Drinking too much water could kill you. Depending on your age, weight, height etc. 2 litres might just be fatal.

Em, http://www.rulesoftheroad.ie/rules-for-driving/junctions-roundabouts/roundabouts.html, you ARE supposed to be in the left lane when you're going straight through.

I know drinking too much water can be fatal. Everything in moderation y'know but I seriously doubt 2 litres could kill anyone but the oompa loompas. I drink 3-4 litres a day and I'm gravy.

And you quoted me out of context you evil person. :P

I was saying drinking less than 2 litres wouldn't cause harm.

It takes less than a litre to drown :pac:.

Although I guess if you're drowning you're probably not drinking it right.

If you're a) using blood thinners, like Warfarin or b) if you're Tom Thumb, that might hold true.

Or if you're an infant or a dehydrated athlete. It's not the quantity of water you drink, it's how fast you drink it.

Didn't a women in the US die from drinking too much water in a competition to win a Wii?

Anyhoo, the thing about that fallacy is that your water intake should be 2 lt, but it need not be water water. It can be water in food, other drinks etc.

Science, or more to the point, Scientists, Have done in the past, do now, and will continue to resist change and progress in the future unless it comes from their cosy club.
Fringe Sciences are continuously pushed further into obscurity, making it more difficult to talk about things on the very edge of our knowledge .. try talking to a taxi driver or a teacher about string theory, a Tesla coil or quantum physics, you'd be told where to go.

Most theories we consider to be advanced have been around for years, the science of the future, but are still largely theoretical, and are not taught in schools. That's not evolution, it's wearing blinkers.

There's a lot of usage of the word "prove" on this site, personally I haven't seen any proof of anything, ever.
And that Proves it!

"Let's not go there", indeed..

No Thanks on the Cannabis.

Evolution explains why living things share common biological make-up. Saying we share genes with bananas as a way to dismiss the human/ape common ancestor point is moot given the same theory suggests that we and bananas also have a common ancestor.

Ya, there are no absolute proofs only most probable truths. Another defining factor of science.

She had a massive intake of water in a short period and then held in the urine. The competition was called "Hold your wee for a Wii". Her normal balance of electrolytes were pushed beyond safe limits and she suffered water intoxication. Her family received $15 million in damages against the radio station's parent company.

I'm not dismissing the point, the point is valid to anyone who gives a crap. I'm saying "so what".
It doesn't make any difference. Prehistoric connections aren't going to make the bus come on time, or make beans any cheaper.

See what I mean? Not many people want to deal with it.

Profitable you mean?
And well, if you don't agree with anything I said, sure the best response is to mumble something and shrug.
Then you can consider the points dismissed.

His point was valid to the thread, not sure if your post had a point though.

I'm now going to shrug the rest of your post off and mumble something to myself.

Evolution is a forward process and a specie "evolves to a higher state" it doesn't so we are never going to become the Xmen. I know that sucks.

Smoking is bad for you when it isn't You see smoking is bad for the body therefore it is bad for the diseases your body catches as well, Which is why I never get the flu, before the flu takes hold in me, my smoking has already given the flu cancer.
Don't try to tell me any different, my fingers are in my ears and reading about smoking frightened me to much.

You should be in the left lane when you are going straight through a roundabout!!

I know this was answered already and I'm sorry for bringing it up again, but I don't believe it got the attention it deserves. This one really grinds my gears!

If you are going straight through a roundabout (directly ahead or 12:00) then it's the left lane. If it's anything after 12:00 then it's the right hand lane.

There is one exception - if you're going straight through (12:00) and there are 2 lanes entering the roundabout and 2 lanes leaving the roundabout (on a dual carriageway for example) then either lane is for straight but you must leave in the same lane you joined and when you're on the roundabout, the lane to your left has right of way (so don't cut across someone to exit the roundabout).

Drains your spinal fluid.
Burns holes in your brain.
Contains heroin to make it more addictive.
Contains rat poisin as a matter of routine.

The death penalty works as a better deterent to crime than life sentences.

I never knew panini had a singular, I thought it was like sheep. If I walk into a Deli and ask for a "panino" they probably won't have a clue what I'm on about.

Yep it true. Panini is the Italian for 'rolls' - Panino is the singular. Thanks freetranslation.com!
