533 - Bigfoots and Sorefoots

[12:33 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
[12:47 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
It doesn't really say that the product even has tobacco in it
It sounds like some judge just wants to meet Brosnan
[12:48 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Or they want money – get him to pay a fine
[1:54 PM] 
(Brosnan) "Because I'm an actor and got paid."



[8:42 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
[9:07 AM] 
Lotta bigfoots
("Shown actual scale")
[9:08 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Heh
There was one 50 miles off the Canadian coast?
[9:22 AM] 
There an island there?
Must be Moresby or Graham
[9:25 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Ann Valee ecological reserve
looks like one of those islands that's more bird poop than actual earth
[9:55 AM] 
Poopsquach!
[10:01 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
maybe he flies there to nest
[10:05 AM] 
Related story...
Friday I walked to game night.
I was passing this house and there was a little boy on his porch, standing in the open door looking at snow. 
"Hi!" he shouted to me
"Hi!" I shouted back
Kept walking past.
I hear him shout into the house "Sasquatch is here!"
(muffled mom) "What?  Close that!"
[10:08 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
WTF
[10:11 AM] 
Heh
Musta been the brown hat that sits kinda high and the beard
[10:22 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
That classic Bigfoot look we all know – hat and beard



[8:53 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
So I saw a article on facebook a few days ago about cops shooting somebody that shot back at them
Somebody commented a well trained person knows control - he was talking about how many times the cop shot the suspect
said something like one shot is enough
I just started laughing
One shot is not enough
You go ahead and shoot somebody once. See if it stops them
Only lucky shots do that
Especially when they are hopped up on drugs
[8:56 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Real life isn't like the movies?
My favorite is when someone gets stabbed once and dies instantly
[8:56 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
yeah hehe
Or they pull the knife out
You stab somebody in the arm it can get stuck in the muscles
Has to be surgically removed
[8:57 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
How do you surgically remove it?
Won't the scalpel also get stuck?
[8:57 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
haha
Usually they have to go in and cut the muscle then put it back together
[9:05 AM] 
(nature documentary voice) "We have the capability and, daresay, luxury of watching in slow motion as the lioness leaps on the Thompson's Gazelle, sinking foreclaws and teeth into the fleeing animal where they sink and stick...immovable...until others of the pride come to surgically remove them from the prey's flesh.”
Had she adopted a strategy of slashing blows, it would never have happened."
"This lioness, isolated from the pack, has been seeking release for 3 days...time grows short for her..."
[9:08 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
That oh so relatable problem when you're cutting your steak and your knife gets stuck in the meat
[9:10 AM] 
But yes.  Puncture wounds can hold on pretty tight
Gotta keep those insides in...



[1:53 PM] 
(van door cracks open) "Psst... Hey... Science dude... I got the stuff..."   https://phys.org/news/2018-02-hauling-antiprotons-van.html
[1:55 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
hmm
if annihilated by regular matter, how do you keep it away from that?
Oh, so you freeze the hell outta them and they are hard enough to keep from dying for a bit
Dippin' Antiprotons
[2:32 PM] 
Anti-Mattercream of the Future
You could suspend it in a magnetic field I suppose.
The key is to not have very much of it contact very much regular matter
Because...well... You've seen some Star Trek explosions...
[2:33 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Regular matter walks into a bar
BOOOM
[2:34 PM] 
"My Auntie Matter walked into a bar, slapped her hand down on the bar and..."
"...and what?"
"The bar and Rhode Island disappeared."



[3:34 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I'm trying weighted front for the Pinewood Derby car
[3:35 PM] 
Weight in the front hits the bottom of the slope dragging the light back and is less stable.  Weight in the back, the car levers up on the light end and there's less friction and even some lift.
[3:35 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
The car will go both ways
[3:35 PM] 
Silver Junior's car 1 was a middle weighted and was a pig
His second was rear weighted and was a screamer.  If not for the drag decorations he put on top he would have gone far. 
Not that it matters
You'll always lose to the kid who always wins with the dad who is obviously building his with advanced tools and materials
YAY SCOUTS!



[10:52 AM] 
And yet...
Maybe...
Just MAYbe...
Maybe evolution worked out the best way for us to sleep and we stopped doing it.
Like the TED talk radio program we listened to about running shoes last Saturday morning.
[10:53 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
i sleep on my stomach
even though you supposedly lose more heat through your back, i feel warmer when i sleep on my stomach
[10:54 AM] 
Ah...you're in the "world of hurt" category according to the article."
[10:54 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Yes
[10:54 AM] 
I can't do it
Hurts too much
Would sometimes as a kid, but would have my arm hung over the side for the monsters
[10:55 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
I also use a soft mattress... If i didn't it'd probably be a little much on my lower back
I have this weird feeling where if I'm on my back i don't' get tired
I just look up and stare
[10:56 AM] 
The running shoe thing was interesting.  Guy was an athlete who kept getting hurt, decided to study running.  Ended up checking out the central American tribe that runs so much. 
"I looked at these guys...and these were 80 and 90 year old guys.  And they were still running at their age through the mountains.  Not like marathon distances...I mean, they were 80-90 year old guys.  No.  A marathon is 26 miles, you know.  No...these guys were running 100 MILES!"
Story got a bit muddled with Mrs. Silver and Silver Junior and I chatting some
But apparently the founder of Nike had some of them up to show them off and show off their new shoe line in marathons.  
Made custom shoes for them.  
"They hated them.  By race 2 they'd found a dump and made their own sandal things out of old tires...basically just short of barefoot.  They blew all the other runners out of the water."
[11:00 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Persistence hunters
[11:01 AM] 
Yeah.  That was the premise the talk started and finished with. 
Humans survived because they could run anything on Earth to death.
[11:04 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
yeah
Humans are unique in that we don't have to stop and pant
We can run and breath simultaneously
Well, in ideal situations
So those African and Mexican tribes would just run down a deer or gazelle or whatever until it was too exhausted to even move, walk right up to it and stab it in the heart
[11:04 AM] 
Yup.
Shoes serve a purpose but “running shoes” turned out to be the worst things for running.
[11:05 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
yes, they force heel striking
[11:05 AM] 
Meanwhile we're evolved to walk and run on our toe pads
[11:05 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Just like that article about how medieval people walked funny compared to the way we do now... toes coming down first
[11:05 AM] 
Yeah...interesting video
I've tried it several times recently – wondering how funny I look.
Point is – I have to assume sleep is the same.
Fetal, on the ground, left side, arm under head is probably what we are made to do.
[11:08 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Perhaps we were made to move around too – side to side
Sleeping on your back doesn't make sense from a survival standpoint
You can't see anything coming
[11:08 AM] 
Nope
[11:08 AM]  Mr. Blue:
We probably slept on our sides with our back up against something... a boulder or cave wall
[11:12 AM] 
Critters just don't show their bellies and groins like that.
A lot of (most?) ancient burials are in the fetal position.
"Og look so natural. Want comfortable for spirit world."
[11:19 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
I didn't know that
Sew a tennis ball into the lining of your shirt on whatever side you need to avoid.”
Wow, great idea
[11:48 AM] 
Meanwhile, 20 years ago I read advice to stop snoring - "Sew a marble into the back of a pajama shirt to encourage the snorer to roll on his side."
[11:51 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
heh
