Bacon Flavored coffee. Do Want?

I am not into the "bacon flavored" thing. I prefer straight up bacon. Artificial bacon just doesn't cut it for me.

 

 

Why did people say the phrase : "God bless you." after somebody sneezed?

A long, long time ago it was believed that sneezes preceded illness. So blessing people after a sneeze became customary, because it meant that you were wishing them good health. "God bless you" is simply the modern equivalent of that.

 

 

 

I also live by a nuclear power plant so I got to put that into play....yea I think I'd be dead.

 

Next question did you find or design your profile pic?

I found it. I did have to resize it to fit as an avatar pic, but other than that I didn't edit it.

Ha I got you! There is no known answer to the question. Only theories. Another is that the soul would be lost through the nose because of a sneeze so saying "God bless you" is a way of protecting the person so they might retain their soul.

How many people would die in a nuclear war if they aimed for large population centers? (because they would.) And what is the chance of a nuclear war occurring?

Depends on the population of the population centers. There would be survivors though. And at the moment, pretty low. There aren't as many "nuclear" countries as the media would have you believe, and the ones with nuclear weapons are at an understanding about them. Not to mention that the SETI systems would make it pretty difficult to wage nuclear war.

Actually, yours is a common myth spread by people who don't know any better (people back then were not that stupid, the rate of sneezes with the type of sanitation that they had around would mean that over half the world at any given time would have lost their souls. Mutliple times). Mine is based on documented history and facts. :) Also, you should REALLY read the OP on "impossible questions". If they are, in fact, impossible then you still won't get the award if I answer them wrong. :P

 

 

Are you human or an advanced AI?

Neither. :D Or both? o.O

 

 

Time for some digging. What was my first topic I made and what did I suggest?

Easy enough. You suggested that by the end of the trilogy in halo 6 that they feature every single map that has ever appeared in Halo multiplayer. You posted it on the 11th of March, 2012 at 5:42 pm (my time). :D

 

 

What was your favorite gametype in Halo 2

Shotty Snipers and Swat. lol

1: The "myth" you speak of is still a legit reason for its existance. People back then were paranoid about many things.

 

2: Even if we do not know the answer currently it does not mean there is not one out there.

 

3: You stated that you had answered the question and then go and state that the question is one that is impossible to answer... So which is it? BTW I did read the op, thorized answers are still answers, even if they are not always correct. So in this case I could have selected from multiple possible answers, only one of which is the correct answer I was looking for. :P

I did not say that it was an impossible question, I said that impossible questions would still not get you the award. :D And no, yours is a myth. There is no documented evidence of that happening, however mine is documented. Srsly. Check it out.

I know it is dude, I have done my homework before asking.

 

Technicalities behind technicalities. How much more before somebody goes nuts?

Just going to throw this in there:

The time period when "God Bless You" became very prominent was the spread of the plague. Sneezing was the first symptom of bubonic plague, and it was a blessing for protection from the disease and a prayer that the person would not get worse.

 

And now: Ben can make 5 pizzas in one hour or make 4 barrels of cola, and James can make 9 pizzas in one hour or make 6 barrels of cola. Who has the comparative advantage for making cola?

Someone already went nuts. Check the question below this one. :D

 

 

I'm already going nuts......

 

Anyway next question Which country is the lead producer?

Of? If you mean overall (as in average) China. Definitely China.

 

 

If you try to fail, but succeed, what have you really done?

You have failed at what you were trying to fail at, but succeeded at failing.

 

 

When is towmmorow? think very hard about this.

 

 

 

Failed?

You mean tomorrow? lol It's the day after today.

 

 

Could you change Harbinger's member title from Brute Ultra to "Hamburger" for comedic reasons?

I am sorry, but the normal qualifications for such a thing are: "Be a Dedicated Member". My qualifications are: "Be a Dedicated Member who has been active for at least 3 months".

^Bam. Friggin toldyaso Vaulting Frog.

 

As for your question, James can make more from making 9 pizzas than he can from making 6 barrels of cola, by about 1.5 times (assuming the price he charges is the same, of course). Ben, on the other hand, can only make 1 1/5 (sorry, didn't feel like typing a decimal for that. lmao) by choosing pizza over cola. Since it costs both of them the same amount of labor hours to make the cola, Ben would suffer less of a loss than James would. If they were in business together, it would be more efficient for James to make the pizza and Ben to make the cola, therefor the comparative advantage goes to Ben. However, the absolute (and boy do I mean absolute) advantage goes to James. Friggin employee of the month material right there. Step up Ben. Step up.

What are your thoughts on the actions of Westboro Baptist Church?

 

How do you feel about the group known as ANONYMOUS?

WBC is a group of imbeciles that got together to preach to other imbeciles and try to force their imbecilic ways onto real people.

 

Anonymous isn't a group. It is everyone. Which means that it is good, and bad. That's right. Every 12 year old script kiddie is a part of anon, as well as the real "haxorz".
