which is why the importance of raw food

What is there to do in St. Louis?  I'm going next weekend to visit a friend and the only thing we have planned is go to this museum that's open til 1am cuz my bus arrives at 10pm and other than that just make food and go to restaurants.

St. Louis is the murder capital of the US. You could hang out with Bloodbath I guess. If he wants to.

I thought Philadelphia was know for that. Home of brotherly blood.

Since death rate is so high there and all.

Maltese push ups are my new favorite variation. I've been sticking mostly to dive bombers, daimonds/butterflies, hip push ups and wide grip declines, but now I'm subbing the maltese in for the hip ones. It's hell trying to get back in shape after injury/illness etc - I always screw up and try to jump right back into the middle of my program instead of starting lower and ramping it back up gradually like I should.

I bet you can't do a jumping inverted handstand pushup. I can do only 3.

I used to do one arm handstand pushups on only the thumb, index finger, and middle finger (I had to add the ring finger in when I used my right hand, it seemed to put less strain on my screwed up shoulder). I'm not even aiming to try to get back to that type of physique. That was back in my hard core training days where I did dangerous stuff like putting my chin in a loop of hanging rope so I could pull my legs up off the ground and hold a lotus positon (for strengthening neck muscles and everything else - although it could lead to a hanging death if you screwed up I guess). I did the "put one of a piece of rebar on the ground and the other end against your throat and bend it just by leaning forward" thing too (you start with a towel for protection, but eventually you can do it without any padding) - it relies heavily on breath control and focus. People hated me on the rope climb, because I grabbed the rope, kicked my feet up, held my body inverted, and then climbed up that way. But like I said, that sort of stuff isn't my goal anymore. I'm not even sure I could survive (at least not happily) some of the reconditioning I'd have to put myself through.


And yes, I realize you were probably being facetious about it, as I think that was actually an Empire Strikes Back reference, but just in case...

A tip for training those one armed handstand pushups - when I was first starting out, I couldn't do them at all. I worked up to it in degrees. I'd start off by putting my feet against the wall and holding my weight on one arm so that my body was parallel to the floor. As it became easier, I'd walk my feet up a little each time. I still remember the day I did my first complete one. I had done a couple reps where I was still leaning my feet against the wall a little bit, but I decided I had to try. I almost lost my balance when I pushed off of the wall, and I had to correct my posture a little, but it was really cool the first time I realized - damn, my whole body weight on one arm like that. The two fingers and a thumb deal came later with a good bit more conditioning. I think I might have a picture from when I was learning it on one of my old hard drives, I'll have to look.

If I had known it would take 4+ weekends (can't torrent at school) to download Mr. Sardonicus, I wouldn't have bothered.  Now I feel like I have to finish downloading it just because I've waited this long.

that's actually more or less true. your stomach has a pretty delicate balance but it's pH normally is around 7 (neutral). when you eat something basic, like raw foods, you upset the balance and your body produces stomach acid to counteract it. the problem is, meat is slightly alkaline, which has the effect of keeping your stomach more acid then normal and it does eat away at the lining. have you ever noticed how people that eat a lot of meat have a big belly? that's not all fatty deposits, but their stomach lining has been eaten away and stretched so it's no longer tight, allowing their organs to sag. this is why ethiopean children have bloated bellies, the basic protein feed mix they're given actually has a worse effect than meat.

lol funny

No its not you fuc king tree bark eating goblin looking  motherfucker

Shit! I'm making a new song and it's like the greatest piece ever written. It's got an epic feeling to it, kinda postapocalyptic power funk with a hint of muse if you catch my meaning.

Actually thanks Rajew, I heard about this last year in my english class in college from one of my friends

but I had never actually searched for it

I just realized that although some people in the past decided include jokes about cavemen inventing square wheels before the round ones in their cartoons the technology to make a square wheel is actually much more complicated than what it takes to make a round wheel

it depends on what you consider complicated

Using just a primitive compass (rope and piece of coal) it takes more steps to draw a square than a circle

lol is that guy being serious?

That fridge trick almost killed me from too much lulz

they didn't have coping saws, they'd have sharpened rocks. it's much more complicated to draw out a plan than to hit something into a shape. i'm unsure how wood cleaves naturally but i'm not sure it would be conducive to hacking it into a circle.

the first wheels 'made' would have been formed by rolling most likely, naturally wearing it into a circular shape. this is all pointless though, they wouldn't have used wagon wheels or anything for the longest time. an animal is much better than a wagon on wheels unless you've got a road.

it's only a wheel if it has a stationary axle. rolling something on logs doesn't count. the egyptian pyramids were built without wheels
