Ärende: NOT THE SAME 21

Interesting. I don't pay either, and I have almost full access.

 GJ> Taxi drivers are
 GJ> banned from discussing politics and other contraversal subjects.

Which of course only encourages them. Things I've heard about in
the last couple years range from the wisdom of having (foreign)
prostitutes work the streets to how Singapore should align more
with China and worry about those nasty Muslims in Indonesia to
the inequity of the speed limits on the East Coast Highway, all
spiced with a dose of admiration for the foresightedness and
saintliness of Minister Mentor Lee.

 GJ> one of them getting his bow and arrow and fatally shooting the other.
 ML> Somehow there's something charmingly backward about that.
 GJ> I hope it doesn't result in a government ban on unlicenced bows and
 GJ> arrows, or I would be in trouble, as I have a couple of bows and a
 GJ> bunch of arrows from PNG.

Remind me not to discuss religion with you.

I'd give it a try, especially if the heads were removed.

 ML> I ate roast beef at least three times a day, ungarnished,
 ML> 8 to 12 oz at a shot.
 ML> That's 1500-2000 Calories a day, all protein.
 GJ> Not really.  There would be a lot of fat in that as well - possibly
 GJ> 10% or more, which has a much higher calorific value than protein.

Well, the cut of beef I used runs 493 Kcal per 300 grams, so
you can do the math.

 GJ> What would be really interesting is the effect of a diet like that on
 GJ> your body.  What were your weight, cholesterol, blood sugar, blood
 GJ> pressure values before and after.

I would guess same, same, marginally lower, marginally lower.
Hap would guess lower for the first. Ian would probably guess
lower for the second.

 GJ> That sounds ominous!  I have noticed that some animals become savage
 GJ> when fed on too much raw meat.

[baring teeth]

 My recommendation is for you to eat
 GJ> nothing but mildly curried lentils for 2 weeks.

Were I to do something foolhardy like that I'd probably
hop a plane to Australia and run, foaming at the mouth,
to form an unholy and dangerous partnership with Chooky.

 ML> I believe I could live on an all-protein diet - for a
 ML> week, a month, a year, a decade. The only thing I could
 ML> possibly miss would be beer, and the only variation I could
 ML> foresee wanting would be rare versus raw.
 GJ> The length of time you could live on a diet like that would probably
 GJ> be determined by the length of your life, which might not be great.

Had I not in the past promised Carol I'd refrain from
doing so, I'd have been happy to put this to the test.
