Just don’t carry it up too fast, or you’ll get nitrogen embolisms!

Ok, carry on.

No. Sorry, I was talking to JohnB.

But, but,…I didn’t say first.

Am I being punished with wiki-facts for something else I did?

The diver is unable to resume breathing with a mouthpiece and is rushed to the surface. The sudden decompression forms air embolisms and usually kills them.

The bends is nitrogen forming bubbles in the blood and joint fluids in the body when pressure is reduced too suddenly. Slow reduction in pressure prevents air embolisms from forming.
Nitrogen narcosis is the narcotic effect nitrogen has at increased partial pressures. I was taught that each atmosphere of increased pressure (appx. 10 meters or 33 ft of dive depth) has the same effect as 1 drink on mental abilities. A diver can become completely irrational. A classic is when they remove their mouthpiece and try to breath water like fish.

Great! Now all you need is a snake and a bunch of badgers!

Okay.

But if I go to the hospital on House, I want “13″ to be my doctor. I have some edema I’d like her to palpate…

By: Meowth

Meowth — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 18:38:41 +0000

Don’t we all! It is almost worth moving to Canada… Almost.

By: Meowth

Meowth — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 18:36:29 +0000

Yes, it was, now that you mention it…

By: JohnB

JohnB — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:49:51 +0000

But was it harsh brown?

By: JohnB

JohnB — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:49:07 +0000

I sure wish going to the hospital was on the house!

By: Meowth

Meowth — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:41:59 +0000

No, I just used steamboat cum!

By: Meowth

Meowth — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:41:15 +0000

The one on House.

I do generally add mushrooms, especially since my wife considers them essential. I like them, but don’t feel like I have to have them.

By: JohnB

JohnB — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:32:18 +0000

I checked all my Allman Brothers CDs, and they’re all still there. You must have washed yours with a harsh cleaning flavor.

By: JohnB

JohnB — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:28:21 +0000

Well, that depends. What hospital did you admit It to?

By: Meowth

Meowth — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:26:33 +0000

If you find me offensive, you should give me credit for admitting it.

By: JohnB

JohnB — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 16:50:30 +0000

Aha! So you admit being offensive! And you think that deserves credit instead of approbation?

By: Meowth

Meowth — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:24:23 +0000

Just do it in the cellar.

By: Meowth

Meowth — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 20:35:31 +0000

They already came off.

By: Meowth

Meowth — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 20:28:36 +0000

The best defense is a good offense! You should give credit where credit is due!

By: JohnB

JohnB — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 20:19:25 +0000

I think we ought to slow down and let some of the other folks get in on this repartee! I’d say that you can probably tell I used to be a fencer, but you’d probably just say you were better at being a defencer…

By: JohnB

JohnB — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 20:14:59 +0000

I don’t know about that. Check with the Allman Brothers.

By: JohnB

JohnB — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 20:13:44 +0000

Sorry, in this economy, I can’t give you any credit.

By: Meowth

Meowth — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 19:59:47 +0000

Just leave me a loan for a while.

By: JohnB

JohnB — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 19:54:52 +0000

It’s the lease you could do.

By: Meowth

Meowth — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 19:51:38 +0000

I’ll buy the virtual estate instead.

By: JohnB

JohnB — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 18:52:50 +0000

I don’t think they let you check geographical features out of the library, especially if you’re from abroad.

By: Meowth

Meowth — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 18:47:05 +0000

After all men come off?

By: Meowth

Meowth — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 18:46:07 +0000

Well, if I ever go to Australia, I’ll have to check it out!

By: JohnB

JohnB — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 18:20:45 +0000

Obviously, it’s on the southwestern coast of Australia, near Cape Barren, home of the Cape Barren Goose.

iSnack? Unless that’s an app for the iPhone, all that makes me think of is the eyeballs floating in soup in one of the Indy Jones movies.

By: JohnB

JohnB — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 18:09:16 +0000

I don’t. But while I do come off, it isn’t at all fast.

By: Meowth

Meowth — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:10:43 +0000

I’ve never been to Cape Gooseberry. Which coast is it on?

By: Meowth

Meowth — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:06:24 +0000

If you add raisins to that mix, it is called “Ants on a Log,” and is quite good.

By: Meowth

Meowth — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:04:39 +0000

If you are worried about nitrogen narcosis, don’t come up so fast!

By: Meowth

Meowth — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:02:55 +0000

It is cleaning flavored.

I can’t have anything with herpes or whore dust in it.

Celery is disgusting, it is EEBIL, it is unnatural and an affront in the sight of god (and I say that as an atheist).

How tough is this to grow? I might like to sub it for cilantro in the garden, or add it.

By: hollyr57

hollyr57 — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 15:16:21 +0000

Well, I use it in stuffing and make a decent soup from it but for someone with an impaired sense of smell it had zero flavor.

I tried Vegemite and celery. Meh, stick with the cream cheese or peanut butter.

Even the Chinese is wrong. They made the character for vegetarian dish 斋 into 齐– some evidence that the original has been mistaken in traditional Chinese and carried over to simplified.

This should refer to a vegetarian dish flavoured with Chinese celery, probably with Chinese fungus and wheat gluten.

Pasta with peanuts and chopped celery in a bechamel sauce?

I’m chewing mint-flavoured gum at the moment, so I’ll get back to you after I try Vegemite and celery.
Coincidentally, there’s a new kind of Vegemite mixed with cream cheese. After much hunting for a name, they decided to call it iSnack. *groan*

What, no mushrooms?
My favourite addition to a stirfry is Cape Gooseberry. It’s a small orange-coloured berry, related to the tomato. Doesn’t taste great fresh, but cooked- wow! Kind of sweet+umami.
They may be hard to find unless you grow your own (which I do) , or live near where they grow. Seeds are available on teh interwebs.
