Random Questions

[Leofski]

The rift between ninjas and pirates began in 1563, when Blackbeard and Blackcatsuit, the foremost pirate and ninja of the age were in preschool. Blackcatsuit was round Blackbeard's place playing with a trainset. Blackcatsuit wanted to use Blackbeard's favourite train, the "Adventure Prize", but Blackbeard wouldn't let him. Most preschool kids would have started crying, but Blackcatsuit was a ninja-preschool kid meaning he flipped out and killed Blackbeard's pet cat Nibbles. It would have been pretty sweet if they had then had a fight but their moms came in and Blackcatsuit got taken home. Ever since that day, you've heard ninjas complaining about the greed of pirates and pirates complaining about ninjas being no-good, cat-killing, sneaky, little landlubbers. Since both ninjas and pirates are totally sweet, this is likely to go on till the end of time, but both of them complain about their moms.

My question...what are [i]hotdogs [/i]really made of?

I've seen those documentaries on them...and I'm a tad frightened.

[QUOTE=kayutori_sama]My question...what are [i]hotdogs [/i]really made of?

Hot dogs are made of meat, meat fat, a "cereal filler" (bread crumbs, oatmeal or flour), a little egg white, and spices (onion, garlic, salt, pepper, etc.)

But of course it depends on what kind of hot dog you buy.

The ingredients in hot dogs have been the subject of much humor, rumor and speculation. But the answer is less exciting than the question.

All hot dogs are cured and cooked sausages that consist of mainly pork, beef, chicken and turkey or a combination of meat and poultry. Meats used in hot dogs come from the muscle of the animal and looks much like what you buy in the grocer's case. Other ingredients include water, curing agents and spices, such as garlic, salt, sugar, ground mustard, nutmeg, coriander and white pepper.

If variety meats such as liver and hearts are used in processed meats, the U.S. Department of Agriculture requires the manufacturer to declare those ingredients on the package with the statement "with variety meats" or "with meat by-products." The manufacturer must then specify which variety meat is included. In the U.S., companies are required to list ingredients in order, from the main ingredient, to the least ingredient

Do I don't think it's a matter of "What's in the hotdog?" that may be frightening, but the way the animal is killed, and the meat is processed. Ick.[/FONT]

No, that just make you bored and the owner of a potentially nasty habit. Unless, ofcourse, then you follow that up by eating your whole finger.

Question: Whats more important, great tasting or less filling?

[color=DarkSlateBlue][font=Trebuchet MS][quote name='Lord Dante][/font][/color]if i bite off the dead skin on the end of my finger, does that make me a cannibal?[color=DarkSlateBlue'][font=Trebuchet MS][/quote] I wouldn't start worrying unless you get the urge to bite the dead skin on the end of [b]someone else's [/b]finger.
[quote name='Outlaw][/font][/color]Whats more important, great tasting or less filling?[color=DarkSlateBlue'][font=Trebuchet MS][/quote] That's a no brainer! Great tasting every time. I'd rather eat a chocolate fudge cake that took me to heaven with every mouthful but felt like a brick in my stomach than, say, some celery. And besides, you can always just eat [b]less[/b] of the great-tasting-but-filling stuff.

[COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=2][FONT=Times New Roman]Well I dont know the answer to any of these questions however I am wondering that in the world of computer launguages. Why are there so many different kinds of it. Like the only ones that I know so far are HtML and a very tiny bit of CSS. Wouldent alot of this just be easier if there was just one launguage?[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

You know I can't really answer your question,but as a computer science major I was wondering the same thing. i have to(over 4 years)learn Java,Python,C,C++, and Pearl..there's no telling how many I am forgetting.Java and Python seems to be the universal. I'll ask my comp science professor tomorrow and add to this post!! :catgirl:

[SIZE=1]While I myself haven't eaten a banana with the peel still on, I watched my brother do just that a couple of days ago as part of a "macho" game he and his friends were having. Judging by the look on his face and my own experience in taking a taste of what the peel tastes like it's not something you'd do on a regular basis. Well at least he didn't have to eat the expired yoghurt one of his friends had the unfortunate pleasure of being challenged to do.

[b]Question:[/b] What is the longest you have ever spend doing something without taking a break ?[/SIZE][/QUOTE]

[quote name='Outlaw']Question: Whats more important, great tasting or less filling?[/quote]


[size=1][color=slategray]Well that's particular easy to answer, great tasting. I believe that everything you eat is based on how it tastes on a chart of 1-10. 1 being the lowest taste of all and 10 being the greatest taste. I don't know but that's my philosophy.

[center]My Question:[/center] On Naruto, the pink haired girl, Sakura doesn't seem to have any special talents. The other charaters like Gaara use sand, his sister Temari uses wind, and so forth. What I'm wondering is, does Sakura have any special techniques besides doppelganger and evenly contributing her chakra?

I know it's a dumb question. Just thought I'd ask.*shrug*

[SIZE=1]Sorry to be a pain in the rear end, but that is false. I'm not going to post any of her particular 'powers', but just goolge and browse around for spoilers. (They haven't revealed alot of things yet)

Also, she was supposed to be the smartest one in her class... So giver her a mulititude of 'super powers' to go along with her super-brain would make her too... Well... over-powered, don't you think?

But she does serve well as a mere love-interest at this point, yes. Be patient, young grasshoppers, and you will see her importance very soon.[/SIZE]

[quote name='Outlaw']Here's one with the potential for some funny answers. Were's the weirdest place you've ever hooked up?[/quote]

Hooked up meaning met someone and started dating, or hooked up meaning had sex?

sex: in a park, lol

Why is it that all the guys like to date chicks who are fugly as hell, but they never date the girls who are REALLY pretty? (my smoking buddy Gwen has this problem)

Maybe guys and gals just like the 'fuglies' and the 'idiots' that pay them more attention.

My question- Is PhotoShop REALLY all that much better than PaintShopPro?[/SIZE]

[Stuart]

[quote name='sakurasuka][SIZE=1']My question- Is PhotoShop REALLY all that much better than PaintShopPro?[/SIZE][/quote]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS]From my opinion? No, I completly hate it. It's more of a hasle to get some simple things done; I hate the program. I'm in a digital imaging course where we use Photoshop, and it aggravates me to no end. I find that there's nothing on Photoshop that you can't do on Paint Shop Pro. So, I don't know why everyone is so hyped over Photoshop, but perhaps it's just me. Some people might tell you differently. I'd still encourage you to give the program a try. Download a free trial version before you buy to see how you like it. (I say this because I know it's on your Christmas list.)

Thats a good question..The only thing that I can even think of is that most guys dont want to date the pretty people because they turn up to be shallow and think about themselves more than the ones that they date. For what I think I really dont have a clue. but It is pretty much as Raiyuu said.

Yet another random question from me. Why is it that when you Show a male Beta (the fish I think I spelled it wrong) a reflection of itself that it goes all freaky and tries to fight itself? Dont they eventually realise that they are really fighting themselfs? EVen though it is fun to watch.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[quote name='sakurasuka][SIZE=1']My question- Is PhotoShop REALLY all that much better than PaintShopPro?[/SIZE][/quote]

Heh, well I go the other way Stuart... both are excellent programs in my opinion but I prefer Photoshop (running CS2 at the moment and I'm a die hard Photoshop fan).

While I find PaintShop pro easier by far, there are many more advanced features I trust Photoshop with handling. I'm really not sure I could go into much more detail beyond that (having no formal training in Photoshop I do what feels right, likewise I do the same with PaintShop). For me, Photoshop and the way you can custom tweak it is right for me (scripts, etc).

Again, all about personal taste I suppose ? yeah, try both for sure? I know a lot of people that use both PaintShop for default and Photoshop for advanced editing and/or different tasks (signature creation and avatar creation might be easily done on Photoshop, where as some more advanced works - or even those things if done in a complicated way - might warrant something that handles complex tasks better). Both programs by and large are similar; it's just how each program handles the tasks it's made to perform.

I have a Japanese fighting fish right here... let me try it. *Jeopardy theme song playing* eep, he almost lost a fin in the battle! [b]Answer:[/b] they naturally hate themselves, all Betta's have self destructive personalities since many of them have similar (yet different) coloration. Too bloody close for comfort for them... they want to be different! So essentially they feel inferior even in their own reflection and try to destroy themselves in utter despair! :animesmil I'm new here, but you'll see, give me enough time I can answer everything. *Touches foreheads* Next! :)

*Mood ruiner, since this question is bound to be boring, not fun and self centered* Mm... so, I'm supposed to ask a question now? Does anyone else here use Maya by Alias for high-end graphics, animations, movies, etc and if so any tips for learning the program's ins and outs where it won't cost me much? (Finding it terribly difficult and unfortunately all the guides cost too much).

No, but I find them very amusing. You may have noticed a few were people who went through 'horrific accidents' are actually smiling as they recount them. Doesn't seem very real to me.

Anyway, my question:

Why is it that girls/boys beat up/annoy the ones they have a crush on? I have my own theories (as I've done it myself), I'd just like to see what other people think.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]I think it's just shouting for attention. Boys (And girls sometimes) bug those they like so they'll get attention. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad attention. Bad attention is better than no attention at all.[/SIZE]
