Callum Gilhooley Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Woodlice produce more nitrogenous waste than any other animal. They also drink through their anus. The latter fact isn't all that remarkable, given the number of individuals on here who appear to be able to talk through their anus. You know i had just read the second sentence when i opened a reply , then i read the third sentence. Stuart Dickson anyone ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluto Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I have now experienced what a coma feels like.One of the remarkable facts about being in a coma, is the utter dearth of feeling. No matter what is done to you, you respond to no stimuli whatsoever.Poor analogy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oaksoft Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) Same with humans. They usually only kick in during puberty. Or when you eat too much sweeties. That part is not true. Getting spots isn't about sweets. It's about an appalling lack of personal hygiene. Teenagers are festering grease buckets due to their hormones and that grease traps dirt particles which leads to spots. Simply washing with soap and water many times a day with a rough cloth and a fabulous invention called soap and not constantly touching your face or squeezing the plooks would relieve this but teenagers are also compulsively unhygenic in all regards. Girls are even worse. They cover the spots up with makeup trapping more dirt and making their bad skin even worse. When my kids started getting them it took me years to persuade them that washing their faces thoroughly at least 6 to 8 times a day would sort the problem. Once they started actually cleaning themselves properly the problem started dying away until 3 days later when their tiny brains decided to re-learn the lessons all over again. Bless them.

Big Jake Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I was sitting next to a guy in the library yesterday who was reading a book on useless facts. He said to me "do you know that every time I breath a man dies?" I told the clatty Cnut to try using a mouthwash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
