>"I'm seriously worried that you might think that I was NOT kidding. Ican usually predict how people who post fairly often in newsgroups will respond. Not this time." Well, that's the breaks. If I ever get there we have to bullshit for awhile. This is highly unlikely though. And you will never predict me except on electronics issues. But predicting me ? HAHAHA>"You must really want to believe that everything I write is serious and true..."You should know me better than that. I busted 191 on an IQ test. (you might hit even higher) I KNOW it isn't that high and that was the peak. I averaged 150 or so. How did I get here ? I never take anything at face value.>"Perhaps there are a few emotionalists lurking in S.E.D. among thecold, calculating, and logical majority? " There is absolutely no doubt.>"Think of S.E.D. as a meal. The main course is the on-topic technicaldiscussions. The off-topic threads are the desert. " Well I have had plenty of desert, I want meat. And here we are in an idiot thread. Hot one MF here has even asked about the mechanism by which these phone cause this cancer. If so I missed it. But as far as I can see, nobody has asked just how the microwave affect human tissue, or asked for or provide links to any research Re that. What does that ell you ? Even here with a quite distilled contingent, they don't know how to look for answers on their own. The book tells then how to handle thing like on Star Trek m- Piece Of The Action. They accept it without considering the content, only the the source. "Oh he is a Harvard grad, he must be right". Did they miss when a bunch of them got caught cheating on the tests ? No wonder why nobody knows shit. You're one of the last vestiges of common sense on Usenet. You are not allowed to die. This place would go to hell.

It had had the same flavour for years, but they decided to bring out a "new, improved taste" bottle. Not long after it appeared in the shops, the CEO received a letter: "Dear Sir, I have just tried a bottle of your "New improved cherry flavour" cough syrup. It must have been really shitty before the change". Yours sincerely..." Short and to the point, eh? :-) -- Jeff

There's more land in the northern hemisphere than in the south so summer sunlight drives land plant growth, soaking up CO2. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney

Cursitor Doom is the kind of gullible twit who believes that kind of nonsense. -- Bill

There are probably other methods and variations.I think this is quite a reach. I know when I take a pill I can usually taste is for some time. Some pills like Ibuprofen have a bit of a taste (in this case soapy) which I still taste until it is washed out by eating or drinking something, even if I took the pill with water. You should not assume your method of taking pills is at all common. Even your method where you say they start dissolving on your tongue clearly would put them in contact with all the other parts of your mouth. Rick C.

There are probably other methods and variations.>I know when I take a pill I can usually taste is for some time.Not me. Before going to sleep, I take 10 pills, 2 of which are somewhat foul tasting. Add one more if I crunch down on the pill between my teeth. If there's any after taste, it only lasts a few seconds as I usually wash down any residue after swallowing. I'll check tonight.>Some pills like Ibuprofen have a bit of a taste (in this case >soapy) which I still taste until it is washed out by eating or >drinking something, even if I took the pill with water.I rarely take Ibuprofen, so I wouldn't know.>You should not assume your method of taking pills is at all >common.Please read what I wrote. I gave plenty of consideration for alternate styles.>Even your method where you say they start dissolving on your >tongue clearly would put them in contact with all the other >parts of your mouth.That's possible, but I think I prevent the pill pile from moving forward or upward with my tongue between drinks. I'm not sure. It's possible that as I'm moving the pills around the back of my mouth with my tongue, I might loose control of one or two pills that will then hit the roof of my mouth, but that's unusual. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558
