Actually, Einstein wouldn't have taught quantum physics either. He really disliked its probabilistic framework. A famous quote of his is that "God does not play dice", and he spent a fair amount of time trying to poke holes in quantum theory (without success).

ago gratias tibi!

AP = ancillus pueri = totally mangled Latin for slaveboy It was from chat: after you said you perved in Latin class, and then said "errare est humanis" (to err is human) the natural response was: "pervare est ancilluspueris" (to perve is slaveboy) You're a growing boy, & you work out your body & mind, so you definitely need the sleep. Sleep is when you build all those nice neural connections and muscles too. So make sure to get enough sleep & eventually you'll undergo a transformation similar to graham-cracker boy's.

Go to bed earlier, AP! Sleep is better than coffee or stimulants for that brain of yours. Also for the body.

Welcome yesterday, happy birthday today!!!

Happy Birthday, Dom!!!!

Welcome to the board, Ricky!

Congrats to your little brother, Viv! He really has it together. I was struggling first semester freshman year!

Ibuprofen is your friend for now. After a little while, the muscles will get used to it, & workouts won't produce this degree of soreness. Congrats on getting started!

Happy Birthday, Mr. TheZot! !

Happy Birthday, Conner!

Happy Birthday, Trebs!

Hi NJ8, I'm the one who invited you into chat, but I assure you that I didn't have any intent to ambush you or even talk politics when I invited you in. I PM'd you because Mikie wanted to chat with you and said you were having trouble getting in, so I just tried to help so you two could chat. We did end up talking politics privately at first, and I enjoyed the discussion & thought you handled yourself well. It spilled over into the main chat window because it was impossible for me to handle both a discussion with you and in the main room as well, and so when others asked what we were talking about, it was natural to move the discussion into the main room. I'm sorry that it turned into a situation where you felt you were ganged up on! But I repeat, I had no intention for that to happen when inviting you into chat, and I'm sorry that that did happen. Just one point of clarification: NO ONE was saying it was lucky that your mom died! Nobody here would want ANYONE to be deprived of their parents' love. The point we were trying to make is that if you come into a large inheritance, it has nothing to do with you. You're just lucky that the person you were related to happened to be rich; you're NOT lucky that the person you were related to died. You ARE welcome here, and I personally think you are very bright and have a lot to offer . We disagree on many things clearly, but people can disagree and still be friends, as I hope we'll be.

1. Who are you? Michael in NYC 2. Are we friends? We're getting to be. 3. When and how did we meet? In chat, here at GA.org 4. Do you have a crush on me? Nope. 5. Would you kiss me? On the cheek! 6. Give me a nickname and explain why you picked it. Va-va-va-VIV! Because you're so voluptuous 7. Describe me in one word. lively 8. What was your first impression? very friendly and welcoming 9. Do you still think that way about me now? yes. 10. What reminds you of me? theme park fireworks 11. If you could give me anything what would it be? assurance your little bro and kids will all turn out well. 12. How well do you know me? friendly acquaintances at the moment. 13. When's the last time you talked to me? a few hours ago today! 14. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't? nope. 15. Are you going to put this on your blog and see what I say about you? nope. No blog.

Wow, green, good for you! I think at first you were probably just too shocked to do much more than be surprised. But having had this experience, you won't question yourself or what's right when attacked out of the blue.

Happy birthday, redlightfeeling!

Glad you're back and ok, Dave! I agree about hospitals: they are not good places to be. :nuke: So *do* rest & take care of yourself, and everything else you need to stay out of those hospitals (including keeping any post-discharge follow-up appointments), ok? Michael

Yay! You're both alive! I'm so glad you took the better part of valor and fled. We were all worried about you two & missed you. I hope your houses & friends & jobs are ok too....but however they are, at least you're alive!

Yikes! How much sleep have you been getting, Dave? Sleep deprivation is a well known cause of seizures, even in totally normal healthy young people. Considering that this happened completely without warning, and that you were out for a while (however long it took for the ambulance to get to you, load you up, take you to the hospital, unload you into the ER bed, and the doctor to come see you = 15 minutes at least), there's a good possibility this was a seizure. Other causes of seizures include low blood sugar, alcohol withdrawal, & other metabolic stresses, or structural lesions (things you might pick up on an MRI). If it wasn't a seizure, the other major cause of sudden loss of consciousness is loss of circulation to the brain. This is generally a cardiovascular issue, and comes in 2 flavors: (1) benign (simple faints; though usually when people are about to faint they feel lightheaded/queasy for a few seconds beforehand, rather than losing consciousness suddenly and without warning; also, people are usually out for only brief periods with simple faints), and (2) bad. This is generally some kind of electrical arrhythmia, where the heart beats either too fast or too slow to pump blood effectively. This is sometimes why healthy athletes can suddenly drop dead. The workup to rule out such things includes electrical studies like an electrocardiogram (looking for things like prolonged intervals or aberrant conduction) or ambulatory heart rhythm monitoring (called a "Holter" study here in the US), structural studies (like an echocardiogram), and exercise studies (a stress test). You may not need all these studies or any of these studies....but you *SHOULD* get evaluated by someone in addition to the ER visit. Don't be stubborn, eh? If you resist, we'll sic Chris on you! The other important thing is: SLEEP!!! No more staying up in chat to greet the dawn your time, ok? Go to sleep by 11:30 pm (your time) at latest, so you can get a minimum of 7 hours.

Welcome to the board, Nick! As far as lack of sex goes, write what YOU want to write about. I looked at your xanga site, and I think it's really nice so far (first 3 chapters anyway).

Viv-- Share this with your hubby, so he won't make any further mistakes in the future. Terminology for Men WORDS WOMEN USE FINE This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up. FIVE MINUTES If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house. NOTHING This is the calm before the storm. This means "something," and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with 'Nothing' usually end in "Fine" GO AHEAD This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it. LOUD SIGH This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing" THAT'S OKAY This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake. THANKS A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint. Just say you're welcome. WHATEVER It's a woman's way of saying *!#@ YOU!

Happy birthday, Sonoluminus!
