My dad is the coolest! He sent me a blood pressure checking machine. I've been playing with it since I knocked off work for the evening. Now my left arm is getting kind of sore. You would think I would have crazy high blood pressure, but it is actually ridiculously optimal.
Blood Pressure that would be called normal today, would have been rediculously high, several decades ago.

80's...Cold war heats up...stock market crashes again...MTV begisn to sodomize music.

Stress adds up.
That makes no sense at all.Quote:

Stress only builds up if you have no release for it. That's why it's key to have something that takes your stress away like a hobby or activity. It's also basic physics. Look at a dam...water pressure is releived to prevent it from building up and destroying the dam.
Plus look at the cold hard facts...humans live longer today than at any other time in history and it keeps climbing. 2 Generations from now people 100+ may not be so rare. So your "vast build up" theory only applies to those who have no way to release their stress...and they are usually killed by stress RELATED illnesses.
Coping with stress is a basic skill you MUST learn to live your life to any level of joy...or else you spend more times worrying about life than actually living it...
Lastly...if a Gorilla throws a pie at you and you want it to stop...don't give it any more pie's...or just shoot the fucking thing and eat it. They are edible after all.
Are gorillas cuisine some where in the world or are you just assuming they are edible?
Although I have never eaten a Guerilla, I assume doing so would be very akin to "sub-cannabalism".Quote:

I hate bad spelling.
Gorilla
n : largest anthropoid ape; terrestrial and vegetarian; of forests of central west Africa
\Go*ril"la\, n. [An African word; found in a Greek translation of a treatise in Punic by Hanno, a Carthaginian.] (Zo["o]l.) A large, arboreal, anthropoid ape of West Africa. It is larger than a man, and is remarkable for its massive skeleton and powerful muscles, which give it enormous strength. In some respects its anatomy, more than that of any other ape, except the chimpanzee, resembles that of man.
Guerrilla
n. A member of an irregular, usually indigenous military or paramilitary unit operating in small bands in occupied territory to harass and undermine the enemy, as by surprise raids.
\Guer*ril"la\, n. 1. An irregular mode of carrying on war, by the constant attacks of independent bands, adopted in the north of Spain during the Peninsular war.
Note: The term guerrilla is the diminutive of the Spanish word guerra, war, and means petty war, that is, war carried on by detached parties; generally in the mountains.
I apologize, but my analogies and descriptions still apply in either case. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaughQuote:

Pretty rare you'll find them eaten outside of these communities though. I'm curious what they would taste like though.Quote:
