I thought of this awhile ago...as a whole, I think BCM festers a large group of educated, intelligent individuals who as a whole make up a large wealth of knowledge. I know some of you may contribute less than others when it comes to helping others on the boards or whatever but still...you are part of this group also. :rolf

Let me give an example of how this works. Say you have always wondered why the sky is blue and your Compaq doesn't have a Google button on the keyboard...ask it here! Let the all-knowing BCM give insight as to WHY the sky may be blue. Granted, these answers might not score you an A+ on that thesis you are trying to write to get into PC Productivity Grad School but you get the drift here....

So have at it. I think the BCM Knowledge Kninjas are ready! :thumbsup

Because she isn't really preggors....its all just a publicity stunt. Kind of like a girl I dated once. Told everybody she was pregnant yet failed to show any signs that she really was. "Hows your baby doing? Going to the doctor a lot? What ba...OH yea...fine...." Pathological liar. Maybe the show is experiencing the same scenerio. A quite note to the writers that they may have overlooked that whole delivery date mamajamma might be in order Chris.

Life is a game that no one wins,
but you deserve a head start the way your life's goin',
so throw in the towel cuz your life ain't shit,
no take the towel and hang yourself with it.

lifes short and hard like a body building elf,
so save the planet and kill yourself,
if you're feeling down and out with what your lifes about,
lift your head up high and blow your brains out..

Why does wheat beer make me shit my pants?Gluten allergy?

I actually just had a kid come back from school with a similar question...not that it's my area of training, but we've come to the solid conclusion that he has alchohol sensitivity vs. being allergic to things in the drink (there really isn't such a thing as alchohol allergy). I actually told him, since he drank numerous things, that when he drinks, stick with one thing, all night. One night whiskey, another vodka, another beer, etc.

Turned out, he tolerates the beer...anything that has a high alchohol content makes him vomit MUCH earlier, causes rashes, etc. Beer is just about right for him...he's quite relieved.

CobraSnakewhat exactly is a cam??

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hey me and my buddies were sitting here talking and we got to talking about motors. We don't know much about them just the basics. So I started talking about engine upgrades and I got to talking about a cam. I mentioned that I thought I heard that chevy's had i believe 2 cams where mustang's have i think 4. So its much more to do it on a mustang then a LSX motor. But then my friends asked me what exactly is a cam they kept thinking I was talking about the cam shaft, which I don;t believe. So my question is what exactly a cam??? What does it exactly do??? Where is it located in the engine????

What's a cam?


"A cam is a projecting part of a rotating wheel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel) or shaft that strikes a lever (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lever) at one or more points on its circular path. The cam can be a simple tooth, as is used to deliver pulses of power to a STEAM HAMMER, for example, or an eccentric (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccentric_%28mechanism%29) disc or other shape that produces a smooth reciprocating (back and forth) motion in the follower which is a lever making contact with the cam."

At what temperature do you get "frost bite?"It's less a temp, and more a time related matter. For true frost bite to occur, it does have to be below freezing. From there, the amount of time will be dependant on the temp, which part is exposed, the dryness of the body part, etc.

Why is a grapefruit called grapefruit?

A relative newcomer to the citrus clan, the grapefruit was originally believed to be a spontaneous sport of the pummelo (q.v.). James MacFayden, in his Flora of Jamaica, in 1837, separated the grapefruit from the pummelo, giving it the botanical name, Citrus paradisi Macf. About 1948, citrus specialists began to suggest that the grapefruit was not a sport of the pummelo but an accidental hybrid between the pummelo and the orange. The botanical name has been altered to reflect this view, and it is now generally accepted as Citrus X paradisi.

I think grapefruit should be renamed to grape. That makes sense. Its a good solid Italian word with good roots.

The old fruit known as grape should be renamed entirely. Something new like:

Small Round Pebble Fruit
Gnutsak Squishy Edible
Lotax, Lord of the Vines

Some more elaboration on the Grapefruit and it's origin



Origin and Distribution

The grapefruit was first described in 1750 by Griffith Hughes who called it the "forbidden fruit" of Barbados. In 1789, Patrick Browne reported it as growing in most parts of Jamaica and he referred to it as "forbidden fruit" or "smaller shaddock". In 1814, John Lunan, in Hortus Jamaicensis, mentions the "grapefruit" as a variety of the shaddock, but not as large; and, again, as "forbidden fruit", "a variety of the shaddock, but the fruit is much smaller, having a thin, tough, smooth, pale yellow rind". In 1824, DeTussac mentions the "forbidden fruit or smaller shaddock" of Jamaica as a variety of shaddock the size of an orange and borne in bunches. William C. Cooper, a citrus scientist (USDA, ARS, Orlando, Florida, to 1975), traveled widely observing all kinds of citrus fruits. In his book, In Search of the Golden Apple, he tells of the sweet orange and the grapefruit growing wild on several West Indian islands. He cites especially a fruit similar to grapefruit that is called chadique growing wild on the mountains of Haiti and marketed in Port-au-Prince. The leaves are like those of the grapefruit. He says that it was from the nearby Bahama Islands in 1823 that Count Odette Phillipe took grapefruit seeds to Safety Harbor near Tampa, Florida. When the seedlings fruited, their seeds were distributed around the neighborhood.

At first, the tree was grown only as a novelty in Florida and the fruit was little utilized. Even in Jamaica, the trees were often cut down. Mrs. Mary McDonald Carter of Eustis, Florida, was quoted in the Farm and Livestock Record, Jacksonville, in 1953, as relating that her father, John A. MacDonald, settled in Orange County in 1866. In 1870, he was attracted to a single grapefruit tree with clusters of lemon-colored fruits on the Drawdy property at Blackwater. He bought the entire crop of fruits, planted the seeds and established the first grapefruit nursery. The first grapefruit grove planted from this nursery by a man named Hill was sold in 1875 to George W. Bowen who developed it commercially. In 1881, MacDonald bought the Drawdy crop and once more raised seedlings for his nursery in Eustis. Early settlers began planting the tree and acquired a taste for the fruit. There was already a small demand in the North. New York imported 78,000 fruits from the West Indies in 1874. Florida started sending small shipments to markets in New York and Philadelphia between 1880 and 1885.

In 1898, Dr. David Fairchild was excited to learn of a grove of 2,000 grapefruit trees in the Kendall area south of Miami on the property of the Florida East Coast Railway. In 1904, he was amazed to see one tree in the door-yard of the Kennedy ranch in southern Texas where he thought the climate too cold for it. He was told that the tree had been frozen to the ground but had recovered. He predicted that a citrus industry could not be established in that region of the country. In 1928, he photographed the same tree, which had been killed back several times in the interim, but was again in fruit. By 1910, grapefruit had become an important commercial crop in the Rio Grande Valley and, to a lesser extent, in Arizona and desert valleys of California. By 1940, the United States was exporting close to 11,000,000 cases of grape-fruit juice and nearly one-half million cases of canned sections. Cultivation had reached commercial proportions in Jamaica and Trinidad and spread to Brazil, South America and Israel. In 1945/46, the United States (mainly Florida) produced a record of 2,285,000 tons of grapefruit. In 1967/68, this country accounted for 70% of the world crop despite a great decline in Texas production because of severe weather. Grapefruit was moving forward by leaps and bounds. Israel, in 1967, supplied only 11% of the world crop but, by 1970, her production had increased by 300%. In 1980, Florida exported just under 10 million boxes, making grapefruit this state's most valuable export crop. Japan is the main importer and has, at times, suspended shipments to determine the safety of fungicide residues or because of discovery of larvae of the Caribbean fruit fly. Great care is taken to maintain this important trade. Other countries which had entered the grapefruit industry were Mexico, Argentina, Cyprus, Morocco and some areas of South America which raise grapefruit for local markets. In Central America, the grapefruit is not much favored because of its acidity.

In the late 1960's and early 1970's, Mexico was rapidly expanding its grapefruit plantings, especially in the states of Tamaulipas and Veracruz, to save its citrus industry in view of the decline in market value of oranges and tangerines brought on by over-production. Furthermore, there were great advantages in the lower costs of producing grapefruit without irrigation and with good biological control of pests. Now Mexico exports large quantities of grapefruit to the United States and lesser amounts to Canada and Japan. Puerto Rico formerly exported grapefruit to the United States but is no longer able to compete in the trade and has only remnants of former plantations. Cuba has planted 370,000 acres (150,000 ha) of citrus, mostly grapefruit with expectations of exporting to the Soviet Union and eastern European countries. The grapefruit is grown only in a small way in the Orient where the pummelo is cultivated. In recent years, the grapefruit has become established in India in hot regions where the sweet orange and the mandarin are prone to sunburn.

The word lisp (in some form) has been with us as long as we have had English--since the word is cognate with its fellows in other Germanic languages. It has been found inwriting, according to the OED, as early as ca. 1100. As for the cruelty of using a hard-to-say word to describe the speech problems of those who find it hard to say words, that's pretty much the point, isn't it?

Why do cats purr?


Scientists have demonstrated that cats produce the purr through intermittent signaling of the laryngeal and diaphragmatic muscles. Cats purr during both inhalation and exhalation with a consistent pattern and frequency between 25 and 150 Hertz. Various investigators have shown that sound frequencies in this range can improve bone density and promote healing.

This association between the frequencies of cats' purrs and improved healing of bones and muscles may provide help for some humans. Bone density loss and muscle atrophy is a serious concern for astronauts during extended periods at zero gravity. Their musculo-skeletal systems do not experience the normal stresses of physical activity, including routine standing or sitting, which requires strength for posture control.

What was in the suitcase that Jules had in the movie Pulp Fiction ?


I believe it was Marsellus Wallace's soul. This was a theory due to the bandaid at the base of Mr. Wallace's neck. From some Bible passages it was believed when the devil takes your soul it is removed from the base of the neck. The religious overtones makes me believe this was Quentin Terantino's goal, but an interview with Mr. Terantino did not conclude this fact indefinitely. Originally the screen play said it was going to be diamonds, but that seemed too boring and the light and the lack of viewing was added for "mysticism".

I like the soul idea. Makes sense with the 666 briefcase lock code refrence and the "act of God" reference by Samuel L. Jackson on the shooting incident with him and Travolta.

How does rain "stick" to vertical windows?


Fluid dynamics has two theories in play here. One is the coefficient of friction, both kinetic and static, and the second is the surface tension of fluid. What you will find is that once the fluid deposited exceeds a certain mass the force of the fluid in conjunction with gravity will cause it to "run" down the window. Until this even occurs, the coefficient of static friction and the surface tension generate enough force to maintain the rain drop position on the verticle surface. Once the two forces are equal, the equation moves over to kinetic friction, which has more to do with how fast the water will run down the surface. So your so called "sticking" is the fluid's inability to overcome the "surface tension".

Too many variables here.

Lasers are still way expensive and really huge, making me doubt the fact that someone of your stature could support one if I could, indeed, make such a purchase.

You have met a nice girl that you really find attractive. You are a cheapass and a tightwad. You have $10 to spend on a date yet impress her enough with your thoughtfulness and charm to score a second date. Using the $10 and not a penny more, lay out the specifics to woo this young maiden

BCM Knowledge Kninjas will critique your plan


(Summer scenario) Go around your neighborhood beforehand, steal flowers out of your neighbors' gardens....make a big bouquet. Check around your area for free kittens, go get one. Take an old shoe lace, make a heart out of a post-it note, write "I Wuv you" on it, tie the shoe lace in a bow around kitty's neck, stick the heart-note to the bow. Buy a 99 cent card, write her a sappy poem. Go buy some cheap ass lunchmeat and some bread, a few apples, and a box of cheap cookies. Have a picnic in the park. This should all cost you aprroximately 5-10 dollars, depending on how cheap you can be. If all goes well, she'll think you're the sweetest guy on earth.

So... do you eat the cat then, too? What goes well with cat? A1 steak sauce? And... do you skin the cat in front of her or go behind a tree?

There are a lot of cats in the world, I just never thought about using their protein to woo a lady.

the thought behind 7390210's date idea is a good one. Very frugal and resourceful. A picnic in the park would earn brownie points for sure and it can be done on the cheap. The kitten is a nice touch also, though chances are if you told this girl you loved her on a first date, you might be taking the kitten home with you and eating your lunchmeat you picked up for dinner :rolf

Pick her up at her house, 2 daisys in my hand. A nice but cheap flower. Lets say 2 bucks for both.

Open the door for her, as you must do all night be it car door or otherwise.

Depending on her approximate age, and her style of music she likes I have an album or mixed cd based in the deck of the car, cant be too romantic, a little upbeat. If she has lived in that area, I ask her about it, how long shes lived there, if she grew up there are any friends around......

I like to pick a woman up in the later afternnon, while some daylight is around, so we can go to a chosen park, and take a walk. During the walk I ask about ambtions, why a gal as beautiful as her is still single, etc. Perhaps before the date, she told me she was into ______. Well before hand I find a few things out about _______ and explain while I might not know alot about it, she should tell me about it because i find it very interesting. (Basically complete Bullshit)

So after the walk its a toss up. If we go down to the Lake, I would have a bottle of wine chilled, 2 glasses, a blanket and some candles. Or..

There is a good ice cream stand on the east side, and Im sure 8 bucks would cover the cost of 2 cones....

I usually like to keep the first date between 3-4 hours. Leaves them wanting more.

So I drop them off, the music in the car is more romantic. I usually like to go with Al Green. Good classic artist. The drop off you make SURE to walk them to the door, and depending on the Vibe, its optional to go for just the hug, or goodnight kiss.

A very Basic stratigy, and has served me well. :thumbsup And right around 10 bucks.

$2 flowers

$6 Ice Cream or $8 Bottle of wine

DISCLAIMER: I dated (later married obviously) my 1st wife from the time I was 16 until we divorced (I was 30), so my dating record leaves much to be desired. I wish I had followed Daves advice on my 1st "post divorce" blind date, because instead it went something like this:

Picked her up, and worried she may not fit in the Mustang (I am not small mind you, but I was comparatively). So, lesson learned there, get pic before set up.

Went for ice cream at Oscars, where apperantly I hadn't dialed down my charm machine (:rolf) enough, as she wanted to go to Paragon for drinks afterward. Mind you, I don't drink, and don't particularly care for bars. Lesson learned here: when you already know you aren't interested, just make the night end.

Go to Paragon for drinks, where she proceeds to put down beer like she was a college Beer Pong champion. End up closing the place. Lesson here was beer is cheap at Paragon, could be useful information in the future.:devil

SOOOOO, on to the ride home, where she talks endlessly about shit I couldn't care less about, at this point I am just trying to get the date over with. Get her to her APT, walk her to her door, where I get invited inside. Now mind you, I had been out of the dating scene for 15 years, and didn't know what she was really asking (friends at work later laughed at me while I told this story and was oblivious to what she wanted:rolf), but some primal instinct was screaming "NOOOOOO. RUN, RUN VERY FAST." So I excused myself because.....lesson learned, leave the car running if you need an excuse to leave in a hurry:thumbsup:rolf


So, question time, is it proper on a blind date to just turn and walk away the instant you know the person is not for you, or should you be polite (like I was) and go through with it anyway?
