Well, you'd be dead... in every sense of the word. It would be the same as if you shot yourself in the head and then someone used your DNA to build an age matched replica of you to carry on in your footsteps. You'd still be dead - your entire life will be over. If you believe in heaven/hell you will go there, if not you will no longer exist. It doesn't matter if the replica acts exactly like you and even has the exact same memories. Sure, to everyone else it will be the same as you but you won't ever experience life again.

This is sort of related to this idea, and fitting for the thread:

On a cellular level, do all cells in the body die and get replaced? If not, which ones do and don't? If so, what are different rates for different types of cells, and how long before every cell in the body is new?

What about on the atomic level? I'd guess maybe electrons might trade off, but is the nucleus fairly stable within atoms in living matter?

if it is a true copy then the consciousness gets copied too. so it's the same me.
consciousness isn't some god-made magic, just some really clever physics that we haven't figured out yet.
 
Why does Kanye use an english accent on Estelle's song American Boy? She is from England, but he is not, and the song is called AMERICAN BOY.
 
A "recessionary expenditure gap" is:

A. the amount by which the full-employment GDP exceeds equilibrium GDP.
B. the amount by which equilibrium GDP falls short of the full-employment GDP.

Don't these statements say the same thing? How is "X exceeding Y" different than "Y falling short of X"?
 
I've been watching Generation Kill and why are there a few Humvees that aren't completely enclosed? Leaving soldiers exposed makes no sense.

free shooting field? dunno?
plus those humvees aren't armored anyways, so even enclosed they wouldn't offer much protection
 
This isn't a question but I cant make my own threads and didn't know where else to put this, if there is a thread already made for internet deals or whatever feel free to tell me and i'll repost there, but anyway I have about 10 invites left to gap friends & family discount which is 30% off gap, old navy and banana republic good for march 18 - 21

Because in infinite wisdom of the govt. They gave First Recon a bunch of shitty used humvees , which one would think that if you intend on using this unit to be a spearhead of fast warfare deep into possible hostile areas you'd at least have the decency to give them excellent tanks.
 
Does anyone know the lowest amount of moves you can beat draw-1 solitaire is? I have a free solitaire app on my iTouch that counts the moves and I probably played close to 500 games before ever looking at the "game beat with lowest move counts" and I got 102, since then I've tried out beating that (at around 1400 games played now) and still can't even get fucking close to that (I think closest I got was 110). It bugs the hell out of me because I don't even remember the game I got the 102 in and now I've put in like 70 hours of gameplay just trying to fucking beat this and I'm starting to think I beat solitaire with the lowest amount of moves possible.

Anyone know?

I lived Sin City and 300, will I like The Spirit? Also what other films would I like?
Click to expand...

I haven't seen Sin City or 300, but I found that The Spirit, while having a pretty cool style, was so ridiculous and absurd that it killed my interest. The previews looked pretty good, and then the movie was some kind of awful comedy. I guess you could rent it if you're curious, but I hated it.

I got a Macbook as a gift, that person (who gave it to me) is now going through the process of filing for bankruptcy. if I were to take the Macbook into Apple for repairs is there any way Apple could keep it because it's not being paid for? It was paid using the Juniper Card (Now Barclaycard?) that Apple offered on their online store.

IANAL. It's a gift means it's yours now. They can't take it away from you, ( you are not bankrupted, right?:lol )
 
Why is it that a lot of porn contains a disgusting man fucking the girl, and sometimes even market themselves with the icky men in question as selling points ("Disgusting man fucks 23 old teen!")? Serious question.

Fetish. Also, most of the people who watch porn are ugly, so it's easier to imagine themselves as the fat hedgehog fucking the daylights out of that blonde, DD-chested "teenager."

With reifiable observations like this, who needs real answers?

But to an extent it is to do with aspirational fantasy for some, and possible self-satisfaction for others. Then others might be turned on by the whole issue of female self-degradation. And others may fantasise about subverting entrenched western social mating structures.

I would think that the deciding factor lies in the size of his penis. Not saying well endowed men are ugly, but you can't pick and choose based on facial appearance.

And I would agree with the above poster that this selling point is a fetish thing. I absolutely love the Jurrasic Cock series for this reason.

One, you used the word wrong. I didn't make an abstract ideal appear to be concrete with my statement. Perhaps you meant "ignorant," or some derivative thereof. Ugly is not an ideal, but a subjective opinion. However, we're basing the responses upon the theory that all porn actors are, in fact, ugly. Therefore, in no context is that word correct.

Two, relax, bud. It's a stupid answers to stupid questions thread. With such insightful questions such as "Why do I get a stomach ache when I eat chicken," followed by such sound advice such as "Punch the chicken in the head before you eat it," this thread is not really designed to be a bastion of all scientific knowledge.

Nor was my answer the result of extensive sociological studies into the lives of the average pornography connoisseur. Sorry if I gave that impression. I'll sign off with a few hearty "lol's," or perhaps an animated smiley face in the future, for your benefit.

Third, no, seriously. Relax, bro.

lol. :lol

My car has been very oil-leaky for the last year, but I finally got some ramps and fixed the damn problems. However, there are many, many quarts of oil soaked into my drive... I know kitty litter is often used to soak out oil stains, but will this work for very severe oil stains in a drive way? Any special way I should go about it? It's definitely an eyesore :/

Auto Zone sells some crap to help with this. It's a long, long process though. Also, you'll need a scrub brush that you can pick up at any marine supply store. I've been working at mine for quite some while.

Anything with stiff bristles. Oh, and they make an acid that they use to clean the hulls of ships that would remove the oil in about 5 minutes. But, you know. Acid. Dangerous, and possibly illegal to wash down the sewer.

It takes less than 20 years for every atom in your body to have been replaced.

Why did the stop making 3d doritios and will they ever make a come back?
Click to expand...
They stopped making them because they didn't sell well enough. And no, they'll never come back. They're gone forever.

I would do unspeakable things to bring back 3D Doritos. Unspeakable things.

I used to use the animator that came with paint shop pro.
 
Do I really need to charge a new cell phone battery 12 hours before I use it? Does it make that big of a difference in battery life?
 
I need a gif made, but I am too stupid to know how to make that happen.

In 30 Rock,Season 2, episode 2 at the 12:00 minute mark, there is a scene where Wil Arnett leans over and whispers "I'm going to make your heart explode."

I need that in gif form so bad. Can anybody help?

It takes seven.
edit- Every seven years you are, figuratively speaking, an entirely different person than you were seven years before.
 
If gravity form a planet by compressing surrounding gas/elements into round sphere (planets & suns). Why does we see those clouds of gas in space? Is gravity that slow/weak to form planets and suns?

Was that the episode when they were playing football with Rip Torn's family and Will Arnett was surrounded by temptation?

Either way I can't help you. I don't know how to make gifs.

Thanks for the responses.

How did they arrive at that figure? Is it based on observation of atoms in organic matter or is it theoretical? Can we accurately identify and track individual particulates on that scale?

It seems like one of those experiments where the observation would change the outcome.

Yup, that was the one!
 
Ok I started noticing this a while back and I want to know the reasons why some if any of you guys do it. Whenever I go to a public rest room or the rest room at my job I notice that a lot of guys go and wash there hands first, then take a leak, then wash there hands again. Sure I can understand the washing your hands last, but why before taking a leak? No I'm sure these guys don't have dirty hands. Why clean your hands to touch your balls if you consider them unclean after touching your balls?
 
OK this isn't meant to be racist in any way but I have a question that relates to Japanese people.

I've just got back from NY and noticed that a hell of a lot of Japanese girls like to show a V (peace) sign whne having photos taken.

Is there a different cultural meaning for the handsign or is it just something that's more done over there?

I don't normally do this, but if I've just taken out the trash or something, I'll wash my hands before touching my dick.

My dick is clean as far as I'm concerned; I only wash afterward as courtesy to others.

I could see if you've shaken hands with people or whatever, you might not want to touch your dick right after without washing. I think it's a bit much myself.

Also, who touches their balls when they take a leak? :lol
