Yeah, I about fell off the couch when she layed that one on everyone, it was like, OMG, you've got to be kidding me! I knew you'd love it!!! My sweetheart was thinking strangely of me as I sat there giggling about it however!

I'd be careful what I said down there under! There are always those little known Jello facts that come back to haunt one!!! What was that you said earlier about ghosts? (Whilst he chokes back fits of laughter!)

Uh-oh......I eat my words about not finding comments on Jello and EEG on the site Wen! Not only has it been proven once it has been proven twice!!

OMG! Now that is WAYYYYYY to funny! ROTF

Guess I'm not the only one who has wondered about Jello - but at least I only wondered, I never tested!

Well, that's two down, one to go! Jello now has a website to back me up, 'ghosts' originated in a book I read and just made me think more - that only leaves one subject unsupported!

And to think it only took four pages to prove that women are never crazy and they are never wrong! (Sits back and waits to see the responses on this one) :)

THERE'S ALWAYS ROOM FOR MODERN MEDICINE . . . OR IS THERE? Dr. Adrian Upton, professor of neurology at MacMasters University in Hamilton, Ontario, recently rigged a brain wave machine, artificial respirators, and intravenous feeding equipment to a bowl of lime jello about the size of a human brain, and—gasp!—recorded readings typical of those emitted by a living person. In fact, the good doctor noted, the results of the electronic analysis would not have qualified the dessert as sufficiently "dead" to have the life-sustaining plugs pulled under existing legal guidelines!

Ahhh... that clears up a lot - Hamilton, right next door to Toronto - the Big Smoke. Those two cities combined can't field a good hockey or football team - although I always liked the Blue Jays. I wonder who was his comparison human subject for the jello EEG: Ex-Premier Mike Harris? I have met humans, especially politicians, bureaucrats, many postal employees, and most extremists of any political bent, who probably don't qualify to have the life-sustaining plugs left in even when they are walking around doing whatever it is they do.

Boy... you go to work one day and you sure do miss a lot in this thread :-)

(cough) I'm almost afraid to mention this...

Driving to my office earlier today, I heard a news report about a recent Harris poll stating that 40% of their sample believed in reincarnation. Of those, the majority of women wanted to come back as women in their next lives. Incredibly, apparently 60% if men who believed in reincarnation also wanted to come back as women.

I wonder if these are the same men who were in the Jello EEG comparison group...

Hi minstrel,
I think the Bible talks about Heaven on Earth. So I could understand according to your poll that would be 100% women on Earth.

So that would line up with the Bible talking about Heaven on Earth.

I'd like to come back as a woman as it seems to me that all "adult" toys are firmly aimed at them and I'm feeling left out.

That and the fact it would be nice to be always right instead of always wrong.

He hem I noticed that The Toronto Argos are in the CFL Eastern final against Montreal after beating the BC Lions (a western team that couldn't beat any of the teams in the west to make it to the Grey Cup) and I have already stated that the Toronto Maple Leafs are the only team worth watching in the NHL, the teams in Ottawa are much like the politicians there, over paid and underworked.

I noticed that you did not use the term Postal worker. Which is a good thing as that is an oxymoron. Personally I once heard of Ottawa referd to as Canadas version of Australia...where we send our criminals and insane. lol

Sorry Cindy

You see I have the best Girlfreind ever she always tells me I am right ( as long as I listen to her) and I am totally in charge...and have her permission to say so.

P.S. If this makes no sense blame it on Demerol

But if everyone on Earth was female, who would be wrong? :-)

LOL....OK..I admit defeat! But..in my defence...I never said we were sane down here ;-)

I wonder if it was used for jello wrestling afterwards??? ;-) A popular past time in Queensland (Brisbane's state).

I think it's more of a worry that it is men that mainly design them ! Maybe men don't 'need' them ;-)

Until they have to work twice as hard to get what a man has! Watch them whimper & run then ;-)

Gotcha! Hee Hee Hee!!! You know, you just sorta stepped into that one with both feet! What colour is your toenail polish when you're knee deep in Lime Jello anyhow? And, I'll reserve comment on that Jello wrestling theory, given thoughts surrounding the toenails. But, I'd be willing to bet there was something too that effect involved, given that I can't imagine them letting $14,000 worth of Jello go to waste.

It has been scientifically proven by a renowned psychologist in Ottawa, that two or more visits to this place will cause such delusional behavior as well. The drugs are off the hook on this one!

If there would be 100% women on earth, who'd be here to enjoy their company? As we all know entirely too well, you'd never get that many women to agree to anything and get along! UNLESS... of course they elected Wen their leader, in which case they'd be so busy talking to Jello, searching for ghosts, and trying to figure out why their feet were still on the ground when gravity exists only in their minds, that they wouldn't have time to disagree.

I wonder if this Harris group conducting studies, was in any way affiliated with that Docotr that was so bored that he hooked life support up to a bowl of Jello? Harris Group ~ Mike Harris ~ HMMMMM?

We proved only that Doctors in Hamilton, Ontario, CA have too much time on their hands, and Wen has played one too many games of Trivial Pursuit!

Having now found answers to the aged questions on Jello and EEG's, it's about time to submit more for Wen to think about again!

* If we stopped idiot-proofing the world, wouldn't we eventually run out of idiots.

* Sanity has never been proven to have any survival value.

* Never say never, cause to never say never you've done said never twice.

* There are two theories to arguing with women, neither one works.

* Even the greatest of whales is screwed when in the middle of the desert.

* If a fly had no wings, would it be called a walk?

* When I was born, I was supposed to be twins. That's why I look so much alike.

What is it with Canucks doing weird experiments? Apparently Canadian scientists have discovered that herrings talk to each other using high pitched sounds emitted from their anuses. They said they realised this when they noticerd bubbles coming from that area that coincided with the sounds. They have called them Fast Repetitive Tick (I think they worked from the acronym backwards there).
