# An Inuit is always an Eskimo
but an Eskimo's not always an Inuit. Inuit is to Eskimo as guppy is to fish.

Call a non Inuit an Inuit for TINY PARKA RAGE.

# I almost got a parka for this very reason.
Until I realised padded coats aren't really a good idea when you're chumbly.

ALTHOUGH

I'm now 7lb lighter than I was on Weds/Thurs last week, and I've lost 2.5 inches from my waist since December 24th. \o/

# No, I've not been hungry and am eating only when nagged or forced.
Luckily, everywhere I go there is someone to nag and/or force. My PA is on my case at the moment, she wants me to eat this apple.

I have a new lady chum and need to reduce my waist and improve my fitness for the enjoyment of her.

Have you done anything in particular or just eat helathier and sometimes do exercise?

# As a health facist
and general spoilsport I feel obligied to point out that loosing 7lb in a week is rather unhealthy...

The most you should realisticly and healthily be able to shed in a week is 2-3lb of fat, anything above that tends to result in the loss of lean muscle or is down to dehydration.
The loss of lean muscle leads to a slower metabolism and the easier gain of weight once the diet ends.

Here endith the sermon.

# I didn't think, I just thought I thought
Inuit and Eskimo are different types of "Northern wastes type people" rather than one being a subset of another.

Where's Venn when you need him?


P.s. I like to spell it "Esquimaux" and I don't know why.

P.s. I bet it wasn't Stephen that was wrong, I bet it was a researcher. He knew they were wrong but wanted to see if the team knew. If the team hadn't found it out he would have gone "Aaaaah.... but REALLY..." and we'd have joyed and glee'd.

# Inuit means "We the people".
I can't remember the movie I was watching, but I learned something from film studies.

I think it was something about missionaries.

# The missionary got lost in the forest, and all the inuit people laughed at him.
"How could you get lost in the forest?" they said.

I got an A for writing an essay comparing this to someone getting lost in a supermarket.

edit: now that I think about it, it was about getting lost in the perfume section of a department store.

# hmm
"It's all made of trees that look exactly the same, and by the way, I just got lost for several hours in a forest that's freezing cold and full of dangerous animals, I'm not in the mood to be laughed at right now you hateful igloo-dwelling shit" was the reply I believe.
