re: phenolpthalein i hadn't heard that it turns urine red, but an old high school teacher (or textbook?) said it's a powerful laxative. only use just a drop or 2, because it's really strong stuff.

re: caffeine i did a chem lab in 1st year where we found out the pH of various soft drinks (aka "pops" in Canada). coca-cola was the most acidic by a long way (pH ~ 3.0, approx the same as vinegar) so i guess that would have the most sugar in it (sugar is inversely proportional to pH?), if you just want to get hopped up on pop.

It used to be Jolt soda pop had the most caffiene. Now I think it is Surge. Mountain Dew is up there too.

28 times a day sticks in my head - don't ask me how I know that.

Wow! You might want to change your diet!

I found this:

As digestive enzymes break the chemical bonds, gas results and queues in the lower bowel for release, about 14 times daily on average. Honors for the most Vesuvian are formally reported in the 1976 paper, "Studies of a Flatulent Patient," which described 34 "events" in 24 hours. The least Vesuvian person remains officially undetected.

Nice one.

Just make a super-brew; really strong tea with some pro-plus and plenty of sugar.

Superglue dries on contact, tends to stay liquid for quite a while in open air.

Asking for a cure for flatulence is like asking for a cure for singing.

I'd rather have the cure for singing the way some people think they can.

I hear down south they take it really serious ;)

I read some where that NZ was considering taxing farmers for the no: of sheep they owned. The reason cited was the gas released was NZ's leading contribution to the green house effect.
Also currently scientists in Australia are engaged in a vaccine to reduce these "emissions" :)

PS: what the hell is Beano?
And does a pig really hav a 30 min orgasm.?

Pigs have 30 min orgasms, lions have sex up to 50 times per day, and dolphins do it for fun.

IN my next life make me a chimera of a dolphin, lion and pig. PLEASE!

Phenalthalein is a base indicator. Normal urine pH ranges from about 4.6 to 8.0. If the indicator turns pink in your urine, it means your urine is slightly alkaline. This isn't out of the ordinary, but it also isn't out of the ordinary to have slightly acidic urine. If indicator is turning a bright hue of red, then you may have a problem. Highly alkaline urine can point to gastric suction, renal failure, or even carbonate or phosphate kidney stones.

yeah but humans are the only animals that are ready to breed every day. (at least if we are to believe a show on the discovery channel a while back) there is no time of the year when the girl humans are "in heat" & need to get laid all the time. i read a thing by desmond morris (anthropologist/biologist, etc) that said other girl primates' butts swell up like balloons at the right time of the month to attract a boy monkey. girl humans, though, have big round butts every day, which is supposed to attract a boy human... every day 24/7. other girl primates are literally flat-chested unless they're producing milk; girl humans' chest areas are more or less the same size all the time, whether they're "producing" or not. so "obviously" it's purely cosmetic/sexual & there to attract a boy human. cleavage is also supposed to make a boy human think of those big swollen monkey butts too. it's some kind of primal animal instinct thing.

You just had to go and ruin my fun, didn't you??!

On the one hand, correct, women don't have a limited "estrus" during their cycle. There are a few other breeds of monkey that are similarly receptive during most of the cycle (though all primates have menstrual cycles rather than estrous cycles). However, there is evidence that women do exhibit more sexual activity/interest when ovulating, it's just more subtle differences than in other species. Mostly, the differences seem to be in things like their aggressiveness in pursuing men (well, aggressiveness isn't quite the right word), such as flirting more. It also seems to be they perceive men as more attractive during that time of the cycle. Physical changes as described in some species of monkeys vary from species to species, and most mammals rely far more on odor cues than visual cues, so I'm not sure that part of the explanation holds up.

It's GOOD to have our very own Reproductive Specialist that will give us the good answers...

Of course it is, who couldn't use a woman with a PhD in sex?

 

[Ivan Seeking]

When going out on a date or out on the town, one study showed that young women tend to show more skin when they are ovulating.

That's one I was thinking of. I think it was that they wore shorter skirts. I think initiating conversation was another thing they did more when ovulating. Those studies are all blurring together in my mind tonight. On the other hand, there was a really bizarre study that showed there was no effect of stage of menstrual cycle on labial swelling in response to erotic images and masturbation. I say bizarre because, after examining the diagram of the device for measuring labial swelling (or maybe temperature too?), I can't believe anyone would agree to participate in the study.

I disbelive the humans are the only non-seasonal sex animals
dolfins and bonobo [a kind of chimp] are allso sex at any time animals
and some women do have a cycle when they want more or less action
based on their time of the "month"

1.) What dorm is this? I was in the beer dorm where people use Natural Light instead of water. I find it hard to believe that entire dorms talk about this site, no matter how geeky.

2.) I heard a similar prank with methylene blue. I think if you don't do it everyday it shouldn't that dangerous. However I think they'll be peeing blue for a week. Anyway, this is not a prank to have laughs. More like a prank for revenge.

3.) I know that a cup of Mountain Dew has twice the caffeine as a cup of coffee. Jolt Cola and Red Bull probably have more.

I am not responsible for any acts of massive boneheadedness

edit: Achtung Baby is an awesome album

humans:- Sex all year round.
pigs :- 30 min orgasms(someone please verify).

i stand with franzneitzche. QUALITY over quantity :) ;) .
hey I've heard spacesuits can be damaged by farts.
is there is certain emission level to comply with to be an astronaut. ??

 

[Moonbear]

Sorry to disappoint you on this one. We don't even know if pigs have orgasms. I think this one comes from the rigidity reflex they exhibit when in estrus. Any pressure on the back will result in the sow standing completely immobile for a fairly long time.

hey I've heard spacesuits can be damaged by farts.

I don't know if they are damaged, but if you consider that a space suit is completely sealed from any air escaping, it may become fairly intolerable to wear one for long if you just had a big helping of beans and rice before putting it on.

Worst possible time to get the runs.

I can't believe anyone would agree to participate in the study.

I see what you mean... , I mean, I understand.
