When he said that it's because of his denser bones. To which I cried 'bollocks', but sadly I was wrong- people of black african descent tend to have far more mineral-dense bones than caucasians. You live and learn.
tl;dr: When people say big boned, they may mean dense boned.

This is a normal post Really?
Doesn't it depend on diet? And does it make that much of a difference?
I'm open to the suggestion that there might be minor differences, but I'm sceptical of the idea that they're sufficient to outweigh the effects of environment and habit, and of the idea that it neatly follows ethnic lines (which is to say: even if there's an observable difference at the margins, it doesn't follow that there'll be one for any bog-standard individual). I'd like to hear more: do you have any references?

It could just be that he's not a very good swimmer.

 (I helped save b3ta! Tab Hunter Make this useless process end and so, begin again, Fri 13 Jul 2012, 10:29, Reply)
This is a normal post Hmmm... I shall check out some of those papers.
All the same, the idea that it makes a difference to swimming ability for the bog-standard is one that intuitively seems debateable. It might make a difference at the elite level; but elite swimmers of any ethnicity are so abnormal that they're hardly a good guide. Human populations simply aren't that diverse.

But I shall read more...

This is a normal post Sorry- I should clarify. I'm not concerned about swimming:
I'm just amazed that there's a marked difference in mineral bone density dependant on ethnic heritage, to the extent that's it's caused academic debate.
 (I helped save b3ta! Tab Hunter Make this useless process end and so, begin again, Fri 13 Jul 2012, 11:27, Reply)
This is a normal post It could point to all kinds of things.
For example, it might have to do with cultural norms that are more strongly associated with one ethnic group than another and make a difference to lifestyle. That way, it wouldn't be ethinicity per se that carries the load.

As I said, I shall read further. Google Scholar has its uses...

But that has to do with diet: if you eat veg from one area, then elements from the local soil will find their way into your body. I've been wondering ever since that case whether that particular line of forensic investigation closes with increased urbanisation, since people's diets wouldn't be so localised.

Does the total weight of everything on the planet basically remain constant?

If 45,439,259 tonnes were added to the total weight of the world's population, this would not in fact make the planet heavier, as resources are finite and the weight would be taken by the surrounding environment - ie, 45,439,259 tonnes of chips

This is a normal post I've been at a cross roads on this BMI bollox until last week
I've dropped nearly 3 stone in the last 6 months, and training for a half marathon, after not being able to walk up a flight of stairs without being absolutely paggered.

My BMI at the start of all this was 27.7 and my total Body Fat Mass around 28%.

I'm now 11 stone, and starting to get quite lean. I am building a lot of muscle as well. did the checks again, and i've gone to 18% Total Body Fat but BMI is still 27+

It's got to be nonsense, if such a big change in lifestyle, fitness, size etc... means nothing on the BMI scale. For the record i am 5'4" so 11 stone is still not quite there for my liking but damn close.

This is a normal post You're right.
It is a rough-and-ready guide. If you have a BMI of 27, then that should just prompt another question: Why?

For some people, it'll be because they're fat. For others, it'll be because they're muscular. Further, simply stating BMI doesn't differentiate between visceral and subcutaneous fat, and that's an important distinction.

As a first step, assessing BMI isn't a bad measure - but it is only a first step.

Always bugs me that the only time we get to see the Alien full length is when a stocky muscular stunt man is wearing a cruder mock up of the costume after it gets blasted out of Ripleys airlock, he looks nothing like the one we've been seeing all thru the movie at all, spoils it a bit.

Yeh there's a few scenes it wouldn't hurt to do a Lucas on, so long as it doesn't involve comedy Jawas and appalling key frame animation, anyway, as they're the main reason I find it hard to enjoy the first film now, lovely as it is, they keep bringing me out of the story.

This is a normal post I'm very against FX being redone
I recently watched a few Star Trek TOS episodes where some pillock had inserted a load of CGI into it. Cunts.

For me it creates the same problem you are hoping it avoids. It breaks my willing suspension of disbelief to see some sparkly CGI stuff in the middle of the 60s stuff.

There doesn't seem to be any kind of limit being imposed on the amount of design put into the CGI upgrades. I'm sure TOS could benefit from some subtle CGI (backgrounds, clearing up matte lines, stopping models from zipping about the place) but instead we get "Look what *I* can do!".

See recent redesign of ED209 for the new Robocop remake. The original was a beautiful combination of corporate design and function. The redesign is an exercise in "CGI Robot you say?? LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF POLYGONS AND POINTY BITS THAT MAKE NO SENSE!!!"

 (Ol' Ginger Bastard a role model for the children, Fri 13 Jul 2012, 8:30, Reply)
This is a normal post That was the air of mystery behind him
he was called The Joker because of the The Joker Playing Card he left as his calling card. Some people didn't get the idea that he changed his story about how he got his facial scars and thought it was a continuity error, but instead it illustrated that The Joker didn't want people to know his back-story and he makes it up as and when it suits him.

but there was the Scarecrow, he made sense, he scared you, and with that burlap sack looked like a scarecrow, fine. Harvey Dent made sense, the whole half face thing, Bane has that mask which pumps him full of anaesthetic and whatnot, it all makes sense. But with the Joker, there was just no reason, he didn't tell jokes, the playing card thing isn't explained, or the make-up. He was just a (very good) generic psychopath. It just feels like a big plot hole.

This is a normal post Sounds a good idea
Superheroes get their own movies, supervillians should too!

The whole 'air of mystery' thing seems tacked on after the fact, to explain away a hole. It could still have been done in a few minutes in the movie with a 'what do we know about him?' scene, with a few rumours etc. throwing some possibilities up. It didn't need to be definitive. The only reason that they could get away with this is because everyone is as familiar with the Joker as they are Batman.

This looks like its going to be half the story and twice the gore, nice and easy money off the 300 style crowd, I wonder if they'll throw in some confusingly homo erotic chest out male bonding scenes too, they all seem to have them?

Seeing it that way explains why it must be fucking hard to bring it to the big screen as in the orginal strip he really isn't the main focus of most of the stories, all the robots, flying cars, belly wheels, Boing and block wars were.

This is a normal post It took me a few episodes, a mate is a fan and asked to watch a few while at my house
Before I knew it I was drawn in, too many familiarities not to really, and the cast is very strong and the writing very sharp at times, very character driven, and unlike many American comedies it doesn't get too dumb or mawkish on you.

I wouldn't say it was unmissable but there's been some stand out episodes that I could watch again n again, such as the time Sheldon gets a robot avatar, the constant smug gurning of the man kills me everytime, and that for me is a good sign that they're getting something right!

This is a normal post Not sure I agree
..that Britain is 'increasingly atheistic' though - think the number of 'atheist' people is roughly the same as it always was, they're just making more fuss about it lately.

Also one must consider immigration - something like a net increase of 200,000 per year isn't it? Most of those are from Eastern Europe and the Asian subcontinent - thus not really shy about the old God-bothering. I'd be very surprised if there are 200,000 per year previously devout people suddenly knocking their lifelong beliefs on the head.

So net I'd say we're actually increasingly religious - or rather increasingly a population of People of Faith, just not in the familiar Anglican way we all knew and loved.

None of which bothers me, for the record. Just saying.
 (Jimmers, Fri 13 Jul 2012, 0:21, Reply)
This is a normal post Dunno.
Church attendance rates are certainly falling, which is probably also a cultural thing, but you would think that believers would still go.

I guess it is easier to be openly atheist nowadays, whereas in the past you would probably be forced to attend church and keep quiet regardless.

Also, regarding immigration, that must mean that kids get exposed to a wider variety of religious practises, so it must be harder to indoctrinate them into a single one as I'm sure any child can easily see that they can't all be right.

That said, having a vague belief in "spirituality" is probably the fastest growing 'religion' in this country. People can be religious without organised religion.
