Mainframeguy Some French philosopher said, when a man has a house he has a mistress for life (meaning a burden).... There's no answer if you insist on living in a house. Or shed all your posessions and live in a tent. Otherwise count yourself lucky not to be homeless....

I was just responding to another discussion, and I realized how dependent we have all become on the Internet. The discussion I responded to asked the question: What would you do if the Internet had to be shut down for a...

Mainframeguy You do not mean you would die without it. You mean you would want it or crave it. The distinction matters and over time you may even find you like life without it - we never know these things until we try. The things it adds are small conveniences and major...

Did you know that you can walk on custard?

Mainframeguy @Mainframeguy (200) 5 Jul 08

It is true - does anyone know the name for the physical property of custard that permits this? It is not the skin or meniscus layer... something else. And is there a "did you know" section on mylot or is this the closest? I...

jesus custard walk did you know

Water skater can run on water surface . Why and how?

curious888 @curious888 (1212) • Malaysia 14 Jun 08

In the morning, I noticed some insects, ( probably water skaters ) walked and sometimes ran on the surface of pond water. Why and how they can do that? Any other insects can walk on water surface?

Mainframeguy it is because of the miniscus layer.... the one tat dips up at the sides - they are small scale enough to make use of that. By the way =- people can walk un custard also - it is a rare liquid that has the property of staying liquid when you poke it, but...

Mainframeguy Celebrated like any pregnancy should be celebrated, just the same as a mother of any age has the right. If you mean underage prgnancy then SAY SO. I know of two women in my family (and anyone pregnant is to my mind a woman and not a girl by definition). They...

Why so many fast food posts on this site?

Mainframeguy @Mainframeguy (200) 4 Jul 08

Why oh why are there people asking about McD versus BK and KFC etc etc ad nauseam on this site? Is this like the trailer trash of the 'net? It's the only conclusion I can draw. No fine cuisine, no gourmet, no cooking to speak...

Mainframeguy welll.... maybe that is one point - over here McD's is not cheap to my mind - I suspect there may be a pricing differential and perhaps if it were the cheapest place to eat I may be forced there (I am on welfare like you so I do actually understand). But from...

Mainframeguy Maybe it can be the fathers fault too - just a thought. Also fault implies it is a bad thing which is horrible - I'd prefer it were soemthing to be celebrated. Just because they are in their teens does not make it wrong, not at all.

Mainframeguy no problems here - if you are a child it is different. Also how you were treated as a child. They say you should offer a child a new thing about 30 times, only then can you assume they really do not like it because they will have tried it. You were probably...
