In the news

And hush puppies.

The nurse misunderstood the company's policy

link 1 link 2

The DNR request appears to only be coincidental, the nurse didn't bring it up at the time which would have been a glaringly obvious thing to mention. In which case the home is very fortunate the woman and her family didn't want resuscitation. Nurse is on leave now

her boss also told her not to attempt any cpr.

Mars has got one hell of a whopper of a comet heading straight for it, due to do whatever it likes in October 2014. The comet (siding spring) travelling at 36 miles per second and is coming in against mars' own orbit so the combined speed will be huge.
NASA are sceptical that it will hit but will instead pass by at a similar orbit as our satellites over there. However, a comet's trajectory is changeable as they wobble their way across space due to bits coming off etc.

If it does hit mars, which is certainly possible, it will be amazing. We should be able to see it with the naked eye quite clearly. Also, the satellites will get one hell of a view either way, as will Curiosity, if its in the right place (or wrong).

Either way, its going to be spectacular.

Mars can take its medicine... fucking red planet.

takes care of that red menace

Seeing as comets are effectively big dirty snowballs, it might do a handy ammount of terraforming for us...

Yellow snow?

Its not impossible...

Also, we'll see how quickly the coma oxidises in the atmosphere which would indicate the presence of methane which would indicate bacteria under the ground...

Fucksake, it's a fucking comet, them things have been around since the beginning of fucking time... The whole fucking planet solar system galaxy universe need to harden the fuck up!

#whatisreallynewaboutcomets?

Not since the beginning of time, stars would have needed to have formed and died and made all the lovely heavy elements that are flying round space.

It's kind of like a bus; doesn't really intrude into your consciousness until in intrudes into your skull.

Plus if it hits Mars it'll be something never observed in such a way before.

you would have though nasa might be able to predict it a little bit more accurately

i mean they do have computers there don't they ? ..... don't they ?

It is an example of the "3-body problem", making it difficult to calculate. However I suspect they can track and extrapolate the trajectory to improve accuracy.

Not surprising really. If you're constantly putting shit like that comprised of sawdust, steroids, blood, and pink chemical dye into your stomach, it'll end up poisoning you eventually.

I doubt that people are too bothered with dying a couple of years early, but the possibility of a heart attack, colon cancer or stomach abcesses might make people rethink their diets a bit.

You said that like it's perfectly common, I think you're being absurd.

There's also another article also saying red meat increase health problem too.

come on have you seen some of the bloated waddlers walking down the street
they know being 20 stone overweight is dangerous but they still have a can of coke in one hand and a pork pie in the other

you can't teach some people

Diet Coke usually.

^^ Reminds me of when I went to Disneyworld. The Too fat to walk fatties were riding around in mobility scooters keeping them more fat as they didn't have to make any effort to walk. Also the little front basket proved to be an excellent place to store Turkey legs and other treats to eat whilst driving one-handed.

Fat people. Often miserable that they are so large. But let's keep on judging them anyway.

these things are not really that connected. at least not in a simplistic way. yes, some people are 20 stone because they eat too many burgers and sausages, but not all. and some people are fat and relatively healthy. just like some people are not fat (size/weight) and relatively unhealthy.
and perhaps the things that lead to people being extremely overweight are a little more complex than being lazy and stuffing your face.

i was making the point about people not really heeding advise on diet and the like not that the processed food and fatness are linked

fair enough.
