kind of irony that this shared currency, this symbol of a unified Europe, has really only served to bring cultural and economic disparity into the light. Already I hear people saying, "the Greeks had it coming". "They're lazy.". "They don't work." etc etc as if a whole country could be so completely full of moochers and layabouts that it is on the verge of collapse. So we'll go back to eating each other like cannibals. Wonderful.
