You know what really grinds my gears?: The moaning thread.
RE: You know what really grinds my gears?: The moaning thread.

She was clearly extremely anorexic. It really was a sad sight. And then I wondered, what the hell was she doing there? Why the hell was the instructor allowing her to take the class? The last thing that poor woman needed was aerobic exercise and calorie burning. She should be at home with a gallon of ice cream, not working out in the gym. I know that anorexia is a mental condition as well as a physical condition but surely she must know this isn't what she should be doing. And what about her friends and family? Do they know about this? If so, why don't they stop her?

She wants muscle, not fat! Tongue

Did I mention I've got a muscle going spare?

Sorry - alcohol talking
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

While not doing it with a jerk is nice, realize that some jerking may be necessary.

And eating beef jerky doesn't count.

Unless you refer to it as jerked beef, in which case go for it.

Threads that are so long it takes an hour to read to the end before making a post.

People that say "oriented" instead of "orientated".
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful. — Edward Gibbon

What? "Oriented" is correct.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
