Oh... so you're saying you think of them every 6 seconds?

I'd LOVE to see the data on that...
Because I'm willing to bet that it was mindless programming.
I very much doubt that when watching something with a complex plotline and intriguing implications, in other words, something that forces you to think, your brain is going to be less active then when you're asleep. Unless it goes over your head or you're not paying attention.
Heck, with anything if you're not using the show as a crutch I very much doubt that it's less active, so I would think that it has a lot more to do with the style of watching then something inherent in TV.

Sorry, but not true. The first thing that I found was Starcraft Ghost, a game announced in 2002 that never came out.

Fact: The average person's left hand does 56% of the typing.
Not quite.Oh... so you're saying you think of them every 6 seconds?
But my point was that girls keep saying that and I think it's false in almost every possible way, I'll go in further detail if someone here wishes me to.No, I'm just not perverted!
...by the way, what are you wearing right now?
I'm kidding.

Where'd you get that from? I work in an ice cream store where we make our own ice cream. The only thing we use is cream-a mix of milk and dairy products- and flavorings(i.e. bananas for banana ice cream, strawberry puree for strawberry ice cream) but no seaweed. Maybe [some] companies use it, do but not all do.

He said seaweed is used, not that it's used in all Ice Cream.
It doesn't suggest any portion, merely that at least one group uses it.

well you dont have to think of them in a bad way. and you really dont have to realize it. but all guys(straight) think of girls every 3 seconds(prolly on average)Not quite.

Fact: (3rd person) KrystalRules is a guy.
Well, I wonder if it means literally every 3rd second or simply 1/3 of the time. The first case couldn't possibly be true (mm, the food is really tasty! - 3 s - breasts), and I really fail to see the truth in the latter one either. Even if it happened even somewhere down in the depths of subconsciousness, it should at some point correlate to the conscious thinking aswell. And to be honest, I haven't really noticed that.
It's hard to accept the whole concept since, firstly, we're asleep rougly 1/3 of our lives. As far as I know, we're thinking about a whole bunch of things when we're asleep, so you can't really count that in. And here as I walk this earth for the 17th year, I haven't noticed myself thinking solely about girls, females, or even sex 1/3 of the time and I'm sure I'm not that abnormal here. This whole "every 3 seconds"-things is just one of those feminist-facts that you keep hearing around.
I'd like to hear some arguments from you too, KrystalRules.
True. Well, not seaweed itself, but an extract from seaweed known as carrageenan gum is used in most brands of ice cream (and other foods) to help hold it together.

True. And a group of unhappy kangaroos holding weapons and torches is called an angry mob.
http://www.nationalgeographic.com/ngkids/amfacts/amaz4.html
False. But most states in India have banned cow slaughter, due to the predominant hindu belief that holds cows sacred.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/2945020.stm
False. This one came up a while ago; a blue whale aorta is 9 inches in diameter, too small for most humans; but maybe not for a tiny child.

Probably True. One old study found that there was approximately of 1 in 400 chance of having heterochromia (eyes of different colors), and another study found that brown-blue heterochromia was even rarer.

Possibly. It's actually not known where the "G" in "G-String" came from, and there are several theories, ranging from "girdle" to "groin" to just describing its shape.

True. See http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?p=2707787#post2707787
Partially True. The point at which any substance is present in its three phases at once (solid, liquid, gas) is called the "triple point" of that substance. It has to be at a certain temperature and certain pressure (ShadowLink got the temperature but not the pressure). For water, it is 0.01 degrees Celsius and 0.006 atm of pressure.

dude it doesnt have to be about sex. and it doesnt have to be about a specific girl! it is a girl crosses you mind every 3 seconds(3rd 2nd 1st it still happens) and i said it may be on average. I.E. think of a girl on the first second and then the third second and eventually averages out to 3 seconds! lol (and the food thing was a joke! i think of food alot thats why i said that)Well, I wonder if it means literally every 3rd second or simply 1/3 of the time.

If you didn't confirm that I totally would have. I learned in biology last year that Carrageenan is used in lots of things. Look at a carton of chocolate milk and theres probably some in there.
