It is, but there are many unscrupulous folks coming to rent souls, and you can't be sure of safe return, or at least in having them returned just as y...

That's the Sam's Club version, for sure.

The reason the unburned body weighs 5 kg more than the ashes is due to the removal of the weight of the soul upon death. One way therefore to quickly ...

Deceptively reduced your weight, found a spouse, plumped back up. Well played.

You can always order it online. That massive box should satisfy your Fruity Pebbles needs for at least a few weeks.

I awoke to the violent thumping of rabbits outside my window, their fangs clanging against the bending reinforced steel bars, not sure how much longer...

I'm 6'9", 350 lbs, schlong the size of an oak tree. I can run a 3 minute mile and eat nothing but cheese. Don't mean to brag, but I'm quite the specim...

Ahh, 13.54 stones. That's how I weigh things.

What I find curious is how there is argument following the final ruling, as if the trial should occur after the verdict. We've reached finality here, ...

Alright, so I'm going to enter some final conclusions now. Enough of the back and forth and it's time for a ruling. Language is a form of communicatio...

I knew you'd say that. In fact, I said it to make you say what you said, like a puppet on a string. But the first kid looking back was a non-symbolic ...

Adding to this story. I once was driving on a country road and a kid crossed the road on his bicycle well in front of me and he was smiling and laughi...

Or I'd say that deep insight and understanding is part of human intuition, meaning we are very good at navigating our world because we are inherently ...

Maybe, but I don't think I need to think it in words to know it and it be a part of undifferentiated underlying certainty. That is, I can see a man bo...

I see it as the more thought I put into something, the better I understand it, with language being a useful tool for engaging in the thought. I disagr...

I'd like to think this true, but sometimes I fear the knowledge I amass from the Shoutbox has no value in the marketplace. Nonsense, right?? Please te...

My story of the Chinese restaurant was true. I'll give some more details. Mr. Wong had me put the uneaten crunchy noodles back in the bin for reuse. M...

When I was 15 (and you were like 50), I worked at a Chinese restaruant as a busboy, and the funniest joke dads used to ask me was what part of China I...

White bread actually has a higher glycemic index score (100) than straight sucrose (65). A 100 is the highest you can have, equal to straight glucose....

I'm a bread guy, so I know such things.

Glycemic index is most important if you have diabetes or if you have reactive hypoglycemia. There's a lot of shit you need to know if you work in the ...

The bottom one looks like a bialy.

Theodicy is the word you're looking for.

When I was a baby, my parents fed me marbles and chicken bones.

They now make crowns out of cubic zirconium, which my dentist tells me is as strong as diamond. With that, I took my bride to be to the county fair, w...

The term "supernatural" derives its meaning from usage, not through logical analysis. It generally is used to mean divine intervention or some type of...

I had my dentist install hollowed out fangs in my mouth so I could Dracula suck blood straight through the teeth. Women found me crazy attractive and ...

Man, I just read what I wrote, and I was a total dick the way I treated the Russian dentistry community. Sorry you guys saw that side of me.

I've not even gotten started. Do they call their doctors barbers? That's sometimes a thing. Sounds like you got a heaping mouthful of radiation. Do yo...

How do you know? Did you count before and after? My guess is that you have no idea right now what your total tooth count is. You also didn't clarify i...

Do you have any teeth? If not, that's why no cavities.

It's a matter of degree, with certain cultures being more collectivist and others more individualistic. The sociological distinction is real, but no o...

Do you trust Russian dentistry?

A victim need not be helpless nor be excused from failing to mitigate their victimization. These are all different concepts. Some victims refuse to se...

I was immediately reminded of the Zizzer Zazzer Zud when I read this. /uploads/resized/files/a9/k52mkm08vvxc66wk.jpg

[ I'd argue that this definition of empirical realism is actually of indirect realism in particular and not of empirical realism generally (as direct ...

You know nothing of Purim.

My cat finagled an additional can of food from me, not advising me that my wife had already fed her. I see my day will be spent trying to match wits w...

Name this freshly baked treat: /uploads/resized/files/ty/lzibrmtal4lyttj1.jpg

Oh, and by mozzarella, I mean parmesan.

I'm killing it with the nonsense today. Killing it!

I was there. I was the guy with the pepper grinder who held the pepper grinder out in front of you and said "pepper?" How long have ever let the guy g...

My favourite part: "generational cycle of failure that has plagued us all here."

Another idea along these lines is of a man who sees a marathon runner drop a dollar from his pocket at the starting line, so he chases the man in orde...

That is a good one that I will take note of. I had been doing it backwards apparently, which explains my embarrassing skid marks that began just under...

When I was a kid, I would eat my deluxe ice cream treats that I bought from the ice cream man and laugh at the meatball stick eating kids. Uncle Pete ...

My father didn't offer me any direct words of wisdom, but a couple of things I do remember him telling me were: (1) when I was looking to buy a mattre...

You might notice what I do is that I write a post, then in the next post, I offer a quick review of it just to comment upon myself.

Seeing eye cat. That's a good one.
